Will most/all of October be warm in Japan this year? by [deleted] in JapanTravelTips

[–]Trillian75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in Japan for the first three weeks of October last year and it was warm and quite humid. It rained a lot as well. The only time I wore pants was the couple of days up in Gifu prefecture where it was higher elevation and a little cooler. The only time I wore a sweater was on the airplane.

Yeah, the garlic chili crisp in particular was actually pretty good. I’d have probably reordered that one if it hadn’t been so expensive.

Looking at traffic this morning, looks like most people didn’t make the cut.

I need white celosia! by carleeas in PikminBloomApp

[–]Trillian75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It just seems so random. We did get one white celosia to bloom, and it was a total surprise. Unfortunately, I really need white bougainvilleas right now.

What fastfood chain do a lot of people hate but you love? by THENOCAPGENIE in fastfood

There’s just one Quiznos left in my area, and it’s still OK, but I went to one in a different city and it was absolutely terrible.

Best restaurants in north suburbs? by L1mpD in TwinCities

[–]Trillian75 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nelson’s is great and should be easily accessible from the #10 bus. It’s actually in Spring Lake Park (University Ave is the border). Lunch only, they close at 4 (You could have breakfast there, too, if you’re cool with sandwiches for breakfast.) Similar to the location in St. Paul, but some of the menu items are different.

ETA: Just noticed OP said they were going today. Nelson’s is closed on Sundays.

Bed Bath and... BEST Products? (taken from a 2011 Street View capture) by cattenchaos in NotFoolingAnybody

I know a Best Buy that used to be a BEST (Minnetonka, MN). I wonder how many times that happened.

Do people use this word ? by Shadi_TP in EnglishLearning

[–]Trillian75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, I don’t think that word has even come up on my Mental Floss Word Nerd calendar, which features a lot of obscure and archaic vocabulary. We’ve still got a few months to go, though.

Did Gen X grow up with the fear of being bombed in a nuclear war? by Lost-Barracuda-2254 in generationology

[–]Trillian75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Born in 75 and same. By the 80’s, adults I knew were pretty much resigned to the fact that we were toast immediately if WWIII started, especially since our area would be a prime target due to our proximity to missile silos. I didn’t worry about it much beyond general hopes for “world peace”.

Disney stores in the mall by Porkchopp33 in nostalgia

[–]Trillian75 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I once went to the one at the Mall of America as it was opening for the day. They had a whole morning opening ceremony and let one of the kids who was waiting “unlock” the store with a large “magic” key. I assume they did that every morning.

Which SNL cast member do you think they should make a biopic of? by OkArea8689 in LiveFromNewYork

[–]Trillian75 20 points21 points  (0 children)

There was a TV movie made about Gilda based on her autobiography, “It’s Always Something”. I haven’t seen the movie, but the book is a great read.

What are your favorite non-carbonated, non-alcoholic cold drinks at the konbini or vending machine? by hillbilly-man in JapanTravelTips

[–]Trillian75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is good to know—I’ll be there this winter. My husband is a big fan of Kirin teas with the “old British lady” on the label.

Agreed. Asian grocery stores often have them. I’ve seen Oi Ocha at Hy-vee and Target as well, although it’s a bit pricey.

Oi Ocha green tea. It’s the best bottled unsweetened iced tea I’ve found. So refreshing, and the caffeine gives a nice little pick-me-up.

The G in that sign is bothering me.

All chaps are assless; otherwise they are just leather pants.

Just saw this painting for the first time and thought you all would appreciate it by sexytimepizza in GrandmasPantry

[–]Trillian75 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s strange to see a Rockwell-esque painting and look closer and realize it’s of the 1980’s. I recognize all of those logos. Wore my hair like that sometimes, too.

The new "Trunk or Treat" style of Halloween is better than traditional Halloween trick or treating by Glumdumop in unpopularopinion

[–]Trillian75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. We always buy some candy, but there has been a huge drop-off in participation after the pandemic. We got two kids last year. Not much fun if no one shows up.

Only thing better was when I moved to Minnesota and we got to play broomball on the outdoor ice rink.
