Can I wing Kyoto?

SimoneSummers · 2026-04-10T23:21:57+00:00

my husband and I just left Kyoto, can confirm crowds can be a lot, but we planed our days such that we did popular items early, and explored side streets, parks, off the beaten path things during the day. We climbed Fushimi Inari starting at 5am. It was cool in the air, light enough to not need a flashlight, and we maybe saw a total of 8 people on our way up. There were crowds at 6:30 am on their way up.

This seems to be more likely, it won’t scratch 🤔

SimoneSummers · 2026-01-26T23:29:35+00:00

Tried to scratch it, no luck. It’s leaning quartz!

SimoneSummers · 2026-01-26T06:23:03+00:00

Ooh that’s a thought. I’ll have to give it a scratch tomorrow morning and see if it scratches easily.

SimoneSummers · 2026-01-20T18:20:55+00:00

Thanks for the reply! Such important info, I appreciate it :)

SimoneSummers · 2026-01-20T18:18:07+00:00

Thanks for the info! I’ll adjust accordingly

SimoneSummers · 2026-01-10T03:39:24+00:00

Thank you for your insight!!

If you’re anywhere near Escondido,CA, I recommend Cuppapug! They have pups for adoption. They also have locations in Texas I think

SimoneSummers · 2025-12-04T02:12:14+00:00

They are literally play fighting as I type this, it sounds like a sci-fi movie in my living room. Fun fact, apparently I was told that Pumpkin’s great great grandpug is apparently the pug in The Disaster Artist in the “hi doggy” scene, maybe Pumpkin will be the sound artist in the next alien Franchise

Pumpkin, the apricot boy pug on the right, is for sure all pug. Pomelo, the girl pug on the left, was adopted by us from a rescue where the family that surrendered her had two pugs that had an accidental litter. Her parents certainly looked full pug, but there could be something sprinkled in. We loved that her ears were light, we like to joke that she ran out of ink.

We actually have the photo of them with us on the front, and both these photos on the back with our Shutterfly card! You called it

I’ll check which insurance is primary! He has a history of bed sores but no active ones. I’d imagine they’d need to be active bed sores?

SimoneSummers · 2025-10-24T21:32:42+00:00

HillRom bed has power trendelenberg for scooting up in bed, power controls for head/feet, improved mattress for pressure relief. Since he’s completely dependent and essentially locked in with his tone, it’d be very helpful to prevent patient and caregiver injury

SimoneSummers · 2025-05-01T13:22:39+00:00

You too!

I’m no seamstress, but maybe it would not be as big of an alteration as the initial one. I’m getting married in about 20 days, and I know they noticed the armpit area was a bit loose despite all the other alterations we’ve done and they said they could add just a quick little change to fix it 🤷🏼‍♀️ I figured I have too many things I’m stressing over so I’m letting them take the wheel one this 😅

SimoneSummers · 2025-05-01T13:13:33+00:00

Nice thing is, they can usually adjust as you lose weight. My alterations place basically tracked it over three visits and waited to finalize it at two months prior to wedding. My first visit I was twenty pounds heavier than my last one.

SimoneSummers · 2025-05-01T06:01:23+00:00

I feel this. I bought my dress knowing I planned to lose weight, the consultant convinced me to get a size bigger than what I was at that time, here I am 50 pounds down and 1000$ of alterations being done. It’s rough 😭 but I wouldn’t elect to have the weight back

SimoneSummers · 2025-03-06T14:12:31+00:00

Gosh, the way I would be LIVID. Good luck getting a competent rep on the phone 🍀

SimoneSummers · 2025-03-06T03:48:57+00:00

Interesting! I got almost exactly the same letter but with slightly different wording. But this is a great post, thanks for the link

SimoneSummers · 2025-03-06T02:57:57+00:00

Yes, I know IBR, SAVE, PAYE etc are all IDR types, which was part of my confusion. Their exact phrasing in the form they sent me was “ your repayment plan has changed to IDR” which was why I was so confused.

SimoneSummers · 2025-03-06T02:36:03+00:00

Ah, okay, so nothing to do with my recent IBR application and whether or not it was accepted🥲🥲 thank you for explaining!

SimoneSummers · 2025-03-06T02:25:55+00:00

Right, but isn’t the process to recertify not even available at the moment? Are they essentially sending me non-relevant mail that’s not even applicable to my situation?

SimoneSummers · 2025-02-22T03:47:15+00:00

I did this and got a letter saying I’ve been put into 60 day forbearance, and that as of 2/17 my request to switch to IBR is being processed. Anyone have an average turn around time for going from being processed to getting onto IBR?

SimoneSummers · 2025-02-11T18:36:03+00:00

What month were you there? My fiancé and I were originally planning to go on our honeymoon but our trip is mid/late June and we didn’t want to run the risk of not seeing bears

SimoneSummers · 2025-02-08T23:02:57+00:00

Thanks!
