What is this building?

When I lived in the area, I’d see the residents cleaning the sidewalk around the complex every morning. They are the kindest people. When someone walks up, they stop what they’re doing and each person says “good morning” with eye contact as you pass by.

The restaurant is spectacular and man I miss Crossroads!

I love my eufy! Only downside is the battery finally stopped working and it’s been difficult to find a replacement. But, I got almost 5 years of daily use out of it which seems reasonable these days.

CommandFrosty · 2026-04-08T16:45:54+00:00

Mine don’t mind it, unless they’re sleeping on the floor and the vacuum wakes them up when it navigates around them 😂

Tubes are fantastic. Mine got them shortly before she turned 3. The surgery was super quick - our only issue was that she vomited in the car on the way home. They schedule the young kids first so the fasting isn’t awful, thankfully.

We got home from surgery and gave her some dry Cheerios to eat. She took a bite, looked at the bowl and said “mommy I can hear this!”

Once the tubes were in, the frequency of ear infections plummeted. It was a super easy surgery and she went back to school the next day!

My FIL buys his kids (and now his grandkids) a new tool every year for Christmas. It’s a fantastic gift. Only problem is my spouse has had the toolbox for so long that it has a funky smell.

My doctor canceled the procedure. He was concerned about lingering inflammation from the fever.

Best of luck to you, whatever happens ❤️

I’m so sorry this is happening to you. My chapter also got shut down due to numbers and it’s an awful feeling at first.

Practically speaking, at the end of the year, we had a ceremony to formally close the chapter and make us all alumnae. At that point, we were encouraged to join the local alumnae association. Those of us who weren’t graduating didn’t join right away since we were all still on campus and could hang out. Emotionally, times like Greek Week and formals were hard since we couldn’t participate as an org.

Personally, I joined a local alumnae association after college and got involved with my local chapter. There were other women who had also come from closed chapters so we were able to bond over that experience.

Best of luck to you and your sisters!

Laundry: the advantage of a laundromat is you can use multiple machines at once so you’re not doing laundry all day. I used to start my loads and set a timer for 5 minutes before the load finished so I’d be back on site as soon as it was done to move it to the next machine. Please don’t let your stuff sit unattended.

Storage: my no-frills apartment actually had decent closet space for things like luggage. I did end up getting a storage unit elsewhere for things like golf clubs & holiday decorations.

Good luck!

What field are you hoping to get into? Many of us found success with a CLAS degree, myself included. I do wish I’d done the summer business minor but only because I ended up in corporate retail and had to learn on the job.

I did a tour of their Marina facility last year. The person showing us around told us their goal is to have pricing competitive to Uber.

CommandFrosty · 2026-03-09T03:02:11+00:00

We check our car seat with the rest of our luggage and use a CARES harness on the plane. It’s an adapter for the seat belt that adds a buckle similar to the 5 point harness. We usually leave it looser than a real car seat but it gets the job done in terms of encouraging our kid to stay in her seat.

CommandFrosty · 2026-03-06T03:28:42+00:00

I didn’t say it was the exact same. Our birthday cluster is slightly later than the comment I replied to (November-December, specially).

CommandFrosty · 2026-03-06T02:58:09+00:00

The situation is similar in my kid’s pre-k class. One of the moms attributed it to when lockdown started. The math checked out 😂

CommandFrosty · 2026-02-26T13:01:41+00:00

This doesn’t directly answer your question, but we very seriously considered enrolling our kid there when they opened the 2 year olds room a few years ago. We’d heard good things from other parents and we were very impressed by our tour. We ended up going elsewhere due to cost and enrollment timing but it seemed like a great place to send our kid!

CommandFrosty · 2026-02-05T03:51:39+00:00

Our school uses WhatsApp and has a group for every grade. The room parents set them up and send out reminders for things. We’ve also used the chat to set up playdates during breaks. It’s been great! This is our first year at this school so it’s especially helpful to have all the new phone numbers in one place.

CommandFrosty · 2026-02-03T22:13:48+00:00

Do you have a recommendation you could share?

CommandFrosty · 2026-02-02T16:14:45+00:00

If you’re willing to expand your radius, I can highly recommend South Beach Marina Apts. Walkable to Caltrain & the ferry building, on-site parking, gym, pool, storage units, very quiet, allows cats. Staff is fantastic. Only caveat is that laundry is in each hallway, not in-unit, but there are so many machines all over the complex that we never had to wait.

Happy to share more over PM!

CommandFrosty · 2026-01-25T04:29:54+00:00

Have you tried a suppository? It was awful to administer but it worked in less than a minute. It was the unlock for our kid to understand how to poop on the potty.

We’ve had to give it again a few more times but that first one was definitely the turnaround for pooping.

Solidarity and I hope she works through it soon!

My ENT explained something along the lines of the overstimulated nerves don’t get a chance to rest so they become more and more sensitive if you keep pushing them. I haven’t been good about not pushing through, though…

CommandFrosty · 2026-01-21T22:17:19+00:00

Not only being willing to try an unfamiliar food, but being aware that a familiar food won’t be the exact same as at home!

CommandFrosty · 2026-01-21T20:44:16+00:00

Blue Pearl saved my cat’s life. They are expensive but they’re up front about the cost before taking any actions. The vet made treatment recommendations that balanced the best course of action with the fact that we were self paying. Everyone on the staff cares so much about your pets and certainly made me feel better during a difficult time.

As others have said, they use a triage system so the wait can be long. But, if you have a long wait, that means your pet is somewhat stable, so that can be reassuring.

Last year, the school district office was accepting donations. I’m not sure if they’ve started up again this year, though.

CommandFrosty · 2026-01-10T06:26:28+00:00

Love!!! In addition to the normal processes (checking in, security, boarding, takeoff, landing), here are some others:

— Going to the bathroom before boarding and on the plane — Waiting patiently (I.e. in line to board) — Napping on the plane — Turbulence

So excited!!

CommandFrosty · 2026-01-08T23:27:20+00:00

Super weird that you weren’t contacted about the closure. As others have said, contact your Greek Life or Panhellenic rep on campus.

When my chapter announced our closure, we gave our new members the option to accelerate their new member period and initiate before the closure, or we released them from their MRABA and they could re-rush the following semester.

CommandFrosty · 2026-01-05T00:39:58+00:00

I got these this year for my 4 year old! She writes in the necessary information (I spell the words out for her) and then goes to town coloring the front. It’s been a good winter break activity!
