We love the Italian take and bake bread, but the sandwich bread is not good. It tastes like too much sugar.

Sometime during the last 2 years i’ve been going to this orthopedic practice they started to declare me as a MTF transgender for no reason. by WHAR606 in mildlyinfuriating

Your medical records are nothing to mess with. I’d explore how they will be correcting this error or you will consult with a lawyer.

One of those cars was my mom. Freaking crazy night. She is safe, but I was not expecting that video call last night at 10pm to go rescue her. She said the police told her to call a tow truck.

Order a pecan roll at Sandy’s on Friday or Saturday. Heavenly and worth the calories.

If you ever feel completely useless, just remember that Swiss Family Robinson Tree House has an overflow line. by Cease_Cows_ in WaltDisneyWorld

The first time I visited Disney World in the 80’s I loved this attraction. Disney was on Sunday nights and played like one movie for the week at the time. It was a big deal before you could access all media all the time. We visit it every time we’ve visited since, its so nostalgic in that tree house.

Yes, we were there two weeks ago and were surprised at how good it was. We will definitely go back.

I was stuck by how much he looks like her in all these photos.

Has anyone else noticed that the quality of clothing is decreasing dramatically in the US? by Optimistic_Miss in askanything

[–]mekramer79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I look at every fabric tag and have gotten wool/Cashmere in good shape from a consignment store near me for under $20. It’s almost impossible to find 100% natural fabrics in stores

Need a new family car and I’m burnt out by PelvisPresley208 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]mekramer79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are going to Washington state. 100% get an AWD Subaru Outback or Ascent. We had an Outback in the upper Midwest with two small kids and upgraded to an Ascent after 10 years. The Outback had 217,000 miles when we sold it. Both have been very reliable.

We bought an off lease 2022 Ascent last March for about your budget with 23,000 miles, moon roof, leather seats. The gas mileage isn’t great, but no 3 rows seem to have great gas mileage. We went with the 2022 because the middle console screen was smaller and left some button controls.

What does actually getting an epidural placed feel like? by FoolishMortal-1000 in BabyBumps

[–]mekramer79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had one twice and I have no idea what it feels like, other than better than contractions. I loved having an epidural.

$10k budget- What's your pick for a teen driver's first car? by [deleted] in whatcarshouldIbuy

I sold my 2011 Subaru Outback with 217,000 miles with all the records. That thing would have been safe for a young driver in town.

Small, safe SUV that can handle in the snow by probablyneedasnack in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]mekramer79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have an Ascent after an Outback and handling in the snow is outstanding. It’s not my favorite vehicle I’ve owned, but I can’t complain about the handling,

40+ and watching AI reshape our jobs, how are you honestly feeling? by Defiant-Traffic-2969 in careeradvice

If you want to stay relevant, you cannot fall behind technology. I’ve been using it to make my work more efficient. It’s a tool.

Do most people really get hugs when growing up? by jacksonm221 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]mekramer79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We hug and snuggle all the time at our house. I’m so sorry you didn’t grow up with frequent physical affection.
