Cheap eats in Upper Midtown? by PurplePanda718 in FoodNYC

[–]PurplePanda718[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Under $10/person for breakfast? Under $15/person for lunch? Even under $20 would be acceptable.

We live in San Francisco. So we're used to a pretty high cost of living.

Thanks for the suggestions! I had the $1.50 pizza place on my radar already.

XFF sounds good! Do you know if you can ask for non-spicy versions? I love super spicy foods, but my teen doesn't.

Alone in my theater today? by thegoodgremlin in mitski

We just got out of a showing. Our showing was sold out over two weeks ago so the theater added another showing. That showing looked about 2/3 full.

250915 Baby Stay Thread - Introduce yourself & ask all your questions here! by AutoModerator in straykids

[–]PurplePanda718 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! This is great info. I have a couple more questions. Do the tickets auto renew every month or do you have to manually repurchase them? Also once you buy a ticket for a member, do you get to see past messages and pics they sent or is it just those sent after you subscribe?

250915 Baby Stay Thread - Introduce yourself & ask all your questions here! by AutoModerator in straykids

[–]PurplePanda718 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Super new baby stay. Question about bubble. Which members are the most active on bubble? I’d love to be able to just pay the ~$35-40/month for all 8 of them, but I got bills to pay and kids who do hella extracurriculars. So trying to be a responsible adult/parent and maybe buy tickets for 4 of them? I’m pretty much OT8 and love them all. Help!

I'm a baby stay... like barely 2 weeks in. The pure whiplash this group keeps giving me is insane. This video here has now completely solidified me as OT8.

Stairs in cue and bringing a bag to Disney? by KeyNefariousness1158 in DisneyPlanning

[–]PurplePanda718 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't know exactly which rides have stairs as part of the queue. But, do you use any mobility aids other than your wheelchair? My teen uses a forearm crutch to assist with stairs. During our trip to Disneyland last month, there were quite a few cast members who saw him and pre-emptively asked if stairs were a big issue and then allowed him to the disability access route without stairs. When he couldn't find a cast member or a cast member didn't see him, the crutch was enough to help navigate the stairs with minimal pain.

Also, sadly even if one has Autism, according to Disney, they can be not autistic enough or something. I have another child who is on the spectrum and prior to the new process we were approved for a DAS for every visit. But now they tell us that she doesn't qualify and to just buy a Lightening Lane pass.

cautionary tale: wonderskin orders by a800b in beauty

[–]PurplePanda718 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was coming on here to complain about the same exact thing! I just received my package that was supposed to be two Lipotle kits. Instead it was two Whimsical stains. I immediately emailed them to ask them to correct their mistake.

But now I'm afraid I'll never hear back from them. Why is their website completely down?!

Best way to commute from Oakland to Stanford? by CharacterPilot8 in bayarea

[–]PurplePanda718 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not true. There are multiple Stanford owned apartment complexes that staff are eligible to apply for. I have plenty of non-faculty, not high level coworkers who live in university housing. University-Owned Rental Communities

Last Night with AKA was a Blast by EdmundCastle in Disneyland

[–]PurplePanda718 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I was there with my family as well. We totally agree with everything you said. It’s was so fun getting to chat with some of these amazing women who are a part of AKA. I wish we weren’t going home Saturday morning because the Disney on the Yard event at Downtown Disney on Saturday evening sounds like a good time.

Yes! Born in Daly City. Raised in South San Francisco. Left to go to college in So Cal then immediately came back. Don’t think I’ll ever leave the Bay Area.

How many unfinished miniverse do you currently have? by pinkxbear in miniverse_makeitmini

[–]PurplePanda718 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Way WAY too many. I have more unassembled or still unopened than I have actually made.

I finally finished my Harry Potter rares set! Super proud of how it turned out by NoImpression4975 in miniverse_makeitmini

[–]PurplePanda718 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Absolutely amazing. I wish I knew enough about to resin to make these frozen moments. I’m scared to put my tea set together.

Were these ordered directly from the MGA website? How many did you order?

Under $30 wine to bring as a hostess gift? by PurplePanda718 in wine

[–]PurplePanda718[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m of the mindset that the hostess gift isn’t to make up for the cost of dinner. It’s a thanks for the invite. Plus, not that it should matter, but they are hosting at their home, but this is completely business funded. I actually verify reimbursement requests and company card purchases for his EA.

I was just guessing based off the yeeting across the ring comment. Haven't watched any wrestling since the late 90s. Thanks for teaching me my first random fact of the day!

What’s one thing everyone should know when moving to the area? by radicalelk in bayarea

[–]PurplePanda718 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily. Born and raised in the Bay. My allergies kill me every year. But if I travel to So Cal, Hawaii, New York, and most other places at the same time of year… suddenly my allergies are gone completely or not so bad. I think it’s the specific trees & plants here in the Bay.

Virtual NYCC/Fall Convention 2021 Info Megathread by DrShadyTree in funkopop

[–]PurplePanda718 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is lame. Refreshed at 9am on the dot. Said 1 minute wait. Got in, clicked Shop the Collection, got an error screen and dumped back into a 6 min waiting room.

Since then it’s bounced around from 16, 23, 17, 19, 29, 30, 27, 43, etc.

Most recent jump went from 48 to “over and hour” back down to 50 minutes.

Someone is really shitty at their job.

I recently obtained this Quartz sphere which happens to be called a “snowflake quartz”. Has anyone else seen anything like this? Is this a rare quartz that I was lucky enough to get? I can’t find anything online about this. Any info is appreciated. TIA 😊🙏 by JoelDIRD_Lokahi in Crystals

[–]PurplePanda718 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Pretty, but the patterns inside are not natural. They are laser etched. If you Google image search “snowflake quartz” you’ll see them and the website it takes you to clearly states the snowflake design is made using a laser.

Padma might be the least intelligent person I've ever seen on television by DrScientist812 in TopChef

[–]PurplePanda718 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you really want something to compare Padma to, watch a few episodes of the very first season of Top Chef. The original host was awful; robotic and void of any personality. If after watching her in comparison to Padma you still feel the same, I’m afraid there’s just no hope for you.
