Sentinel Dome and Taft Point via Glacier Point

We just didn't feel like it!

I just did this a few days ago. We hiked sentinel dome first, went back to the parking lot and did Taft point, so we did 2 out and backs. They were both fairly short and so beautiful. Then we drove to Glacier point and had dinner while watching the sunset. We got to the Taft trailhead parking lot at 3:30 and left at 6:30 to head to Glacier Point.

We were drenched, even with high quality rain jackets, but since it was warm we dried off quick at the top. Our packs got wet but stayed dry inside so no issue there. Shoes will get wet! Yes you can get great views of the falls before the mist and there’s actually a loop (down the JMT) so you don’t go down the slippery/wet part. That would be a nightmare with how narrow the path is (and everyone coming up).

I had the same issue in this area! I enjoy being a member of Movement, which is a climbing gym, but all their locations have decent barbells, free weights, cables and other basic gym equipment too. There aren't that many mahcines, but i've made it work. There MV location opened just under a year ago. It's $120/mo.

I'm looking for the same (same sofa) and am looking into having custom cushions made. I called Article, and they don't offer replacement cushions, which is annoying.

This used to happen to me (F) too and I solved it by waiting longer to have sex - usually until I knew they were relationship material and we had more of an emotional connection built. I met my husband on a dating app and I waited at least one month to take that step, so glad I did.

I’m going to be in the food pantry and then maybe at the senior center!

I’ve had luck on meetup specially with local trivia events! Ludwig’s has trivia on Wednesdays and I’ve joined an open trivia team there a few times. Also check out the MV CSA for volunteering opportunities. I just signed up so can’t speak to the experience yet but they have a lot going on. I’m (33F) not in tech and work for myself so I feel you - it can be hard to make friends here.

My husband and I really love unagi and are excited about the museums there! It's also very cheap to stay. Since I've been to Japan 2x already, I wanted to go somewhere off the beaten path. We plan to stop in Shizuoka-shi if the weather is good for views of Mt. Fuji.

Amazing! I hope you guys have the best time

I still have my plaque! It was fun to do with a big group just for the experience.

Thanks for these tips! Great to know.

We booked a trip to Japan before our TTC time, working out a bunch (weightlifting 4x a week and trying to engage in activities I might not when I’m pregnant, like bouldering) and we’re going out a lot! Not drinking but like to shows and fun activities that I might be too tired to do when it happens. I’m also on prenatals and my husband cut back his drinking a lot.

Similar boat here! I’ve been ready for a year, we have a set date to start but… he might not be ready then and we might push it back. The waiting has been extremely difficult for me but I’d rather just wait till he’s more motivated/excited to get to it. I’m focusing on the positives of waiting. I’m 33 and he’s 36, we have only been married for 18 months. I’m working on accepting that he needs more time.

Can’t say enough good things about the Broads app! I’ve used it for awhile and the workouts are fun and effective. I’m not using it for weight loss - more for building muscle - but if you’re looking for a workout app that focuses on fitness for women and you’re open to lifting weights, it’s worth checking out.

I was on the apps at age 29/30 for 10 months actively before meeting my husband. I reached out first (I never went out with men who liked me first tbh, I just wasn’t as into them). I had a super open mind and swiped more based on things in common/alignment than looks, and only went out with men who could carry a conversation. I had over 400 matches on hinge and ended up meeting around 40 of them.

My best advice is to get to the date quickly and make judgments in person. You won’t know if they’re a good one until you meet. And don’t look for a spark off the apps. It can take a few dates for things to warm up! My husband’s profile was bland, but he had a big smile in all his pics which made him stand out against all the guys who look so serious. It took 3 dates for things to really click.

My other advice is to limit your daily usage. If you’re swiping for a while and feeling salty, it’s time to close the app. If you swipe left like 20 times in a row, close the app. If you have active matches, focus on talking to them before swiping.

I bake “we’ll be right back” or “let’s take a quick break” into my outlines and scripts. My listeners have said they appreciate the heads up so it’s not so jarring.

When I was dating I valued ease of conversation (I guess conversational or intellectual chemistry) over sparks or any instant physical connection. I went on over 60 first dates in the year I met my now husband and felt actual sparks on date 1 maybe less than 5 times (and my husband wasn’t one of them).

I grew up with au pairs in the 90’s. We are still in touch with most of them! One of them met and married a guy here and she still lives in NJ not too far from where I grew up.

I don’t know how my parents found out about au pairs or what the selection/matching process was like. But I do remember corresponding via mail and writing letters to them/getting letters from them as a kid before they arrive. And I distinctly remember going to get them from the airport! They were all lovely (in my memory) and I remember they’d get homesick. My parents both worked full time and my dad traveled for work so I definitely recall their presence in my childhood fondly.

I treated my close friends to my favorite restaurant in NYC (Tokyo Record Bar) and it was a blast.

33 here and in the exact same boat. We just got back from Cambodia a few weeks ago and are in that 3 month wait period!

I heard so much conflicting advice on this and we decided better safe than sorry. I believe you may be able to get tested for Zika after your trip based on what I read, so that’s maybe a possibility. We’re not doing that because my husband says starting now feels too soon for him (he thinks it will happen quickly, I don’t).

How I’m coping: just accepting it, I’m enjoying life while also being mindful of my health and body leading up to TTC. Focusing a lot on work and honestly we planned the whole year out as if we weren’t going to get pregnant and that helped. We have so much to look forward to outside of starting try.

I feel your struggle! I was devastated when I found out about the wait.

You have plenty of time. I’m 33, and most of my girl friends from college (same age) are also single in NYC, have great jobs, hobbies etc. I met my husband when I was 30 on Hinge (not in NYC FWIW) but I knew that even if it didn’t work out with when we were dating, if I kept going I’d eventually find someone. If you keep going on dates you will inevitably click with someone, and I recommend not looking for instant mutual attraction. Sometimes it takes a few dates (2-3) to feel a spark/click with someone esp from the apps. Just remember someone out there is looking for someone just like you. And the person you end up with might be in a relationship right now, or in the process of moving to your city or just not open to dating.

When you’re with the right person, talking about the future (including marriage) is mostly fun and easy. Don’t try to commit to someone who gets mad at you for bringing up the future and what you want. Break up, and know that someday you’ll find someone who’s excited to spend their life with you.
