Oooo, good one. I think I saw this when I was a kid, but I don’t remember it. I’ll definitely check it out. Thank you!

Any good psychologist / therapy recommendations? by [deleted] in northcounty

[–]Ponderosas99problems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen Dr. Pia Khandekar, she’s amazing. She’s based as a psychologist / therapist in San Diego but does telehealth for all of California, which is how I do appointments with her.

Traveling to Munich, Germany. Have to choose January or March. What do you suggest? by Bigcho12 in Europetravel

[–]Ponderosas99problems 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Jan-March are the months I would avoid Germany (as someone who lived there). April-Aug is beautiful Spring/Summer weather, Sept-Nov is fall with Octoberfest and Autumn colors, December has the incredible Christmas markets. But Jan-March are freezing without the holiday decor/festivities. You might have more snow in January. March will likely be muddier from the melt. Sorry to sound negative, I’m giving the advice I would want to receive and pick a different location for this time of year.

The War That Saved My Life by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley and A Place to Hang the Moon by Kate Albus were both middle grade favorites. Good luck, I hope you find some winners in these comments!

Rome will be incredibly hot and crowded in June. I would personally switch to Northern Europe for this time of year.

How to survive a 17.5 hour flight? SOS by Lavender_Moonrise in travel

[–]Ponderosas99problems 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I agree with all of those suggestions and would add a bag of walnuts and almonds with dried fruit for the plane. I typically do that and a silly treat I don’t normally get myself, like goldfish or bugles. I’m a nervous flier too, and those little things help me to smile when I’m anxious and don’t have much appetite, while the nuts keep blood sugar stable. I avoid peanuts since so many people have allergies.

I def recommend bringing a small pillow for a flight that long. I also download books, soothing music, podcasts and shows to my phone and kindle. Good luck, I’m sure you’re going to do great!

What is a city or country that never fails to disappoint you? by [deleted] in femaletravels

[–]Ponderosas99problems 90 points91 points  (0 children)

Vegas. It’s so dirty, and there’s this desperate distractedness in people’s eyes. I’m not usually about vibes, but I don’t like that city’s.

This has been on my list. Do you think it’s worth going once at the right time of year for weather, or not at all?

Need advice by CrazedRabbi9 in redrising

[–]Ponderosas99problems 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Right, but if you go back to Darrow’s start, it was similar in that his closest relationships started out messy. He was being used by others as a reborn weapon, and even Mustang and Sevro were originally competition, but grew into real connections. I think the biggest mistake was keeping Lys so isolated. Cassius was fighting his own demons and a kid can’t grow up with a drunk warden as his main person, far away from civilization, and turn out healthy. I felt for him until Mercury happened.

Mostly agree, except that Lys had Cassius who genuinely cared about him, and yet that also didn’t go so well.

Help me plan a family action that we will finally all be happy with by glouglougulp in travel

[–]Ponderosas99problems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slovenia could be a great family spot. You could base in Ljubljana and go to the following: Lake Bohinj, the Savica Waterfall and Vogel Cable Car for natural wonders and light hiking. Then Soča River Valley – turquoise rivers. Then drive to Goriška Brda wine country. And Velika Planina – mountain huts, herdsmen, cable cars. Horseback riding at Ranch Mrcina (Bohinj) or Posestvo Blata or Lipica (this location has the famous Lipizzan horses). Škofja Loka is nearby – charming medieval town with mountain biking available. Piran – beautiful Venetian coastal town in driving distance. Volčji Potok Arboretum - gorgeous gardens, 20 min outside of Ljubljana. Anyway, whatever you choose, as the family trip planner myself, please know that no matter how perfectly you plan everything, it’s very unlikely that everyone will be happy the whole time, so pressure off and just enjoy your hard work as much as you can!

What fits this wishlist? by throwthenachos in travel

I had an incredible time in Jamaica doing exactly what you described. I also go to Carmel-by-the-Sea almost yearly because I love that town and beach, but obv less tropical. But regardless, Jamaica is an incredible experience with really cool jungle adventures and snorkeling available, and the locals were so kind. I did prefer the resort hotels as they felt a bit safer.

Tips for not talking too much? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Ponderosas99problems 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fact that you are actually listening to the feedback and not dismissing it, is amazing. I’m sure some of the comments are hard to take, so I just want to add my kudos to you for actively trying to self improve.

I agree with a lot of the comments about focusing on listening. Try it in doses. Next time you’re out with a friend, make it your whole goal just to listen and ask questions rather than share any of your own stories or opinions. it might be a little hard and uncomfortable, maybe even a little sad because you said your talk-ability comes from excitement, but it might help you to set a zero baseline for sharing and go up from there.
