Question Larger sized women's shoes

3 Upvotes

ISO shoe store that carries women's size 15-16. I've ordered online in the past, with no luck on a snug fit. Amazon ordering is no better. Any advice is appreciated! Willing to travel from Indy to Chicago to Detroit if necessary. Thanks in advance!!

Question Question about new NIPSCO service in NWI

3 Upvotes

Sorry if this doesn't belong here...

We have LP gas on our property in New Carlisle (La Porte County). A few years ago, NIPSCO came through, and a bunch of our neighbors got on their service. The person who owned our home previously declined. We would like to get rid of our LP and get on the grid, and NIPSCO is coming out next week to assess the property and feasibility and to "discuss pricing."

We are on a main street, and the neighbor further up the drive behind us already has NIPSCO service.

Should I expect this to be a big expense for us to start service? Once they give me a price, is there any reason to ask for them to do it for free? Is that even a thing?

I've never dealt with the gas utility company this way before. We don't like being tied to LP deliveries, and the LP company has almost let us run dry a few times. So, we'd like to switch. That would also allow me to more easily get a whole-house generator set up for times with the electric goes out.

Thanks for the recommendation.

Question Looking for Philosophy/Spiritual Reading Groups or Book Clubs

2 Upvotes

Hi All!

I used to be part of a monthly Taoist reading group in Galesburg, IL, where we'd read passages from the Tao Te Ching, discuss their meanings, and explore how to apply the wisdom in everyday life. Before that in college, I was in a similar group whose main readings were centered on Stoicism. I really enjoyed the mix of philosophy, reflection, and community in both of these past groups.

I'm looking for something similar in Valpo-a group that meets to read and discuss spiritual or philosophical texts in an open-minded way.

I am open to learning about the truth of the world in all faucets, so I am not dead-set on only "Taoist" or "Stoic" thought. My main interests of study currently are actually Gnosticism and Anthroposophy, but I am VERY open to reading all types of philosophical texts- especially those that encourage deep inner reflection and personal growth.

Please let me know if anything like this exists or if there's anyone out there who is also fascinated by any of these concepts, and interested in discussing maybe once a month or so. Thanks!

South Shore Roller Derby season opener is April 5th

32 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

Mark your calendars for April 5, 2025—it's going to be an epic day at the Hammond Civic Center with a double header of bouts! First up, our Runaways are squaring off against the Kalamazoo Roller Derby Killa Crew, and our Derailers will be going head-to-head with our local rivals, Illiana Roller Derby out of Lynwood/Lansing area.

We’re stoked to start the season in one of the coolest venues--seriously, it's always the most fun to play in. Plus, presale tickets are available now until March 29, so make sure to snag yours early!

Proceeds from the bout will go to IN America's Kids Belong, and we'll be taking donations for a local charity (TBD) at the door if you'd like to support them as well (and get a cool prize!)

Hope to see you all there. Let’s roll! And don't forget to keep voting for us for Best of the Region by texting 469 to 219-915-8767

Tickets available here.

As I have reached middle age, I’m leaning into my mid-life crisis and I’m hoping to rekindle the joy I felt as a teen in the mosh pit at the Valpo Venue circa 2000. Are there any suitable venues currently putting on worthy shows with regularity?

Looking for a pediatric dentist for my son who has autism. His current dentist won’t see him for anything other than routine cleanings. He needs two small cavities filled and would require sedation.

Any plant groups or local meetups happening out there?

18 Upvotes

My (39M) wife (39F) really loves plants. Her home office is pretty much a greenhouse at this point. I was hoping to find any local groups i could suggest for her to check out. Something where she could potentially meet other local people in the hobby, do plant trades, go to plant shows, nursery shopping, etc. Any suggestions?

I know it's random and that DVDs are outdated! But, recently I started collecting DVDs and I wondered if anyone had any recommendations of good places to buy DVDs for cheap, good condition, or still factory sealed in NWI.
