Just looked at the list of items they accept, and plastic bags are included! I'll definitely be stopping by to donate a bunch of stuff soon.

Blu Skies is great with vibrant hair color. They all seem very nice and non-judgmental.

Eyemart Express.

The best recommendations are going to take your hair type and hair goals into account. I have moderately wavy hair that I like to keep at shoulder length and have had good luck at Blu Skies with Kaitlin McCarty.

A dental office with cookies? That's quite the oxymoron.

I don't have any advice, but I commiserate with you. I too live in a smoke-free building (under TLC Properties management) but one of my neighbors smokes all the time. Unfortunately they smoke in the evening when the management office is already closed, so there is very little that the property manager has been able to do. I'm counting down the months on my lease when I'll be looking to buy a house. I'm so done with being a renter.

I wish other theaters in town had the same rules. Had an awful experience at the Moxie not long ago with a family talking through a not-kid-friendly film, and when I complained to the staff afterward they stated they've had previous issues with the family but they clearly weren't going to do anything about it. (I am a member, and will continue to visit the Moxie frequently though)

The Hearts of Fire Tattoo Shop was crashed into a second time in just a matter of months. Oh Springfield drivers, why is this intersection so difficult for you to navigate?

Sweet boys has free pinball always.

Yeah, I immediately thought of my two prior experiences with general anesthesia (the aftermath was not good - I was vomiting and extremely out of it for at least a full day) and was thinking why would anyone want to feel like that for something that is over so quickly. Sorry again for my assumptions.

Wow, I'm sorry that it was that painful for you! I never realized it would be like that for some people. I guess I'm just lucky that it didn't feel like anything more than severe cramps. I suppose the first thing you should do is check if your insurance covers general anesthesia. It might be cost prohibitive otherwise.

Why do you want to be put under for a procedure that takes all of 10 minutes? I was directed by my doctor to take a heavy dose of Ibuprofen 2 hours beforehand (I'm talking 800mg), and take the rest of the day off of work to deal with any cramping and discomfort afterwards. I can't think of any reason why getting an iud would require the risks of going under general anesthesia. If you're simply anxious about the procedure your doctor may be able to prescribe Xanax or something similar to take beforehand. Edit: I made some pretty awful assumptions, and I apologize.

If you're with Cox, I like Dr. Laura Isaacson, but she must have a large patient load because you might have to wait for a month or more for an appointment.

Yup, I forgot to see what voter number I was, but at just after 7am, I had to wait in line for a couple minutes because all of the booths were full. Normally I'm the only one there.

I have a friend that works for Progressive and she said pretty much everyone is going to see an increase in their premiums because the cost of repair/replacement has gone up significantly. $200 seems like an excessive amount though, so you should shop around for a better rate.

Please don't write in any name unless you know the person has been running a "write in" campaign. I have been an election judge in the past, and the number of ballots with write in names (especially joke names such as Santa) was infuriating. It made a long day much longer since we have to manually tabulate every write in vote.

It's better just to leave it blank if you don't want to vote for anyone that is on the ballot.

The public library system in Springfield/Greene county is absolutely spectacular! There are so many locations, great free programs, amazing amount of materials to check out, and a fantastic book sale twice a year. It's such a weird dichotomy to the anti-intellect vibe that much of Springfield gives off, and I'm certainly happy that the library seems to always have patrons. Edit: spelling

Interesting. I suppose that would make sense since it seems like they continue to expand the distillery part of their business.

According to their event calendar there are concerts throughout the month. Where did you hear they were ending performances?

Yup, hopefully moving back closer to family (Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota). I can't wait to be closer to friends and family again. This last year and a half has felt very lonely.

Yeah Cox Health is a joke, I have never had such difficulty in scheduling appointments anywhere else I've lived in the recent past. I don't know if they had become short staffed during the pandemic and just haven't recovered, but their lack of communication with patients (walk in clinics included) is infuriating.

I have had the best luck by establishing care with a provider that allows online booking for your initial appointment. After that you can send them a message through the patient portal and they can schedule appointments without you having to call.

In the past I've also tried to call and had to leave messages with no response. It's infuriating, but knowing they recently moved office locations I would give them a bit more patience.

Yup, I've requested an invitation on both the console and the bundle edition. Hoping to find one soon!
