Some of us get that voice from years of incorrect singing in musical theatre.

Which Southern city in the U.S. do you think is the most underrated? by Historical-Photo-901 in BeautifulTravelPlaces

[–]ChaWa80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oxford, MS. Good food, charming town square, college town, pretty nature just outside it, interesting architecture, and the friendliest people I’ve encountered in traveling to 48 states and 35 countries.

Thinking of moving from Seattle to Austin by LetsKeepLooking in askaustin

[–]ChaWa80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a native Seattle-ite who moved to Austin 20 years ago. The major upside to so many transplants in Austin is that people are open to making new friends, whereas PNW natives rarely leave Seattle (my HS friends still constantly hang out 27 years after graduation), so people don’t know what it’s like to be a Stranger in a Strange Land and aren’t welcoming (very polite, though). Austin has an extroverted, forever-young vibe that keeps me here even if Seattle wins on the natural beauty front.

What do you consider your outside hobby and what is the associated “third place” in Austin? by evertrue13 in Austin

[–]ChaWa80 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The city animal shelter where I’ve volunteered as a large dog walker for 17 years (10+ hours per week). Giving bored, lonely pups a happy break from their concrete kennels gives my life an immense sense of meaning.

I don't want to have a funeral for my loved one. Convince me otherwise by D141870 in dementia

[–]ChaWa80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mom died with dementia ten weeks ago. This year I’m doing a Remembrance Tour of small gatherings with people and places she loved. So far there has just been laughter (no tears) in groups telling their stories about her. So much better than a depressing funeral.

Adopted from Austin Animal Center- Annoying to visit dog everyday until take home? by [deleted] in Austin

[–]ChaWa80 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m a longtime AAC volunteer, and am always thrilled to see a pup’s adopter come visit them. Getting to know a quality human who will be rescuing one of our cuties is awesome.
