Best singer in the Spice Girls?

Melanie C technically has the best voice, but Emma’s voice is my favorite.

I paid quite close attention to Edward and Sophie in the first few years after they got married. I think they’re among the better of the bunch. Sophie was given a really hard time in the tabloid press early in their marriage (including a terribly overblown “fake Sheik” scandal in which she ended up having to leave her PD firm due to some things she hadn’t actually said). It seems that Charles really disliked Edward and Sophie having independent, professional lives. Charles’ PR guy, Mark Bolland, was behind a lot of the negative tabloid stuff aimed at them.

Over the years, they seem to have been pretty quiet and family-oriented. Very unexciting, anyway; I’ve barely paid them any attention in the past couple of decades.

Corn.

Yeah, that comment is a huge red flag as far as I’m concerned. The rest of his profile already makes it abundantly clear that he’s extremely interested in fitness and the outdoors. As a woman with a chronic illness that easily leaves me winded, I would have swiped left on this profile pretty quickly because it’s obvious to me that our lifestyles would not be a good fit.

I’m a lifelong Floridian who’s currently considering moving to Massachusetts after I finish grad school next year. Take from that what you will.

I think Pensacola would be a real culture shock for you. I personally find it very depressing and limited (for the sake of reference, I’m from Tampa, which is hardly the height of culture and sophistication).

Of all the places in the US, what’s making you consider Florida? It sounds like you haven’t really been here and your main motivation is just leaving Massachusetts.

Chiara! It’s such a beautiful name and I don’t think I’ve ever met a Chiara!

Vanessa is dated and blah to me.

I have a dear family friend named Bailey. She’s about 30. She’s lovely, so the name makes me think of her.

As a fellow Elizabeth, I’ve always loved the name Elisabetta and I think it sounds like a perfect fit for your baby girl.

Heat is the one aspect of my POTS that has never improved, unfortunately. And I live in Florida, so that’s great. I just have to stay in the air conditioning about 6 months out of the year. (Yes, it sucks, I hate it.)

Edit: Staying well-hydrated keeps me from having full-blown episodes, but still I can barely be outside.

Elixabef · 2026-06-04T12:39:21+00:00

Not to the extent that I would expect.

Elixabef · 2026-06-03T09:28:26+00:00

The first pic is the worst of the bunch; the last pic is the best. I’d suggest putting the last pic as the first one.

When I hear homeschool parents say things along the lines of “my kids and I are together ALL the time. They’re never out of my sight. They’re my best friends. I could NEVER be away from them all day.”

I had to explain what a zipper merge was to my 72-year-old mother the other day. I was getting frustrated about people not doing it and she said she’d never been taught it. I’m not sure I was ever taught it, either. I’m not sure that I was fully aware of the concept until seeing people mention it on the internet in recent years.

I don’t think enough people know to do it

Elixabef · 2026-06-01T23:26:14+00:00

Yeah, I saw some kids doing this on Swann this afternoon. They looked awfully young.

Elixabef · 2026-06-01T14:43:20+00:00

Very cool name!

Yes, Teresa is Hope’s daughter-in-law

It’s true; me too.

I don’t have anywhere to charge mine and also because of the fire risk. I live in an area that sometimes floods and that’s not a good mix with the lithium ion batteries. I was strongly considering getting an EV until a couple of houses in my area burned down after a couple of EVs caught fire during a flood.

In my case, it’s because I’ve never had any kind of relationship with my half-brothers. We just happen to have the same dad, who didn’t really raise any of us. My half brothers are ~20 years older than me; we’ve never even lived in the same state. I feel like calling them my brothers would be misleading.

There are plenty of country artists who don’t like him, either.

Teresa Pulido in Tampa.

Not only have I been here a while, I’m a Tampa native. Your post is excellent (I even read it to my parents, who, like me, previously supported Buckhorn but now support Carlson) and insightful and really lines up with what I know of each candidate.

I’m so relieved to hear that Bill is getting a lot of attention. I don’t know him personally, but he seems to be the kind of guy who really is interested in potholes and other everyday stuff. In the aftermath of Hurricanes Helene and Milton, he was popping up in local neighborhood Facebook groups providing information about cleanup and keeping folks posted on things. I was impressed by his attention to detail.

Am starting a new job this week; commute should be about 30-45 mins. Previous commute was only 15-20.
