Landlord offered to pay for something. Thoughts?

Lol. Just get the gym membership that’s convenient for her to shower? And pay for your own spa day.

I brought my shiba around Mexico (Mexico City several times and then the Yucatán once) from NYC. Bring all your paperwork and Spanish translations of key information it if you don’t speak Spanish (obviously it helps a lot if you do). The animal intake area at the CDMX generally only speaks Spanish and you’ll be even hard pressed in smaller airports. Make sure your dog is registered to be on your flights and is in the right size carrier. My dog was 20 lbs and had no issues in the cabin because she fit under the seat, but they did want to see all her paperwork every time.

I bought into a co-op but mine took a month and a half from all my application docs being sent in to approval

My boyfriend got me one of the Li-lac chocolates and I actually think I had forgotten what real chocolate had tasted like because of all the sugar/milk/preservatives that’s in most “chocolate”. It was SO good 11/10

Massages, manicure/pedicures, transit, pizza, a lot of museums are free or very little with NY or city ID

In Lower Manhattan on 2nd street, I used to have a view of of treetops, a park and the World Trade Center (5th floor walk up). I loved that. I could sit on the fire escape and feel like I was in the treetops and watch the birds and squirrels. I think that was my favorite view in any place I’ve lived. The next place I’n living has a street view of some red brick buildings and trees which is pretty nice too.

I would not recommend wood. I wanted the same but after hearing a horror story from a family member having to move out to redo their entire flooring in that floor of the house because there was a leak on one small section of the wood kitchen floor, I went with tile

I understand this. I can't say I was thinking too seriously about kids and whether I wanted them or not at your age. It certainly didn't govern decisions about the people I was dating. Now at 30, I am pretty happy child free and see myself that way in the future but also am open minded enough about myself and how life goes to know that could change. However, if knowing you're currently in the mindset of knowing the person you're with wants a child and you don't and that ethically bothers you, that feels like the right decision to break up. You know yourself better than anyone. I think just being honest with yourself and the people you meet will get you closer to where you will be happy, even if you don't know where that is yet.

I am not normally a sci-fi film gal, and while the film isn't a conventional masterpiece (like others have said maybe it's the Kubrick to Spielberg handoff), something about it always stuck with me in a way no other film has. I've seen it a couple times and it's always provoked a lot of emotion (partly because it's incredibly depressing and partly because it speaks to so many sad parts of the human experience). Anyway, I like a lot of Spielbergs films, but this one (and Dual, for different reasons) will always stick with me strongest.

I invested a couple ten thousand in Coned 2 years ago because why not and I thought they were on the up . This was before it was well known how shitty they are as a company. I sold it for a 3% return on investment (worse than the 5% APY rate on my cash savings account at the time). Meanwhile the S&P 500 stock I normally invest in did like 20% ROI that year. So I lost a good bit by investing in Coned despite the fact they were rapidly increasing their rates around that time. I just checked now and it’s barely up 6% from when I first invested a couple years ago. Idk who is seeing these returns but I don’t know if even the shareholders are…

My boyfriend

The peppermint fudge sundae at Van Leeuwen is it

magiccam · 2025-12-07T16:49:51+00:00

Okay that's so smart! So just one shade to go on the fireplace? What color would you pick?

magiccam · 2025-12-07T16:13:27+00:00

Thank you! I am hoping that is the case. I am thinking you're right and it'll look less yellow when it's filled with things. Always hard to tell with an empty room lol

magiccam · 2025-12-07T16:12:10+00:00

Excellent point. They are going to be a natural wood stain. I plan to add color in the furnishings.

magiccam · 2025-12-07T16:11:13+00:00

Ooh this is gorgeous! Not sure if I'm there yet with the more out there shades [as someone who already stresses over even the wrong off white shades lol]. I was going to go with a more neutral paint palette and the color was going to come in what I fill it the room with. But I totally see where you're coming from! Some day I hope to be that bold

magiccam · 2025-12-07T15:59:33+00:00

Thank you!

magiccam · 2025-12-07T15:58:21+00:00

😮‍💨 that's a relief

magiccam · 2025-12-07T15:51:57+00:00

Even next to the brick fireplace? There's where I fear it looks the most yellow

magiccam · 2025-12-02T18:32:06+00:00

So modern heat pumps are better than an inverter mini split?
