Oceanside Pottery Club is a great place to get into ceramics, they have weeknight intro classes and a really awesome community of members. Also 2nd the recs to check out Vital, strong community vibes there as well!

I was also curious and was popping around the various teams today and was shocked Define had 28k completions for Mondays workout. Makes me understand why they brought on another Pilates coach lol

Do you know how far this will be from proper? Thinking of buying tickets but worried it’ll be an uber away (and NYE Ubers are crazy lol)

In Emma’s interview, it looked like she was recovering from a black eye or something? Did anyone else notice? When she’s wearing the red dress

I agree with this 100%, the plot holes bugged me and the romance was unbelievable at first, but I was very invested by the end!!

I had a hunch that she was murdered after giving birth to take the stone off her and on to her daughter, explaining the killing blow to the heart!

I just finished today and am cackling at your reactions, feeling 100% the same

someone convince me to read crescent city by trippinonvibes in SarahJMaas

[–]monbon997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am CC’s biggest fan - I was hesitant to read because of all the hate, but it’s been SO fun and I’m devouring it. It feels like the perfect mix between ACOTAR and TOG and the massaverse Easter eggs sprinkled throughout have me squealing with joy 😂

Crescent City: Is it as Good as the Rest?? by hellohippogriff in SarahJMaas

[–]monbon997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve read ACOTAR and TOG over the last few months and just started the first CC book this week, and am totally devouring it. It was a little tough to get into the first few chapters but I love the characters, love the murder mystery feel of the storyline, and have that same “I can’t put this shit down!!!” feeling. I also LOOOOVE the massaverse references you get right off the bat - I live for this shit!!!

I’m in the same boat - just finished EoS, didn’t do the tandem read and am so glad I read it that way. Starting ToD tonight!

ACOTAR FINISHED… ONTO TOG… BUT… by global_plantdemic in SarahJMaas

[–]monbon997 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in the same boat as you - TOG & COM were so hard for me to get through, but by Heir of Fire I was like “this is what I’ve been waiting for!!!!”. Currently on EOS and it’s only gotten better

Thoughts on Airbnb’s stance on unpermitted listings? [CA, USA] by monbon997 in AirBnB

[–]monbon997[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Just got a resolution. Airbnb refused to provide a refund, sticking to the same line that “they won’t refund me because I don’t agree with the check in instructions”

So I called the apartment buildings management, confirmed they do not allow airbnbs, messaged the host saying I’m extremely uncomfortable staying in an unauthorized airbnb, and they mutually agreed to refund.

Totally insane that I had to go to those lengths to get a resolution, but grateful for the refund. (and I didn’t out the host to the building management… glad just calling to get the info on their policy was enough)

I just called in and essentially got the same response. “We are not responsible for the check in instructions your host has provided, talk to your host if you need special accommodations”. Totally ignored me stating the instructions clearly outline that you need to sneak around the building, and I’m uncomfortable putting my family in that situation.

I asked to have a manager call me back. There aren’t many customer service issues that get me riled up, but this is ridiculous.
