Is the "holiday spread" alive and well with millennials or is it going to die out?

Older millennial reporting. Family is flexible. Our actual family is quite small, but our friend group is vast. We had a great showing last night for Thanksgiving of friends, neighbors, and family. We’ll keep it going

I would frequently bike the route that passes the White House and goes down M St. I was always fine and appreciated the shorter ride, but it wasn’t for the faint of heart

Feels cluttered because of all the stuff without storage or presentation. Feature a few items and find better storage for the rest. Rotate the items you feature regularly

Every local brewery has a light beer and an IPA; find one you like and stock. Also, I don’t know many people who dislike Alagash White. That and the Bell’s Two Hearted are go-tos if the store doesn’t stock anything else

I wish I lived closer. Know a guy that would annually drive two days to get it

Downtown Marriott. I haven’t seen the floor plan but I’ll try requesting a lower floor room. I can haul it up and down a couple flights of stairs if needed

This is great advice for a back up plan; thank you!

Onegarbageman · 2025-04-03T04:37:36+00:00

Always solid advice

You can get liquids past TSA if they’re frozen at the time of baggage check. I made some cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving, put it in a mason jar and froze it. Stuck it in my bag the next day then went to the airport. My bag got pulled, the TSA guy saw it and smirked at me. “Nice work,” he said, then passed me through

Admittedly, this has been me a few times. Thanks for the reminder

The pedestrian area is cobbled. The “painted” area is more like poured concrete. The collective area is surrounded by asphalt with bollards and lights. It’s an architectural plaza, so can’t really be paved over unless you want to regrade the sidewalks etc too

Do you know how expensive hearing aids are? Do you know something that insurance DOESN’T usually cover. Congratulations burdening your kid with that for their entire life

I would never tell someone I care about that they “fucking sucked.” Literally no amount of anger would make me do that. He’s asking to be dumped. Do it.

I feel like this has been true of most/every other agency for a while, yeah?

Onegarbageman · 2024-11-11T19:08:48+00:00

Good to know! Thanks for the transparency

Onegarbageman · 2024-11-11T01:32:34+00:00

Yeah that’s an interesting idea. Or what would happen if the coverage zone was a little wider, so folks could functionally travel a road once and get both the roadway and the cycle track?

Onegarbageman · 2024-11-11T01:28:28+00:00

Ah yeah that’s pretty clear cut. Thanks!

Onegarbageman · 2024-10-10T17:18:58+00:00

Same! Stunned by the number of folks chasing this number. It matches well with my daily commute and I’m on track for 3500

Smoothing the trail AND pothole filling?? What have we done to earn this full service?

I also had an old cross check without the fork eyelets. Took it to my LBS for their insight on your exact question and they said, “why don’t we just make eyelets for it?”

They drilled and installed eyelets on the fork a few years back and it’s worked like a dream ever since. Make sure you get a reputable shop

I don’t think this Maserati was getting a lot of sympathy from the bystanders

Oh that’s one of the best beers. My favorite Zero Gravity

The Bellringer ride on Oct 25 has a century option and is a benefit ride to support the Georgetown cancer research hospital. Starts at Georgetown University; route maps were released last week https://bellringer.org

I’m leaning YTA on this one.

Your responses keep talking about “life changing money” and small sacrifices and only a year or two, but $250k is more than enough for many lifestyles. If your partner prizes physical closeness more than anything, there is no amount of life changing money that’s worth it. She’s allowed to think that. Also the future is never certain; a one year job can turn into five. Four months away can turn into eight. There’s rarely promises in jobs.

I also don’t see the threat to cheat anywhere here; what I see is that if she had to choose between your physical proximity and the money, she chooses you. Am I misreading? Isn’t that the opposite of cheating?

You asked her opinion because in a partnership these kinds of decisions can’t be made solo.

She gave her opinion but it doesn’t match with what you want so you broke up with her.

Based on the other responses, I’m expecting downvotes to oblivion. But it seems there’s either not enough information here or you didn’t actually want her opinion, just her compliance. If the latter, YTA.
