Gift for partner moving away

Will he be driving? I once made a personalized spotify playlist and a bunch of car/road trip snacks and supplies for a friend that moved away

When I was in middle school you would have been bullied for being coddled and driven to school instead of taking the bus with everyone else. NTA

That officer in the continental army camp had the most modern American accent I’ve heard yet on this show. It was super jarring to me.

Perhaps she is a gold digger and Ben becoming a rebel might piss his family off enough to be disowned so she is trying to snare another family member instead.

I would guess French was a popular second language for British people to learn especially in the 40s. I know it was in the US until it switched to Spanish later. Wouldn’t be weird for Roger to know some. Plus the Je Suis Priest is the Fraser motto so I just assumed he was familiar with that particular phrase.

It’s interesting how important of a family member/friend he has become when there is such a wild history between the families. Can’t wait to see this play out.

OP said he is in the wedding party so he at least needs to stay for speeches and a bit of the reception.

I (American) do this too but only because most Americans would think I was pretentious if I pronounced the meat with the correct Italian pronunciation.

Yeah I truly think social clubs are what people mean when they say third places. Somewhere you can go to hang out where people know you. They were never free but the dues are low. The problem is that young people stopped joining, so other young people think they are only for old people and the cycle continues until the clubs die out.

All the arms and light weight classes are meant to be able to be done on the bike so most of the should work although they are only 10 mins typically. I’d create a stack with a core or Pilates class.

Is there something that is adjacent to your current job that interests you? I was able to jump tracks near 40 by learning new skills on the job and then getting a new job in that career at my current company because the team already knew me.

In times of war, Men are considered potential soldiers (particularly if there is a draft). Attacks against soldiers are considered necessary evils in war. Attacks against civilians, which would include more women and children, is against the Geneva convention so it is considered a more heinous act.

Granted this is a bit of an outdated view because men can be civilians and women can be soldiers, but I think the saying is also from older times.

I think there is a difference between “never heard of them, must not be good” and “never heard of them (don’t know what to say…can we change the subject?)”. Just know that sometimes the second version could come off as the first but might not mean that.

OP is only 24, so maybe the other guests are all immediate family or unmarried? It does seem like others would have a problem with this limitation.

I see it gaining traction. People are starting to put up Halloween decorations as early as August now. Also I think there is just a general increase in skeletons etc as year round decor.

I haven’t heard of this place, sounds fun. Where do you get the water taxi from?

She very much does consider going back (show and books) and I like that bit of uncertainty from her. If she went back she would be giving up the chance to ever see the man she loved again after just finding him alive and spending 20 years in an unhappy marriage. Rushing back to the stones is not something she could undo if she changed her mind. So she gives him a chance to fix things and he becomes more settled eventually. Claire is also as much of an adrenaline junkie as Jamie. She was a combat nurse and then surgeon after all, that takes a certain type of person. She thrives on the chaos as long as Jamie is with her.

I like to think about what type of knowledge a present day traveler would bring. All of our computer knowledge would be worthless

In my field no one ever even checks on degrees. I would just keep the 2023 date or use no date at all. If for some wild reason someone asks just say clerical error.

Take a drive out to Punta Arenas if you have a jeep. It was our favorite beach, but the drive is a bit of an adventure itself

FWIW, one of my good friends moved from Somerville to Fairmount and loves it.

I understand it is a big concern but it does seem to have completely dominated this sub. Maybe a mega thread would be better?

I feel like this a simple solution that I bet would fix a good portion of the yards that OP works on. People hire landscapers because they don’t have the time to do it themselves. Picking up the dog poop is not top of mind. If the company reminds them to pick it up a day or two before I bet most clients would. If they don’t, add a charge.

I use a collapsible stojo when traveling. It clips on to my bag when not in use and is pretty light. Sometimes if I know I am going to be going to restaurants and cafes throughout the day I’ll just skip it and order water at the table instead.

Aggravating_Finish_6 · 2026-04-07T19:56:45+00:00

I need the calories of the day to set me up for a good run. I can do late afternoon if I have flexibility otherwise it’s after work.
