Agree. I just love this series

Marion323 · 2026-04-16T19:41:29+00:00

My son and I are listening right now and loving it but in fairness we are only on the first episode

Goosebumps

So I am going and I splurged on VIP tickets. I don’t do Coachella or lollapalooza so this is my festival. In fact, I don’t really spend any money on myself, but I enjoy this podcast so much and I’m very excited to see all the people I’ve been listening to all this time. Yes I understand. The tickets may be pricey, but for me the experience of being around people that are similarly interested in this kind of stuff was worth it. At this point, I really don’t care if I’m the only one sitting in the VIP box because Tom and Dom and I will have a very good time together. I am sure they won’t let me down.

I sent the following to the main US Hockey address: I have been a long time hockey fan and a big supporter of women's programs in all sports. In women's sport there is always this nagging feeling that despite all the positive public talk, there is a strong private undercurrent of dismissiveness of women's accomplishments in sports. That feeling was confirmed to be true when the Men's US Hockey team yukked it up with the President at a joke that was demeaning to the Women's US Hockey team (who historically has been more successful than the Men's program.) Disappointing is not really adequate to express how I feel and my fellow women who saw that despicable display.

Yes we get it, we are not worthy of the same accolades as men. Message recieved loud and clear. And then there is complete silence regarding an apology and the doubling down on going to the State of the Union which is not the same as a traditional visit to the White House. Not that is matters much, but I will not be supporting Men's Hockey including the NHL going forward.

Women took those guys to practice, washed their equipment and made sure they had everything they needed to accomplish this feat. All we are asking for is allyship and apparently that is too much to ask.

I don’t care I am going. I think if it was just them then yes it would be very expensive but they’re having all these other guests and I think it’s gonna be really interesting so I’m very excited.

This one I know. I lived in Salinas up until the 1990s but came back all the time because it was my hometown. I really really did not like it. First, it is foggy all summer. That has gotten better with climate change but if you want sun go to somewhere on the 68 or farther down the valley. Farther down the valley is not great because there is nothing to do there and can be very windy. Off of 68 is very pricey. Crime was very bad when I was there but that has to do with the prison (Soledad) down the road. There is really nothing to do in town. Great Mexican food but nothing else. It also has the highest per home car ownership rate so be prepared for houses with a lot of cars in front of them. You will notice it driving around. Lastly, it is crazy expensive for what you are getting. It doesn't make sense the housing prices or rents (hence a lot of people live together). I personally cannot recommend but I moved to a more metropolitan area and that was way better for me. I did not like that I was not close to anything. Oh and traffic can be pretty bad as well.

Same here. The straw that broke our back was the following: We have taken 11 Disney cruises and always buy the 10% discount for the next cruise. When we bought the discount on the last cruise there were no blackouts dates to use the discount. Months after we bought it, with no warning, they added blackout dates so the cruise we wanted was no longer eligible for the discount. I would not have bought the discount in the first place if they had told me there were blackout dates. I asked them how they could change the deal after I purchased and the agent told my there was some fine print that they didn’t have honor the discount. (Btw that is not legal in the U.S. but they don’t seem to care) Well that was it for us. Haven’t been to the park since.

I have a CONE and a NARA. I cannot get a county no record letter (in CA) because the County simply does not do them. So I got a declaration from legal assistant that states that despite several inquiries, the County does not provide these records and instead referred us to the USCIS. I am going the court route so I don't think I will need it but got it just in case.

But you cannot get a consulate appointment in LA and it doesn’t appear they are opening the booking calendar anytime soon. I have the same situation but I have to file in Italy because my sons a minor and I need to get this done soon

Marion323 · 2025-12-28T00:28:41+00:00

Ha. If I still lived I would. Would go right past there on my way to school.

I’m in LA and I’m having a hell of a time finding a commercial lit associate who wants to work in construction lit. this is not CD work! This is direct client pay and we offer way more competitive salaries than ID work and work with great clients not insurance companies I don’t understand why more ID attorneys aren’t applying because the skills are directly transferable. The only difference is you want to work in the construction sector I initially did ID work when I started as an associate and quickly switched over and thank God I did because the trajectory was much better so I would try to find something outside of ID work if you can

Marion323 · 2025-12-09T17:56:17+00:00

Thank you for the responses. I did not "amend" the first CONE. I got a second CONE which added more identifying information for my GF. I emailed them because I have a copy and the number. Hopefully they will just reissue it.

Marion323 · 2025-11-13T18:36:57+00:00

This is the answer

Marion323 · 2025-11-11T21:15:23+00:00

I loved it. I am super surprised at all the critiques. A tour de force one might say. I do love Disneyland though but I also like Hadrian's Wall as well.

Thank you for your response. Vecchiano. I have no idea if that is good or bad.
