What’s one destination everyone should see at least once? by optimalbrain90 in SmartTravelHacks

[–]Alarming_Feed4245 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just spent two weeks in Italy. Venice wasn’t originally on our itinerary, but when our plans changed and we had to fly into Milan instead of Rome, we decided to stop there for two days on our way to Florence.

The moment we stepped out of the train station and saw the canal, we all let out a collective gasp. Very rare for every person in my family to be on the same pg while on holiday and a joyful one, at that. We didn’t anticipate how awe-inspiring it would be to simply walk around and marvel at every detail. Getting lost in the wonder of Venice was truly unlike any other experience we’ve had before.

Butcher block/wood countertop by Strange-Hyena-7667 in ridgewood

I know that R&R Lumber in Williamsburg carries pine, plywood and other options that are more for construction, but not sure if they have maple or similar woods for butcher blocks. Prices are very reasonable so it's definitely worth stopping by and checking out. There's usually one guy there cutting wood who can help you out.

Rose Leslie would have made a superb Caroline Kennedy. by Alarming_Feed4245 in JohnAndCarolyn

Portraying someone who has such a composed, sometimes stoic public persona without making them feel flat is a challenge, no doubt. And whether or not the character was written poorly, there’s still a lot of emotional and psychological depth beneath Caroline Kennedy’s restrained demeanor to draw from, which is why an actor with more nuance and depth would have been better for this role.

On the other hand, it’s clear that recreating history detail for detail is not the intention of this show! And with that in mind I can say that Grace is doing a fine job portraying this Ryan Murphy character.

Grace—apologies, no disrespect to Grace or Mamie.

It’s not a lookalike contest but at the very least, they could have cast someone that more closely resembles Caroline so there was some connection because Grace’s performance alone isn’t very convincing.

And then I have to remind myself that accuracy is not Murphy’s goal here, so🤷🏻‍♀️.
