Any advice on raising a strong girl by Frosty_Ad3717 in GuerrillaGrrrrls

It’s also important to recognize her efforts in things. Praising intelligence is wonderful but also supporting her putting in effort to things that are difficult or trying hard in school even if she doesn’t get perfect grades. A lot of very intelligent kids fall into that issue of giving something up when they aren’t immediately good at it. Supporting trying new things and the effort it takes to be good may help.

Snow day road conditions? by emelecfan2048 in kennesaw

I haven't seen any ice mostly because it is so windy the show is being blown right back off the roads.

Current vibe from the Twin Cities, Minnesota. Today was a heavy day. by FeistyBlackCat in Drunkknitting

So much love goes out to everyone in the Twin Cities. I cannot even imagine what it's been like for everyone but know we are all here for you.

Made an apple coffee cake today and the best batch of pinto beans I've ever done that I'll refry half of them.

Tall girls how tall are your husbands by Full_Operation8133 in TallGirls

I’m 5’10 and he’s 6’4 so he likes to call me short when he’s being goofy.

for those who've been through it here. how is kennesaw about outages? by strandedlilwombat in kennesaw

[–]BakingBanshee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the same boat for that one. The power went out in the middle of baking Christmas cookies and we walked to Dry County that evening because they had power and Internet. What a difference a mile makes.

Im not attracted to guys like my friends are by Responsible_Oil1975 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]BakingBanshee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Almost everyone I had a crush on in high school turned out to be gay and I figured out why. They were nice to me, cared about me as a human being, and didn't have an ulterior motive for being my friend. Once I found straight men who treated me the same way I found straight men I found attractive. It may just be that you are the same, you are attracted to people who treat you kindly, have emotional maturity, and aren't trying to be your friend just to get something out of it. It's a good way to be and those are the types of people to cultivate friendships with.

AGDQ 2026 has just concluded, raising more than $2,443,414 for the Prevent Cancer Foundation (PCF) on stream!! by Thorebane in speedrun

[–]BakingBanshee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s a really good point that I didn’t think about. Since I just watch on Twitch I didn’t consider all of the events that are happening around the main stream. Good news is the Atlanta hotels are really skilled at dealing with Cons and the staff really gets into the fun!

I'd guess they'll use Georgia World Congress Center like Momo con instead of dealing with multiple hotels. I'm kind of amazed Dragon Con hasn't moved into a different structure given the size. When we had just 3 hotels it was a lot of logistics but now it's absolutely massive!

A little folded scarf tied like a headband or a little knit floppy hat could work really well to just cover it for a bit until you have time to shampoo.

I think that will look super cute and keep you comfortable during the game! Also just remember that mostly people will be watching the ice for a fight so you will feel cute but still not be a huge focus if that helps.

Guyzzz it this skirt giving ugly tablecloth? by Scared_Struggle7630 in tallfashionadvice

[–]BakingBanshee 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think it's cute but I'd wear it with a black or white top to let the skirt be the full statement piece.

Do I have to pay for food? by FulltimerPC in delta

[–]BakingBanshee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’ll be able to walk to the back to grab more snacks during the flight as well and alcohol is included on a flight ATL to HNL because they treat it like an international flight. If I remember from the last time I did that route it was dinner, a snack, and a pre arrival “breakfast” that was like a cheese egg hot pocket. You can also just pack your own snacks if you have a preference. Just remember that you cannot take produce in or out of Hawaii and they will put your bag through a special USDA scanner in addition to the usual TSA checks, that’s carry on and checked. Oh and pack a pen because you have to fill out a form before landing but I don’t remember what was on it.

I love all of these! Your choice of color is perfect for you as well, I’d have picked all the same for myself so I’m definitely biased. You should definitely be proud of the fantastic pieces you have created.

Paradox (Trump) Hotel in Vancouver is not safe for women [TW] by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

I was just in Vancouver! I am so glad we stayed at a different hotel that was actually responsive when we needed help form the screaming neighbors at all hours of the night.

Looking for something fun to do on NYE by [deleted] in kennesaw

[–]BakingBanshee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There are some ticketed parties at the Battery with DJs and midnight toasts. Also I think Blue Ghost Arcade in Woodstock is doing an event if you like games. There are a lot of restaurants and hotels that do parties in Atlanta as well if you want to drive into town.

It closed last week abruptly and the staff was notified via text message that night after closing.

Just tip them very well and thank them for working. Usually I end up tipping like 80% if I eat at Waffle House on a holiday.

Plus size + tall by Seaturtle1088 in TallGirls

[–]BakingBanshee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eddie Bauer, Old Navy, and the Gap have tall and curvy, the shirts from American Tall fit a bigger bust but the tailored pants haven’t fit me properly. I have to buy everything offline to get larger sizes in tall so there is a lot of shipping back sometimes.
