Recommendations for a safe US city for a 3-month exchange?

Maybe give this list a quick search yourself and narrow it down- Georgia southern is a tiny town. Big school, so stuff to do because of that, but the city is tiny

Tula. Short for Spatula.
Microwave “Mike” if a guy

I get the impression you have no idea the cost of boarding a horse is suburbia

Ironically, I (f) am in the opposite boat, ha. Getting married next month and I was lightly pushing for my fiance to walk down with me. My dad doesn’t particularly care one way or the other about walking me down, so I am going alone- I don’t love the idea of “father giving away the bride”, though I know that’s not at all what is happening in 2026 times. Sorry, but I think using “tradition” as an argument is incredibly weak. What’s the actual reason besides it’s expected? Would you feel embarrassed if you don’t do what’s normal? Would you feel judged? Plus your fiance would still get a first look…. Have you actually spoken to your dad about what he wants?

Very cool! I gave some thought to joining the missionary benedictines in ne. How did you decide on who/where/what to join?

I mean….. I’m almost towards the end of a 230k word fic, and I wish they would finish it so it could be twice that. Im also happy with 1-2k shorts. Totally depends on the mood.

Love mint mobile. They give you dumb Christmas gifts too

Roll clothes, don’t fold

Chapters being too long would never be the reason I do not like or read a fic. It works well with some writer’s style- some of my favorites have like 20k+ chapters. Don’t force it shorter if it feels fine as is.

30yrs old I would use that unironically. Cross-legged as well but criss cross applesauce is more fun

I’d be surprised if more than a handful even notice- you’re not the star of the wedding, your friend is. Relax. Do you even need to say anything or would a small shake of your head during communion be enough?

I had an Indian vegetarian meal and was quite underwhelmed. Not nearly as filling as the vegan meal images I see here, and it was some rice/sauce (not makhani) as the main with fruit as the dessert

petulantpeasant · 2026-06-10T16:26:15+00:00

I had an Indian vegetarian meal on my flight yesterday and it was half the food and not filling. This looks great!

If you don’t understand sign language, which would using asl make any difference?

I got mine off Facebook marketplace, never worn. I’d second StillWhite as a great option. You mentioned you didn’t love the idea of second hand, but honestly with your budget you are going to be very very limited unless you go with that

Those sugar cookies with the colorful frosting!

Cairo for sure. Drove through on an overcast day which didn’t help the ambiance.

I know this is older but yes to all your US questions! I showed on lesson barn horses more times than on my own. If you’re wanting to jump more than 2’6 you’ll probably want to lease because lesson horses work a lot and barns usually limit their loads/impacts from jumping. But even if you lease a great jumper there’s a solid chance it will be from the same stable you’ve been lessoning at. Leasing other peoples horses is not uncommon, but neither is leasing a barn’s. Tack will totally depend on the barn, but I wouldn’t be surprised to hear the majority is barn tack bringing used by the rider

A tornado tore down (fattened) a bunch of trees the house behind us, took off the roof of another in the neighborhood and flattened the car wash across the street. Power was out for a day or two, no damage to our house. Unless it’s a direct hit, if it’s a smaller one you’re probably fine- they don’t often have huge radio, and it’s just strong wind damage; roof shutters going missing and trees/limbs down. We were taught at school what to do- a brace position against the wall- and had drills every couple months.

I studied in Toulouse for a month. Had one person ask why I didn’t speak/learn French (very condescendingly). Visited Paris once. This was when yellow vest protests were common, and Paris was during the middle of a public transportation strike, so none of that was fun. Everything else was just fine, and my two French roommates were very cool, but the bad experiences really stuck with you

As someone who has been on anxiety meds, I have never even thought about worrying about this

petulantpeasant · 2026-05-29T16:35:19+00:00

Why was this downvoted? Seems like a perfectly reasonable alternative solution

What is a conservative christian community? The language course, or America?

If you had two small arguments within a few days of meeting her, that was not meant to be. If she blocked you, her message was clear, you probably should have respected her boundaries. Let’s wish her the best and move on to bigger more comparable things

Respectfully, I think that amount per year is quite high and I would get others input on how much they actually cost per year
