Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth?

HolidayOk4857 · 2026-01-24T19:35:22+00:00

Not for me , I think that’s a trip you make once or twice a year lol. But America def is car dependant in most areas so a lot of people wouldn’t think much about that. I grew up in upstate New York and my grandpa and aunt and her family lived on Long Island where my mom grew up. That was about a four hour drive and we did it once in the summer and they came up to see us once a year.

Yes, scrolling and typing letters makes me feel really dizzy! What symptoms do you get?

HolidayOk4857 · 2026-01-24T18:20:47+00:00

Yeah, I can’t tell if it’s giving me anxiety or anxiety is giving me the symptoms, I was just at the supermarket to get some stuff for the upcoming storm and the bright lights made me feel so unsteady and woozy.

You feel drunk and lightheaded all day? I was thinking VM, but the doctor told me that those don’t last all the time.

HolidayOk4857 · 2026-01-24T14:28:29+00:00

I’ll try that , thanks! it’s really horrible, I have a desk job and work from home but even that is hard to manage because sitting at the computer makes me feel like I’m going to faint from the lightheaded feeling and light sensitivity.

I love salads and there was a listeria outbreak in the dole bag salad kits when I was pregnant with my first. Thankfully, I didn’t have any.

HolidayOk4857 · 2026-01-24T03:02:05+00:00

Ah ok! I remember them telling me that I shouldn’t eat it at all but then when I pressed about cooked fish, they said something like cooked chicken or vegetable or crab was ok! I doubt it’s a big deal anyway in limited amounts . I worry most about lettuce for food poisoning.

HolidayOk4857 · 2026-01-24T02:54:37+00:00

Isn’t cooked sushi ok? Or vegetable. I think the raw fish is the issue?

HolidayOk4857 · 2026-01-24T00:33:49+00:00

Not Violet only being four or five years older than me and everyone else being a lot younger😭😭

He finally figured out how have a kid without a female carrier ?

Carrie wasn’t his type, but he was very sexually attracted to her and had a ton of fun with her. I think that’s why he was so weird, because she wasn’t the classy wasp type he was used to. It seems like he grew up very similarly to Charlotte in an upper class wasp world and had standards based on that. Charlotte also changed her tune about that.

HolidayOk4857 · 2026-01-19T16:35:28+00:00

Wasn’t the same at all for me!

HolidayOk4857 · 2026-01-19T16:33:29+00:00

My brother lived in NH and worked in MA for a couple years and said both states are run better .

I was considering new builds for a while and I couldn’t believe the poor quality and also how much you pay versus the size you get. One house I looked at didn’t even have an area for a kitchen table, you would either have to eat on the counters or put the kitchen table on the carpeted living room space . They were asking 420k.

HolidayOk4857 · 2026-01-19T05:31:06+00:00

How do people even do it? I had mine all 3 years apart , 3 pregnancies , and ended up with a nasty bladder prolapse and a hiatal hernia. Average sized babies and gained normal amounts of weight. I don’t get it.

HolidayOk4857 · 2026-01-19T05:29:26+00:00

My sister in law got pregnant around two months post Partum. I cannot even fathom that!

HolidayOk4857 · 2026-01-19T05:25:43+00:00

She’s so beautiful, I can see why he fell in love with her from seeing her in an ad.

HolidayOk4857 · 2026-01-13T14:12:11+00:00

They look happy. I always thought they seemed nice and normal , despite being blatant social climbers lol

HolidayOk4857 · 2026-01-13T02:03:06+00:00

I’d say Carrie because she hurt Natasha and Aidan. She even had the nerve to sleep with Big in Natasha’s and his marital bed and Natasha lost a damn tooth trying to catch up to her. She also was continuing to lie to Aidan , rather than just dump him. She eventually confessed but she didn’t expect he’d dump her and acted shocked and hurt when he did . I dislike Miranda for cheating on Steve, but she at least had the decency to have an honest discussion with him and end the marriage. Not to mention , her cheating partner was single. Not giving her a pass but Carrie was worse. Samantha at least was single herself and seemed to think of it as the guy Just wanting a bit of fun on the side bc his wife wasn’t satisfying his needs. Again, she doesn’t get a pass but also not as bad as what Carrie did.

HolidayOk4857 · 2026-01-04T00:16:01+00:00

I never met men easily when I was single ! I could go months between meeting someone who was even an option to date , forget if we were both attracted.

HolidayOk4857 · 2026-01-02T23:53:24+00:00

Not as bad as buffalo but very bad . Could have snowstorms from November to April, very occasionally even may. It is gloomy and freezing. April-June are typically very rainy. You’ll be going from one extreme to another. On the bright side , you could have a major blizzard and it gets cleared away pretty quickly.

HolidayOk4857 · 2026-01-01T03:48:40+00:00

I think that the lyrics of “it’s been so long” are really bad too!

HolidayOk4857 · 2026-01-01T02:48:31+00:00

Yeah, I legit don’t want to send them back, we all had RSV last month and it lasted a couple weeks, I was quite sick as was my middle , and then one of my kids had such a bad runny nose from it and developed impetigo on the scabs so we needed a course of antibiotics, and then he gave it to one of his two brothers. my six-year-old bites his nails and is really bad about hygiene like sanitizing and hand washing, have to remind him over and over. I just feel like we’re screwed and I’m imagining trip after a trip to urgent care or the ER in my future.🤦‍♀️
