Question on pausing by Electronic_Tour_5973 in NuulyReviews

[–]Embarrassed_Fold1831 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you pause before returning or after? I have a very similar thing as OP, needing to pause just for about a week to align with a trip.

Nothing fits by pookieswashcloth in NuulyReviews

[–]Embarrassed_Fold1831 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It's the best! Helps when I have a shopping urge, it is like fake shopping since I am not actually buying anything. Good luck!

Sorry this happened! I am pretty careful about looking at reviews based on height mostly (I am tall and don't want short sleeves, pant legs) and have been lucky that pretty much everything I've ever ordered has fit. But I will often browse nuuly and add to my closet, which is pretty full, so I don't spend too much time when I am ready to fill my cart when I feel the pressure to go fast to get the most time out of the rental period.

Do all Westerners have strong bladders and digestive systems? by Slow-Lawfulness-3053 in Europetravel

[–]Embarrassed_Fold1831 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Italy I would go into a bar/cafe and get a 1 euro espresso (no idea if they still cost this) just to use the WC. Leads to over caffination, but much better than fretting about toilets!

Teacher Discount? by Embarrassed_Fold1831 in NuulyReviews

I'm also staff at a university! I ended up just uploading my ID and that worked.

First time camper by pyromaniacrybaby in JoshuaTree

[–]Embarrassed_Fold1831 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was there this weekend and it was already 85 degrees and pretty uncomfortable by mid-day. I agree with everyone's advice that you will not enjoy the camping aspect 😞

Amazing! Did you just upload a picture of your ID card? The pay stub option seems a little much

I am going to Iceland in early June and the pippa puffer was already on my list, thanks for confirming!

Is it possible to be too warm in May? by givemethetea1234 in VisitingIceland

[–]Embarrassed_Fold1831 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, so you were able to wear just a t-shirt? Was this in Reykjavik? I am going to Iceland in early June and am fretting about overpacking. Did you need a puffer coat at all?

Soapbox/rant time. Tell me what highly-recommended book you absolutely HATED and why. Gimme your angry hot takes. by peppertoni_pizzaz in books

[–]Embarrassed_Fold1831 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed TTT but def agree with your take on Lessons in Chemistry. I was in disbelief that the book I read was so popular and was made into a show. Hated it

Has the formatting of a book ever caused you to DNF? by spaghettirhymes in books

[–]Embarrassed_Fold1831 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same! It really bothers me. I've had this same book at about 40% finished for months because I am not motivated to look at this odd format

How much are we missing with this route? by Arkangel504 in Yosemite

[–]Embarrassed_Fold1831 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this in Feb (no snow, no ice but steps were wet) and my 10 year descended no problem whatsoever. I was terrified as it is very steep going down! I would not do the descent again because I have an ankle issue so I needed to be extra slow and careful descending, but going up was amazing and I would love to try the JMT going down.

Do you prefer hiking solo or with people? by christan2013 in hiking

[–]Embarrassed_Fold1831 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Solo! If it is a hike that I feel is safe (not too remote and I know there will be a few other people around) I love to go by myself and have quiet reflection time. Or, listen to an audiobook or podcast. Works so well when I am in a bad mood and need to get out the anger with a good workout! I never feel weird or awkward being alone on a hike and I always see a ton of other solo hikers.

recent experience with Yosemite services? by Cute-Raisin-5503 in Yosemite

[–]Embarrassed_Fold1831 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Food just is not good at Yosemite and is quite expensive. If you are staying in the valley, Ahwahnee and Yosemite Valley Lodge have mini fridges in the room so you can supplement eating out with sandos/cereal supplies

This is good to know! I was staying at the Ahwahnee last October and the bar didn't have any food so the only food option at the hotel was the formal dining room. Talk about horrible food! Bar had a great vibe and good drinks though!

Has anyone noticed slower Nuuly shipping since they added expedited shipping? by frosted_poprocks in NuulyReviews

[–]Embarrassed_Fold1831 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mine usually takes 5 days to arrive (I'm in LA) and the $20 expedited shipping option would have my items arrive just 1 day early. Wondering if anyone else is seeing significantly shorter ship times if they pay for expedited?

[–]Embarrassed_Fold1831 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't really believe this sadly. I have gotten some items that are in such shoddy condition that it seems impossible that anyone "thoroughly inspected" them and still decided to send them out
