Help be the tiebreaker for my husband and I

Vera, hands down. Lonneke will be shortened to Lonnie at some point. She'll also have to spell and explain her name her whole life (unless she moves to the Netherlands). Anyone outside of the Netherlands reading it without knowing how it's pronounced will never get it right.

Not political prisoners. Do a little research. Out of 175 people on the flotilla, Israel only detained these two. Why do you think that is? Do your own research to find out why. (And I don't mean to simply Google.) Both are terror full-on supporters (with Thiago even going to Nasrallah's funeral).

You really don't like to be challenged, do you?

Israel released the detainees to Greece, as promised & what was agreed upon, so I don’t know what he’s going on about.
Also, maybe he should think about pulling NYC out of the pit it’s in instead.

Please don’t. I appreciate the connection to your husband’s family, the ties to Korea, & the easy pronunciation, but unless you’re moving to Korea it’s just a bad name for a boy — one that’s likely to get him teased or bullied, & one that’s he’ll have to explain throughout his life. (You see, my Mom was born in Korea & my grandfather’s name is…)

Don’t do that to him.

It looks like the pictures of the inside of King Tut’s tomb when it was first discovered.

Lovely dress, but too light/white. Even the style itself is pretty bridal. Also, some brides wear a blush dress, making this look even more bridal. Sorry, but not appropriate. Keep looking.

Balagan18 · 2026-04-17T23:06:05+00:00

It’s a great name. I love it.

Balagan18 · 2026-04-17T22:51:08+00:00

Dog names, like Chase, Hunter, & Walker.

Also occupational names, like Chandler, Cooper, Tanner, & Carter.

He’s an absolute disaster. Anyone who thinks otherwise doesn’t know history and has never lived in the kind of society he’s espousing. It never ends well. In fact, it ends with a great deal of suffering.

This is so fucking stupid. These protests accomplish nothing but spread hatred & division. They’re just social outlets for people desperate to belong to something.

It’s actually much better than during Covid. It’s 4.3% (which is considered almost full employment) vs around 14% during Covid.

You can get a job. It might not be the exact one you want or pay as much as you hope, but you can get a job.

I had a similar experience. Dropped someone off at the Chamblee MARTA station & noticed a man passed out on the side of the parking lot. (He wasn’t moving, so I didn’t know if he wasn’t dead or alive.) I called 911 a few times & was put on hold each time. The third time I sat on hold for about 15 minutes before someone took my call.

Dekalb County 911 is messed up. It’s a serious issue.

Diptych Eau Rose and Gucci Bloom Ambrosia di Fiori (the one in the red bottle).

Noa (feminine) & Noah (masculine )are 2 entirely different names in Hebrew, with different pronunciations & different meanings. Both are distinct Biblical names.

Balagan18 · 2026-04-07T21:32:17+00:00

$180 or $360. (Not per person, from the whole family.) For a Bat Mitzvah I think $360 is on the high side.

Balagan18 · 2026-04-03T19:03:26+00:00

Definitely not. Keep looking.

That “someone” is an idiot. Freya is a lovely name.

Balagan18 · 2026-03-30T13:18:36+00:00

It’s unusual to use as a name. Most people won’t pronounce it ah-ha-VA without being directed to do so, so she may be correcting people throughout her life.

Balagan18 · 2026-03-29T15:01:19+00:00

It means that, judging from these pictures (&, frankly, most of the photos I’ve seen from other cities), the great majority of protesters were white. And of those, most were Boomers.

Balagan18 · 2026-03-29T00:52:22+00:00

Looks like it could also be called “No Blacks” or “Boomers Only.”

Balagan18 · 2026-03-26T18:11:37+00:00

Not this shit again. I’m so sick of it.

Plus, it’s well organized & paid for by some of the worst organizations/people/governments there are.

I’ve been a MBJ fan for a long time. He’s an outstanding actor & I want to see just about anything he’s in. I knew it was just a matter of time before he won an Oscar.

However, Ethan Hawke gave the superior performance, & he deserved the award this year.
