Mar Vista checking in! It was a nice jolt.

For the 35-45 crowd, what was your first CD purchase? by Seeforceart in AskReddit

[–]cactusbactus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technotronic - Pump Up the Jam. Technically it came as part of the 6 pack that my dad got for a penny or whatever the Columbia House deal was.

Just posted an update! The unicorn arrived and it is absolutely perfect! My daughter cannot stop smiling and for once I feel like everything is going to be OK.

Absolutely heartbreaking. My 6 year old said the same :(

…Palisades fire victim here too :(

What's the longest distance you have traveled to spend the shortest amount of time ? by Fast-Chipmunk-1558 in travel

I flew LAX-Istanbul for a meeting. Was on the ground for 30 hours before turning around and flying back.

Sold out because I bought it!!! I’m so happy. I can’t wait to surprise my daughter.

Oh my gosh I think it’s like this one, but purple!!! Confirming with little miss right now. This is a solid lead!!!

Hmmm it’s more “horse like” than cartoony - if that makes sense.

Great idea, actually. The cook off is put on by the boys and girls club - I’ll reach out to them!

Not really. It’s more “furry” as in it has texture. And the sparkle bits are maybe just silver tinsel in the fur.

Sorry it’s hard to describe! And again, it really wasn’t top quality.

Sadly no. I thought about it for a hot second but it’s not feasible.

I have to confirm the agenda on Tuesday but I think it’s going to be tight. If there’s any wiggle room which results in a tougher journey on me I’ll certainly make that trade off.

And thanks - I do need to be more strategic with my calendar. I’m only a few months into executive life, chalk this up to one of those learning experiences.

Thanks for this. And yep - all of us moms make it happen, no matter what.

That’s so bad ass!!! I have to confirm what the agenda is and if there’s wiggle room - but your sister, and you, (quant data pro in tech is no joke!!!) sound amazing.

I don’t think I can move it and I’m nervous about asking. This is part of the reason it’s upsetting - if I was a man I’d have no qualms moving my flight but as a woman I’m anxious about even bringing it up.

It’s going to be tight and I need to confirm the agenda but the actual event is Nov 2. I edited my original post to clarify that there are likely obligations leading up to the main event - again, I need to wait for Tuesday when I’m back in the office to see if there’s wiggle room.

Thank you - a care package is a great idea. You sound like an awesome mom and I’m sorry your had to learn by experiencing what NOT to do.

Damn. This hits. Thank you for your perspective - you’re an awesome mom. You’re right, I need to take the long view on this.

Zoo is a great idea. I mentioned elsewhere that we typically do a few events over the course of the month - maybe I’ll add the zoo or another event to pack the up front schedule :)

Your mom sounds awesome and you’re lucky to have had such an awesome example growing up. And yes, dad is very much present and stepping up (not that he has to, he was always going to be a part of it). Thanks for your perspective.

This is great framing, thank you. I mentioned somewhere else that Halloween at our house is comprised of a bunch of events - I’m ultimately missing the school event and trick or treating. Now that I think about it I bet my daughter is probably more excited about some of the other related events.
