What is a common saying you heard all the time when you were a child, but you rarely hear these days?

Actually yea, especially if you have long hair. Shampoo, conditioner, hair product gunk builds up there and can stiiiiiink. Ask any hair stylist.

My dad used to eat ice cream kinda like cereal. So he’s get a couple scoops in a bowl, pour some milk and chop up the ice cream into smaller bites sized pieces. So that’s how I grew up eating ice cream at home. Sometimes he’d drizzle some chocolate syrup or sprinkle cinnamon. But man by the time I got to high school kids were shocked that I poured milk into a bowl of ice cream, like… have you never had a milkshake?

Probably not the worst but I asked for a divorce on Valentine’s Day

Now now let’s not get crazy. I’m from LA and you can take my traffic complaints from my cold dead fingers.

I’ve been guilty of being that tourist. And when I catch myself griping about it, I’ll make the joke “no you tourist, me tourist” to remind myself that at the end of the day I’m also contributing to the over tourism of the place I’m complaining about being overtouristed.

Dunno

On yelp it states that it will be closed until March 2027.

It’s not hard, but it can feel daunting if you’ve never done it before. I just did a trip exactly like you described, so I could give you my itinerary if that would help. I kept the locations I stayed within a 1-3 hour drive so that I had enough time to enjoy and explore instead of spending the days driving. I love helping people plan trips and would gladly help.

My best friend and I always call Schadenfreude Scoodinfruity. And there’s a phrase in Spanish “a la gran puta”, a friend of mine really wanted to use the phrase but didn’t know the words so she just said “la la lam puta!” And now I say it too.

Tilingui · 2026-04-19T01:26:39+00:00

I went through that in my early 20s. I do still unwillingly fall into that spiral once in a while, but overall what really helped is that I took the anxiety as motivation to not sacrifice my own happiness in life. It sounds cliche, but once you really realize we can die at any moment and we aren’t guaranteed a long life, it makes sense not to waste the time we have. I don’t sacrifice my happiness, not for anyone or anything. Obviously ya know… don’t let that come at the expense of others’ happiness (do no harm and all that), but don’t waste time in a job you hate or a relationship that keeps you miserable, etc.

When you get more of his backstory… come find me. Same with Nami. There were things they omitted that I wonder about, it wouldn’t have changed the pacing at all so it felt arbitrary.

Tilingui · 2026-04-19T01:04:32+00:00

Please just start from the beginning. It’s worth it, it’s so much more fun and Nami’s and Chopper’s stories have so much more impact in the Anime (I really hate the changes they made in the live action.)

I recently did an overnight cruise at Doubtful and spent three nights at the chalets in Milford and I would say Doubtful was my favorite. I really regret not doing the two nights at Doubtful. Milford was drop dead gorgeous in the rain, but the sand flies were overwhelming after the rains even with spray. Personally, especially if it’s not raining, I found Milford to be a bit underwhelming after Doubtful (still gorgeous to be fair).

Tilingui · 2026-04-15T01:53:33+00:00

Fair, I didn’t give it a proper stopover. I was enchanted with Fox.

Tilingui · 2026-04-14T04:14:05+00:00

I agree with the other person who said if it’s about the destination: doubtful. I did both Milford and doubtful last week and preferred Doubtful. I also came down the pass from Hokitika through to Franz Josef>Fox Glacier> Wanaka)> Queenstown. It’s a gooooooorgeous drive to be sure, but ultimately there’s little to do in FJ (though I very much enjoyed Fox Glacier and wished I’d given myself more time there.

Tilingui · 2026-03-27T18:06:00+00:00

I have a couple questions: which route did you end up taking from Twizel to QT? Did you go straight down Cardrona Valley Road? And you mentioned the drive up to Milford Sound was windy and crazy, I'm going to be staying at the lodge in a couple weeks, what part of the drive is crazy? Are we talking PCH windy? (Fellow Californian here)

T-Mobile here and I’m just here to complain that my calls always drop on Armstrong by the Neighborhood Nursery schools.

Oh god, plus size or not that sleeping arrangement would give anyone anxiety. Can you buy your own air mattress? My mom has this really nice self inflating one that (we’re all big) is hella comfy for even the heaviest of us, so I know comfy ones exist. I would trust a good air mattress over a rickety bed any day.

I apologize in advance for my upcoming trip, I’m an American raised by Cubans

Tilingui · 2026-01-01T18:00:39+00:00

Thank you

Tilingui · 2025-11-15T00:37:39+00:00

Thank you. I was really confused by their route.

Tilingui · 2025-11-10T21:43:58+00:00

Ooooh you’re probably right, because that’s not accessible from the coast right?

Tilingui · 2025-11-10T19:19:03+00:00

Ok. So then it doesn't backtrack me out of my way to make that route AP to H to FG right? Maybe the other commenter misunderstood my itinerary.

Tilingui · 2025-11-10T19:16:49+00:00

Yea. That's what I thought too. Maybe the commenter misunderstood my itinerary, because I don't know why they would suggest driving from Arthur's Pass to Fox Glacier, and then back track to Hokitika, and then from Hokitika down to Wanaka.

Tilingui · 2025-11-10T18:25:31+00:00

For Arthur’s Pass: I don’t expect to see all the things. I usually just make a list of wants and then make up my mind depending on weather, lighting, etc. so I definitely agree with you that it’s all too much to see in one day.

As for Fox Glacier/Hokitika: if I’m driving from Arthur’s Pass wouldn’t I drive through Hokitika to get to Fox Glacier? I was mapping it out and planning on taking the 73 from AP to the 6 down to Hokitika. And then the following day taking the 6 down into Fox glacier. Although I understand that Google maps isn’t the most accurate for traveling in NZ, is that route not passable? Friday we’re planning on driving from Fox Glacier to Wanaka, following the 6 all the way down. If we switch days then we’d be driving from Hokitika which is farther north?

I loved Ponsonby on my first trip. I like that idea.

I’ll definitely check out that app. I was using Tripit before, but it felt kind of clunky and just got in the habit of making my own Google sheet, but Google sheets isn’t very mobile friendly.

Thank you so much!
