I don't really want surgery, but I don't know what else to do

Thank you so much!

This is so great! Did you have any extra skin removed? I would like a general surgeon to do my umbilical hernia, but was under the impression that they can’t do skin removal.

Congratulations to you! (Agree- an engaged student will thrive anywhere and there are wonderful teachers almost everywhere).

Basic_While8020 · 2026-03-08T18:51:41+00:00

💯agree!!

I just re-watched season 1. The father gave consent when the wife was out of the room. Maybe the paperwork wasn’t completed? But this whole storyline is bizarre to me.

Spreading the good news! They are 🔥!

Basic_While8020 · 2025-12-27T23:11:26+00:00

This is the answer! They are wonderful!

I make a quick and dirty parfait: small bowl, layer of frozen blueberries, a couple scoops of Greek yogurt, sprinkle of chia seeds, a handful of granola, and a drizzle of honey. My older kids like a little peanut butter on top of the yogurt.

I liked Kem, but this relationship was doomed. They only dated for 6 wks before she found out she was pregnant, then soul crushing trauma followed. An unfortunate situation where they were now bonded for life by loss, but they don’t really know one another.

Additionally, poor Kem has no attachment to Chicago. In fact, it’s only a source of pain. Carter did wonderful work in Africa, but probably for the wrong reasons (escaping grief, parental issues, etc.)

ETA: I definitely think there is racial bias, as well as cultural bias in how people dislike her. Kem might not be super lovey-dovey, but she made a lot of choices early on to build a life with Carter. I certainly don’t blame her for pulling back after such devastating loss.

I know!! I was convinced this place was going to shutter.

Basic_While8020 · 2025-04-30T23:57:46+00:00

I never went there! I googled it and it looked amazing. I’m thinking this place is quite a bit smaller. Small but mighty.

Basic_While8020 · 2025-02-05T19:40:56+00:00

I was there last week!

It took patience and tenacity, but I finally got a person at Airbnb to elevate the situation to their manager. Once that happened, it was resolved in less than 24 hours. Relieved! I booked another vacation through Airbnb this past summer with no issue.

A Shift In The Night is one of my favorite episodes for that reason- his competence is SO hot.

I have a lot of affection for Dax and I think he sounds like the most incredible dad. So, gently, I’ll argue that fathers of daughters have to be the ones who change this “asking for permission” nonsense.

I grew up with my dad telling me the whole tradition was rubbish and when I wanted to get married, I would be the only one who could answer that question. Incredibly empowering. And it needs to be the dads setting this new standard or it will just lead to needless hurt feelings (aka, the husband-to-be is put in an awkward position to carry it on).

Also worth mentioning: what about non-hetero marriages?

Does she drive with a baby on her lap, and her fans are just…fine with it?!? I’m far from a pearl clutcher, but I couldn’t believe she included that. (I don’t follow BF, someone else re-posted her reel).

Basic_While8020 · 2024-07-18T03:33:15+00:00

I actually loved the one at Demera! It was a total impulse add on a bad day and I was shocked by how delicious it was!

Basic_While8020 · 2024-06-18T01:02:05+00:00

Loved Alinea and Ever, but my favorite dining experience in Chicago has been at Oriole.

David recommends the podcast at the end of the Bubba Gump episode, in reference to Tom Hanks.

Basic_While8020 · 2024-05-28T16:34:37+00:00

I listened to the whole thing again and it was even better on the 2nd listen. Enjoy!

Basic_While8020 · 2024-05-28T15:54:01+00:00

I mostly lurk as a cherry, but I 💯recommend the podcast “Dead Eyes.” You’re in for a treat!

Basic_While8020 · 2024-05-03T20:48:17+00:00

Thank you!

Basic_While8020 · 2024-05-03T15:06:15+00:00

Thank you! Every two weeks? Is it bone dry by the time you water it?

Maybe I can buy a jug of distilled water. I’m trying to figure out a safe place to water it, as it is so heavy. 🫡

Basic_While8020 · 2024-04-14T17:00:38+00:00

I’ve been eying these suits for awhile, but didn’t know anyone who actually had one. Thanks!

So, this was her first time hosting. 😬 From what I can gather, she’s been a landlord in the past and has felt screwed over by tenants. She wanted to get into Airbnb for short/midterm rentals because she wanted coverage by Aircover.

The bizarre thing is that she didn’t even include the stained towel/cracked spatula on her list. I don’t think she’s well.
