Broken voting machine?

Just got out of early voting at the ivy tech location; when it came time to confirm my choices the paper side of the machine did not change nor show me anything. When I asked for help they said as long as I press the button it will be counted and be fine, I'm just wondering if that is true and if anyone else has had issues with their machines.

Sober Adult Birthday Ideas?

Hey all, my girlfriend’s birthday is coming up this month and we’ve been discussing where to go. We don’t drink, smoke, do drugs, etc so a lot of the “adult” birthday party stuff is out of our comfort level. We go to Komets games semi-regularly and she wants to do something else for her birthday. Does anyone have any fun ideas for where I can take her? I just moved here this year so there’s still a lot I’m not familiar with.

TIA!

2 toms

Hey there, so I live pretty far south of Fort Wayne. I’ll be in town today for about an hour. I discovered a beer from 2toms last weekend, that I can’t find in any stores where I live. I bought the rest of it that the bar had lol. So here’s my ask:

Are there any liquor stores in FT. Wayne that currently have our generally have 2toms brewery beers in stock? Especially looking for cereal killer booberry! I’d stop at the brewery, but I’ll be in and out of town before they open.

Thanks in advance.

Maumee Valley Home Economics Recipe Book 2nd edition (1940s or 50s)

Antique recipe book from the Fort Wayne region. There's no publication date. The earliest date is 1941/2, after Indiana Service Corporation went defunct. Newspaper ads in 1939 advertising the "Leisure Electric Home" say it's owned by Indiana Service Corporation, this printing says it is owned by IMP. It is unclear if the ads in this edition are new to it or part of the original printing. All of the local phone numbers are 4 or 5 digits.

A few select pages, mainly picked for the ads.

There's a few funeral homes advertising, only the only included emphasized the "Lady Assistant."

There's probably a few family recipes in here.

Local Rapier fencing groups?

I joined the SCA's fighter group and recently picked up a rapier, most fun I've had in years. Any other groups kicking around? I'd like to get more practice (and possibly training) in.

If anyone is interested in picking up a blade and doesn't know where to start, check out the Shadowed Stars Facebook group, I cannot recommend this crew strongly enough, super nice and supporting. They have a decent amount of loaner kit too, so you don't have to drop cash to try it.

Can the Fort Wanye airport really call itself "international" if it only has domestic flights?

I wish they at least went to Toronto, my long distance SO is from there, and if they can go all the way to Texas and Vegas, why not Canada
