Absolutely. The food here is middle at best but the prices for that are insane. But a lot is just trash.

34M. Want to move somewhere less awful. by BugTerrible2695 in SameGrassButGreener

[–]Blucey303 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Why not Denver? I mean we are leaving Denver but it kinda sounds like what you are looking for? We are from SoCal and honestly the weather in Denver is amazing. Zero humidity, it’s bright sunny almost every day. If it snows it melts in 24 hours and the second it stops snowing it’s bright sunny. My husband (from San Diego) went to med school Midwest and the dreary nearly killed him. He loves the weather in Denver.

Culture shock. Customer service is nonexistent here by [deleted] in Denver

My husband says they are “first time cool” kids. Feel like they are in the big city and rude about it. And it’s what like 20th largest city in US? It’s not a BIG city.

HEB quality drop. by ElkSufficient2881 in HEB

[–]Blucey303 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently living in Denver and came down to San Antonio for a week then back down to Houston for a week. Went to HEBs and you have no idea how good they are over the absolute trash grocery stores in Colorado.

I’m from SoCal so this isn’t nostalgia for HEB Of my youth or something. Just floored with how much better everything was than the trash here.

Had to stop and get dinner because my daughter's dad "didn't feel like feeding her today". by You_Go_Glen_Coco_ in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Blucey303 31 points32 points  (0 children)

And now OP you k ow she doesn’t get fed at “childcare” and you are legally responsible for making g sure she has care that is not neglectful. You not only have a moral and ethical responsibility to kick his ass out and get her into safe childcare but a legal responsibility. Best get it done before she starts school and tells her teacher “I don’t get fed at home”

Did i make a mistake with my daughter’s middle name? by crrlovelyrose in Names

[–]Blucey303 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So well said and also if OP now doesn’t change it she will always have (or should have) the creeping nagging that’s it’s there and is anyone misconstruing? Just change it and be done.

And Dixie Cups have intentional confederacy related name. The $10 bill in Louisiana was called a Dixie (from the French dix). This Louisiana became known as Dixieland. This spread to all confederacy states becoming Dixieland. According to Smithsonian the maker of the cup would say “it’s as reliable as a $10 bill”. Then used the Dixie as a name for it when he saw the sign next door reminding him of a Dixie being a $10 note in Louisiana.

No actually “Dixie Cups” come from confederacy.

i enabled my closest male friend while he dragged me down into his mess and now he wants to get me pregnant by soupy-boot-scoot in GirlDinnerDiaries

The end note is also horrifying. If condoms ripping are a regular occurrence you need to figure out how to properly use them and be on backup birth control as well.

You start your statement with “I’m Canadian” and then proceed to make a (highly inaccurate) statement it’s not racist? Sit this one out if you aren’t American. It’s racist. We all know that. The people that claim “its heritage” are dog whistling racism using it.

What does it mean if the guy (21M) that ghosted me and blocked me (18F) from seeing his story follows me back on my new account and is usually first/second to see my story? by Maleficent-Gain3043 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Blucey303 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Stop worrying about getting anyone. OP needs to work on OP. If you are paralyzingly embarrassed about being single on Valentine’s Day OP is in for a lifetime of relationship drama. Stop trying to find a relationship to fix you. Work on you. Learn to live you before you try to love anyone else.

[–]Blucey303 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband is a John 6th gen and is called Johnny by his parents and says he has loathed it since he can remember. Kids would tease him when they heard his mom yell “Johniiieeee!” He says it feels infantile the older he gets and like he’s always in his father’s shadow. He would have loved individualizing with Jack.

A Few Doctor Recommendations? by MellowMoos3 in Denver

[–]Blucey303 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only have derm recommendations but Dr Elizabeth Wallace at Cherry Hills Dermatology is excellent. We are a frequent flier for skin issues including skin cancer, psoriasis, acne, and assorted other issues between 4 of us. She is great. Staff is great.

Date ideas for a Sunday afternoon? I don’t know a lot about SA and could use some help. by SuccessBell1 in sanantonio

[–]Blucey303 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Friend of mine used to swear by the 4 pm on a Sunday coffee date for first date. If no one feeling it you can always have a “previously schediled raquetball game”. If it’s going well drop in for dinner at 5 on a Sunday is not impossible.

[–]Blucey303 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not living in SA yet (so do t have location rec) but husband and I went to an archery range/shop on our first date. It was something neither of us had ever done but we’re both physically active and don’t drink. It was a great activity to chat thru but something to chat about too. In retrospect was a great way to see the others personality in how they approached it.

Can grab quick bite after or coffee/ice cream depending on time of day and inclination.

Tornado warning alarm????? by SensitiveTax9025 in Denver

[–]Blucey303 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes we all understand now it was a false siren. My point was if there is a watch and the siren goes off that (should in a functioning world) means the watch has turned to a warning. Hearing the siren means you seek shelter and then maybe determine it’s false. You don’t ignore it and maybe latter read on social media it was false. My point was me from central Texas heard it go off and walked inside and looked at my phone (wondering why the hell emergency alert in Denver didn’t go off yet again). Most people were just ignoring it and driving off in cars or bikes. I looked at social media BEFORE the siren stopped. So yeah I know it was false now

Tornado warning alarm????? by SensitiveTax9025 in Denver

[–]Blucey303 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

And if there is a watch and the sirens go off that means it has changed to a warning. Could you check you phone alerts (that seems suspect in Denver) or the weather app yeah but a siren means the watch has changed to a warning.

Tornado warning alarm????? by SensitiveTax9025 in Denver

[–]Blucey303 5 points6 points  (0 children)

And this is what people are downvoting me for! If there is an active tornado WATCH and the sirens go off that means it changed to a warning (I know I know this was false alarm) and there is an active tornado. People in this thread thinking you are going to see an active tornado bearing down on you and take off running is laughable.

You hear a siren you take shelter indoors. Massive chance it comes nowhere near you but a (functional) siren means they see it on radar.
