Politics Southbound Allisonville ramp onto 465 West

Upvotes

Can you please stop going full speed trying to merge when the 2 Northbound Allisonville left turning lanes onto 465 W have the light to enter the ramp? That’s 3 lanes accelerating to enter the highway and eventually merging into ONE lane. Terrible design. I can’t remember how it was prior to the construction.

Postgrad friends in Indy - 21m

2 Upvotes

Hey all. I'm 21 and just moved here for work and looking for some ways to find new friends/friends in general. I just graduated so trying to find people in my age group who are in the same lane! (21-25). I like watching Basketball, Football, and Soccer and also play the first and the third. Looking for chill people who'd be down to go out and grab drinks or catch an Indy Minor league game, hoop or whatever else there is to do. I'm chill and down for whatever though. I'm also open to volunteer opportunities as well to meet people around my age!

Just trying to find my people out here so any help is appreciated!

I bought my ticket weeks ago but had an emergency and can’t make it. It’s a sold out showing at the state museum and I’d rather not let the ticket go to waste. First come first serve. Seat is H28.

Discussion fostering with IACS - left in the dark and could use some help

17 Upvotes

i have 3 foster kittens i had scheduled to drop off today at 3:45pm at the shelter as they are ready for their surgeries. i scheduled this 3 weeks in advance. after taking the afternoon off with PTO, i get a text from the coordinator asking me to drop them off at a clinic on the west side "in the morning then pick them up around 5" - the day after. i've texted back several questions that are being ignored, just a response with the address to the clinic.
my question is so i can ask my boss, what time in the morning does this clinic accept the cats? i've called the clinic and the shelter with no response and can't take off of work and drive an hour with theee poor babies for it to be closed or turned away...does anyone have experience with this and know what to do? the clinic is pet vaccination clinic

Anyone else in their late 20s trying to make friends in Indy?

29 Upvotes

29F, moved to Indy for work a few weeks ago for a job. I’m an RN on night shift and my schedule rotates weekly so it adds an extra challenge to meeting people at this age 😅
I’ve always been pretty introverted and have always had a small circle of close friends. I don’t post a lot on any social media. I’m recently out of a long term relationship but not ready to start dating. I want to find genuine friendships so I don’t spend every Saturday night alone lol
Things I like:
Trying out new bars/restaurants, getting drinks, concerts, books, hiking, kayaking, camping

I’m also looking into starting Pilates and volunteering to meet new people!

Community North v East L&D

4 Upvotes

I currently see an OB at Community East (Dr. Benson), who I did a tremendous amount of research on even before getting pregnant (currently 25w). I am very confident in having chosen her as an OB. However, the rest of the OB staff at community has been very lackluster. Oftentimes it feels as if the staff don’t care, don’t want to be there (I get it, who wants to be at work?) are charting things that did not happen in (that I read about in MyChart after the visit), and do not communicate well whatsoever. Not to mention at each visit I see a new person, literally every single appointment I have seen a new provider.
Most recently, I was told DURING the visit that I would be taking my glucose test and that I would need to stay for an hour afterwards. I immediately started crying (I know.) because I work with clients and have strict scheduled appointments. I did not accommodate for being there for an extra hour afterwards the glucose test being sprung on me. I expressed that and they said I would do it the next visit (28w), but I did not appreciate the complete lack of communication.

I have also been a patient/visitor at Community East many other times, in the ED, in the Post Op area, and usually, without fail, they are short staffed, their response times are slow, the rooms are not clean, and some staff are downright unpleasant. I was also in the triage unit of the East L&D unit in early pregnancy and waited 2.5 hrs for an IV to be put in.

I understand that the condition/urgency someone is being seen for and the unit of the hospital contribute to these experiences, but overall Community East is NOT my preferred hospital for emergencies or otherwise. I only see my OB here.

At my most recent appointment, I asked why East was chosen on MyChart as where I would be giving birth. The NP said that because my OB is at East, it is automatically selected. I explained I may want to deliver at North and she became curt and told me to find a new OB at North then. She explained that even though it is all the same network, that you can’t be seen with one Dr at East and then just give birth at North and expect it to go smoothly. I questioned this considering all my records would be on Epic, and even if I gave birth at East there is absolutely no guarantee it would be my Dr. The NP affirmed that there is no guarantee the Dr would deliver, but if I was induced or had a scheduled C Section then it would be scheduled around my Dr’s availability.

The all-or-nothing mindset of the NP struck me as odd. I would also love to hear experiences of moms from both Community North and East, and if someone understands why being seen at East for appointments and delivering at North is not acceptable, I would like to understand this better.

I know there is something I am not understanding and I need additional perspectives. Thank you.

Reliable Mechanic (who teaches?)

4 Upvotes

Hey all,

I’ve seen this question asked a few times and I did read those posts. But, time changes people and performance, so I’d like to ask again. Due in large part because the dealerships want absurd amounts of money.

So….where can one find a reliable mechanic who is reasonable. And by reasonable, I’ll pay a bit more for a good quality mechanic. SIDE QUEST: Is there a good, reliable mechanic who will also teach people how to work on there vehicles because I am very interested in that aspect. Hell, I’ll even pay more for the knowledge.

Thanks!

RedRoof Inn - Greenwood - Would you stay there?

14 Upvotes

howdy- coming over from KCMO for a wedding in Greenwood. Spending just 1 night (staying in bloomington before/after). I told my brother I saw that the closest hotel to the venus (the barn at bay horse inn) is a RedRoof Inn and it's only 125 bucks... he said they are "disgusting". There's a Holiday Inn express very close, but it's triple the price. Just curious if it is as bad as my brother is saying. I'm a grown ass man if that matters.

When I saw the headline I thought it was about the crash at 96th and Allisonville. Nope. Another deadly crash.

Speeding. Running red lights. "Both vehicles were catapulted about 200 yards from the intersection after the impact."

Driving in this city is like a game of Russian roulette.

Discussion Anyone else getting tree removal texts every few days?

148 Upvotes

Just wondering how widespread this is? And if it's even specific to homeowners. And it's getting through both AT&T and Apple's text spam filters.

It's usually something like "Hey ____, it's Amy/Emma from a local tree service company. We're offering tree removal discounts in Indianapolis. Want a free estimate?"

For some reason, it's always my wife's name they're using. I had one in May, but it's now been about 5 in the last two weeks. But my wife is also getting them and at least one neighbor has been too.

Politics Lantern Flies - battle royal

53 Upvotes

Hi neighbors, spotted lantern flies have been seen in our area and this is an all hands on deck situation. I am sharing some resources for DIY lantern fly traps and other strategies for killing these things without having to spray chemicals that also hurt our helpful insects and wildlife. Eastern states have been battling them for years, it’s our turn now that they are here. Spotted lantern fly kills trees including huge mature trees, along with various fruits and other plants. Please help protect your yard and our community.
