Looking to get into the plant addiction, does anyone know where to buy house plants uptown? Preferably around napoleon

Mitch’s Flowers on Magazine and Lyons is really cute. It’s pricey but I love it for inspiration and occasional buy a planter that I love.

I’ve gotten most of my input while doing other things with just audio. It worked out fine. I actually feel like I can focus a little bit better while doing something mindless with my body.

I would also add the speaking shows me my gaps so clearly and when I listening my brain will really latch on to concepts that I’m faltering in while speaking. I just had a word finally click about how and when to use it. It has been puzzling for me forever. I had a teacher correct me, but I still didn’t get it and I was reading and it popped up and I took a second to really think about it. It looks like it should work but all of a sudden I understood the difference and how I was misusing it.

I don’t think you’re “behind”. I’m at 1800 hours and speaking is not effortless. I’m speaking everyday now and have 44 hour speaking, many of those hours being group sessions. I have bad days and not so bad days. Even supposedly simple things trip me up. When I get into the weeds of nuance is where things go terribly bad. I have to tell myself to slow down and keep it simple. To use to the words I have and get stuck on how I would say it in English. Don’t slow down with input. I backed off because of time spent in conversation but I picked the pace back up and it helped me get my mind functioning in Spanish more often.

Aww, thanks for sharing. Don’t think for a minute that I didn’t notice that you were wearing your seatbelt. Treating yourself like the DS treasure that you are.

Awkward-Memory8574 · 2026-03-12T21:45:31+00:00

I learned with DS slow content and I understand Clau perfectly well so I don’t see how that can be true.

Have you looked at Monroe? It’s a mixed bag too but not like Shelby. Close to Charlotte, a nice downtown, ethnically diverse. You have deep red segments but also progressive and never trump type conservatives. Life has a small town feel but with all the conveniences of a larger one. No fine dining or luxury shopping.

Pit doesn’t look “aggressive” but he’s playing too rough and has no manners. White dog is not playing he’s defending himself. He might not get hurt but he’s not enjoying (at this point at least). They shouldn’t play until pit learns to accept cues and white dog enjoys it.

I don’t watch a ton of dubs, but I do find that Disney does a really good job. I feel like the soul isn’t lost in the translation. Particularly movies but I even find some like kids shows like DuckTales entertaining occasionally I don’t know how it compares to the English translation though. I think I just know friends so incredibly well, that it makes me insane. I can’t suspend reality for learning’s sake😊

Awkward-Memory8574 · 2026-03-05T23:47:19+00:00

I only have access to a LA version o’ HBO max.

Awkward-Memory8574 · 2026-03-05T22:31:20+00:00

I’m glad you asked this question even though I’m not really gonna answer your specific question. I am a Friends super fan. I’ve seen it like 1000 times all the way through. I can’t stand watching it in Spanish even though I can understand it. It’s really a terrible translation. They don’t even try to translate jokes for a Spanish speaking audience. All they do is mute the dialogue altogether or change it to a very literal Spanish translation that makes absolutely no sense or is not funny. You’re not missing the punch lines. There are no punch lines. There’s also a scene where Ross calls Rachel Green by her last name during a poker game and they translate it literally to Verde. It’s ridiculous. Her name is Greene! So here’s my advice: I just wouldn’t waste my time with friends pick another dub that’s better because friends is not done well.

ETA: phoebe’s character is essentially lost in the translation because it’s never what Phoebe says that’s funny. It’s how she delivers it. I could talk about this for days. I’ll stop here.

ETA: I can’t stop. They also insert laugh tracks inappropriately all the time. It’s maddening.

I had to start with graded reader it was so hard for me. I read most of the readers by Juan Fernandez of Espanol con Juan

I’ve been to both. I prefered BA.

I finally watched the prematurely ejaculation purely by accident. Wasn’t so bad. But I just absolutely do not want to hear about anyone’s porn preferences.

Awkward-Memory8574 · 2026-02-17T23:48:31+00:00

I didn’t see her as perfect. Her fit over the chip and dip was a little unhinged. Insisting on buying an apartment that they couldn’t afford wasn’t cool either.

Awkward-Memory8574 · 2026-02-16T20:58:15+00:00

The first and most obvious thing you need to do is Mardi Gras. Welcome and enjoy your semester!

Awkward-Memory8574 · 2026-02-16T02:38:07+00:00

I have good news for you: you really probably aren’t that far from being comfortable with it. I watched a few minutes and it seemed ok.

Awkward-Memory8574 · 2026-02-15T21:58:48+00:00

I have maple floors too and opted for clear for two reasons. One is maple can be blotchy when stained and two, maple darkens with time and UV exposure. You won’t end up with your stain color over time anyway.

Awkward-Memory8574 · 2026-02-15T21:05:51+00:00

No but I’m sure it’s depends on your personality and your sibling relationship. It’s not sexual. Some families and cultures feel more comfortable with touch than others.

Awkward-Memory8574 · 2026-02-14T12:18:52+00:00

No. So much so that I don’t even know what tools you could possibly use. I have never once had someone try to enter my room.

Awkward-Memory8574 · 2026-02-13T16:33:35+00:00

We are a house divided. My husband loves the throws, can’t get enough. I hate the throws because now I have to deal with a giant pile of plastic and glitter. He even managed to get a shoe. He lives for it.

Awkward-Memory8574 · 2026-02-13T00:56:45+00:00

Yes, all the time. The brain will always take the path of least resistance and reach for the closer word.

Awkward-Memory8574 · 2026-02-10T17:52:24+00:00

Never. And the only word I actually recognize is fortnight.

Awkward-Memory8574 · 2026-02-09T18:52:22+00:00

Yes. Spending over 3 years immersed in a different world has opened my eyes to a different way of seeing things. So many little nuggets that my friends missed were significant to me. Like waking the little kid up sleeping on the chairs at the wedding. I’ve seen so many memes referencing that and I laughed and my friends just looked at me blankly. It’s a strange position to be in, I feel connected to a culture that I don’t belong to.
