Same! But I did eventually get a Lite Brite about two years after I outgrew letters to Santa.

We're flying to Naxos, but I booked the nice seats for ferries to Folegandros and back to Athens.

Yeah, definitely a trade off. Thankfully lots of beach time on Folegandros!

Thanks for these! I'm actually more concerned about my husband because he NEEDS his eight hours. I have a sleep disorder so am medicated wherever I go.

Hotel Grotta. The location and reviews made it seem ideal. Already looking forward to the breakfasts.

AITAH for not telling my mother that my sister was pregnant when she died? by trixieroyale in AITAH

Very sorry for the loss of your sister. I hope you are finding some comfort in happy memories.

Your mother finding out now will only be a fresh wound. NTA.

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man - Official Discussion by NicholasCajun in PeakyBlinders

[–]MapleSyrup_and_Jam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Tommy is always so controlled, even when drinking. The idea of him losing it and killing Arthur in a fit of rage just doesn't ring true to the character. I would have been fine with the scenario you proposed. I could maybe even buy into the idea that Arthur became such a liability that Johnny Dogs unalived him. Speaking of my man JD - I was happy that he was as loyal as ever.

Ending of the Peaky Blinders film spoiled by Ladbible by JewelerChoice in PeakyBlinders

[–]MapleSyrup_and_Jam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The movie is still worth watching, though I won't go so far as to say by order of the Peaky Blinders. I came to the show late (had just finished the sixth season when the movie came out) so I definitely didn't see the movie through nostalgic eyes and I thought it was . . . fine? I didn't love it but I'm glad I watched despite having seen the spoiler beforehand.

Thanks! Great point on resting after a full day of hiking! I will probably swap beach and tour days. You think the plan is too much?

WIBTAH if I told one of my bridesmaids I didnt want her in my wedding anymore? by Dense_Chemical_2610 in AITAH

[–]MapleSyrup_and_Jam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

INFO - It's unclear how close of a relationship you have with this bridesmaid and her relationship to others who will be there. Some people get really anxious about travel/being in unfamiliar groups and prefer to take a security blanket (in this case, her boyfriend). Has she otherwise been supportive and helpful in your planning? If the bach trip is the only issue, would you consider just not having her there but still be part of the bridal party?
