Look, the clear and safe answer here is to arm all kids teachers.

FTFY

It is HOCO. It will all be brushed under the table.

I know Sandy Spring Bank has some pretty good options for that, and I can personally vouch for them being pretty good.

APL FCU is great in my opinion

Credit unions are generally better due to no banking fees. Their drawback is they typically don't have nation wide locations and their apps tend to be less user friendly.

If you have a family member in the military or was in the military (like even aunt or uncle), the navy credit union has no fees, is established nationwide and their apps are pretty good.

In this climate, you might want to put a /s after that comment before someone reads this and thinks "that's a great idea"...

Whats scary is that despite this and every active situation, NOTHING EVER FUCKING CHANGES. God forbid we take real steps to protect our children. Instead the fucking talking heads just want SROs...like a gourp of bitch ass cops in Uvalde weren't too fucking scared to go into an active situation. A single fucking SRO isn't going to do shit.

May God literally damn the fucking gun lobby and every asshole that supports it.

Such scary times we live in 😢

Appears to be cleared and they are moving students but reported as "not in any danger" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DP6ur0wpMVE

WBFF just posted that a threat was made against the schedule and that police are gathering information now. It does not appear to be an active situation.

I have heard from a few teachers inside and they don't have much info either.

Most people are going to tell you to stick with a local credit union, but if you do want a bank I’ve had a good experience with capital one and they have a teen account

Absolutely!

Doesn’t sound like we have a ton in common, and I’m early 20s so we probably wouldn’t be great friends, BUT I totally recommend checking out Great Sage if you haven’t already, they’re fully vegan and the staff and crowd there are so nice! Might be a good place to get to know like minded people.

Awesome, can I PM you?

Welcome! Husband and I are in our early 40s, happy to share plants from the garden, enjoy board games, and I walk many miles with the dog. We like to take a board game to Black Flag and play over beer if you ever want to join us.

I second the recommendation to visit Vertical Connection. They are a second generation family owned local business with a great reputation. They did our hardwood floors and we’ve been pleased with the quality of the product and the installation.

Hi! My husband and I are both vegan, in our late 30s, and live in Columbia. I know it can be tough! Send me a PM if you want to chat!

I've taken some of their classes and they are very good. Not the easiest location to get to from Columbia though.

At least get a comparison with a local shop. Vertical Connection has a nice shop and are based in Columbia. Check back with me in a few weeks and I'll tell you how they did. I can't comment on price since the flooring is a large part of putting in a large built in, and the contractor outsourced to them.

I am potentially hiring Lowe’s to do our wood flooring as well. Have heard good things and 0% financing is why we will likely chose them over a smaller independent company.

Station North Tool Library in Baltimore has classes (practical joinery, dimensioning lumber, picture frames, wooden utensils, etc.)
