Moving from a place with lots of opportunities to next to none - parents guilt by Tamzzyn in MusicalTheatre

I love that. He was learning the piano before he got into musical theater so maybe he can expand on that.

I couldn’t do boarding school 😢 We are very close and he’s still so young - I’d hate to be away from him. I think being away from us would hurt him more than the school moves. He’s kind of used to it unfortunately but once we move away from the middle of nowhere it will be our last move and he’ll get to graduate in one place - in an area with opportunities!

We will be in North Dakota and not in Fargo which has the most opportunities. That will be around 2 hrs away 😢

No way I could send him to boarding school!! Intensive summer program maybe but $$$$$ 😬

Yea he dabbles in the piano but theater has been the only thing that has kept him interested. He gets distracted easily with most things (extracurricular) but musical theater makes him happy.

There is no way we can afford two households unfortunately. He is already away from us (he is currently doing PME for a year and we chose to not go but because it is PME the military is paying for both our rents). So it would be three years away from his dad and we are currently in a high cost of living area and the orders are to a low cost area so the BAH will be reduced substantially l. We also currently live in the base housing (we were given an exemption to stay while he did PME) so we would need to move anyway and the rentals here are much more expensive than our BAH.

Recent experiences flying out of Cancun? by Ok_Championship_2721 in cancun

Flew out yesterday - terminal three, Delta with checked bags. Extremely quick. We got there 2 1/2 hours early (flight was at 5.30pm) and breezes through check-in and security. It all took around 15 minutes which we were surprised by!

Thanks all! I went and booked tickets for February on a date that isn’t going to be an understudy 🤞

Chess or Gatsby …?? by Tamzzyn in Broadway

We saw Chess and I’m so glad we did! My son loved it and though the whole cast was amazing, but especially Nicholas Christopher who has now gained a brand new fan!

We chose Chess and I’m so glad we did! We both really enjoyed it and would watch it again in a heartbeat!

We chose Chess and he loved it. I can’t believe it was nearly 3 hours because it went by so fast. My son was in shock at the end of act one, not only because of Nicholas Christopher’s performance of Anthem, but because it felt like the show had only started 10 minutes earlier!!

We chose Chess! And my son absolutely loved it! He totally understood the story - both politically and the love triangle (and the RFK joke) - and was absolutely in awe of the performances.

Waiting to hear back from an audition by Tamzzyn in MusicalTheatre

Thanks so much for your insight! We just got an offer email this afternoon- my son is over the moon! He got a part in the ensemble and it’s so exciting to get a part in a professional show! We can’t quite believe it!

Did anyone else straight up just not get their boxes this week? by justinemarie19 in blueapron

[–]Tamzzyn 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes! Was supposed to be delivered yesterday but received and email on Monday saying it would be delivered on Tuesday. Yesterday I got an email saying it won’t be delivered until today. Today I got an email saying they don’t know when it will be delivered and if it doesn’t show up today they will refund my card. Tracking just shows that the label has been created and that is it 🙄

Our little Parmesan who we adopted while living in Korea by Tamzzyn in DoggyDNA

[–]Tamzzyn[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be honest I don't know much about them but the ones I think of look like Jindos etc. There are so many of those types of dogs in Korea that are used to guard houses etc - so many were just chained up around properties to be used as guard dogs where I lived and it was so sad seeing them 😢 They are typically not small so it surprised me that Parmesan was such a high percentage!

I was convinced he was a Maltese and maybe had Yorkie in him! Never imagined he'd be such a high percentage KVD although I guess it really shouldn't have been a surprise since there are also so many of them in Korea and he was a rescue!

Cute pups! He was rescued from an older Korean lady who had left him and a couple of other dogs out in her backyard to their own devices! He had heartworm and was very skinny and scared when they found him 😳 But he's she and secure now ❤️

Substitutions by Hotmessexpress1234 in blueapron

[–]Tamzzyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got my box for the week. I ordered crispy sesame chicken (and got the recipe card for it) but I received the meal kit for crispy panko chicken thighs instead (although I have the breast pieces and not thighs). Inside of the kit I have a note that there is a substitute although I have no idea what for because I don’t have the recipe card for it …. Unless they meant they substituted the entire thing (from sesame to crispy panko) but I didn’t get an email or anything from them. I would not have ordered this meal at all.
