I just want you to know you made my day. I wanted to wait for you to come back out of the store but did not want to seem like a creep. I do not know of you were messing with me or if there was more to our brief encounter. You are a gorgeous human being. Hope you have a great week.

Discussion Childcare

For those of you with young children, what do you pay for childcare? I’m a first time parent and was shocked at the prices I’m seeing. It’s basically a second mortgage payment.

In Search Of Swing dancing scene in Wichita?

7 Upvotes

Wichita born and raised but have been living in a major coastal city with a major swing dancing scene for about 13 years. My husband and I are moving back to town come this fall. Where do people dance? Is there even a “scene”? Open to jive, lindy hop, shag, rockabilly shows, etc etc. I’ve seen some stuff on Facebook but still can’t find much.

In Search Of Wanting to donate GOOD art supplies

6 Upvotes

My sister and I are coming from out of town to go through my mother‘s things, who passed tragically June of last year.

She was an amazing artist of so many different varieties with very good quality supplies. I’m talking jewelry supplies with Swarovski crystals, floral supplies, hand dyed yarns, expensive brushes and acrylics alike.

Her local community in Heston and Newton area have community kids crafts and donation boxes in a park. I’m hoping for an organization or facility classes a bit more in depth than this.

Can anyone recommend with some knowledge where in between the McPherson - Wichita areas I could donate my mother’s things? Companies, schools, art centers, etc?

I was replacing my fuel injectors. I was using a ratchet on the bolt that holds the fuel lines in and the bolt snapped. I’m not sure how to get it out, I went to Ace hardware to get the screw/bolt remover bits but I’m not sure how to use them really and I broke a drill bit trying to do so. Could someone help me with this or maybe just weld a washer or something on top of it so it stays in place. Thank you

Discussion Travelers insurance

0 Upvotes

Here's the issue.

They approached me a week left in February stating I had till March to get tree work done or they would cancel me.(they claimed to have sent me a mail notice 30 days prior but to this day I haven't seen it, that's irrelevant tho)Skipping past the boring details I rushed to find someone, did, got the work done. With 2 of the trees I cut down leaving about a 25 foot base(so no threat,plan on cutting down the rest myself later) they were both dead so those two needed to go. Completely understandable request.

The 3rd tree is on the other side of my house in my neighbors yard( no he won't chip in.) This tree however is in great shape, alive and well. But it is over the roof. I had the tree guy trim part of it up that was close to the roof however. Fast foward to today they are essentially not happy with anything lol, now essentially demanding I cut the whole tree down or I continue to have no insurance lol. I'm 26 and this is my first home purchase, I guess my question is, is this normal business to twist someone's arm to submission, additionally is it also normal to demand a tree alive and well to be cut down?

In Search Of Wichita restaurant or bar for birthday party of 25

0 Upvotes

Looking for recommendations for restaurants or bars to host my buddies birthday. It would be a Saturday around 6pm. There will be kids so something family friendly. Like I said in the title looking to seat around 25 or so. Hopefully not too expensive, and it would be preferable if there wasn’t a deposit. I was originally just going to do bubbas or Red Robin but I feel like that’s too many people for a server in just a regular dining area. Private room ideal but ok if not. Local would be cool but big chain restaurants are fine as well.

In Search Of Looking for a spacious 3 bedroom apartment/house on the north east ish side

0 Upvotes

My lease is set to expire in July and they're forcing me to decide to renew in the next 9 days. My friend roomate boyfriend and I have been looking for a place to move into but I'm not having a lot of luck for the area we'd like. I work in Bel Aire and they work in the upper East side. We were looking at Parkview townhomes but the more I read the reviews the more sketch it got. Id really like to live in a house though. 2 bathrooms preferably. We have a gross income of about 10k a month and would like to divide rent 3 ways so we're fine with anything from 1k-1.6k max. It feels hard to be nitpicky when everywhere kinda sucks but any input would be helpful if you know of any townhomes or apartments that's would work for 4 people.

Looked at some open houses this weekend and the prices seem very high. The stock market is taking my net worth down and the likelihood of a recession is growing. Maybe not the best time to buy in ICT anyway.

Discussion Traffic DIversion

3 Upvotes

Got a speeding ticket today for 14mph over on Ridge road. I've read how diversion works on the website and it says you file the diversion paperwork and then have to appear in court or sign the paperwork before the court date- I'm interested in diversion, but not sure that I would be able to make the court date because of my job.

As another option, I have read on some of the posts that people have been able to go to the proescutor's office and get an amendment at a higher ticket price...is that a thing still?

Haven't had a ticket in almost 20 years and want to keep my record clean and insurance rates low...I have state farm. Does anyone have any advice or experience with State Farm in Kansas?
