My kid is in preschool run by MPRB and it is wonderful!! Ms Jenny and her staff are amazing. It’s affordable too! But not enough daily hours to be full time care for most families, which is a shame.

What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?

Earlier this summer the IRS signaled that the tax opener would be delayed this year, likely until mid-February. With this, how much later will the opener be? March? Later?

The IRS on Wednesday said that it was furloughing nearly half of its workforce due to the ongoing government shutdown.

I was wearing headphones!!!

And the reason I was having the meeting in the room instead of my cube was so others couldn't hear. But I guess some could hear regardless. Its such bad design.

In a conference room where I can hear every word of the people in the room next to me as if they were here. I think the architecture of the room is amplifying their voices. I assume they can hear everything I'm saying, so I hope they liked that weird little conversation I just had.

I'm a neighbor against this new license. To be clear, the neighbors are not against a reasonable bar in the new location. We are against that asshole getting a 7am-2am full liquor license. A different owner asking for a 10a-midnight license would be embraced by most of the neighbors.

I'll take 10 the day before! We are just so scared no one will show up. Our own childhood traumas coming through as fears for our kid.

Talking to co-worker about my hip bursitis. She also had hip bursitis that stopped within weeks of starting HRT. Which is bananapants. Perimenopause, in of itself, is bananapants- anything and everything can be perimenopause. I want off this ride.

It is a little sad, but not overwhelmingly so.

I know a lot of people here like the Cedar Inn. And I did too before the new owners and the 2am close time. But the new owner hates the neighborhood and local residents, breaks laws, has a business model based on overserving people, lies, and bullies other business owners. People are afraid of him

I really wanted to go to a joint meeting between the Cedar Inn and the concerned residents (me included) who are trying to put limitations on their new liquor license that the city is hosting tonight. But its at 5:00 and without childcare so its impossible for me to participate.

My kid’s favorite shows are Bluey and old school Pink Panther cartoons.

50th and 34th remains my favorite corner of the city. Just stopped in to say hi to my husband working at Town Hall Lanes, got socks (currently on sale) and a shacket at Nokomis shoe, and an iced chaider at Crema Coffee.
