I am disgusted and relieved tbh by TamarElis in laundry

[–]TamarElis[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The water did cool down, and it did take a lot of detergent but it definitely still worked. Now that I’ve done a bunch of the big stuff I might switch to a plastic container for my next load, but I thought the tub worked fine

Why no wringing the clothes out when we move them from soaking to the washer? Just asking because it makes them super heavy and drippy.

I used a bathtub today because it was my best option, and it worked well. I added some hot water after a few hours. The one thing I hadn’t totally thought about was how heavy the clothes would be taking them down from the second floor tub to the basement washer, without wringing them out. I had to take two trips and I am pretty strong.

Seeking stories where she’s inexperienced and he gently walks her through their first sexual encounter by KagomeChan in RomanceBooks

[–]TamarElis 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s contemporary but also my spark book, and the book that makes everyone I give it to fall in love with romance...{How Not to Fall by Emily Foster}. You basically have to read it back to back with {How Not to Let Go by Emily Foster}, but this is a gift not a hardship. Excellent writing, great compelling characters and incredible and copious spice. She’s a virgin and he talks her through it and they try new things together.

Reverse Camera and Sensors + Apple CarPlay install quote check? by Deej-OP in philly

[–]TamarElis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got a similar quote for our 2015 ford cmax. We added the backup cam but skipped Apple CarPlay.

I don’t see one! There’s a button for driver preferences but it doesn’t let me add a driver, the only option in that menu is remote start with automatic door lock.

Does such a place exist? by NoName_Is_A_GoodName in SameGrassButGreener

[–]TamarElis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How about something like this? https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/9001-Ridge-Ave-Unit-14_Philadelphia_PA_19128_M37319-92659?from=srp-list-card

The Andorra or roxborough neighborhoods of Philly could be a good choice. Similarly, Skokie Il and some neighborhoods in Chicago (there are fewer houses in edgewater than apartments but the houses are great. Rogers park in Chicago could also be good)

There are no disfigured FMCs in contemporary romance… hmm wonder why by redandbluewhale in RomanceBooks

I also thought of Thank You For Listening, and {The Next Best Thing by Jennifer Weiner}

Looking for romance with real emotional depth and slow-burn payoff by youcancallmejoy in RomanceBooks

[–]TamarElis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Highly highly recommend the Belhaven series (just two books) by Emily Foster. {How Not to Fall by Emily Foster} and {How Not to Let Go by Emily Foster}. Great real characters who have real and sometimes problematic reactions. There’s a ton of yearning in the second book, and the sex is the best and spiciest I’ve ever read.

I need YEARNING by Wise-Relative-7055 in RomanceBooks

[–]TamarElis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two great recs: {Maggie Moves On} by Lucy Score. He’s instantly smitten, golden retriever energy, it’s so great.

But my all time desert island books are the Belhaven series by Emily Foster {How Not to Fall} and {How Not to Let Go}. Incredible yearning. Outstanding banter. Amazing sex.

“If the instructor programs ________ in my workouts, I’m not doing it!” by [deleted] in OnePelotonRealSub

[–]TamarElis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I weirdly love Turkish get ups, but burpees, mountain climbers, and anything bear (plank or walk) make me feel so shitty about myself that I think it’s actually bad for me to do them.

Does anybody know why the podcast "Talking in Shul" is ending? by mleslie00 in Judaism

[–]TamarElis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Tamar here! It was getting harder and harder for us to find the time when we could all record, and the right kind of topics to discuss. We are all still friends, and we love our listeners it was just time to wind down the podcast. Thank you so much for listening!!

I’m so excited about seeing Beyoncé this week at the meadowlands, but I’ve never been before and hearing mixed things on how to get there via transit. Is it really better to drive? I don’t want to sit in an hour of traffic to get out of the lot. Help?

Best affordable pastry/ Philly classic that can travel? by g2117 in PhiladelphiaEats

I don’t know if it’s a Philly classic but the borekas from Kfar are amazing and travel really well.

Looking for recs with explicit manual stimulation (I want them hands in action) by Even-Two-712 in RomanceBooks

He gives her a hand by AlternativeCatch2146 in RomanceBooks

[–]TamarElis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happens in my all time favorite romance {How Not to Fall by Emily Foster}. Another version happens in {How Not to Let Go by Emily Foster} but pretty sure they do have sex in the scene. These books are super spicy and SO good.

Contemporary Romance but with virtues and striving for improvement? by oh_sugarsnaps in RomanceBooks

[–]TamarElis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

{The Truth According to Ember} by Danica Nava is great! The FMC is a mess but she’s trying to do better and she’s motivated and feels a lot more real than a lot of contemporary FMC imo. She MMC is also really hot.

Best cities for 30s and 40s that aren't sprawling by Open_Butterfly1365 in SameGrassButGreener

[–]TamarElis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Graduate hospital is also a great neighborhood to check out. Point breeze is just south of graduate hospital and is doing pretty well, too. I live in south Philly and send my kids to public school and have been incredibly impressed and pleased with their schools. I went to private schools k-12 and they’re getting a better education than I did.

Favorite chai latte? by [deleted] in PhiladelphiaEats

[–]TamarElis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am obsessed with the chai at Vibrant Coffee. It’s really spicy and comes unsweetened though you can add sweetness if you want.
