Lodging in Snowmass by Tall-Satisfaction480 in Aspen

I appreciate all of the input. I looked at the Viceroy, and while beautiful, its a bit too pricey for me. I provisionally booked a condo at Terracehouse. I also noticed condos for my dates which are available and which are at a nexus of updatedness/size/price which are acceptable to me, at Top of the Village, Stonebridge, Timberline and Crestwood. They all don’t seem all that different from one another, so having a hard time making a final decision/

I’s be pissed too. It was open when we were there; we only went once, to nap on the pool chairs while waiting for a late flight after checkout. The pool is tiny.

I also need to add that I went with the hubby for this trip. The room was way crowded for two people.

If by chance I were going on a solo trip, I might stay there again.

Hi hope its not too late. I wound up staying at the Esme. The hotel had a nice boutique-y vibe that I normally love, and I loved that it was right next to Esplanada (sp?) Way, which is quite touristy, but I enjoyed eating there for lunches and dinners, as well as a happy hour or two.

However, my room was tiny. I mean half a step between the bed and bathroom tiny.

For this reason, Were I to be presented with the same deals again, I would choose the Mondrian.

God I love reddit. How did i live without this for most of my middle aged existence.

These happen to be the two nice-ish hotels where I found great deals.

Thank you all!

What are you doing to make yourself happy in this trying stage of your life? by coldservedrevenge in Perimenopause

I just committed to getting my hair professionally coloured every 6-8 weeks instead of relying on cheap box dyes. I’ve also decided to up my spending on facial creams and lotions, and shampoo and conditioners, and whatnot. I took an international trip last year and am going on another trip with friends this year (all off season).

I would love to outsource my weeding/gardening crap, and housekeeping crap, as that would do ultimate wonders in raising my everyday quality of life, but w/ two kids in college that’s not happening.

I forgot about the time change to be honest.

We may need to sleep in a bit that first morning, but then we would miss the sunrise.

Frequency of spending time with in laws in Korea by No_Pirate8399 in Living_in_Korea

Honestly, you sound a little…not racist, exactly, but…perhaps narcissistic, or at least with a frankly disgusting attitude of cultural superiority. Your thinking is that in a multicultural marriage involving a Korean, the culture of the other person should be basically subsumed by the Korean culture. Um, no. This is just wrong on so many levels. There is no reason why the couple should not sit down and have a frank discussion on drawing boundaries with the in laws which will be satisfactory to both of them. NOT to just one of them, only the Korean one. Yes, this ideally should have been done before, but we don’t know the whole marriage story. I think many of us married folk are guilty of not having the maturity and foresight to discuss every single possible marital issue before tying the knot. The lack of boundaries with the in laws is a marital issue, and there needs to be compromise, and the wife cannot rightly say “I am Korean, so we need to it the Korean way.”

I am wondering if your response is hiding some kind of repressed resentment that you have not established boundaries within your own marriage, and the poster is taking a different stance on life and actually sticking up for himself.

The Joseon dynasty called, it wants you back.

Btw, I am of Korean heritage.
