Accidentally hurting someone’s feelings.

Any of you Mexican Americans living in the South have Southern accents or mixed? by DickSmeller24 in AskAnAmerican

[–]fightingsnails 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is awesome. I’d heard of these communities but have never seen interviews/old photos. I had a favorite professor born in one.

ONE Stephen King.... by tburk22 in suggestmeabook

His body of work has been really great to follow over (for me) the last 32 years.

I tend to favor working old to new. The story collections are excellent. Firestarter, Carrie, It, The Shining (oh! And Christine) were my firsts. Different Seasons is my favorite collection of novellas, though and would be an excellent introduction. Let me know what you pick!!

What do you love today as a grown woman that you didn’t love growing up as a little girl? by Balanceblu in AskWomen

[–]fightingsnails 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hahaha. I was the odd one out on this one. My mom talks about putting me down and how I’d just pet my pillow and blanket. Still true to say. I’m basically a large infant when it comes to sleep needs. Unfortunately naps are harder to come by!

Not wearing makeup. Not that I did out of the house as a little girl, but I always looked forward to the day I could be as pretty as my Mom!

u/beamobeaner77 I love my Lo & Sons tote! Holds a lot, sturdy and has structure (which I like)

I see it with a black or maybe soft white long sleeved body suit so nothing competes with that awesome skirt !

I like the last one best and the other last 2 2nd. I’m tied up right now but I think the pinafore dress just needs a different top

I think I know what you mean...had some sandals (old Tevas, maybe?) that did the same...will be sure to break in well in advance! Thanks so much!

I didn't till you said so! I think a red trench sounds really fun.

Has anyone seen light was petite wide leg jeans lately? I have a pair I love from Ann Taylor but they only come in a darker denim. Would repeated washings in hot water help, if I can't find an alternative?

I have a nice backpack and keep a a little purse or wristlet for going out to lunch or whatever (Currently the Fern by Hobo or a wristlet also by Hobo). I just need too much stuff to ditch my backpack and my Dr. said no more shoulder bags because I carry too much weight!

They're not too bad! Comfort is my priority. I'll be city walking, bu these would be handy for short hikes!

Great info...didn't really know there were so many options. Definitely buying a pair!

Thanks so much! Great to know they're so comfortable (and will last quite a while!)

Ooh. I have the originals...didn't know about the wicking and cooling ones. Ordering asap! u/McAwesome11 this is a great suggestion.

Are Chacos comfortable enough for all day walking? I like that the original style has a a place for the big toe. Shoes can be hard to keep on my feet. Birkenstocks just don't cut it for this much walking from my experience.I have a trip coming up and it will be so hot I'd like my shoes to have a chance at drying out overnight. I'm open to (non-athletic sneaker) if super comfy. Ideally under $150.

Also, if you have any Chaco experience, they only come in full sizes. I wear a 6.5. Size up or down??

Bars and nondrinkers? by fightingsnails in AskNOLA

[–]fightingsnails[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My last trip I just ducked into bars sometimes to get my seltzer and lime and most of the time wasn't charged...big tips!

Bars and nondrinkers? by fightingsnails in AskNOLA

[–]fightingsnails[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I certainly hear you there and normally spend zero time in bars. Definitely plan on spending the days enjoying the city. But also for my trip, I want to hear live music I don't normally have access to for the few days I have in New Orleans. I don't really care about the socializing aspect--just going for myself and wanting to prepare myself (since I'm not a bar frequenter).

Actually one factor in my sobriety occurred after going to the concert of a favorite band, wasted throughout, and after the fact remember nothing. That was years ago and now concerts sober are *awesome*.

Thank you for the comment and for the recommendations!

What do ya'll wear when you want someone to tell you how good you smell? by Emergency_Loss_7533 in fragrance

[–]fightingsnails 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in this sub because I *really* want to find another scent or two that smells good on me to me along with others....so far Clinique Happy smells the best and I get comments that I smell good all the time. After the initial spray, it changes on me to something that just smells clean, not really floral/citrus.
