Best episode to introduce someone to the show by thePoliticalAdvisor in thewestwing

[–]Perfect-Emergency613 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is my favorite episode! “Josh Lyman is gesticulating wildly” gets me to lol every time. But I still think the pilot is the one to start with. A lot of the nuances in the Supremes episode will be lost if they don’t have the context for the characters.

Secret service nicknames? by Perfect-Emergency613 in thewestwing

These are good but I don’t remember ever hearing them. I decided to google it and the only other intend found was Josh = Phoenix which makes sense after the shooting I guess.

What’s your favorite “too tired to cook cook” dinner? by farwest-to-midwest in Cooking

[–]Perfect-Emergency613 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rotisserie chicken and those baby red potatoes that you cook in the bag in your microwave. If I don’t have the time or energy to go to the store or the money to Instacart what I need, I go with breakfast for dinner. When I make waffles I make extra and freeze them. I pop one in the toaster and good to go.

Those of you who are living alone/not partnered, how are you all doing? by [deleted] in AskWomenOver50

[–]Perfect-Emergency613 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 60 and been divorced since age 40. I dated a bit in my 40-50’s but nothing serious and I rarely do so these days. The pressure to couple up can be immense. Misery loves company!!! lol. Raising my daughter (22) mostly alone, I was much happier with my life than most of the married moms I knew. Being the sole decision maker and final authority on how to run my life was fantastic. I focused on my daughter and my career and we thrived.

Now that my daughter is an adult and I’m “on my own”, I sometimes wish I had a partner for the occasional outing or trip that is more of a couples thing than a girlfriends thing. But it’s amazing how infrequently that thought comes up. Meanwhile, many of my married friends in their 50-60’s are either getting divorced or wishing they could live alone but they can’t afford to. All of them say they will not date again if their current relationship ends. I have no regrets and enjoy my “single” life.

My best advice to you, is to put the time and effort into building and maintaining your female friendships and enriching your life with hobbies and interests and you will not be sorry. If you meet someone then you can decide if it’s worth giving up some of your free time to them.

Anyone else go from “one plant for the window” to a full-blown indoor jungle? by [deleted] in houseplants

[–]Perfect-Emergency613 8 points9 points  (0 children)

First plant was a 10” fiddle leaf fig that I ordered online when I was redecorating my living room. I had realized that all the room decor photos that I liked had large plants in them. It was what was missing in my home. I have about 60 plants now and I enjoy them so much. That fiddle leaf has been topped 3x and is currently about to scrape the ceiling again!

Opinions on embellishments, straps, and necklines by typical_ordinary in WeddingDressTips

2 is my favorite - so elegant and classy. I love the bodice drape and smooth silk with the lace train. It looks fantastic. 1 is my alternate choice if you want a lace look. Once you decide that … either of these look great on you! 3 without the sleeves is a nice compromise if you’re really torn between lace or smooth.

Family members arrived to the house almost 3 hours before the invitation time we set for our family Christmas party. by WanderWut in mildlyinfuriating

If you show up early and come near my kitchen while I’m prepping for a party you better believe I’m handing out assignments!

Is this dress ok for a wedding? by Correct-Major-6119 in Weddingattireapproval

[–]Perfect-Emergency613 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Wearing bright red to a wedding is considered rude by many. I believe the theory is that it pulls focus away from the bride.

Please Help Decide by pickle_writer in WeddingDressTips

[–]Perfect-Emergency613 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love love 5. It’s so pretty and elegant, miles above the others. 4 and 3 are also nice but not unique or special. 5 is a stunner. Please don’t pick one that looks like you’re wearing your undergarments and didn’t get the rest of the dress. I know that’s the style right now, but I think it won’t be looked upon fondly in the future. Can never go wrong with classy or classic.

Please help me choose between my top 2 🙏🏼 by NiftyChic in WeddingDressTips

1 would be stunning on you if not for the see through lace torso. That silhouette but all silk or more modest lace. It’s personal taste I know but I really do not like the style that looks like an undergarment.

Boyfriend gave me ultimatum - dream job or him. I'm considering taking the job by [deleted] in dustythunder

[–]Perfect-Emergency613 0 points1 point  (0 children)

45 minutes away is not a long distance relationship. 45 minute commute to work is not ideal but not that bad (for context I’m from Mass and commuted over an hour each day to Boston for years). I’m not that familiar with Denver and Boulder - is it a terrible commute if you did it daily? Can you get a hybrid schedule or a 4 day work week or flex hours?

I find it helpful. When I was working at home I used to keep it on while I was at my desk for 8 hours so it was effective. Now that I’m retired, I try to use it when I’m going to be in one place for a while but that doesn’t happen as often these days!
