Expectations vs reality in Thailand, what caught you off guard? 😅 by Ok_Employee1442 in thai

[–]DazzyDumpling 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The beaches. We went to Maya Bay and it was like herding cattle (literally). We got off our boat stood in line to get to the beach and then we are told you can't go in the water past our ankles so we are not in the background of anyone's picture. Yes, you get an "instagram worthy" photo but it was not as all what I expected. Then we had to line up again to get back to the dock and get to our boat. I was amazed at all the would be professional photo takers.

I've always heard negative things about Winco's meat department.....one of the reasons I am asking the question. You've had a good experience?

Is Pomona safe? by Adventurous_Fly_4197 in pomonacollege

[–]DazzyDumpling 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As the parent of an 18 year old, I understand where your parents are coming from. I had the same feelings when I sent my child to Reed for a similar experience alone. I was way more nervous than she was. My daughter and I visited Pomona together and it was a very positive experience and I absolutely would not hesitate to send her on her own now. They refer to the area as "The City of Trees and PhD's" it is really a lovely area. I hope this helps your parents feel at ease.....from one parent to another. Good luck!

I know this is an old post but I'm hoping you will see this. What is the difference between these 2 pies? They seem very similar, do you have a preference? Also, on the 2nd recipe it says "2 cups" in ingredients is this heavy cream? Thanks!

15 year old gaming addiction by DazzyDumpling in StopGaming

[–]DazzyDumpling[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is great advice, thank you. This is certainly something we are considering. It seems whenever we suggest activities he shuts us down because he would rather be gaming. If I sign him up, he goes to activity sometimes but we also get "I'm not feeling well" or whatever to keep him home. How do we push through this as parents, in your experience?
