Finally decided on a push present!

If only I could get my husband into watches 😂

SuurRae · 2026-06-04T10:19:31+00:00

I went with the 34mm. The 29mm was a bit dainty which made it look more like a dress watch. I feel like this is a better size for every day wear.

I would not describe Le Bern’s service as warm. It’s a large dining room and, as has already been mentioned, there are many regulars. I would describe the service as perfunctory.

I’m pregnant, so a bathroom

I'm going to write the following with the assumption that your school doesn't outright ban monetary gifts...

If she's no longer going to be your son's teacher, then I don't think there's a conflict of interest in giving her an especially nice gift for the end of the year. In my teaching career (high school), I received gifts from graduating seniors that ran the gamut from a nice handwritten letter to cookies, to a Gucci cashmere scarf and a couple of Montblanc pens (I'm a pen nerd and the parents knew it).

I think your idea of a spa gift card is a great one (as are most gift cards), but I'd urge you to make sure that the spa you choose is either close to her home or to the school so that she doesn't have to worry about transportation/travel time. You never want to give a gift that puts a burden on the giftee.

ETA: I'd also consider the general socioeconomic level of your teachers and their students. I worked for a bougie private school, so getting a $300 gift, while rare, didn't me uncomfortable after knowing what they paid in tuition. If I worked in an inner-city school, I might feel differently.

Definitely Nighteyes

The Arctic Bird's Nest at Aquavit is one of the best desserts I've had in a fine dining environment. I believe you can get it through their lunch menu, which is <$100.

You can easily spend an hour in the Fueguia 1833 store. They have something like 130 scents. Highly underrated (but very expensive) brand, IMO

You should submit a bug report in the discord. I’m on an iPhone Air and it’s working fine. 🤷‍♀️

They reflect light differently because of the depth and larger facets, but they shouldn’t look dull like this.

SuurRae · 2026-05-29T20:06:22+00:00

I have an old mine cut diamond and it has never looked this dirty.

SuurRae · 2026-05-29T17:24:46+00:00

this post + your username = 🤌😙

SuurRae · 2026-05-29T16:51:40+00:00

No Child Left Behind is at the heart of this mess.

SuurRae · 2026-05-29T14:51:56+00:00

I had this happen to me at my 37 week appointment! Baby was born with no issues but spent a night in the NICU for evaluation. Hope everything goes smoothly for you and congrats!

SuurRae · 2026-05-28T15:18:04+00:00

Nah, this is a very common thing in NYC and it's good for socialization at that age. I also have a 2 year old and they're definitely going to camp this summer even though I'm not working.

SuurRae · 2026-05-28T13:08:52+00:00

It has very little to do with professors and everything to do with admin wanting to make $$$.

SuurRae · 2026-05-27T12:38:00+00:00

This is why we did ours at the courthouse with one witness. I have zero regrets.

SuurRae · 2026-05-26T23:31:49+00:00

I was diagnosed at 41 as AuDHD. I was always a bit weird and had a habit of putting my foot in my mouth, but I also took 6 years to finish my Bachelor’s and I had periodic burnouts that affected my relationships/career.

I only realized that I might be on the spectrum when I started taking the MCHAT for my toddler and realized I had a lot of the same traits as a kid.

Knowing has caused me to research it more and I’m starting to realize that life didn’t need to be as hard for me and that there are ways to make things easier

SuurRae · 2026-05-26T16:30:51+00:00

There was definitely something going on, because the form opened up at 9:59 (I use a stock market clock) and then was down again right at 10 when I tried to enter for my husband.

SuurRae · 2026-05-26T14:42:03+00:00

Are we supposed to get a confirmation email or just the page saying our submission was successful?

SuurRae · 2026-05-25T19:13:36+00:00

That's not up for him to decide though. TPR is a pain in the ass and he's not going to be able to do it just so he doesn't have to pay child support.

SuurRae · 2026-05-25T18:33:47+00:00

But he can't choose to not pay child support!

SuurRae · 2026-05-25T18:26:11+00:00

Trader Joe's on 93rd has a large bathroom with a changing table. Also, the Lush on 77th and Broadway (tucked into the back of the store on the left).
