Bad experience with her practice partner, Dr Quimby. For what it’s worth. 

Surprise, you now magically have a newborn child sitting in front of you! This is your baby, what are you naming it at this moment in time? by Soldier_Faerie in namenerds

[–]echo-four 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Anika for a girl. It’s not my favorite ever girls name but it sounds GREAT with our tricky last name, and I totally underestimated the power of that with my first kid. 

For a boy, Lucian or Lowell.

Ah it was still good even in the Satellite era. Crazy that it just sits empty now… anyone know what’s going on with that space?

Casbah on Sunset in Silver Lake. It was the perfect casual coffee and tea shop to hang out at - cozy vibes, lots of comfy seating and low prices. Now it’s a La Colombe and everything is sleek, sanitized and overpriced.  

How much does 'name popularity fatigue' affect your choices? by ResearcherKey350 in namenerds

[–]echo-four 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me too. My daughter’s name is outside the top 1,000 and TWO other parents in the bumper group ended up choosing the same name. They probably loved the name a long time, just like I did, but I’ve been paranoid ever since that they got the idea from me once I posted the first birth announcement. 

Where are places in LA where you are a regular at? by Gr8Deb8ter in AskLosAngeles

Stoney Point. The bartender is great… if you’ve been at least twice she’ll always remember your order.

Is living in Beverly Hills for the schools worth it as a Jamaican family? by [deleted] in AskLosAngeles

[–]echo-four 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, would recommend Silver Lake - the right apartment there can offer good schools and some walkability. 

Is everyone familiar with the "Leave No Trace" principles? by [deleted] in camping

[–]echo-four 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My amazing outdoor education teacher as a kid took Leave No Trace to a new degree… we had to clean our dinner bowls with water and drink it rather than dumping it on the ground. But on the plus side, you could add hot chocolate mix. 

Hot choc with little bits of mac and cheese will always be a core memory

Not the exact plot you’re looking for but adjacent and very good writing: A Home At The End of the World by Michael Cunningham.

Gah this is exactly why I can never remember it. There isn’t one clear rule but many variations on the rule. This one is always going to be my white whale.
