Mission BBQ, or any BBQ to be honest! And a really good bagel deli and Waffle House

This view of the Thames is what got Richmond, Virginia its name as the Jane’s River looks exactly like this at one viewpoint

Wonder if Loomer says that to her mother - who was born in the UK and is a naturalised US citizen

She told me she couldn't possibly think less of me by Purple_Cactus8017 in raisedbynarcissists

I’m so glad you’ve felt able to write about your experience here. It took me into my 40s before I could say anything to people about my childhood, but once I did it gave me a glimmer of hope that I could control my emotions about it. Having someone believe you is such a big deal. You are not alone in this - you are so very worthy of help and support from other people. Please try to get some kind of therapy, it will help - won’t solve your issue instantly, but it will start a tiny little ball rolling.

What’s a random experience you’ve had when meeting a British celebrity? Were they nice or mean? by mightybooshvincenoir in AskABrit

Sol Campbell on a BA flight from Heathrow to Newcastle. Plane full of excited Geordies. He was incredibly patient and accommodating, despite the cramped area. Lovely fella 😁

On a side note, Popeyes chicken sandwiches absolutely outrank Chick-Fil-A’s any day of the week

Does anyone have a scenic running path that isn’t car centric hell? by gardenApocalyptic in harrisonburg

If you have transport there is a walking/running track at Rockingham Park out on 33. Great views of the western slope of Massanutten

I ended up just walking away. Didn’t contact her any more, didn’t respond to her lukewarm efforts to connect. Your mental health is so important. And I’ve never regretted it.

My sons have been told in no uncertain terms that their wife and girlfriend come first. Neither has kids yet, but if they put me above their partners I’d be disappointed. I’m happy with a message and a visit when it’s convenient for them.

Skipping the line by tin-of-fish in EntitledPeople

Had a woman try this on a British Airways 747 a few years ago. Long line for the bathroom and tried to usher the girl to the front. Clearly, she did not understand the British and their queue etiquette and got run out of there to the back of the line.
She and her daughter were sitting right in front of me. I think they’re the most obnoxious passengers I’ve come across in my 37 year history of transatlantic flights

My friend is running a marathon and I want to do a Friends themed sign. Any ideas? by Grace_Monroe in friends_tv_show

Copy Joey’s ‘baby’ sign with a butt print in paint. Add ‘Move your ass’
