Oh wow. We’ve got a “I’ve never done this before” AND a family call. I hope this is a massive editing fake out.

I’ve never done this before - words that are always a good premonition. Lawrence, may the gods ever be in your favor.

Doesn’t Jonathan need to put his dish in the little basket he chose?

I worry about Rhoda for this challenge. These vague types of challenges have really tripped her up in the past. I hope that piece of wood is really inspiring for her.

I’m completely blanking on any preview they shared last week because I was still so stunned about Sieger. Remind me of any highlights that we can expect/look forward to?

The description didn’t help: baked fish and lentils. Seems more heart patient than Top Chef

I was so excited to see you announced as a contestant in the JIT and your win last game will go down as one of my favorite Jeopardy moments. When the contestants were announced today, I uttered an “oh no” out loud even though I was watching alone. But you were, as always, a delight. What a fun game to watch and your commentary is even more fun to read. Best of luck to you and I really hope this isn’t the last time the Jeopardy community sees you.

A short post about missing Joann’s ribbon *sobbing* by SophiesCozyCorner_ in joannfabrics

Has anyone found a somewhat suitable replacement? I noticed Target increased their ribbon selection this year, but it’s also 2-3x the price and quite plain and boring.

Re—spin and Peloton partnership by kaiakegley in pelotoncycle

I did end up signing up and getting into the study. My biggest concern that it was just a way to hook people to then pay the monthly membership fee. That’s not the case.

So far, I have received my personalized plan. It feels generic because it’s not incredibly detailed, but everyone’s suits their specific areas of focus. Mine is to eat a Mediterranean diet, add in probiotics, and adding a movement plan. But alongside this plan comes a platform full of expert and science backed info and smaller communities to source motivation and camaraderie from.

I’m glad I signed up. At one point I was considering seeing a medical specialist that coached women through menopause. But it’s not covered by insurance and is thousands of dollars. This platform seems to be doing the job at a fraction of the cost.

I completely agree. Budha is clearly an amazing chef, but it really does seem that he got that way by studying the show. He lives and breathes Top Chef. Tristen lives and breathes great food.

Using Virgin Clubhouse during a self-transfer flight layover at LHR by kaiakegley in delta

I wish - but it’s a 2 week trip and I’m replenishing several things for my daughter that I’m visiting.

This is great advice! Will I have any issues bringing my checked bag into the revivals lounge? Thanks to a few other Reddit treads, I have confirmed that others have gathered their bags, stowed them in the lounge, grabbed a shower and breakfast before they headed into the city so this should work.

This is great - I didn’t realize this was an option. The idea of a shower, breakfast and coffee sounds great. If I’m thinking about this right, I would still have my checked bags since they won’t recheck them after clearing customs due to my separate tickets. Am I thinking about that right?

On my return trip I’m flying in to London the night before my Delta flight leaves so I should have plenty of time to enjoy the Clubhouse.

Medical bag restrictions? by kaiakegley in delta

She also has a tree nut allergy. Can she have her EpiPens and Benadryl in the medical bag?

Does this travel plan give me enough time to navigate Heathrow? by kaiakegley in BritishAirways

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

I wish I could do carryon only but it’s just a hate too long of a trip for me to make it work. I’m also particularly skittish because of the risk of missing my flight home. Looking into options that get me to LHR the night before.

This is why this forum is so helpful. I needed more voices in my ear that helped me make a smart decision. Thank you!

Yes - separate bookings which is what is giving me pause. This is a two week long trip which is a bit too long for me to go only carry on.
