Good point, hadn't considered that

A lot give free week or two. Could be worth checking them all out.

Sir, this is a Wendy's.

;)

Also lived in China for several years, Corner 21 is pretty damn authentic. More northern style Chinese food than Sichuan. Talked with the owners and their cook grew up cooking in China before moving to Springfield.

Ha, don't be so humble. You're a killer.

I was about to say the dumpster behind Wendy’s is a great place to start. So I’ve heard

Haha I'm alright. A brown belt under Brian Stuebner. Definitely taught me a thing or 3

10 years, wow! That's fantastic. You must truly be a skilled practitioner.

No clue if still same owner or recipe but in prob 2015 I stopped in for lunch and the burgers and fries were danged good…I mean it’s in and out style basic but it was very memorable with flavor.

Those dispensaries in the rural areas of MO are still going to be busy and full, sheriff's or not. It'll be good local tax revenue. I bet everybody and their mamas gonna be secretly getting high.

Springfield bjj is the best jiu-jitsu in Springfield. I've been there 10 years. We clean up at all the agfs. We have world champs, pans Champs, and consistent instruction from high level people. We also routinely host seminars with Caio, Yuri, wiltse, and all kinds of other high level jiu jitsu guys. If you wanna do some punchy stuff, fight club, but if you want to get good at specifically jiu jiu-jitsu, its the best spot

Yep and yep.

I don't think I've ever spoken to a former employee who had a favorable experience there. I'm sure they exist, but it's no one I've met.

Right? St George's or nothing

Authentic Chinese: Corner 21

American Chinese: Bao Bao, The Riksha

I need recommendations for new Chinese places if y’all know any good ones

I was going to say this — Bumble BFF and meetup are both great ideas as well as volunteering.

No, my pelvic floor doctor told me I should pursue it because we had run out of options. Granted she is very open minded, but I’m happy she did. Not every doctor is that self focused (only suggesting things they can provide) and they like offering things that might help if nothing else is helping.

Edit: Part of the issue here unfortunately is the lingering stigmas around weed. I know many others suffering from chronic illness who found medical marijuana or were recommended by their doctors because opioids are torture for so many people who are in pain. “You probably would anyways” is rooted in so many negative connotations. You don’t really know my life? 10% of people with my disease consume marijuana. Yeah, I’m sure I would have eventually considering that’s becoming incredibly common increasingly and it is frequently recommended for pain.

Oops, yes; you are correct.

Yea but I assume you'd smoke weed anyway.

Normal people not involved with the culture or inclined to pursue it probably aren't being offered weed by their ER doctor. So for a majority of Americans that don't use or have any inclination to even consider using it doesn't make any sense

That’s great to hear. I want to be in an environment where respect and safety are paramount.

West of 65.

The owners are abusive assholes. I don’t give them my business anymore after a miserable 3 months of working there. Also, they use cake mix, overpriced junk.
