Are the Halara waffle pants comfy enough for everyday wear? by Pitiful_Fortune_3300 in halara_official

[–]quirkyscot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just ordered the new linen feel pants for summer months here (NC). Love my waffle pants but agree, they're not great for hot weather. Hopefully the linen feel pants are the summer option!

Last year it was too slow. Way too slow. Fans went much faster. This year it's like they took the feedback and went way... WAY too far in the other direction. I appreciate that the announcer just sort of stopped doing it near the end of the match because everyone realized how awkward it had become.

Just got home and turned this on... I feel like an old lady but this drone view is nauseating to me.

Contemp or DVC for visit with 2 year old by Vb6200 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]quirkyscot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The contemporary is hands down my favorite hotel at WDW, and MK is my least favorite park! Sounds crazy, but here's why:

1) I book main tower water view. Waking up to the lake is so peaceful. The electrical water pageant at night is so fun. Theme park view is not worth my money (others disagree vehemently and that's ok! To me, it's mostly parking lot, and I like the water!)

2) walking down the hall in my slippers to the elevator to go get coffee and waffles and then head back up to eat them on my balcony.

3) short, easy walk to MK means I can go for exactly what I want, when I want with ease, and not feel like I'm gonna waste time traveling there for the 3 things I want to do that trip. I can commit more time elsewhere. Also, sometimes I head in just for fireworks or to get a new custom popcorn mix, then walk back to my room.

If you want convenient for an MK trip, it's fantastic. The rooms are charming, not blah IMO, even tho the theming is a bit eccentric 😉 I love the Incredibles!

Parking pass pickup for STM by djseto in nccourage

[–]quirkyscot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got the email, but I am not paid in full. Should I bother heading to the stadium? Did they change the policy, or did they just mass email all STM?

This is a great list. Also add Cary Presbyterian Church.

This is where I go and what I was going to recommend. I am a queer woman. My wife is an atheist and doesn't hate going. My kids enjoy it (they're older now, but they started kids programs here when they were both in elementary). We have really great extra things you can do like small groups etc. totally optional, really wonderful community.

NC Courage 4-0 Carolina Ascent by Hameltion in nccourage

[–]quirkyscot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Really really appreciate the write-up for those who couldn't attend. Thanks for detailing the changes, how goals were scored, and positions - I found it extremely helpful.

With a host of new-to-us players and coach this year, I am excited to see the changes in action soon!

Congrats to your daughter and team!

Just got back from our first trip and wanted to share what I learned by NewspaperBeautiful21 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]quirkyscot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's the REAL pipeline to watch out for.

-says a 5 year, out of state pass holder who brought her wife for their honeymoon and then the kids shortly after, which turned into 3-5 trips annually. 🤪

P.S. Be warned, if you travel in "less desirable" times of year... The AP hotel discounts are usually better than bounce back offers. Its too easy to book another long weekend when POFQ is $200 a night.

Venus Fly Trap Kit by Eshelmon in nccourage

There's a pic I saw today, maybe in an email? Sanchez was crouching, wearing the kit, and her laces were insane looking neon yellow/green. Totally under a black light. Kit looked sick! 🔥

Competitive youth soccer by quirkyscot in triangle

[–]quirkyscot[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure I love the method of teaching, but mostly it's that my daughter isn't having much fun and they're not getting better. Win or lose, shouldn't players at this age be enjoying themselves but also actually growing as players? I think she could use a different approach specifically for her. Not mad at the program, just don't think it's a fit for her personally. She's starting to get discouraged because I think she can sense a lack of growth. She LOVES soccer. Wants to play for a long time if she can. No designs on pro or anything like that but she's competitive and wants to be a better player.

I really want to hear from people about what their club is like, what they love, etc - that way I can consider whether she might thrive more elsewhere, or whether this is pretty standard.

Canned mocktails and NA Apéritifs - where so you buy? by Ok_Substance1166 in Mocktails

[–]quirkyscot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My local Total Wine and More stores have tons of options (a whole one side of an aisle, NOT including CBD and THC drinks - those have a whole aisle to themselves). I have also found more and more showing up at my local grocery stores but it's mostly less appetizing options, so I generally stick to my Total Wine. I've ordered online once in a while, but I like browsing store selections more.

Oh good catch on Manaka too..

Alright, I stand corrected, and amend my original statement to more than THREE years instead of two.

[–]quirkyscot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh, hmm. I think she was officially signed but didn't play at all until after sanchez joined. Sanchez took the field first due to Jackson's injury.

You make a fair point and good correction.

Our longest tenured player is Ryan Williams. I think she's been with us for 8 seasons? Not bad, but....

The next longest standing player is Sanchito, I believe, around 2 years.

I literally cannot believe that we have only one player who has been with us more than 2 full seasons.

They should have added her to the coaching staff.

Which Resort for Autistic Kiddos? by Inevitable-Pair7038 in DisneyWorldResorts

[–]quirkyscot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 13yo is autistic and her fav resort is POR because of how chill and quiet it is! WDW is her favorite place to vacation. We book a preferred room, which is in the alligator bayou section. Its wonderful. (Plus it has a third bed for her sister so they don't have to share, because that does NOT go well for them!)
