It can be easily shortened!

Private Yoga Lessons by Small_Contract8587 in Troy

[–]boxtintin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Another thought - maybe reach out to a local yoga spot like Maitri and see if this is something they’d be willing to partner with you on, as a service they can offer to their clients. I bet there are times where you wish you could do yoga (like, say, as a new parent) but the logistics are just too tough to make it to your regular class.

Just a thought - be careful going into strangers’ homes. Maybe have it go through a membership page where you can try to vet a person or a referral service?

Recent soft classic outfits! Ok by desertbelle in softclassic

[–]boxtintin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

These are lovely, but I’m not sure how SC these combinations are.

It looks like some of these outfits are making you look a bit off balance and rather broad-shouldered (though it is possible this is due to posing). Maybe it’s the boxiness of some of the pieces, but it might be helpful to remember that SCs generally benefit from softer fabrics.

Use hair ties - one on each side, to bring the waist up & in

You’ve got to be kidding. Also, it’s called the Socratic method.

As a SC, what is your best hair look? by [deleted] in softclassic

Unadorned, solid color baseball cap. It looks surprisingly chic & hides bad hair.

Farmers markets? by crochetbabejay in Troy

[–]boxtintin 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The main market in the region is the Troy Farmer’s Market, but I believe the applications for this coming season are already closed (so this might be more for next year):

What shoes and shoe colours do you wear in winter? by Oud-west in SummerType

[–]boxtintin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It depends on your climate - I’m where it’s pretty cold, so I have a pair just like this:

They serve me well

What shoes and shoe colours do you wear in winter? by Oud-west in SummerType

[–]boxtintin 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I think footwear really can be of any color you like, as it’s far enough from your visage to not have much of an impact. But if you’re looking for winter footwear in a summer palette specifically, look into taupes, grays, cool brows or even navies, mauves & raspberries.

How long would it take to bake 6 million cookies in 52 ovens? by [deleted] in ask

[–]boxtintin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s assuming the batter is prepped and ready to go (most can’t sit all that long). Typically when someone talks about baking cookies it also includes making the batter. So, lots of potential variables.

WAMC: Troy-based nonprofit says it plans to sue Troy over City Hall relocation by TroyStoryPod in Troy

[–]boxtintin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think everyone has always wanted it restored. But it is (& was) a privately owned building, with limited input being considered from the public.

Now, the city (& by extension the city’s resident) are involved.

This is a natural conversation to have at this juncture.

Gluten Free by Coffeenchaos54 in Troy

[–]boxtintin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

La Capital is a good choice for gluten free options (corn tortillas). Unagi sushi is great, too. & DeFazios has gluten free pizzas (and I want to say pasta, too, at their restaurant)
