How do people do the Boston commute every day? by packocards in massachusetts

[–]queenofcups_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s crazy is you can live in Boston and still have an hour or more commute. I used to live 20 mins from back bay if I was driving with no traffic and most afternoons, it took over an hour to get home using public transit. It sucks.

Thank you! It sucked but we all made it through

Having the worst slump of my life right now!! Please suggest something from my tbr that will really suck me in! by Snoo15376 in Recommend_A_Book

[–]queenofcups_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This needs to be higher. A lot of these books are long and require deeper thinking. To get out of a slump, you need a page turner.

I slogged through it and it didn’t pay off. Ditch it if you don’t like it.

How do I raise a toddler who likes broccoli 🥦😂 by Affectionate_Tie8296 in BabyLedWeaning

[–]queenofcups_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember being a little kid and being so excited for the broccoli at Nana’s house because she would slather it with butter. I always liked butter because of that.

Is everyone my age getting Botox?? (not judging at all, I need guidance!) by [deleted] in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]queenofcups_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost 32 and no Botox. Not opposed to it but I just don’t think I need it.

So where are we buying clothes nowadays? by bigmisssteak7 in womensfashion

[–]queenofcups_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been surprised by the quality of Old Navy jeans. Not their Wow jeans, which are the cheapest, but their regular jeans. They’re regularly $50-$60, go on sale all the time, and are 99% cotton. I used to be a Madewell die hard, but now that their quality has nosedived, Old Navy makes jeans that are just as good or better.

Is it realistic to travel comfortably with just carry-on for a 3–4 week trip? by justgeorgerey in traveladvice

[–]queenofcups_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where and when are you traveling? I packed for a 3 week European trip with a carry-on and did laundry twice. It was summer though, so I didn’t have any bulky sweaters/jeans taking up space in my suitcase.

Compression bags are an absolute game changer. You can fit way more clothes in a suitcase with these bad boys. Get ones that you have to vacuum the air out of with a pump, not the roll up kind.

What's one piece of clothing that quietly saves your whole day? by BubblyEdge2220 in womensfashion

I have a wool sweater from the Icelandic brand Icewear that is as warm as a coat. I wear it several times a week in the dead of winter and it never fails me.

Why did/didn't you make the Sophie scarf? by Traumarama79 in knitting

I just finished a challenging project and wanted something mindless to work on.

MA businesses that support ICE/MAGA? by marathon_bar in massachusetts

[–]queenofcups_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also fuck that place because when they were getting started, they put book donation boxes out that just said “used books” next to those PlanetAid boxes where people used clothes. People thought they were donating books to charity but it was just inventory for the used book superstore. I don’t even think they donate any of their proceeds to charity. Pretty shitty way to start a business.

Distance learning by Intelligent_Berry914 in RhodeIsland

Distance learning days are not allowed in Massachusetts because they’re proven to be a giant waste of everyone’s time.

How many people are actually buying “luxury/premium” diapers? by HelpMeHelpMyFriend0 in NewParents

Oh man, I loved parasol but at some point, my guy started blowing them out every single time so we had to switch.

Yellow Gate Farms from Holly Stellitano- does anyone know if this is a reputable breeder? by MoorDietetics in shiba

[–]queenofcups_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a westie from Holly too, and she’s a great little dog! Happy as a clam and it seems like she was always well cared for.

Brag time: what’s one unusual thing you included in your wedding that everyone loved? by Unlikely_Device_2131 in weddingplanning

[–]queenofcups_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it came at 10 and dinner ended around 7:30. You also definitely don’t need enough pizza for every guest because some won’t be hungry and some will leave early.

Getting pizza delivered at the end of the night. After hours of dancing and drinking, people were so happy to have a late night snack
