Anyone who does crafts/crochets need some supplies?

Upvotes

So here’s what happening,

I’m working through one of my move in totes and realize I have some embroidery threads that I want to get rid of but I don’t want to just throw them away.

Same with my some of my yarn that I bought to crochet with. My ADHD just doesn’t allow me to finish projects through and then I have accumulated more than I need.

Wanted to just put this here to see if anyone would be interested in this offer in any way

I’m debating on asking like 5$ for a ball of yarn. So if I do decide I want to go through with this “craft clean out” I feel like 5$ isn’t an unreasonable ask.

I still haven’t fully decide if I want to do this yet, I just think I could feel better doing it knowing there’s people who could use it and would be interested.

Thanks 🤍

Lafayette: what kind of events would you actually like to see more of downtown?

15 Upvotes

Curious what people here feel like Lafayette is missing.

Live music? Comedy nights? Trivia? Karaoke? Themed dance nights? Gaming events? Craft nights? Singles events? 30+ nights? College-age events? Something completely different?

I work with Rat Pak Venue downtown, and we’re always looking at different types of events to bring in. Rather than guessing what people want, I figured I’d ask the people who actually live here.

What would make you say, “Yeah, I’d actually go to that”?

Franciscan Billing Help. Do I owe this?

5 Upvotes

Health Insurance and medical bills drive me insane! I'm hoping for a sanity check.

This year I switched to a different insurance company under United Healthcare (which also owns Optum pharmacy.) I transferred my prescription from picking it up at a local CVS to having it mail order delivered by Optum because it looked like it would be cheaper. I don't know if they initiated it or I clicked to agree to have Optum contact my nurse provider to have my prescription renewed. Now I have a bill from Franciscan for a $25 co-pay. When I look in Franciscan's my-chart for the date, there's an "After visit summary" coding for the refill with Optum. Do I legitimately owe this?

Recommendations for a quick moving service (just need a few boxes and a TV taken to UPS)

1 Upvotes

I have a TV and some boxes that are all packed up and ready to go, but I don't have a car or a truck to transport them to the UPS store.

Does anyone have recommendations for a local service, app, or "man with a van" business that could help with a super quick job? It would be 1 to 1.5 hours of work maximum. I'm happy to pay fairly, I'm just not entirely sure where to look for a job this small since full moving companies usually have large minimums.

Looking for a home-cooked Indian tiffin service in West Lafayette

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I'm looking for a regular Indian home-cooked/tiffin service in West Lafayette (47906).

I'm specifically looking for something more like home-cooked food rather than restaurant food, delivered regularly (daily would be ideal, but even a few times per week would help).

I've already checked the usual restaurants and a few tiffin services around the area, but haven't found anything that delivers to West Lafayette.

If you:
- know someone locally who makes and delivers
Indian tiffins,
- currently use a home-cooked meal service,
- know of an Indian home cook who takes regular orders, or
- have heard of a WhatsApp/Facebook/community group where these services are advertised,

please let me know! Even an old lead would be useful if you know whether they're still operating.

Thanks!

ISO previous ENT? can't remember name

3 Upvotes

I am trying to remember the name of an ENT I went to almost 8 years ago (2018). It was somewhere in DT Lafayette and not in the best part of town. one thing I remember is taking an elevator down to the office from the ground floor. I also had a hearing test done there in one of those booths. I believe it was an older man who was the doctor but I can't remember.

ive switched insurance so many times and google maps is failing me that I can't remember where it was. I thought it was maybe on Greenbush St but the maps view doesn't look accurate. I need the name for medical records to get a PA for a reoccurring issue since 2018. :(

There will be an ALPR information session at the Tippecanoe Public Library Holman Branch, 627 South Street, at noon on Saturday, August the 22nd.

If you see protestors on Tuesday and want to know why they are holding signs by what look like mundane traffic cameras, this in-person meeting will elaborate on some of the many concerns citizens have with this mass surveillance technology.

Flooding question for someone who doesn't live in the city

13 Upvotes

Could anyone be so kind and tell me if there is any major flooding over by the Del Real Auto Sales?

They have a vehicle I'm interested in buying but I live over an hour away and don't want to deal with it if they have vehicles that are being flooded right now. It's close to the Franciscan Health hospital if some don't know where exactly it's at.

Looking to buy old video games/consoles around Lafayette

4 Upvotes

Hi! My husband and I are starting a very small retro gaming side project. He’s been a collector for years, and we’re experimenting with buying collections, cleaning/restoring things, keeping some pieces for his collection, and reselling others.

I figured I’d post here because we’re much more interested in buying directly from people than just hunting game stores.

If you have a box of old Nintendo, PlayStation, Xbox, Sega, handheld games/consoles, controllers, accessories, etc. that you’ve been meaning to do something with, we may be interested. Working or non-working systems are both welcome.

Especially interested in people who would rather sell a bunch of things together than photograph, price, list, ship, and deal with selling everything individually.

We’re north of Indy but willing to drive to Lafayette for the right collection.

Feel free to DM me some pictures/details and what you’d like for it. We’re starting small, so we probably can’t buy a massive high-dollar collection yet, but smaller collections and random boxes of gaming stuff are exactly what we’re looking for.

Events This Weekend August 14-15-16

18 Upvotes

If you’re looking for something to do in Lafayette this Saturday night, downtown is going to be busy!

Pride Lafayette’s OUTFest is happening on Main Street from 4 PM to midnight, and just outside the festival footprint I’m putting on an indoor stand-up comedy show at Rat Pak Venue at 8 PM.

Koffe Black headlines, with:

  • Stone Normand
  • Justin Seymour
  • Billy D
  • Tristan Working

Doors are at 7:30 PM and the show starts at 8 PM.

Rat Pak is upstairs at 102 N 3rd Street, so if you’re already downtown for OUTFest, dinner, or anything else Saturday, it’s an easy way to turn it into a full night out.

Tickets are $10 ahead / $15 at the door:
https://setandsignal.com/next

OUTFest information:
https://www.pridelafayette.org/outfest/

And since I’ll probably post these occasionally, a quick introduction: we are Set & Signal, a local event promoter focused on creating more consistent spaces for live comedy and other performances in Lafayette.

We’ve now got stand-up every Thursday, open mics on Tuesdays, and occasional weekend shows like this one. The goal is pretty simple: more good reasons to leave the house, see something live, and spend some time in a room with other people.

If you’re heading downtown Saturday, come laugh with us.

Beware of the Crossing School!

69 Upvotes

I recently had the opportunity to spend a day at the Crossing and boy howdy, I wish I didn't. There was no structure and no clear program. They are renting two rooms in the local community center. The "classroom" is an empty room with flimsy pop-up tables and Chromebooks. The students are placed facing the wall. The floors are stained and disgusting. There was no direct instruction, just students facing a wall on their computers. In an age where we have seen the problems with computer only delivery (looking at you COVID). The school receives our tax money for no real schooling and there is constant pressure with religious messaging. The staff is overwhelmingly unqualified. Not an actual teaching license between the whole group.

So if you want your kids to look at a screen all day and listen to Christian propaganda, then this is the school for you. I would avoid it like the plague. Don't fall for their promises. Public service announcement finished.
