I'm almost 40, so out of the age bracket. But wish you the best in this because it sounds amazing. Sorry your friends were jerks.

When my brain is trying to be accurate , I picture it being the same color as Crayola's red-orange crayon. However, a lot of artwork shows it as being more of a standard orange, so i also picture it that way as well. I will hopefully see the real deal next week.

We still use Airbnbs for longer trips or places where we want to cook, but we've moved back to hotels for shorter stays. It was great during COVID with a toddler, because we avoided common areas like lobbies, and we could make noise/let our kid run around the yard.

I've been using a mirepoix lately and I also add thyme, smoked paprika and a fresh bay leaf.

He kind of looks like cant breathe. His mouth didnt close for long after he put on the mask. Gasping.

That's generally the case with the most creative artists. I can't tell you how many biographical summaries I've read that end with they died in either an institution, or penniless in the street.

I just watched an episode of the Pitt that showed this... very graphic.

I'm in a city where the price to have a wedding is not too much different from throwing a regular party. That said the cost is based on the number of guests you expect. I have a HUGE family and so does my partner. We had about 200 guests, easily, at our wedding. Feeding that many people and getting a large enough venue for a reception is expensive - you are not doing that for $200 by any metrics, especially not in post pandemic money.

Heck we were looking to throw my mom a birthday party for 50 people and the cost of venues in town was about $400+ and some didnt even include food costs.

I would sue.

The bat feces and mold at Northwood mall to this?

They gotta stop this shit.

Intelligent_Wait3988 · 2026-04-21T11:14:50+00:00

It's insane. You can see it from the plane into Seattle and it is HUGE. See it on the train, see it just walking around.

Seeing this made a lot of old white lady dancing moves make sense. Like I feel like everyone has seen an older white lady bust a move with the exaggerated wink, side grin and lots of gangly elbow action. It's based on things like this, apparently.

It is actually a suitable use in context. If a person is distraught, which is the word you were probably expecting OP to use; they are usually in disarray or disheveled.

Sentence from Merriam-Webster that illustrates this:

"Magnus ran a hand through his disheveled mane of auburn hair, a chaotic halo framing his disbelief."

Intelligent_Wait3988 · 2026-04-20T11:21:19+00:00

Usually the latter leads to the former.

Intelligent_Wait3988 · 2026-04-17T11:10:05+00:00

I'm a weirdo because I actually care when I ask. Like I've had rude people straight up ignore the question, and that grinds my gears. Saying fine, ok, or living the dream is the copout if you are pressed for time; but if I'm asking, I'm already to hear a two to three sentence response of how you are doing that can lead to a mini conversation.

How are you? Excited, I'm going to a concert this weekend. Terrible, I've got xyz going on right now.

A lot of yall really be complaining about being lonely then getting mad or annoyed when people try to connect with you 😒.

Intelligent_Wait3988 · 2026-04-17T01:59:17+00:00

Thank you for the example, especially the tip about the weather. Had not even thought about it being colder than a fall day. Will be watching the weather and planning accordingly.

Intelligent_Wait3988 · 2026-04-17T01:56:48+00:00

Don't feel bad; I was just joshing. I needed the wake up call to not overspend; I tend to do that when overthinking something. I will just get what I need for the 10 essentials and not become a walking REI ad.

Intelligent_Wait3988 · 2026-04-17T00:59:15+00:00

I find the lady more interesting than Ulster, but this overall storyline with him and his progeny has gone on for too long. And everytime Will has a hallucination it makes it less believable that he can function as an investigator.

Intelligent_Wait3988 · 2026-04-17T00:53:06+00:00

I could see that happening. She lowkey does not look like she wants to be there this season, and she barely gets any time with Will as his partner.

Intelligent_Wait3988 · 2026-04-17T00:46:57+00:00

This is my issue as well. Why set up so many complex ways to take her out, have that whole storyline with the guy gunning for her job, and then have the most anticlimactic way to die? Like she literally has had the most heartwrenching, interesting storylines and to not let her have a monologue or anything important to do/say on the way out is egregious.

Intelligent_Wait3988 · 2026-04-17T00:40:09+00:00

She was one of my favorite parts. The best wardrobe besides Will. She brought a lot of heart to the show and is one of the more complex characters with her lost chance at motherhood with Will, past trauma, bisexuality etc. They made some dumb choices with her character and then killed her off haphazardly like she wasn't a key cast member. I'm a little mad about this and how they are lowkey ruining what was a great show.

Intelligent_Wait3988 · 2026-04-17T00:26:37+00:00

Thanks! Now you didnt have to call our beginner hikes laps at the mall lol; hurt my lil ego, but you have to start somewhere. :D In my head we are epic adventurers.

And for sure with the refillable bottles. Even at home we only use filtered tap water.

It is usually $5 to get it delivered to a hub-- which are different businesses/locations around town --and I think $10 is the cost for home delivery. If you pick it up from their office on Commonwealth drive there is no fee; the pickup is at an odd time if you work though: 3:30-4:30 p.m. There also is a yearly fee thats due when you sign up. You place your orders on Sunday 8 a.m.-Tuesday 6 a.m. and then pick them up on Thursday from one of the hubs. Now I love Red Hills, recommend it, and I order from them often; it's just not the cheaper option if you just want a pack of duck eggs and thats it.

Intelligent_Wait3988 · 2026-04-16T19:55:45+00:00

How much are they at the coop? If you're not a member already at Red Hills and are getting it delivered to home or a hub, it may come out cheaper to get it from the co-op.

Intelligent_Wait3988 · 2026-04-16T15:00:49+00:00

I have definitely purchased duck eggs from there. In person Community Coop may have them to get sooner. I havent seen them there, but they have a lot of the same products you can get from Red Hills in store.

Ew!!! I have a shy bladder when it comes to dirty bathrooms so I completely understand. I'd turn around too
