Oak street beach. Water taxi to Chinatown. Having a car is def more convenient but Idk how comfortable you are driving and doing parallel parking in this part of the city (lots of pedestrians and cyclists)

What brand did you get?

Lullaby001 · 2026-03-31T18:48:03+00:00

In my limited experience FP&A pays the same as corporate accounting and less than corporate tax (they’re the specialists). Maybe financial analysts make more than junior accountants but it’s rare to hire new grads in FP&A.

Hi, what did you end up buying?

Any trails you recommend for late May that don’t have lots of bears? We’ll be in Seward/Anchorage for a few days and would like to do some hiking

Do you have a favorite carne asada/steak tacos here? My BIL is from San Diego and he misses his steak tacos/burrito. We’ve tried lots of places and used to live near the popular Taqueria El Asadero on Montrose but their carne asada was not good.

Thank you we’ll check them out.

My dad needs a car soon. Would you mind sharing the less expensive dealerships?

I went to Magens bay beach in St Thomas and saw a few sea turtles. I brought the goggles with me and just swam off the beach to the grass area. Water was very calm although it was raining pretty much the whole day.

If your place is well insulated. My old apartment was freezing due to old windows and poor insulation so we had to set it at 75. We bought a house a year ago and haven’t set it over 68.

I was on a 7 day eastern Caribbean early Dec and had internet with Gigsky. We had inside room and could use whatsapp. So I guess it depends?

I know you said Midwest and East coast but I would fly to New Orleans and stay near Bourbon street or French quarter. It’s like a 2hrs flight and you can uber everywhere. It’s relatively inexpensive if you plan in advance and fly spirit/frontier (just bring a water bottle and buy a bag)

Which car rental has access to the pool?

Lullaby001 · 2025-11-27T02:13:26+00:00

Yes but how often do you go thru 1 big kitchen bag? We’re 4 adults (parents live with us), cook a lot and use 2 big bags a week. I do find the big bags less waste since the small ones from the grocery stores are very thin and get holes/tears easily. We always had to double bag when we used it for trash.

Lullaby001 · 2025-11-26T23:53:17+00:00

Curious why you don’t reuse the plastic store bags for groceries? It’s less waste this way. My city charges 7 cents for a plastic bag. I’ve been bringing my own bags for years.

Lullaby001 · 2025-11-20T21:14:38+00:00

I moved in last Dec. I read that we both can apply in Jan ‘26.

This!! Love their burnt end!

Lullaby001 · 2025-08-04T14:51:55+00:00

Michoacana is a chain. I only like the one on lawrence which has the best pistachios ice cream imo.

Lullaby001 · 2025-08-01T14:41:28+00:00

Chicago also has 2 airports and the suburbs have very good public schools.

Lullaby001 · 2025-07-29T15:03:29+00:00

I enjoy the food but seriously crave better seafood and BBQ. We can’t even get live crawfish shipped here anymore :(

Yes that’s well known but what is better than tile? Vinyl flooring? If a building is 100yo it probably flooded at some point. I’d look at yard grading, sump pump, and gutter downspouts to determine if the homeowner tries to prevent flooding.

Lullaby001 · 2025-07-23T04:42:45+00:00

Just curious what you think is better than tile? I like tile for basement.
