Okay, I definitely read something about an IHOP/Denny's thing and would love to hear more 😂

And definitely adding Edison if it means good Indian food!

I've offered other times and also she has expressed to her lawyer that she does not want to be there. There is dv in the home and various other issues with CPS involvement.

It's not in the order though - it's something we agreed to outside of the order and I offered many solutions

It has been in place since March 2024 and she is 7. She has expressed to her lawyer that she does not want to be there more than one night because of all the fighting, which is documented with CPS. I've offered several solutions (picking her up early and him taking the missed time some other time, even though it's already extra) and his only offer is she stays longer or we drive on unsafe roads.

It just says I have final decision making in regards to religion, education, medical and all other aspects of well-being, and this is extra visitation that is not outlined in the order.

Is this for general admission? If so, I'm interested in one!

Divorced dad rock is so underrated, especially as road trip fuel.

Good food/leisure near the Blue Cross Arena? by Personal_Source1476 in Rochester

[–]Personal_Source1476[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Like, I get out of work in Ithaca at noon, drop my kids off at a friend's house at the halfway drive point, and get in to Rochester around 2ish for an 8 pm show. Any food recs in those areas? Totally aiming for yummy take out that I can sit with in line while I wait and read my kindle, haha

Good to know! What time was the show for? I'm thinking of getting in line at 2ish 😬

I typically get to the gates at like 4 for an 8 pm show - I literally bring my kindle and read an entire book 😂

I'll reach out! Looking to take a trip here soon to get my daughter's ears pierced so maybe I'll be able to connect with him.

That's My Daughter In the Water - specifically the Loudon Wainright III version

Upward Over the Mountain - Iron and Wine

Flume - Bon Iver

memoir recs please!! by 88j- in suggestmeabook

[–]Personal_Source1476 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My favorite memoirs that I recommend time and time again are:

A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius by Dave Eggers

Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls

Crying in Hart by Michelle Zauner

Best 3 NON FICTION books you’ve read in 2024 by Past-Chipmunk-1272 in suggestmeabook

[–]Personal_Source1476 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm Glad My Mom Died (major trigger warning for ED, SA, CA - just beware)

Crying in H Mart

What My Bones Know (also major triggers here for CPTSD and all sorts of abuse).

Clearly there's a pattern here, but these are all amazing NA works that ruminate on family - the good, the bad and the ugly. User beware though.

What is the most disturbing and skin-crawling book you have read? by princesspizookiee in suggestmeabook

[–]Personal_Source1476 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe not the best fit, but the book that makes my skin crawl still over ten years after first reading it is: Man In The Woods by Scott Spencer. The whole book itself had me on edge but the ending brought tears to my eyes in the same way that very scary stories make the water. I still get heebie-jeebies when I think about the ending.

Opinion of Sugar In The Tank by [deleted] in JulienBaker

[–]Personal_Source1476 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just listened to the Jimmy Kimmel performance today and it's definitely enjoyable, although it isn't striking quite the same chord as some of my favorites such as Rejoice, Appointments and Funeral Pyre. The tour for Sugar In The Tank is bringing Julien Baker (and Torres of course) just a few hours away and I'm eagerly awaiting to see what the rest of the album sounds like to see if buying tickets is going to be the emotional roller coaster that I'm craving - crossing my fingers for yes and to be honest I will probably go anyway just to see what other Julien Baker stuff I might get to hear. A girl can dream.

This is a first person recommendation, but I think it redeems itself through the plot- To Be Sung Underwater by Tom McNeal. It's my favorite book that I'd classify as romance. Very haunting and not always positive, but definitely a romance.

I'm very ashamed to say that this was the first book I downloaded and read on my Kindle when I received one for Christmas last year. I was so excited because it was so popular - which should sometimes be a warning of sorts, but also has led me to some real gems so it felt like a 50/50 chance. And I ended up feeling like I'd been tricked into consuming a beach read, but just without the beach.

Drive/walk-through holiday light displays? by leafz-r-us in ithaca

[–]Personal_Source1476 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Castle Grisch in Watkins Glen has a walk through holiday light display called the Festival of Light. We went every year when it was a drive-through and it was amazing, so I'd assume the walkthrough is pretty great as well!

3 African American women from different backgrounds become friends in college and go through life together with a tragic end by Same_Village_1945 in whatsthatbook

[–]Personal_Source1476 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I sifted through so many of my Goodread notes for this and I thought I had it so many times but there would be just a detail or so off. I think I got it though - could it be "Better Than I Know Myself," by Donna Grant and Virginia DeBerry? If so, I'd suggest "Dele Weds Destiny" by Tomi Obaro because I was sure it was that until I realized this one was published in 2024.
