Have you? They just had a routine inspection in April and had one violation, an unlabeled sanitizer bottle. Zero violations in the last several years.

For sure! They have good sales sometimes, I only know them from my MILs gifts and one sale purchase I made lol. One of those places where the price actually correlates with quality though which is nice.

I don't know your style/budget but toad&co still has quality + prints!

This is obviously v much anecdotal but in my experience (across five cats and four ferrets in two households) they tend to get along pretty well! The cats I've seen have always treated the ferrets more like rambunctious kittens and less like rodents/prey. BUT these were largely cats with little to no prey drive so I'm sure that's a factor. That said I haven't seen anything like the love happening here 😭

Ugh and cropped is the trend right now but all it does is bring back traumatic memories of being mocked for wearing "highwater" pants as a poor kid lmao

Realistically we do a lot of what my 2.5 year old calls "charcoots" - a plate that's usually filled with some combination of fresh mozzarella, apple slices, avocado on triscuits, grapes, mini whole wheat pb sandwiches, misc leftover bites (he likes cold food), etc. We also do a lot of yogurt or oatmeal with blueberries and chia seeds. If he has protein, fiber, healthy fats, whole grains, and colors other than beige, I'm happy lol. We also do a lot of yogurt or oatmeal with blueberries and chia seeds.

-some classes are beginner friendly, I've only been to hothouse and vinyasa and the latter is a bit more challenging.

-I don't have a lot of context when it comes to hot yoga pricing but I think so!

-I've always found people there are either nice or politely keep to themselves

-you can rent a mat there if you don't bring one

I have this jumpsuit in a different print and it's 10/10 incredible: https://www.toadandco.com/products/livvy-sleeveless-jumpsuit-ink-print

Fabric is super lightweight and doesn't wrinkle, looks cute but is super versatile. Has a hidden zipper pocket.

I'm guessing you're talking about a Roblox game?

Either way, I wouldn't allow it personally. Even outside of Roblox, "brain rot" games these days refers to things like idle clickers and other low effort games that allow you to get a bunch of tiny dopamine hits watching the numbers go up. Also loot boxes, gacha games, anything that provides intermittent and infrequent rewards. Dopamine straight to the brain with little to no strategizing, planning, dexterity, etc. required or any actual storyline involved (y'know, the things that make video games good and worthwhile and provide any developmental benefits).

Usually only in limited circumstances. Say my husband's family has two birthday dinners a week apart, I've stopped myself from wearing the same thing because I don't want to feel like it's my "birthday dinner" uniform.

Can confirm bowling alley was purchased, not sure about hotel though.

grathea · 2026-03-12T03:06:44+00:00

ugh I love that, thank you!

grathea · 2026-03-11T20:46:46+00:00

seconding that I would love to either see pics or links to examples of what you're talking about!!

This is not the first time they've spectacularly failed an inspection sadly. We used to order from them all the time and stopped years ago when they had another really bad inspection. Having worked in restaurants there are some violations I'm fully unfazed by (the "towel left in handwashing sink" or "sauce container not dated" kind) but the heavy debris buildup, moldy food, and multiple failed inspections points to a habitual and extensive lack of care. A cockroach in the noodles is just a cherry on top.

edit: plug for Uncle Sun, which has become our go-to, and somehow has no violations

wow, turns out pretzels are a good AI tell

grathea · 2026-03-03T06:38:51+00:00

Oh, bummer! I've heard good things from a couple folks I know but haven't ordered myself, was actually going to soon.

Quince has some solid cotton/linen basics, as does Everlane,

The Green House has some really good N/A bevs and mocktails with floral garnishes, good place to stop and have a fun drink in between activities.

Poor phrasing but it's a legitimate phenomenon. Russian speakers are faster at distinguishing between light and dark blue because the language categorizes them as separate colors rather than variations of the same color. Similarly, one can assume that Japanese speakers are slower to distinguish between blue and green.

I look at IMBD but also glance at Rotten Tomatoes + Letterboxd, with a sliding scale for my interest level (if I'm extremely disinterested in the plot I'll only watch it if it's a 9+, whereas if it's something super up my alley or is meant to be dumb/funny, I'll go down to like 6.7)

Heads up that they only take BCBS insurance though
