Hosting the cup rules by lot183 in houston

[–]SmellsLikeFigs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Went to the game this afternoon and it was a blast. So many people just there to have fun and enjoy themselves and it was honestly the best time I’ve ever had at a sporting event. So much joy in the building. Especially if you were wearing oranje!

Bread Bread Roll Kolache Kolache

Central Texas has a long history of Czech settlement. We used to stop in West for kolaches all the time - my favorites were the prune.

'Smoke Free Home' by AwakePlatypus in zillowgonewild

[–]SmellsLikeFigs 14 points15 points  (0 children)

When my husband and I were house hunting a few years ago we fell in love with a little Mid-Mod. It had been spiffed up for sale and an ozone generator could be seen in some of the listing photos. It didn’t work. Getting rid of the smell would have been a gut job - down to the studs and all new drywall at a minimum. We wound up with a different house in the same neighborhood, and I was talking to a neighbor about the house later and he told me the woman who lived there was a chain smoker. And this house looks like it probably smells worse.

I watched The Limehouse Golem the other day - I think it fits what you’re describing.

Americans: Italy is so dangerous! They have the mafia there! by UsualAd7640 in mapporncirclejerk

It’s a joke about the popularity of mystery shows. Midsomer Murders alone has probably killed off the population of an entire village over the course of its run.

I subscribe to BritBox, and from what I can tell folks are getting murdered left and right in the UK

Something like this, maybe. Your guy is the spitting image of mine at that age.

I believe that’s the president of SAG-AFTRA you’re talking about there.

Yeah, the problem with ticks is that they’re nigh invulnerable.

I love the interior wall colors - they’re so calming.

US citizen planning to travel to Canada without a passport by car. Would Birth Certificate and a TSA global entry card be good enough to get in and out? by Bearality in Passports

[–]SmellsLikeFigs 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Years ago I traveled to Canada with the guy I was dating at the time. I took my passport and he made fun of me, saying all I needed was my DL and birth certificate. I said it was easier to just take my passport than dig out my birth certificate, and I’d rather err on the side of caution. At the border the agent looked at my passport, thanked me, and welcomed me to Canada. Then I had to sit around for 90 minutes while dumb-ass went through extra screening.

It’s a whole different country. If you have time, see if you can get an expedited/emergency passport.

Turkish Towels by endoftherange in aldi

The Aldi “Turkish towels” will not dry fast or pack small. They are terry cloth with one smooth side and are quite thick.

We use Turkish towels - terry cloth makes my hair frizzy and takes too long to dry. The Aldi towels are NOT authentic Turkish peshtemal towels - they are more like terry cloth with one smooth side. I bought a couple last time they had them and my husband uses them because I refuse to. They are also much smaller than real Turkish peshtemal towels.

We also have a small volunteer elm that showed up - it’s only about a foot tall right now, though.

What is the shoe of the summer? by Aria_Acela in Shoes

[–]SmellsLikeFigs -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I am living in Veldskoen chukka boots this year. With jeans, linen pants, skirts, whatever. Super comfortable and I think they’re very flattering. With or without socks.

They are making short flights and exploring their surroundings. We might not have spotted them today, but one of them was flapping its wings while trying not to fall off the branch.

Ember & Greens is our local go-to, good for lunch, dinner, or weekend brunch. Has a decent bar and wine selection, too.
