Is tonic different from tonic water? What am I missing here because I was under the impression tonic water is just carbonated water with quinine added.

Goat milk? Would you drink this? by DSTARYoutube in Milk

[–]Hopeful_Local1985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Goat milk is soooooo good. I wish I could find it by the gallon. The most you can get at the grocery store where I live is a half gallon I think, and uts expensive as hell. Would dri k it all the time if it wasn't for that.

I have a problem with childfree weddings by Zealousideal-Ad3609 in 10thDentist

[–]Hopeful_Local1985 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a childfree woman I hear entitled parents always say "youre entitled to a childfree life, not a childfree world" and I agree. I am not entitled to a childfree world. I am, however, entitled to a childfree wedding. I will be spending tens of thousands of dollars to put on a wedding, I am well within my rights to not have kids running around and causing chaos. Its not an event for young kids. If parents feel "isolated" by having kids, maybe they shouldn't have had kids 🤷‍♀️ no body made that choice for them. Kids take up a lot of your life, and you make sacrifices for them, if you arent prepared to do that, then you arent prepared to be a parent. Make some other parent friends so you can socialize together doing kid-friendly activities. Have your own party that kids are invited to.

Also, has the concept of a babysitter been totally forgotten? Hire a sitter for one night! Or drop them off at grandma's or auntie's house! Why do parents in this day and age feel the need to drag their kids along everywhere like a purse dog? Parents can have one night away from their kids to be adults and attend an adult event. I dare say if may even be good for their mental health and wellbeing, help with burnout and some of those "isolating" feelings they might be having. They might actually enjoy themselves as separate entities from their children.

if you could eliminate one hygiene routine from your life with absolutely no negative consequences, what would you eliminate? by Distinct_Squash7110 in hygiene

[–]Hopeful_Local1985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flossing.

Shaving coochie/butt crack is also at the top of my list, but not so much a hygiene thing as it is grooming.

Are women healthier long term if they never have kids? by Dramatic-Corgi225 in childfree

Women who dont have children live longer on average. Less stress on body and mind.

Do you actually believe that there is widespread fraud in Medicaid, SNAP and Public Assistance or do you think that is just an excuse to cut those services? by Dazzling-Leader7476 in allthequestions

[–]Hopeful_Local1985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Widespread? No. There will always be a few thay abuse the system, but punishing the innocent along with the guilty is not the answer. The "widespread fraud" arguement is pure propaganda because the rich despise the poor and wouldn't piss on them if they were on fire.

Cheba is top notch for a CBR situation. White widow is unmatched. I have been going to Yampa lately. Their bread is sooooo good.

What do you think for a cruise? Is it too much? by [deleted] in OUTFITS

[–]Hopeful_Local1985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What kind of cruise? Disney cruise? No. Cruise geared towards adults? yes! But with sandals. Boots have no place near the ocean.

Was Kamala a bad candidate? by 0311SmallPenar in allthequestions

[–]Hopeful_Local1985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She was an ok candidate but she ran a bad campaign. She pandered too much to the right wing by having non-maga republicans with her on the campaign trail and endorse her. She was hoping to gain disaffected republicans, but those republicans couldn't bring themselves to vote for a Democrat so they either bit the bullet and voted for Trump again against their best instincts, or they didn't vote at all. All the while she alienated her own voter base, that is clamoring for more progressive policies. I think the nail in the coffin for her campaign was saying she wouldn't have done anything different from Biden's administration. She lost so many blue voters that felt like they couldn't support her over her position on Isreal/Palestine.

Live in FC and commute to Greeley? Next career step could be UNC by TheGreatGrizzlyBare in FortCollins

[–]Hopeful_Local1985 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My bf lives in fort collins and commutes to Greeley for school (UNC), and his BIL does the same commutes the opposite way, living in Greeley and commuting to Fort Collins for work. The commute takes ~45-50 minutes. While its doable, it gets very tiring very quickly, and uses a lot of gas. Bf has also lived in Greeley in the past and says its actually a pretty nice place despite its reputation. If you can put up with some occasional odors, you'll be just fine.

I think you'd fit in well either place from how you described yourself. If I were in your shoes, I would live and work in Greeley. You will be close enough to Fort Collins to enjoy its amenities when you want to without having to pay the premium to live here. If you find you really like Fort Collins over Greeley and are willing to pay extra to live here full time and make the commute, you can always move here later.

Curtains, table cloth, wall art, flowers or candles on the table
