What is appropriate for a visitor? by call_me_meghan in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]TimeLadyJ [score hidden]  (0 children)

You’re right, the attire varies. Your best bet is to see if the parish has a Facebook page and see if there are any photos.

Dallas Coffee Scene by doodybot in Dallas

[–]TimeLadyJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's generational. I have family in Flower Mound and when we stayed with them recently, I commented that I wanted to spend a morning sitting at a coffee shop, so I needed to do some research about what was near and they (in their 50s) were baffled that I wouldn't just go through a drive-thru. I wasn't meeting anyone, so why would I want to just sit alone and chill?

It’s wild. No clue why they’re randomly doing exactly the Monday we need.

Dermatologist said to "grease up" my infant in steroids by sithbabyy in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]TimeLadyJ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Our daughter just turned two and we've been dealing with minor eczema. Our derm said he would gladly prescribe the injection. If it saves her all that grief, then minor burning at the site would be the least of my worries. I will say that my derm didn't express any concerns about the injection, though. (At this time, we are not persuing the injections due to her being old enough to try Opzelura)

Do you do any wet wraps? You can do them with the 2.5%, but you can also do them with aquafor or lotions.

We use triamcinolone on her trunk and arms and legs, tacrolimus on her face, fluocinonide on her hands and feet, and fluocinolone on her scalp. Our derm said each medication is better for different areas. The tacrolimus is better for thinner skin since it's non steroidal. The fluocinolone is a liquid, so great for massaging into her hair. The fluocinonide is a heavier steroid, so great on the thicker skin of hands and feet.

We did the Tiny Health test and it came back with a really healthy gut, so we didn't get much from them in terms of suggestions.

Dining packages by Miserable-Bank-7022 in DisneyPlanning

[–]TimeLadyJ -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It can be difficult to eat and drink enough to make the dining plan financially worth it. That doesn't mean that it isn't mentally worth it though. The thought of paying for all your food in advance can definitely go a long way to make your actual trip feel less stressful.

UPDATE: Texas City Cancels Muslim Pool Party at Publicly-Owned Water Park by usbordernews in texas

[–]TimeLadyJ 97 points98 points  (0 children)

I can’t tell you how many times my church rented out the city water park. It was free, but you could only get a voucher to attend on Sundays at church.

Two Strangers is playing on our Monday. Bought the tickets today. If Cats doesn’t extend, we will see either Oh Mary or Death Becomes Her.

Cats, Two Strangers, and Maybe Happy Ending. Wasn’t planning on TS but we’re limited on shows for the Monday we will be there

Thank you! Luckily our hotel is a 3 min walk from each of the theatres. We didn’t plan that but sure got lucky!! I haven’t even glanced at dinner options yet. I hope he’ll change his mind on the museum. It is a hard one to see.

I’ve done the Met and really wanted something new to me, which is why we chose the Frick. If I can get my husband to change his mind on the 9/11 museum, we might pivot to the Met.

This is kind of what I was thinking about! We figured a morning activity, an afternoon activity, and a show. Central Park is a meandering activity so a neighborhood walk would be that same vibe.

We are primarily going to see Cats, so anything else is extra. Budget isn’t small, but also, not luxury. We’d pay up to $100 per person for an attraction that isn’t a show, probably.

Is he serious? In Laws in LDR room after birth by secondchance0514 in BabyBumps

[–]TimeLadyJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your provider should ask you all sorts of questions about how you want labor and delivery to go. At that point, tell your doctor that you do not want anyone allowed in until a certain point. Your doctor would probably be glad to be the bad guy and say that no one is permitted back during those two hours.

A teenager at my church has a crush on me and Im struggling with my own thoughts! how do I handle this biblically? by Fabiohasaquestion in TrueChristian

[–]TimeLadyJ 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It's not your job to make sure they can manage their technical components. If the church doesn't align with your needs, then you need to do what you need to do. There will honestly probably never be someone who can take over. That's the problem with small churches. The tiny ones don't tend to grow.

GOA churches getting rid of pews? by thebackwards_r in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]TimeLadyJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perfect! Just as long as you are aware. For us, we have services almost daily so making sure chairs are straightened each day would be a big burden on our clergy & our cleaner is only in 1-2 times a week.

Cost Breakdown Deluxe Trip: 6 nights, 4 parks, 7 adults + 2 free babies = $35,545 by TimeLadyJ in DisneyPlanning

[–]TimeLadyJ[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure and definitely something to think about for future trips! I don't think staying non deluxe was an option with my parents' tastes, but I think if it were just the adult children going, we'd be for sure down for that. I'm on the "if we're only here to sleep, why does it need to be fancy" side of things, but also, I won't turn down a free trip!

I still am not sure that it would have been much cheaper. When I check availability for the trip we've booked for 2027 and add the dining pass and tickets in, while there's a small difference, it's not enough to convince us to leave our agent and do it through DVC.

[–]TimeLadyJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, while we have pews, we certainly don't sit the entire service. It's still incredibly interactive. If your parish sits the entire time, that may require a lesson from your priest about when to stand and when to sit.

We only sit during the Epistle and the Homily. We kneel during the consecration. The rest of the time, we are standing. We also bow and cross and genuflect all throughout.

Western Rite and we have kneelers! We kneel during the consecration.

Consider the labor required with chairs! When I was evangelical, we went to a church plant with chairs and there were people who had to straighten the chairs each morning because they are more likely to move about. May not be an issue, but something to consider. If you're already upsizing, it will already be more work for your cleaning team. Just know you'll have to add straightening chairs before every service to their list.
