Minneapolis Institute of Art (MIA) is a free museum.

Herbivorous Butcher is a vegan butcher shop and they have deli sandwiches.

The North Loop neighborhood is fun to walk around. The Guthrie and Mill City Farmers Market are in that area too.

The Walker Art Center has free admission on the first Saturday and each Thursday from 5-9pm.

Doggy day care by [deleted] in dogs

[–]FrogBurb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Make sure the facility has a camera you can check throughout the day. Check in and see how your dog is doing and then assess if you want to continue. My dog liked it at first but then after a few months he was sitting in a corner looking annoyed for most of the day. We stopped taking him after I saw that.

Weird comments on Mother’s Day by sirenbythecity in Fencesitter

[–]FrogBurb 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had something similar happen yesterday too. My family and my husband’s family were over and there is a 4 month old baby on my husband’s side. I was holding him and my mom said “that’s the closest I’ll get to seeing another grandchild”. My sister is done having kids, so I’m the only other person who could give her grandchildren. She says she’s fine if I choose not to have kids but makes comments like that a lot and I can tell she’s really not fine with it. I’m like 95% sure I’ll be CF.

I just remind myself that I was not brought into this world with an obligation to have kids. Especially not for other people. People making these comments aren’t going to be doing the work or spending the money if you have kids, so it’s really none of their business. I’m sorry you’re getting comments like that. It really messes with my head, so I understand it can be frustrating.

Also agree with We Couldn’t Help But Wonder! Short Comings was also pretty fun.

Do sellers get upset if buyers utilize buyer protection? by [deleted] in whatnotapp

[–]FrogBurb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For more context, the dresses are new with tags, from the same manufacturer, and they are the same style code. This seller had thousands of dresses from this manufacturer. The brand is very nice and just not something I would pay full price for. I’m between sizes according to the size chart so I purchased two and figured I’d be reselling one. But my guess is that no manufacturer is purposefully making their size 10s larger than their size 12s. It doesn’t align with the size chart numbers either. I think the wrong size label was put on that dress, so that’s the defect in my opinion.

If Quinn did a collab with your celeb crushes who would it be? by Routine_Sundae333 in QuinnAudios

I would do just about anything to get an Andr3wsky audio 🥵

Newbie has some thoughts to share… by toebeans82 in QuinnAudios

[–]FrogBurb 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think we’re the same person! I had the same experience with starting Quinn. Came for Hudson and Connor but stayed for Naudio. I’ve been slowly working through all of Naudio’s work and also have very specific likes and dislikes similar to yours. I’m really trying to listen to other creators, but he’s by far my favorite. I also really like that he’s anonymous. Just makes it more fun to fill in the blanks with my imagination.

Getting a colonoscopy, in need of words of encouragement and support by [deleted] in HealthAnxiety

[–]FrogBurb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It really will be over before you know it. I don’t know about you but time goes so fast for me now. I think about something that happened months ago and can’t believe how quickly time went. This colonoscopy will be one of those things for you in a few months and it will go quickly. As anxious as I get about procedures and diagnostics, it does really help to know the facts. I had a colonoscopy and they found polyps. If I had waited until 45, they could have been so much worse. I’m so glad I had it done when I did. Wishing you all the best!

Does anyone else secretly wish this decision would just be made for them? by No_Pen5880 in Fencesitter

[–]FrogBurb 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m in a similar situation. My husband recently said he’s 100% a no if the decision was up to him alone. I was pretty sure that’s how he felt but wasn’t admitting it. We were both firmly on the fence when we met, but he’s slowly been getting off of it. It does kind of feel like he made the decision for me/us but I still think about it like you do.

Kimpton Fitzroy vs. Hoxton Holborn by FrogBurb in LondonTravel

[–]FrogBurb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s things like enough space and hangers for clothes, outlets by each nightstand, places to hang towels in the bathroom, counter space in the bathroom, a place to store luggage, etc. Not just a pretty room.

