How bad do you have to mess up that other police officers won't cover for you? This isn't an anti-police post. I'm just genuinely shocked.

My husband and I just moved to the Trolley area. I’m a little holiday crazy and getting siked about decorating our new place for the season. Where does one usually get a tree around here? For ref, we’re not terribly far from St. Ann’s parish!

TY!

After experiencing last winter's high Delmarva bills, what temperature are you keeping your indoor living space this winter to help reduce cost?

You can stop calling me. I'm good. It was just some hail not widespread roof destruction.

Whoever is adding the signs and warning people:

Thank you!!!!! Unless you’re actively looking for them, they tend to just blend in with everything else.

There needs to be more transparency about grant funding and the substance-use services it supports. How many substance-use clients were actually served? How many received opioid-related treatment, and how does that compare with the services described in the grant applications? I would like to see a public accounting of expenditures, client numbers, and outcomes. These questions warrant an independent review and documented answers.

On the way to Philadelphia.

Hi everyone!

I'm a University of Delaware student working on a marketing research project, and I'm looking to hear from parents and caregivers of children ages 6 months - 10 years who live in the Middletown, Georgetown, or surrounding areas.

I'm hoping to reach as many local families as possible and would really appreciate your help by completing a short, 10-question survey about children's activities and interest in swimming lessons.

The survey is completely voluntary and anonymous, and should only take a few minutes to complete.

If you could please complete the survey by November 15th, I would greatly appreciate it!

Survey Link: https://forms.gle/TVLPBCiA2Wbnp6a37

Thank you so much in advance for taking the time to help with my research! And feel free to share this post with other local parents who might be interested in participating!

Specifically looking for men's coats at the moment. But I'll take any suggestions.

Perhaps a couple weeks early to ask about Christmas Trees...

New resident of Sussex County, close to Millsboro/Georgetown area. Looking for a business where Christmas Trees are decent and priced reasonably.

Wife wants a tree just after Thanksgiving, she loves decorating the house and tree...

Thanks...

I’m not necessarily opposed to this, but it’s another one where my gut says “no”. Our economy is already >30% dependent on franchise tax and related industries, and this feels like it could be steroids for the race to the bottom.

I would like legislators to explain how this benefits people, not just the revenue, but what are the use cases for this and how is it protecting people? Can it shield the cancer-curing AI’s creator from liability, without also shielding the bank robbing AI’s creator?

This used to be near the airport apparently, anyone know of photos of the interior? Would love to find some!

A friend of mine is in Wilmington temporarily for work. She bought a book at Huxley & Hiro, really disliked it, and sent the store a polite email asking whether they'd consider store credit. She explicitly said she'd understand if not and would be back to shop either way. (Screenshot 1 is the email.)

The owner replied privately and kindly: no returns, but take a free advance copy. My friend thanked her. All fine. (Screenshot 0.)

Same day, the owner posted the full email to Indie Booksellers, a private Facebook group of ~3.1K booksellers, with my friend's full name visible and the caption "I'm not censoring the name because people this shameless should be shamed." (Screenshot 1.)

In the comments the owner and a staff member mocked her, called her "too ridiculous," joked about her hobbies, told Bay Area stores which customer she was, and said the email was "obviously just an attempt to insult my staff member" (2–4). To their credit, plenty of booksellers pushed back and said they'd have happily offered an exchange (5–6).

A "no" was completely fair. Publicly naming and mocking a customer for asking politely is not. If you shop local, it's worth knowing how this store talks about customers when it thinks they aren't looking.

I am desperate to find a truly exceptional sushi spot local to Wilmington/north of the canal. I’m talking fresh, high-quality fish, hand rolls, nigiri and sashimi, and a focus on the fish rather than drowning everything in spicy mayo, eel sauce, tempura crunch, and cream cheese (no offense if that’s your jam).

Ideally, I’m looking for something as close to an authentic Japanese sushi experience as possible. Does such a hidden gem (or maybe it’s been hiding in plain sight) exist around here? Idc if it’s a hole in the wall (in fact that would be even better) as long as the fish is fresh and the quality is on point.

We like Takumi a lot and it’s probably the closest I’ve found to what I’m looking for, but hoping to find a few more options.

Best dish, product, restaurant, store?

I am hoping someone could help me. I work for Christina School district and recently had to take medical leave. It was explained to me over the phone by the state's dedicated HDFA that my employer has to provide the paid leave without me using all my pto. Short term disability kicks in after 30 days and FMLA just holds my job. My HR rep keeps telling me my only option is short term disability. The state did tell me my employer did opt out of using their plan, but that they chose to use their own third party company to provide it. It comes out of my paycheck, but they still won't give me the name of the company. Does anyone know it or can provide me information? I really can't afford to use all my pto then go without pay for 2 weeks.
