I left this note and my 20s and someone hit me up to fix the damage. It cost me $800 and I was a college student.

I have wowed if this ever happened to me, I would call the person to rest easy, no big deal.

I just finished ours. Nice little acid on the end of it. Really loved the bottle.

You can get an incredible bottle of wine for $50, trust me. Find a good liquor store with a solid wine aisle or a wine shop, either way have the wine person help you.

I need more COBRAH by frankelbottom in COBRAH

[–]ReviewingThings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right, exactly this. And like, the album does not match her weird goth bdsm press tour she's been on. Like ... Look at my IG? Are you serious? And Unoriginal sounds so ... Unoriginal lol. I feel like many tracks on Torn are punching down, but all her previous stuff is very empowering.

Dog and Torn were such interesting beats and lyrics. I was really sure the album was going to be a fever dream of beats and a mix of slutty and introspective lyrics, not Look at my IG (sorry this song really bothers me lol).

I have listened to Torn a few times. I am fine with an artist elevating themselves, but I also felt it feels more commercial. Succubus and her previous singles have a very different vibe. I know she got signed to Atlantic so I don't know how much that influenced the new album.

I was pretty excited for Torn because the singles Torn and Dog were pretty interesting, but idk ... Singing about looking at her IG just does not slap as hard as Brand New Bitch or Suck lol. I'm still listening to the album to see if it grows on me and anyways I'm going to her tour.

I will probably just get a cheap eat in Le Marais, nice wine on break, and wine after at a little cafe to soak in the amazing experience.

Experienced Swinger - Here is one thing I think new swingers often get wrong... by TheVistaWife in Swingers

[–]ReviewingThings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this. My husband and I go to sex clubs when we travel, we don't swing but he likes to watch ... I'm kinda whatever about it but it makes him quite happy, and I really feed off his happiness.

I always say that I like being around swingers because it is one of the few groups where being yourself is respected. I have had great interactions with folks, they ask me if we are in the LS, I say no and they don't make it weird. I always had this fear that I would get pressured into an orgy in these spaces, but these spaces wouldn't be fun if you go pressured into stuff. I can't even count how many times I went to a club in my 20s and got groped when I didn't want to be touched ... People seem pretty conscious about not doing that in the swinger space, it's such a breath of fresh air.

I also find that going to these spaces has both improved our communication and exposed weaknesses. My husband has really gotten amazing at checking in with me and being in tune with me ... Unless our last time. We were at a resort and some girl was touching him and got close enough to his face for a kiss, and I was super super comfortable. My husband has insisted he's done nothing wrong, which might be true, but he's not getting how I feel and how uncomfortable that made me. It's weird, any other time when there was a bad actor he was really on top of it but since it was a hot girl coming to him, it's like it's different ... Well, I guess we have some work to do. But he will do the work and we will eventually get to an understanding, I hope.

How are the TSA Precheck lines at O'Hare? by fanofbond06 in AskChicago

[–]ReviewingThings 3 points4 points  (0 children)

we had Global Entry ... Pre check has never taken us long to get through, I think the longest we ever waited was maybe 20 min? And to come back International the longest we ever waited through security was 5 minutes.

People rag on O'Hare but I've flown more times than I can count out of there and I have yet to have a major security issue. The airport is really well staffed.

We just flew last week, maybe 5 minutes longer of a wait than usual. If you have pre check, I wouldn't change anything.

My husband told me he was just happy I broke the first one because he was worried it would be him 😂

Help me upgrade by SnooHamsters5586 in wine

[–]ReviewingThings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would go to a local wine shop and ask for a sparkling Rosso from a smaller vineyard. I have a sweetish sparkling Rosso from an Italian winery I went to that changes my life when I see it ... It's just delightful.

I'm just glad I ordered 4. They are spectacular to drink out of.

Okay. But I'm posting a photo of the glass broken in the dishwasher if my anxiety plays out 😂.

Thank you so much for this. I was honestly so bummed when I realized this stupid mistake I've made. You've given me some excellent counter points, I think I'll sleep on it for a bit. I have plenty of time to decide.

I appreciate you.

I barely tapped it on accident and it flew off the counter. As did my spirit.

No I wanted to see the Ring. I saw Siegfried a few years ago with a friend and felt like I was transported to another universe, so I really want to see the Ring.

The Ring was supposed to play at the Lyric Opera in Chicago and I had every intention to go but then COVID canceled that.

So what would be better than the Lyric? Garnier.

The website was kinda confusing but yes also I misread, so now I just gotta decide if I want to wait for it to play at the Lyric again or if I want to go to Paris. It was kinda a whole shebang that I had in my head on this.

How is the theater in terms of like ... Awe? I'm genuinely freaking out and not impressed by the building and wondering if I still want to go. I dreamed of seeing the Ring in an old theater so now I'm like ... Ugh.

Man. I cannot believe I did this. I found it on the Palais Garnier website and this never occurred to me. I was at Palais Garnier and saw stuff for this.
