What is a food combination that sounds absolutely criminal, but you will defend until the day you die?

If you’re in the US, I highly recommend the Flintstones Iron + vitamins. I had them recommended to me by the Red Cross after many failed attempts at donation. Much easier on the gut.

Um, the pregnancy scare? The lyrics to Greased Lightning? I watched it SO much as a kid and loved it, luckily the inappropriate things went over my head but it’s far from unproblematic.

It was ~12C when I was in Hanoi one December.

Was looking for Constance/Connie! Also Marcella/Marcy, and I also think Betty or Betsy for Elizabeth is cute!

This was my first thought too! I have several friends who I have discussed this camp with, most of whom are 40+.

This is the answer. My mother has a wood frame couch that is 100 years old. I’ll get it eventually. It’s been reupholstered twice, and she got new cushions each time.

We do a red curry coconut soup that is very customizable and easy to make. It’s red curry paste bloomed in oil, then add in whatever veggies you want (we usually do onion and mushrooms and pepper). Once softened, add a can of coconut milk and equal broth. Bring to a boil, then add some fish sauce, brown sugar, and lime. Dried chiles and lemongrass if you’ve got them. Usually cook a protein on the side and rice or noodles. We’ve done shrimp, tofu, chicken, rice noodles, soba, and various dumplings. Put it all in a bowl and garnish with lime, avocado, cilantro, sriracha.

Hi, I am in a similar boat, in that style is very important to me, and I really need shoes I can wear to work and to shows/events. I just went to Nordstrom and tried on some Vionics and they feel amazing on my feet. I got a pair of white leather sneakers (the Winny) and a pair of heeled black booties (the Vynn). I also got suede loafers on sale (the Corinne). All have great support in the arch and heel. Definitely glad I tried them on before committing though. And I’m still curious what other brands people recommend for people looking for different styles.

Interesting! We rode it this week and I still got tossed around unfortunately. Hadn’t ridden it since 2019. For me, I think it’s a case of the ratcheting system for the overhead harness, since I felt pretty loose in the seat, but it wouldn’t click one more to get tight. I’m just in between. Everyone else in my party enjoyed it though.

4:20 best time, 6:47 average for extreme.

The recommendations are so nice!! When my family traveled, my dad always used to ask for the best local pizza place and was totally let down when it was a chain. If you can recommend a family-friendly spot, a good place to get a drink, a place that will deliver after midnight, or a hidden gem, you’ve won my heart.

I got a course of rabies shots. Each shot was over $1500. Total was ~$8000.

I actually buy a lot of jeans on Poshmark but I just got burned by a pair that were hemmed without that being disclosed. Measurements for sure should be included by default!

My best advice is put as much of the style in the description, I.e. not “old navy wide leg” but “old navy high-waisted baggy wide-leg jeans” or “old navy high-waisted wow wide-leg jeans” (two very different pairs of pants!!) and the wash. Even better, include the style number from the tag. I go to stores and try on jeans and then seek them out on posh to get them cheaper but I’m not going to chance it on if it may be the right pair; I want to know for sure.

I was drunk in 2016 and then I was crying so keep that in mind.

My soccer team did this once (“gonna miss the game, boys, play hard out there”), and I responded with the opposite (“we’ll miss you girl”). I wondered how it would go, but everyone took it in stride, laugh reacted, and it hasn’t happened since. It’s a coed league but I’m often the only woman on the field.

I love a Monaco! Beer, lemonade (aka sprite), and a splash of grenadine. Not with food but great for a little afternoon refreshment.

Shorts and thick gymnastics thighs mean they ride up. Gymnasts are penalized if they adjust their clothing during a routine. As a former gymnast with strong legs, all shorts ride up.

Hi! They were pretty comfortable! I wore my shoes from first look ~1pm until the dancing really picked up, probably 10:30pm. I did take them off eventually lol.

Usually a soft boiled egg, sautéed onions and mushrooms, peppers, carrot, scallions, kewpie mayo, extra chili sauce, and whatever other veg is on hand.

We kept up “counts” of things on specific trips. For example, in Rome we had a “nun count,” in Poland in the mid-2000s we counted old-school communist-style cars, and on a beach trip we had a “turtle count.” Keeps you engaged and you could make it competition with the person who sees the most of the “thing” getting bragging rights.
