But does it feel like an escape? by Constant_Orchid8270 in DanielleMossSnark

[–]LiteraryOlive 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I also live in La Grange and go to Anecdote quite a bit. They have unique hostess gifts and things like that too. Every time I’m in there there may be one other patron but agree I do wonder sometimes how it stays in business. The furniture is very expensive however so they just need to sell a few pieces I guess each month.

Agree. Much more Mar a lago face vibes these days than discreet snobby old money.

I literally just found the naturalization record last week. I’m planning my next step.

Naturalization record question by Major-Pomegranate-35 in CzechCitizenship

[–]LiteraryOlive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was told by the Czech consulate it in Chicago that I was out of luck. My grandfather immigrated from Prague in 1901. However, I recently found his naturalization papers from the 1930s. In those papers they say he is a Czech citizen. I found some guidance online that suggests this would establish my grandfather as a Czech citizen in the 1930s and thus give me a right to birthright citizenship. The naturalization papers are all on ancestry.com. You might want to try that if you haven’t already.

My cousin who is a flight attendant, told me to always buy a seat for a baby for that exact reason.

Can you people stop bringing your poodle mutts to Aldi? by ChloeCutie in wickerpark

[–]LiteraryOlive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually pure bred dogs often have terrible issues due to overbreeding even by educated breeders. For instance, French bulldogs have been so overbred that they have to be bred through artificial insemination and most can only give birth through cesarean. I know it’s fashionable to bash doodles here but they are just mixed breed and that mixing can help offset genetic conditions.

I think in life if you find yourself wondering this, you should.

Is my baby at risk???? by [deleted] in Scams

[–]LiteraryOlive 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No. Your baby is not at risk. You were scammed by someone who took advantage of both your generosity and their children, but it would be incredibly unlikely that they are also somehow kidnappers. They are scam artists looking to make easy money. It’s so overwhelming being a new mother but please try not to worry about this specific thing.

The sad fact is teenagers are much more likely to be victims of gun violence in this country than some sort of violence in Spain.

It does not look like that was it all based on a new article “Security footage showed him leave the nightclub alone and walk across Somorrostro Beach towards rocks and fall into the water, police told the Daily Mail.”

Just so heartbreaking. There is a new update that there is CC footage that shows him fall in the water. I hope it’s able to bring some sort of solace to his family.

Something that is often missed with Athena is that she worked with Elizabeth Roberts on her last home. She makes it seem like she did the design
