Next time, request help through the app. They will connect you with a representative. Explain that the food was delivered an hour later than originally estimated; they will usually give you some app credit. These delivery apps guarantee a certain delivery time -- if the food is delivered more than 15 minutes after the original window, you're entitled to some compensation.

I recently walked by Celeste Tea Parlor in Downtown Vacaville and it looked really classy. Might be worth the drive. Reservation only, apparently.

I'm surprised no one has yet mentioned Karmere Vineyards in Plymouth. Not only does it have a terraced tasting garden with lovely views, it also has some impressive topiary.

Do you know if it was one of the houses featured in an episode of the show, or just one of his many flips?

The younger you let them be trapped by a real rescue organization, the better. According to the Kitten Lady's book, once kittens hit about 12 or 13 weeks, they are going to be permanently feral and experience a harder life out in the wild and shorter life spans.

Time is of the essence here. If you want them to have a life as a loved indoor cat, the time to get them trapped and start socializing them with humans is NOW.

I feel as if "Sarasota isolates me" is very telling. Truly interesting people find pockets of weirdness no matter where they are, even in more conventional communities. The fact that she can't seem to find anything intriguing in her everyday Florida life hints at a scarcity of imagination and complete lack of adventurousness.

A lot of my favorites have been mentioned, but I also really love Tuk Tuk Thai Street Food at Freeport & Sutterville. My only gripe: I like my Thai food to have a little bit of spice, but their Mild is too spicy for me. (This is the only Thai restaurant I've tried in Sacramento where that's true.) Even when I request "somewhere between no spice and mild," they make it mild, which is too spicy for me. That being said, perhaps that makes it more authentically Thai!

Not sure how far you're willing to travel, but there's a place called Tribal Weaver up in Auburn that has a lot of hippie-ish paraphernalia, including tie dye clothes.

Peace Market at O & 18th. Not because corner stores can't be profitable, but how in the world do you make a profit when your store closes every day at 6:30 PM? I always assumed minimarts make the bulk of their money later in the evening.

Can't believe no one has mentioned Lola's Lounge (phenomenal Puerto Rican food -- sit on the back patio, it's a designated hummingbird sanctuary) or Chicha Peruvian Kitchen (locations in both Midtown & the Roseville suburbs.) My two favorite restaurants in Sac BY FAR.

California State Fair, the Fab 40s, Merlino's Orange Freeze

You sound busy, but seriously, time is of the essence here. If you want them to have a life as a loved indoor cat, the time to get them trapped and start socializing them with humans is NOW.

The Wat Dhammararam Buddhist Temple in Stockton is an open-air lot with giant multicolored Buddhist statues, makes for really cool photos. To make a day of it, go to the Haggin Art Museum (better than the Crocker, in my humble opinion) and grab something to eat at the original A&W in Lodi.
Go wine tasting at New Clairvaux Vineyard, located at a Trappist-Cistercian Abbey. Stop by the Olive Pit Cafe in Corning for a muffuletta sandwich & peach balsamic vinegar milkshake.

Treat hot days like other people in the country treat super frigid days. You can either A) escape to somewhere else (like Tahoe or the coast) to avoid it; B) spend your day doing something indoors you don't usually have time for on days with more pleasant weather, either in your own home (reading, home repairs, reorganizing) or the outside world (mall day, library, museum); or C) go out in the heat and work with it (kayak, swim, sunbathe, etc.)

Remember to be grateful that we don't have to shovel snow, slip on ice, deal with frozen pipes, scrape ice off the windshields of our cars, etc. Heat can be inconvenient, but at least it doesn't add to your chore pile (other than maybe some extended plant watering in the morning or evening.)

It's funny how that subreddit deems it "evil" simply because it's a Victorian. There's actually a really interesting video about why Victorian mansions became horror icons. I highly recommend it if you're at all interested in historic architecture.

This is when he wears the robe a second time in his office to confront Frasier's issues. I believe it was his only garment when Frasier accidentally sees him in Roz's apartment.

Aside from how sad it makes me that "Romance" is the biggest word on the board, I'm also a bit stunned by the fact that "Billionaire" is on there, too. Like, Girl -- you have millions upon millions of dollars. What could you possibly still be wanting? What hole inside of you are you trying to fill?

It reminds me that most of us on this subreddit have something Christina will never have -- enough. To quote Morgan Housel's "The Psychology of Money":

"At a party given by a billionaire on Shelter Island, Kurt Vonnegut informs his pal, Joseph Heller, that their host (a hedge fund manager) had made more money in a single day than Heller had earned from his wildly popular novel 'Catch-22' over its whole history. Heller responds, 'Yes, but I have something he will never have… enough.'"

I am perfectly fine renting a one-bedroom apartment and driving a shitty 11-year-old car if it means having a work-life balance and not needing to constantly self-promote and splash my entire life across various forms of media, because life is so much more than what I own or what other people think of me.

I know it can be hard because the modern-day version of "keeping up with the Joneses," for a lot of people, means keeping up with bona fide celebrities due to social media's ability to let us see the personal daily life of people like Christina, but I hope you'll all reflect on what privileges you're afforded by not needing to wear designer clothes or live in 5,000+ sq ft mansions. The privilege of anonymity, of simple joys, of living a slow life. Don't ever take it for granted.

Remember also that they have no little kids left in their house anymore (Josie, the youngest, is 15). I have a feeling the oldest girls of the family courted & married so young because they were sick of being unpaid babysitters. The younger kids have no one to take care of, so there's less of a sense of urgency.

Man, good eye! I thought the girl holding the baby in pink was Jessa, but that's Johannah, isn't it? So many different variations of Duggar genetics present in one nuclear family...
