If you are buying something from @Lowes that needs to be installed by @CrstHome @CRSTcareers don't. Failed to show up for multiple install appointments for two weeks without any contact and all customer service does is say they can't do anything and then hang up.

Do you know a current or recent undergraduate who has completed an outstanding research paper for class or a senior thesis? If so, please encourage them to consider submitting it to the Midwest Journal of Undergraduate Research (MJUR)! https://t.co/JRShGt4gXl

Everytime you read a "College X has partnered with local bussiness to offer a degree/program in Y" story know that there is a company that has decided to buy off a college rather than offer actual entry-level jobs with proper training.

Finished up a thing. 6" hoop, DMC floss, mostly long-and-short stitch.
