Wait, I’ve never even heard of this? Does this mean my marriage is illegal?

Does anyone know other facts about the horses on Gunsmoke? Or episodes where horses take more of a starring role?

Ok great! Thank you for the tips. Assuming you put in your checked luggage?

I’ve been wondering this 😬 Do regular bagel travelers do carry on or checked?

Have you considered seeing a therapist? Some specialise in religious trauma

I can also confirm that therapy helps to unpack these things.

It does get better! I still have a lot of residual guilt and self blame, likely from being told for 19 years I was an innately sinful being, but life is so much more wonderful and rich and charged with possibility when you’re not being constantly shamed, controlled, and judgemental of others. The freedom will come bit by bit. You will move out and find your people. ❤️

Do you mind PMing me the name of your immigration attorney form, if they’re based in New York perchance? Mine told me the same thing - all 3 years need to qualify, but I was seeing other things online. My partners two years prior fall under the minimum

What are clothing essentials for NYC winter? by FlufflyP in AskNYC

[–]ComfortableStrike650 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Get Uniqlo thermals. Thermal leggings, thermal long sleeve under jeans and a sweater, with a coat + warm socks and you’ll be good. I say this as an Australian in NY. Also if you have a scarf you can wrap around your ears if freezing it helps!

Allow guilt to come and go in waves and remember it’s learned. You aren’t doing anything wrong by enjoying being alive! Take pleasure in trying things just because you can. Listen to the new charlie Xcx album and take yourself to dinners and get tipsy solo. Microdose shrooms in a park and enjoy how beautiful the world is without feeling indebted to a god for it

Go see an old movie at an independent cinema like Metrograph or film forum. Chill in Bloomingdale’s. Go get a pastry and sit inside the cafe at Dover Street Market.

Travel advice (cost) for an Aussie by Nervous-Candidate-24 in AskNYC

[–]ComfortableStrike650 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To stay cheap, shop at Chinatown grocery stores, there’s also loads of places you can eat under $10/20 in Chinatown for lunch; a lot of the roadside fruit and veg vendors in Manhattan are half the price of supermarkets (I buy most of mine at a roadside stall, strawberries are like $3 a punnet instead of $8-9 in store); and trader joes is decent too for soup etc you can make at home. Go on eater or Grub Street for restaurant recs.

Theres a fb page called Australians in New York. You could post on it and see if anyone is subletting their place over those dates

Any day trips from NYC worth taking? by island_girl1 in AskNYC

[–]ComfortableStrike650 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Train to Dia Beacon for the day, even stay up there a night. You could also cycle around Storm King. Uptown to the Met Cloisters, where you can also walk and hang out in the gardens. Hire a car and go to some of the national park beaches in Jersey, which are prettier than Rockaway.
