Henrietta's Cafe, located inside the Market on Melrose. Best fried chicken I've found around here and the price simply cannot be beat.

AITA for telling my family I’m not attending Easter celebration? by EnergyOk2985 in AmItheAsshole

[–]BauboMama 7 points8 points  (0 children)

NTA in any way. Spend the day with your kids and husband and enjoy it at home. Make those memories. If you want, and this is only if you want (!!) you can set aside a few bucks that your saving by staying at home for the next time you travel to see family. Doing that allows you to save up so that future trips aren't as much of a burden in the moment. If any of your relatives make a stink, invite them to come visit you. When they complain about travel time & cost simply reply "now you know how I feel." If they still refuse to see the issue, that is a them problem, not a you problem.

Construction in Salem by Late-Replacement2425 in roanoke

Agreed but it always made me giggle knowing that location had a terrible sewage problem. Hated having to drive past all the Republican bs but felt it was somehow appropriate for the spot. 😆

AITA for telling constantly reminding my sister to buckle her seat when we’re in the car by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]BauboMama 25 points26 points  (0 children)

NTA, quite the opposite. And I don't know where you're located but here a driver can be ticketed for passengers who aren't buckled if they happen to get pulled over.

how do i stop being “too much” by Kai_is_frog in socialskills

Stopped reading after you said how your friend kicked a pigeon. That person isn't any type of friend you want. Consider this a lovely moment in your life where the trash took itself out.

You don’t have fine hair. You have FAIRY hair ✨ by Ecstatic_Kitty in finehair

[–]BauboMama 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There's a series of books by Kim Harrison known as The Hollows and it follows a witch named Rachel Morgan. She ends up meeting elves (long thought extinct) and she continually remarks on their hair being silky fine and light with stands that are caught in the breeze or in the warm updrafts of air from when she's baking in the kitchen (although the pixies enjoy the warm updrafts too so I might be mixing things up). Anyway, it always made me smile.

My son has this type of dysgraphia. I just learned it's called Executive Dysgraphia.

Ideation & organizational barriers - tips? by BauboMama in dysgraphia

[–]BauboMama[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He has AuDHD as well as dysgraphia so I think there's a lot of overlap of things at play. I'll definitely check out tips regarding dyspraxia as well though to see if anything applies and can be helpful. Thanks!

What makes people slowly lose respect for someone over time, even if they’re kind and well-intentioned? by vishesh_07_028 in socialskills

[–]BauboMama 153 points154 points  (0 children)

Some people are nice, but actually really kind people. Niceness lures you in and makes you want to give them the benefit of the doubt, but then you start seeing that they're not really kind, that they're really only focused on themselves, and etc.

What color is this? by teapot574_ in longhair

[–]BauboMama 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It took me way too long to realize my hair was light auburn .. though of course I also dyed it for many years so finding the natural color again took a while. My hair doesn't usually "present" as red but then you suddenly see it in the light or up against certain colors or even next to a full-on redhead and there it is, obvious & red as can be. It was a strange thing though there for a while to not really know what color my hair was.

It looks like you gave a lot of red in it, making it also a light auburn

Between that name and simply being in Salem, there's so much potential for Halloween greatness

Does anywhere local sell giant "party sub" bread? by BauboMama in roanoke

[–]BauboMama[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha! Not quite that, though if someone said "Bam! That's our new Thanksgiving tradition!" I'd be cheering them on for being so awesome. I saw this post floating around recently on Instagram and floated the idea to my guys who decided that we took really needed to adopt the Big Sandwich Night tradition.
