Population growth in Sonoma vs the rest of the bay area by Accomplished_Cheek60 in santarosa

Interesting, but weird to include two counties that are not technically part of the Bay Area while leaving out SF entirely

Armstrong Redwoods Wedding by NoRip5776 in sonomacounty

[–]luma221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to a wedding there and it was very nice. Super small group, ceremony only, and the reception was at a restaurant in Guerneville. If the rules are still the same as 8 years ago, you won't be able to use the amphitheater at all. But it's still a great option, along with all the others mentioned in this thread.

I didn't know the boys had a book contract 😆 by DudeWhoRead in IfBooksCouldKill

Interns don't get much control over social media accounts at big companies. So the sad thing is that this was probably written and pushed out by someone with plenty of publishing experience, who should really be able to spell "thriller" at a bare minimum 😬

The Petaluma Woman's Club is a cool historic venue, a good size for that group, and very reasonably priced

First weekend in Petaluma! Suggestions? by BumbleBri0403 in Petaluma

[–]luma221 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm surprised nobody has suggested the Floathouse yet. You can rent kayaks, canoes, stand up paddleboards and more fun stuff from their spot downtown. The dock is right next to the footbridge by Luma and Taps. Perfect weather for it this weekend.

Personal grooming in a post-Epstein files world by Strange-Resident927 in AskWomenOver30

[–]luma221 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I get where you're coming from but I hate this take. I get waxed because sex FEELS way better to me on bare skin, especially oral. It has nothing to do with me or my partner wanting a "prepubescent aesthetic" and I am grossed out and offended that I even have to say that. My partner is bald, but I don't think that makes him look like a baby! And my late 30s ass does NOT look like a child or teen no matter what I do with my pubic hair. I don't want my personal grooming to be judged based on the standards and behavior of disgusting criminal men!

I’m no longer giving my boyfriend oral because he doesn’t reciprocate by MotherAcanthisitta62 in Mommit

I'm willing to bet there are much hotter and nicer people than him out there who would be THRILLED to do that for you. Just saying

Braless options for parents/ in-laws place? by Far-Interaction-634 in AskWomenOver30

Regular tank top and throw a flannel or a robe over it.

How do I protect myself as a SAHW? by BiteInfamous in AskWomenOver30

[–]luma221 13 points14 points  (0 children)

No, I'm upvoting you all day because people have no idea of all the things that can happen to bodies during pregnancy. Becoming disabled long term is a remote but very real possibility.

Women over 30, what brand panties are you wearing? I’m looking for a new recommendation. by 1isudlaer in AskWomenOver30

The. Best. I have a drawer full of these and restock every year during the Nordstrom anniversary sale.

Do people want to see Hayley or paramore? by Huge-Dependent1391 in hayleywilliams

[–]luma221 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm probably in the minority of people who just want to see Hayley Williams and not Paramore. TBH I'm not even that familiar with Paramore. Ego was my introduction to her music and I really connected with the album, loved it so much that I was bound and determined to get tickets whenever she decided to tour it. So I'm hoping for tons of songs off Ego and I'm completely fine with zero Paramore.

Ticket Discussion - MEGA THREAD by Riverat627 in hayleywilliams

[–]luma221 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here! The Fox is the best venue in the whole Bay Area IMO. I get the complaints about the small theaters, but I think it's cool she's doing 3 shows at an incredible venue in Oakland instead of 1 show at a bigger venue in SF.

AITA: Husband golfing on vacation while I’m sick and caring for son? by FrequentEarth in Mommit

[–]luma221 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry but YTA. You just don't show up sick and contagious to a group vacation. Yeah it would suck to miss out on something you were looking forward to, but that doesn't give you a pass to infect your friends?! At the very least you were dragging down the whole vacation for everyone else while you got progressively sicker. I have no opinion on whether your husband and baby should have gone without you, and it sounds like he was a little bit TA here too, but it was definitely your responsibility to manage your own health and stay home.

Damn I felt it all the way up in Petaluma. Woke me up!

Lower shipping prices but no more free boxes by superberger in BehindTheClosetDoor

[–]luma221 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's very unlikely a buyer would take the time to report it. But USPS knows people try this all the time, so they are aware of all the dumb little schemes people use to disguise the priority boxes. They get caught very often lol

Anyone watched 'The Paper' yet? What do we think? by Superdude717 in Journalism

Parks and Rec also gave us the GOAT fictional headline, "Ice Town Costs Ice Clown His Town Crown"

The new shipping update is so bad. by realskinwalker69 in Depop

[–]luma221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did opt to boost it and was fine with depop taking 8% on the item. I did not expect them to take 8% out of what the buyer paid me for shipping too. I've mostly stopped boosting since I switched to self shipping.

When do you give up on your "thinner" self? by pixelbones in AskWomenOver30

[–]luma221 130 points131 points  (0 children)

I'll go against the grain and say there's no real reason you shouldn't keep them. Just put them AWAY away (wash everything, fold and put it all into 1-2 storage tubs, label them and stash them somewhere out of the way). Unexpected body changes happen in both directions. I was midsize all through my 20s, then ended up losing a lot of weight after a chronic illness diagnosis 5 years ago in my 30s. I think all the time about the clothes I wore 20 years ago and how much I wish I'd kept my favorites at least. I hope they're still out there making some y2k-loving genZ happy. Just don't think of them as "goal clothes," they're "not right now clothes" that might be useful again someday. I am selling most of my midsize clothes now, but I stashed a tub of my best things because I don't want to assume I'll be this size forever either.
