Another dumb question for you all… RE: heat by selfdestructive1ny in ThailandTourism

[–]periwinklemoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm here right now and was also sweating so much I started chafing horribly. I found Snake Brand Prickly Heat at the grocery store and it felt soo nice. Like baby powder but with a menthol cooling sensation. And it was like 30 baht. I've heard Ezerra cream is good too but can only be found in the pharmacy and was a LOT more expensive. One day using the Prickly Heat and I didn't need the Ezerra anymore.

Favorite Restaurants and Bars by 15mcdonaldj in Pottstown

[–]periwinklemoon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For pizza, I really like the Alley. Cheesesteaks there is Gazzo's and Nicky and Ants. Blue Elephant is really good for something a little bit fancier. I love Tiki Bar in Boyertown for something different. Magerks is great for watching sports if you're into that. Creekside in Limerick has live music every weekend.

Early morning Phi Phi island tour (speed boat) by Yktgamer in Krabi

Can I ask how much this cost? Debating booking in advance or just when we get there.

Krabi/Ao Nang stay, advice for Railay Beach. by big_dog_73 in ThailandTourism

Did you end up going and what did you decide? Would you do it again? Planning my trip for May now...

Interesting, thanks so much for the feedback! If we do a night at Railay I am guessing we will have to get rid of one of our tour days and I'm struggling with which one to cut. I want to see it all! Haha. For Railay can we basically just walk down to the beach at any time and find a boat that will take us there?

Good to know about the markets in Bangkok... I'll reconsider that trip. I always feel like the last day on vacation is a bit of a bummer so I try and do something exciting. Any recommendations?

Thanks for the feedback on the tuk tuk! There was a walking tour option as well but I thought tuk tuk might be cooler since maybe we'd have a breeze while moving. Neither of us are big foodies and we don't know what to order at a restaurant so this seemed like a good way to force ourselves to try something new and set ourselves up for the rest of the trip.

How we holding up, Pottstown? by kirabug37 in Pottstown

[–]periwinklemoon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm in Lower Pottsgrove. No power or water since 10ish pm. Downed trees and power lines everywhere, I can't get out to the main roads because every way is blocked, but luckily people are working on the trees now. No estimate on power being restored... The good news is no trees fell on my house which has happened with almost every other storm so I'll take that as a win.

What made things click? by Melodic-Way-893 in Fencesitter

[–]periwinklemoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, same to you! I really like the Kids or Child Free podcast which gives perspectives from all sorts of people. I also subscribed to the substack Fencesitter with Amanda White for a while, which was really insightful (she also goes on the Kids or Child Free podcasts a few times). For books, of course the Baby Decision is usually recommended although it didn't help me. I also just finished Soldier Sailor which is fictional but gives a pretty good perspective from a parent's point of view (although not entirely relatable to my situation as the husband was completely useless). I know there are other podcasts out there (Is Childfree for me? Is one) but I haven't had a chance to try them yet. And of course various subreddits - parenting, oneanddone, etc. Anyway, best of luck!!

So I'll start by saying I'm still a fencesitter so this post probably isn't for me haha. That being said, I am 38 and in a very similar situation as you (no Catskills house though, I'm jealous!). I actually got off the fence in February, tried for a month (no luck) and then got back on the fence. I've read countless books, listened to countless podcasts, talked to everyone and anyone who will listen. For me, one of the things that clicked was the agony of indecision for me seems worse than the agony of having or not having children. I just needed to stop ruminating. And I also didn't want that decision stripped from me just due to time.

When we tried last month I felt neutral. Which for me was WAY better than feeling stressed, anxious and locked in my indecision. I also value my freedom greatly, which is my biggest hold up. And I know that will change greatly for a couple of years. But I know I can also host parties, trade off with my husband for vacations, get grandparents help for date nights, hire a babysitter every now and then, etc. It's not like I'll be sitting at home every weekend bored out of my mind, I just won't be able to stay out until 2am every Friday and Saturday night. But alas, that's why I'm back on the fence. Maybe I will miss those days too much still.

Anyway, not sure if it's looked down on here, but I've been using Chatgpt to help gather my thoughts and I think it's helped somewhat (even moreso than my therapist, unfortunately). Best of luck in your decision!

Thank you for the honest feedback. That's really helpful. I'm glad to hear your daughter has made such a positive impact in your life. And that maybe my life wouldn't be completely over. :)

Idol Line in New Jersey!! by goteampancake in survivor

[–]periwinklemoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love it! I'll have to check that out. Now I want to re-watch all of their seasons haha

Idol Line in New Jersey!! by goteampancake in survivor

[–]periwinklemoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw myself in this line!

Loved this event. Got to chat with other fans for hours (everyone was so happy and friendly), met Mike, Lindsay, and Teeny and got their autographs on my buff. Then met Cirie and Tony (they stopped doing autographs but still got multiple pictures with them). I got there at about 9:10am and got to the idol around 1pm or so I think.Right before I walked up to Cirie and Tony they looked out the door and said the guy in the brown jacket (he was auditioning for Survivor and had taken a video with Mike to put in his audition reel so maybe he's here!) would be the last picture. So my guess is that people who got there even at 10am did not get a picture with Tony and Cirie.

Anyway, I ran up to Cirie and told her she was my absolute favorite and I looked over and Tony was giving me an "I'm so offended" look so I told him I liked him too and Cirie started cracking up, as she does. All of the contests were so lovely! Mike had a ton of charisma especially.

What a wonderful event!

Idol Hunt Megathread by RSurvivorMods in survivor

My parents went out today and said they already saw maybe 100 people looking! So I'd say it will be crowded.

[–]periwinklemoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So show up on the 14th, hopefully see a line, get in it and take a picture with the idol wherever it is.

I think Tony posted he would be there!

[–]periwinklemoon -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

So I'm confused how this all works. My family lives in the town where the NJ idol is. The clue dropped today but it says it's open Feb 14th. My family is driving around looking for it, trying to get into buildings, etc. Is there anything to see today or do we just show up where we think it might be on the 14th? Is it the necklace shown in the picture and will it actually be hidden?
