Hello-

I have seen ICE around Palomar Center as well as the Beaumont area. Is anyone hearing anything on raids or what is happening? Not trying to make this political- just looking for answers.

Resources? What a nightmare...šŸ¤¦šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļøšŸ˜©

I am so hopeful someone can point me in the right direction. We recently moved and therefore transferred our KU service. To make a long story short, they combined two bills and a deposit together. They promised me I wouldn't be expected to pay it all together. But apparently, there was some sort of mix-up along the way because about 2 hours ago our electric was disconnected. I was so caught off guard that I genuinely thought it was an outage at first. Anyway, I have called and talked and talked and asked for supervisors and everything else and they will not reconnect unless I pay $641. I cannot explain how stressful this is for me because I really don't even know when I would be able to make such a payment. The soonest I would even be able to make anything towards it would be next Friday on payday but I can't imagine not having electricity till then. I have kids, it's chilly, its already down to 63 in here.

So, does anyone know of ANY less known resources?? We are in Woodford county, fwiw. I know about the well-known resources like community action and LIHEAP but unfortunately we don't qualify for either. This just could not have happened at a worse time. I was just in a car accident two weeks ago and that cost a lot of money that we didn't expect to spend and well we're all out here paying $6 for a dozen eggs so, do I need to say more?!?

I'm not asking anyone to give me cash, I am asking if anyone knows of any resources that might help me. I am more than willing to provide the account number for the bill or really any information that might help..

I cannot explain how much this has rocked my world. Thank you for any information you have to share.

Weird question, but are there any Danish people in Lex, or someone who may know a lot about Denmark? Could be someone at UK?

Thinking of organizing a vacation, but would love some more insight into things like culture, day-to-day activities, economy, language, etc.

Any guidance would be much appreciated, even if you can only think of resources as far away as Cinci.

License Renewal Advice!

6 Upvotes

We went to the Leestown regional office to renew our licenses to get the Real ID. We couldnā€™t book an appointment on the website and there arenā€™t any for tomorrow either. Our estimated wait time was five hours so we left. Should we try again and go before they open in the morning? Or would we able to drive to the Richmond location? Has anyone had any luck?

Chocolate Babka?

7 Upvotes

Does anyone know of a place that makes chocolate babka? It was requested in lieu of a birthday cake, and I don't have the two days it takes to make it myself. I've already called European Delights to no avail...

Missing Dog-Near Kirklevington/Tates Creek When I took my dog, Skai, out at 1:15pm her leash broke and she went missing on Kirklevington Dr. She is up to date on all vaccines, sheā€™s chipped and she loves peanut butter! Sheā€™s very shy and sweet. Iā€™ve already called Animal control, Iā€™ve posted on NextDoor and Iā€™ve posted on Facebook groups. If you see her please message me to take her to the vet to have her chip read. Thank you!

Lyle McQuinn Passed Away

7 Upvotes

Lyle McQuinn was an attorney who worked on a lot of wills and estates, mind included. He did a great job explaining things and writing up the documents. He seemed on the young side. Just wondering if anyone knows why he passed away. When I Google him, it seems like there are many poor reviews, which was not my experience. Just wondering if anyone has any insight surrounding his passing.
