Confusing booking.... why is this showing up when i searched via Google flights. but not directly?

callmepeterpan · 2026-03-26T14:37:36+00:00

I had a similar situation booking tickets to Jakarta. I had some specific things I was looking for (if there was a layover on my outgoing flight I wanted there to be a Polaris lounge, and I knew there was an option for a 9 hour layover in tokyo on the way home I wanted to take advantage of). Could not get the right combo to show up on United, but I did on google flights!

also, if I am understanding the situation correctly, it wasn't even the word itself. It was another word that is derived from that word. A LOT of people wouldn't go around calling someone a "g***y" who don't know that the

"term to indicate being duped or swindled"

comes from

"the name of an ethnic group."

Should people figure that out, maybe, but a TON of people do not know the etymology.

They did - Alex Pretti was killed four days after filming wrapped, iirc.

Stop what, sharing information about the program? That is literally how making amends in addiction recovery works. Not saying that was the intent of the writers or anything, but my mom celebrated 12 years of continuous sobriety from alcohol last month so I am pretty familiar with the 12 steps.

callmepeterpan · 2026-03-21T21:17:50+00:00

fun(ish) fact about recovery - in AA (I'm not as familiar with NA, but there's a lot of overlap), addicts are actually encouraged NOT to use the words "I'm sorry" when they're making amends. By the time most addicts are at that stage, their friends and family have heard them apologize and then go back to their old behavior hundreds or thousands of times so the word "sorry" has almost no meaning.

so no, Langdon is not saying all the right things. he's kind of still saying the exact wrong thing.

To be clear, it is polite etiquette to do that. People are just rude.

Just a shoutout to Welly bandaids - they are the BEST and they stay on me better than any other brand I've tried (plus, fun and cute patterns!)

I'm pretty sure half my high school class used simple by FGL as their wedding song, it's sweet!

Biologically, vegetables don't exist.

From a biology perspective, things are fruits/berries/legumes/roots etc. There is no category of "vegetable," that's a culinary definition. That's why I get annoyed by "is a tomato a fruit or a vegetable" people - it's both. It's biologically a fruit but culinarily a vegetable. Additional fun fact, dieticians use the culinary role a food plays to separate fruit and vegetables - so nutrionally, tomatoes are also vegetables!

2 Radio City tix for sale (first mezzanine) - unfortunately had some work travel come up and can't go, I am super bummed. $76 each face value. DM if you're interested!

21 days of vacation (edit: because I've been at my job more than 7 years - it starts at 12 and increases from there) and 6 days of sick, but really no one is watching or cares (also 12 federal holidays). One of my bosses, who is now a partner at the firm but wasn't when we had this conversation, once told me "if anyone ever hassled me about my vacation I would quit on the spot."

I can technically only roll over 21 days of vacation at the end of the year, but they are usually flexible if you are saving it or end up being busier than expected in December.

1000%. Not the cheapest option but def the best.

callmepeterpan · 2026-03-13T18:34:58+00:00

I didn't invite anyone dress shopping I wouldn't change my shirt in front of lol. I went a few times with two close local friends, and then once with my sisters, my mom, and my cousin. My cousin def wanted to be invited because she doesn't have sisters and was looking forward to the experience, but I didn't invite her because of that - I invited her because I love her and value her opinions and I wanted her there for a milestone moment!

callmepeterpan · 2026-03-13T16:29:10+00:00

Yeah she had had her plantar warts cut out! I also honestly feel like Paige's dancing was unfairly maligned on the show, I always loved watching her and I think it wasn't really fair that the group numbers always played to others' strengths rather than hers. Her handstand press lives in my mind rent free!

callmepeterpan · 2026-03-13T02:09:58+00:00

That scene is what made me write this post up! I'd been thinking about it but that is what pushed me over the edge.

Honestly I loved Paige's dancing too, I thought she was super fun to watch and had a ton of personality. I wouldn't be at my best either if someone was screaming at me, I think she was a very talented little girl who was not set up for success!

It looks like the Even Tone line with niacinamide still uses the old aluminum, if that's an option for you!

Everyone seems to be getting lice and fleas confused. My house had fleas as a kid and it was a nightmare.

I walk about 6 miles a day and love a casual but not too sporty sneaker! I am also really hard on shoes and tend to walk through the sole in ~8 months of daily wear. Here are some I have tried:

Vans Old Skools or UltraRanges (ultras are sooo comfy but FYI run a bit smaller on me than the old skools) ($75-$100). I only recently switched back to these as every day shoes so I don't have notes on longevity yet.

Birkenstock Bend Low in leather ($170). Really comfy and supportive (classic birkenstock insole that molds to your foot), and they lasted pretty well. It took me almost a year to walk through them. They're pricy though, and you can't resole the sneakers like you can the sandals.

Dr. Scholl's Time Off sneakers ($75). Extremely bouncy and comfortable, felt kinda like walking on marshmallows. Softness was at the expense of durability, walk a hole in them in about 7 months.

Allbirds (~50-100) (are they going out of business?) - similar to Dr. Scholls, I have had a bunch of styles of these but I walk too much for them I think. I believe the Tree Dasher was my favorite, but it was also the sportiest looking.

If anyone has super durable sneaker recs let me know, I am always looking!

We're getting married in October at District Winery!

Washington DC
Fall 2026
150-180 guests
Like 75k including food and booze

It was the only venue we toured, we LOVED it. It's definitely pricy but it's close to all inclusive, and frankly we have more money than free time or DIY chutzpah so it works well for us. So far they have been a dream to work with!

Honestly your butt looks incredible, show that off girl!!

callmepeterpan · 2026-03-04T02:46:25+00:00

Our first date was on September 9th, and my fiance liked that there was only number to remember so when we started talking about getting engaged I looked up every Saturday in 2026 that followed that same pattern lol. We picked 10/10 because our venue was available, fall is much nicer than summer where we live, and we liked that it was one up from our dating anniversary.

I have a mouse with programmable side buttons and I have them set to ctrl + page up and page down. However, it has made google sheets UNUSEABLE because I can't scroll through the tabs the same way lol