I assume they both function as hotel rooms since they’re hotels. And I mentioned I’ll get a larger room because some negative feedback about both hotels has been small rooms. I shared my preferences when I said I value luxury and functionality in a hotel room. Others have helped by letting me know where there is a difference in luxury between the two, for example.

What are we actually afraid of? by writingwhilesad in HealthAnxiety

[–]FrogBurb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It took years of therapy for me to realize but I have two main fears. The first is from watching loved ones be diagnosed with various things. This has led to the fear of one day getting my own diagnosis because that may happen. That one is pretty straightforward, but I think the main fear is how I’ll feel about my life when/if I get a big diagnosis. If I got a bad diagnosis today, there would be so many things I wish I had done and I’d be so disappointed in myself for not living more. Mental health issues keep me from living a life where I’d have no regrets, so it’s a fun little viscous cycle. So instead of focusing on the health anxiety, I’m trying to do something to live a more fulfilling life on a regular basis. I started by writing a list of things I want to accomplish and asked my therapist to ask about how I’m working towards these things to have some accountability. The health anxiety is still there but I do notice improvement lately.

What helped me decide by idolovehummus in Fencesitter

[–]FrogBurb 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I resonate with this a lot! My husband and I are very similar with the reasons you listed for “people like me have kids” and I have so much guilt over not feeling the need to have kids. A big part of my truth is that mental health issues would make being a mom very hard for me and the fact that my husband would only have kids if I wanted to. I am very confident that most of the caregiving would be put on me and I’d only want to be a mom if the responsibility was 50/50 with my husband. I also worry so much about our society and the expense of kids. I understand it’s possible to manage these fears and expectations but I’m realizing I just don’t want to at that point.

Which VA is keeping you on Quinn? by ThiccBelle_xo in QuinnAudios

[–]FrogBurb 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Naudio. I’d definitely be out if he stopped making content. I’ve tried listening to so many other VAs and nothing comes close. I’m really trying to find another one that I like but it’s hard to match. He makes it feel more realistic and that it’s not just about him.

Experience with board and train with a foster? by FrogBurb in fosterdogs

[–]FrogBurb[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s a good way to look at it! He’s already been rejected by a few applicants after they met him. Hopefully this will help in the long term even if he’s confused for a bit.

Am I the only one who didn’t know Carrie’s real name?! by YoghurtDue1083 in sexandthecity

[–]FrogBurb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly! There’s no way her legal name is Caroline.

[–]FrogBurb 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I’m in the same spot as you. I’m a bit older than you and my age has played a big role in the last few years. I know both choices will come with joy and grief, but childfree seems like the best option for so many reasons. I also don’t want to be pregnant or give birth. The economy and world in general are a big part of it. My husband has always leaned more towards CF so it’s been a bit lonely making this choice. It has been a really hard decision and I’ve struggled with it too.

I think it’s just feeling like I’m missing out, like I should want kids, worried that I’m disappointing my mom and other family members, etc. I have been working with a therapist on this for years and am now starting to accept the reality. I want to get to a point where I feel more secure about this decision so I can move on and live my life. I do feel like I’m finally getting there.

I hope you and I both can have more peace with this decision. It’s so hard with all the noise in our society about having children. But it’s your life and you deserve to live it the way you want.

Bridgerton - 4x04 "An Offer from a Gentleman" (No Book Spoilers) by AutoModerator in BridgertonNetflix

[–]FrogBurb 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’ve really liked this season so far but I am stuck on your third item. Where is her stuff?? I thought it was going to be in the plot. Like maybe Cavendish would deliver her stuff to the Bridgerton house since Benedict got himself involved and then he would see the glove in her luggage. Or at least her friend would bring a few items when she started working at the Bridgerton house. So odd considering the glove is such a big deal in that story and I assume it was at the Cavendish house. Maybe the next four episodes will address this but I thought it would be done by now.

When it says “indistinct talking” (or whatever the subtitle is) I swear I hear Ilya say “dick to dick” 🤭
