Life is good, work is done and not even 11. Should have brought a light long sleeved shirt along it was almost cool.

Rode my bike past JTS and went south past the performance center noticed the tunnel was open. Wanted so bad to take a lap around the field….. Figured that as soon as I did I would be face down on the turf by ISU security.

Crazy windy again today with frequents gusts to 35 mph. Boo that. Sort fo kills the biking or birdabouting. Maybe some yardwork is in order.

Got an estimate to extend a cedar fence the same company had built five years or so ago. Just add a five foot panel to cover where the damn deer ate up three arborvitae. $1300. Yikes. Exploring other options. Maybe build a freestanding decorative panel myself using one of these 3x6 panels.

I'm guessing they would have just asked you to leave.
 
In some places probably, in others it might just be unfeasible due to cost, the daycare is full, live far from family (who might be able to care for the child), don't trust the family to take care of the child, etc.

My take is just that most parents understand having a crying or whining baby/toddler/young child during a meeting is not ideal and is distracting. So if they had a better realistic option they would use it. That's not always going to be the case, but I think generally that is true.

Anyone I know who's had kids the last several years has said it's terribly expensive.
 
Reranking sausage egg cheese croissants 1. Kum & Go like the egg part fold them like a omelet. 2. Kwik Star used to be 1 but K&Gs's is the superior product. 3. Casey's a strong contender for 2nd but the croissant is a little too big too high of bread to ingredient ratio IMO.

Kwikstar would win the environmental award, just wrapped in paper way less packaging than the other 2.

Kum and Go pumps big money to that college in the east.

Yeah but right now their gas has been the cheapest in C.L. for 2 weeks straight now. The 89cent medium fountain at Casey's is a good deal though.

After a camping trip Kwik Trip breakfast sandwiches hit the spot.
 
The founder of Kum & Go was a cheerleader at Iowa. I read it on the internet so it’s a true fact.
You saying the Krause family that has their name all over stuff at Iowa is a different Krause family that owns convenience stores? Popular convenience store last name I guess.
 
I’m convinced my current employer is trying to get people to leave so they don’t eventually have to lay off as many people.

That’s the one that makes the most sense anyway.

I did them. I was allergic to everything too. Serum was split up between 3 different shots each round. Would knock me on my *** the rest of the day after the shot but it was worth it. Now I take an occasional Zyrtec when pollen count is really high but other than that, I haven't had much of an issue.

My son tried that route when he was in his mid 20s. He ended up having a severe reaction to the second or third shot that put him in the emergency room, and decided it wasn't for him. He lives on Clariton in the spring.

I got shots from when I was 6 or 7 until my mid 20s. Never had any problems with them and they did help.
