40 minute wait, way overpriced food, my spouse and I almost died in the heat(thankfully we bought a wheelchair and took turns).

My spouse saw the labor day sale and went rogue.

We have now banned valas and all future outing require both of our approval.

For those of you going to Vala’s today or any other time in the next 60 days. Don’t block the fucking intersections. Pulling into the intersection and blocking cross traffic is not getting you into or out of Vala’s any faster. If anything it creates more delays and accident potential. Your time isn’t any more or less valuable than anyone else’s. Wait your turn at the intersection and don’t run the light.

This sucks 👎

Sorry about the Backrooms-quality photo

Any young quilters or people who craft sew? I’m a young woman of color who likes to sew but is somewhat new to quilting but everytime I strike up conversations with veteran quilters at the fabric stores I’m invited to quilting clubs then immediately told I need to invest in way more expensive tools, why everything I’m doing is wrong down to my fabric colors, and questioned how I “could’ve possibly gotten into sewing.” Would love to meet some young people/ people of color in the hobby!

Has anyone in Omaha looked into developing a tiny home community here? Would anyone be interested? My husband and I really love the idea of living small/financial independence, but would like to also be in a community. I’ve seen other communities around the country with things like dog parks, fire pits, gardens, trails, and even as fancy as fitness studios, co-working spaces, and libraries. I think something like this would be amazing in the Omaha area and I know there must be other like-minded individuals who are wanting something simpler.

Does anyone know what the signs at 42nd and Center are saying? All I'm catching is "42nd and Center is our community We don't need another _______"

Thanks!

I found this old camera that looks brand new. A 1937-38 Argus model AF….and found a. 20 exposure fill of Kodachrome film inside. I’m looking for a way to develop or see if any of these photos can be developed. Hoping they’re not all ruined and would love to see what’s salvageable.. the history buff in me is chomping at the bit to see if we have some photos here and from when. Any suggestions?

Hello,

Over the weekend I removed some wood paneling in a bedroom. The room and ceiling has Zonolite insulation and I read online that this brand is known for asbestos. Are there any insulation removal companies that can do the removal ASAP?

The insulation was disturbed so I’m sure we’ve been breathing asbestos throughout the weekend. (I was unaware of Zonolite being known for asbestos until literally right now). I’ve called a few but because of the holiday there have been no answer or they are booked out.

Would appreciate any help or advice I can get!

Have been trying to sell my old house but currently having no bites.

History on the last few months:

Had a buyer put it under contract on the second day of it being for sale. After a month and a half they backed out. Was suggested by inspection people to get a piping situation fixed (although it was not broken). Had to take the house off the market for a month. Once it was back on the market, school had started.

Original price was $285. After pipe fixes it went back up at $279. No movement after a week dropped it to $270. In the last 3 years the house has gotten a new roof, ac, heater, water heater, and now underground piping.

Is there no movement because my realtor is not making moves? Is the cost too high? What am I missing?

Lines of cars from West Maple and 180th, west of Costco. No idea what the attraction is. Any ideas?

ABLE-1 began circling over the 156th & W Maple just now and shortly after 10+ patrol cars between DCSO and OPD came absolutely flying down 156th before turning onto W Maple. Must've been only a few streets up because ABLE-1 started a super tight circle and dropped some altitude.

Hi, I really don't know how to word this post but i thought l'd try this: I'm pretty new to magic and have fallen in love with commander, and I'm just looking for friends to play with me. I have mostly precons and usually stay in the bracket 1-2 range and I'm free most nights after work if anyone is interested or has an open spot in their pod.

What’s everyone Labor Day plans today?

I'm in Omaha at Lewis and Clark park and there is an airplane flying over with a sign being towed behind, but I can't read it. My son said that it says "Boycott..(something" but I can't read it. What are we boycotting?

If you have never stood under a big snow goose migration, it is hard to describe. DeSoto National Wildlife Refuge, on the Missouri River about half an hour north of Omaha, is one of the places it happens. Through late fall the geese stack up by the tens and even hundreds of thousands, resting on the water and feeding in the corn stubble before pushing south. When something spooks a flock the whole thing lifts at once, a white blizzard against the sky and a roar you feel in your chest.

There is a twist to the story. Snow geese were once in trouble, and now there are almost too many of them. Cheap waste grain on the wintering grounds let the population explode, to the point that the birds are chewing up their own Arctic breeding tundra. The clouds over Nebraska are a conservation success that overshot.

This map is those birds along the Missouri corridor. Keep an eye out for the dark ones mixed in, the "Blue Goose," which is the same species in a different coat. Peak numbers hit around late November, and Loess Bluffs a couple hours south can top a million birds.

Some clips from that food goatee guy about some Omaha joints.

Have any of you ever called that area "law and order"? lmao.

I'm getting the jump on decorating. Anybody know where I can buy pumpkins yet? There are a few at Hy Vee but just the basic variety. The farm stands don't seem to have them out yet...

In HarvyOkes what’s going on? Tons of cops and helicopters.

Still was smoking this morning…

Looking for an apartment 1BR in the Omaha area around downtown. Originally from a small city so I’m not sure how to tell which apartments are better/worse. What are some of the best apartments in the area that aren’t crazy expensive?

Does anyone have any recommended places for windshield replacement?

Looking for local Facebook pages for Bellevue, Papillion and Omaha, specifically ones that advertise local community events!
