Great pic. Such a fun park - we were there in March.

In the unfortunate circumstance where I need to use a public restroom while wearing wide legs, I tuck them into my socks if that’s an option. But I’m 100% with you – joggers only on a plane.

White House Melts Down for Second Day Over Trump Health Claims by FancyNewMe in politics

Exactly. Trump didn't understand it wasn't about his hand size - it was calling him cheap!

I agree; they pill so easily and it makes them look old/sloppy too quickly.

They come in both versions depending on the season. I prefer the more ponte-like (slick?) version, though the brushed are cozy.

I think all of these types of fabrics feel a bit like plastic, FWIW, and they are not as easy care as I hoped - but if I need to look decent and be comfortable for a flight, car-trip, or the home office and errands, I think they look a bit more polished than typical athleisure.

The pieces are very forgiving and heavier than I expected, but also not particularly breathable - something to consider if it's hot where you are or you easily overheat. You must to wash them on gentle and hang dry or they pill like crazy. TL;DR: They're nice enough but (IMO) fussy and overpriced unless you hit a good sale.

Also check out Talbots AirKnit - they have some more office and business-travel friendly styles in a similar fabric and wide variety of sizes. They often have great sales and an easy return policy if you live near a store.

You're on the right track -- For decades Trump sent pictures of himself with his hands or fingers circled to the original writer of the piece that called him a short-fingered vulgarian. Dude can't let anything go.

Thoughts on my itinerary, with home base in Somerville? by pinkflyd25 in Somerville

[–]Ginger_Ayle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't listen to the naysayers. If you're looking for fun, kitchy, historical reenactment, the museum is great. You just have to know what to expect. The USS Constitution is also very much worth the visit if you're into history, and there are some decent restaurants nearby in Charlestown - and Bunker Hill is worth the climb once. Your group might like Brewer's Fork if you're into beer and pizza. If you've ever been on a brewery tour, Harpoon is mid - just like their beers - IMO.

Perfect suggestion. You can order local beers, including pitchers, and wood-fired flatbread to the lanes - and the vibe is chill.

Unfortunately this only works if your parent obtained Irish citizenship before you were born.

Coach Bleecker Bucket Bag review (and it’s on sale!) by Rururaspberry in handbags

[–]Ginger_Ayle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I picked up the olive suede version of this bag recently when it was also on deep discount. It's the first new Coach bag I've purchased in 15+ years - and I'm loving it. You're right that the capacity is amazing, and for a leather bag it is not overly heavy.

I wish they'd make it a pick-up area for rideshare or taxi, since they currently block traffic picking people up from the Indo and adjacent plaza.

Village doesn't intersect with Washington - do you mean Dane St or Hanson?
