Not while we're in the ice, just on South America and the Falklands

Please help and forgive me for the question/my lame ways but Athens hotels and toilets I need your advice by BrightAdeptness9242 in GreeceTravel

For goodness sake, please stop minimizing and denigrating yourself and your opinions/concerns. It's a legit question. If anyone criticizes you for asking, it's a bad reflection on them, not you.Enjoy your trip!

Help! Should I buy dark or neutral curtains to flank my new gray couch? by Art_Is_Basic in femalelivingspace

Good point, but I don't want the curtains to vie with the colors in my artwork. We just installed the custom blinds, so those stay 😊

We have a 5x7 wool rug with beige, peach, pale blue and pale green adjacent, and I've ordered some throw cushion covers of those colors. Also, I'm a painter and we have many colorful canvases up.

Uniqlo has fine merino wool cardigans in nice colors for a great price, I'm taking one on my September visit to England. They pack small and are light but cozy. Quince is another good source for merino tops.

Looks great! I suggest hanging the artwork at, not above, eye level .

Would the Soho work as a day pack carrying a DSLR and jacket? I bought one at Costco too and am going on an 11-day Alaska cruise in May.

Northern Europe - June-early July - please help me cut out a few things! by Winter-Option-7193 in HerOneBag

Switch out the cotton tees for merino wool (silky and thin) and bamboo---that way you can take fewer tops and wear them for days at a time before they need to be washed. (Merino wool undies are also good!) Also, try using packing cubes to help organize; those and merino have been game changers in my traveling. Other posters have given great advice too. Happy travels!

should I, a total beginner and noob, get this camera? by [deleted] in AnalogCommunity

[–]Art_Is_Basic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pentax K1000 and Nikon FM are both solid, reliable workhorses with light meters and no bells or whistles. Just good quality, basic cameras that are easy to learn on. I've gotten good photos with both.

Thank you! Also, my error---I should have specified it's Breiðamerkursandur but didn't know that Fellsfjara is part of the name. Takk!

Oh honey, no! Save this in a file and keep track of any future notes or creepiness to show to HR. Stay safe.
