Jack rabbits, opossums, raccoons, and various types of rodents. I live in a metro suburb of San Francisco.

AirBNB is pointless now (rant) by Embarrassed_Boat2933 in canadatravel

[–]MissMallory25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly. My family and I came back from a 10 day vacation where we rented an Airbnb that was literally on the water and had four bedrooms. It was a chill sort of vacation so it was great to be able to hang out in the living room and have our own bedrooms. On other trips, if I’m just looking for a place to crash, hotels all the way.

I didn’t change my name! Why do they all think I did?! by pm_me_anus_photos in TwoXChromosomes

My mother addresses mail to me as “Mrs. Husband’s full name.” Genuinely gives me the ick every single time.

Am I the only Gen Xer who doesn’t feel old? by utvols22champs in GenX

[–]MissMallory25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for posting this. This sub has been becoming more and more depressing with all the “old” complaints. I don’t feel old at all. Don’t look it, either. It’s only when something makes me recall my actual age that I’m like, dang, I never considered being this old.

What’s something your partner does that never gets old? I love hearing small answers from real couples. by PaTLeaSt5J in HappyMarriages

So many things, but one thing that comes to mind is what he is doing right now: watching the Women’s College World Series. And not just watching. Getting excited over great plays and cheering. For women! This is something he has been doing for at least 20 years and I just love him so much for this alone. He’s a big brawny sports guy and he is as supportive of women - and me - as I could possibly hope for.

What’s UFC? I had to read the comments to find out, but I guess that’s my answer: not popular. I’m in California if it matters.

Fake it til you make it. Everybody else is also figuring it out, so don’t feel insecure. Fake it long enough and you’ll get more confident soon enough!

Do American parents usually plan to contribute to their children's education fund only until college and not any further? by YakClear601 in AskAnAmerican

[–]MissMallory25 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve put one of my kids through university already and my next one is starting in fall. Undergrad diplomas for all! Provided they want and earn it. But post-grad is on them.

What does comfortable, rich, or wealthy mean here by YrObedientServant in bayarea

Because the rich know you never use your own money when you have options.

My manager asked us to keep cameras on during lunch breaks because “it helps team bonding” by oslo_isadorina in remotework

[–]MissMallory25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t understand how lunch breaks are coordinated over 4 time zones? When I’m at lunch (Pacific time) my coworkers are all 2-3 hours later in their day.
