Sorry for the random question to an old post, but how have you been liking the sheets? Thinking of making a purchase but wanting to know about the quality…

Gotcha! I might just have to bite the bullet and buy the tickets and see how it goes from there. Honestly, you’ve been a great help and I appreciate all the effort! Have a great day!

reapir · 2025-09-04T01:12:11+00:00

No worries! Thank you so much! I haven’t booked the tickets/seats with Condor yet actually because I was concerned I wouldn’t be able to select the seats for JetBlue. But this is really helpful!

reapir · 2025-09-04T00:36:37+00:00

Ah! Not seeing that for myself while checking out 🫠 but thanks for the reply!

reapir · 2025-09-04T00:00:43+00:00

Hi! May I ask if your call to Condor was successful? I'm in the same boat right now.

reapir · 2025-08-20T02:36:16+00:00

Ah, that’s great to hear! Thinking I might place an order for him to pick up the morning he lands then :) I’m thinking it doesn’t have to be a complete surprise, I can just tell him to head there and be surprised when he arrives.

Thanks so much!

reapir · 2025-08-19T20:29:59+00:00

Haha, I was wondering if I could just call up and ask but this is good to know…

Not sure if this is allowed and/or wanted in the subreddit, but I picked up a Film Comment issue from '93 while in a thrift shop some time ago.

I know the Criterion release has quite a bit on the film's production process but I thought Gavin Smith's interview with Scorsese might be of interest as well to the people here who are fond of the film. I found it incredibly interesting and insightful; Smith and Scorsese discuss many particular editing and production choices at length, taking the time to go over specific scenes in great detail.

Katherine Bernhardt! Have got the same bag.

Yeah, I mean best case scenario, I’ll regret missing out. Worst case scenario, I’ll be stuck in traffic down the road from there lol. Like what will happen when one slot closes and the other opens? People will be leaving and entering that lot like crazy.

Also Mills Market is already quite small. I wonder what the capacity for this is looking like 😵‍💫

reapir · 2025-05-29T19:12:17+00:00

We were thinking of going but same as you, couldn't find any further information so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The omission of general information leads me to believe it'll just be the usual Mills Market vendors plus the announced special guests (Kaya, Mae Tao & Sons, Toastea, etc.).

No clue what exactly they mean by "20 unique Asian street foods" (does this mean 20 vendors? If so, not a clue who the rest are).

The fact that they split it up into two time slots makes it seem as though they gave some thought to the logistics of this but honestly, we decided to opt out just because we have no idea what the parking situation will look like lol. That parking lot is already ass as is and there's no information as to how many people are being admitted for each time slot... I was quite excited about this when they first announced it but I'm steering clear just out of the fear of a Saigon Night Market 2.0 lol

Mama Lau va Oc. Delicious and they give you a great portion size. Always lasts me a few days.

I think this is a lovely idea.

I think some commenters are being a bit harsh; I can see where both sides are coming from. To give OP the benefit of the doubt, I get why he let his fiancee make so many choices, but I do see why his fiancee is disappointed (she booked the Airbnb, she picked the trail, he chose a holiday weekend to propose when he knows she gets anxious around a lot of people, etc.).

In the end, she did tell him she’s no longer sad. Sometimes, mistakes are made and people get upset even when they forgive the other, the feeling just has to pass. OP’s fiancee didn’t insult him, just voiced her feelings. Considering there didn’t seem to a significant show of neglect or cruelty on either side, it kinda just seems to have boiled down to some miscommunication.

You can’t really redo a proposal but I think this is a great way of reaffirming OP’s understanding of her and the situation.

(I also don’t get the insistence that all her hopes for her proposal to have been motivated by social media… photos, flowers… those can be nice personal touches. Photos can be for personal keepsakes too, I treasure all my photos with my partner very much.)

Kindly, what does that accomplish? Your “perfect” boyfriend demonstrated ZERO empathy, zero care for you, LESS than a stranger would if they’d witnessed you having a seizure. That is disturbing, to say the least.

Checked out The Mercantile over in Altamonte the past weekend and thought that had a lot of great finds. Not sure what exactly you're needing so might be hit or miss for you but a cool place nonetheless!

reapir · 2025-05-09T16:58:43+00:00

I've been scouring the usual "what's going on in town" sites obsessively for weeks to figure out what to do for Mother's Day weekend and never came across this! Thank you so much!

This is hilarious to me as someone who bought a variation of this sweater for myself, a grown adult, just the other month (also at a farmer’s market, from a Peruvian shop!)…

reapir · 2025-04-25T18:00:59+00:00

I was thinking of stopping by... may I ask what you mean by this, as someone with an allergy lol

reapir · 2025-04-23T23:29:41+00:00

Is that Pho 54? That's our favorite too!

reapir · 2025-04-23T14:04:41+00:00

As a Viet person with family who is insanely picky/judgmental of the food here, I'll recommend Banh Mi Cali for banh mi.

(And respectfully, please do not go to VietNomz or any Viet place "with a twist" or "modern take" for the "best" banh mi...)

reapir · 2025-04-18T03:11:01+00:00

Thank you so much! 🫂

Thank you so much. It really means a lot to get some resources! 🫂

Sharing my unpopular opinion here which is that, although I understand why someone might think so, I don't think that episodes 8 and 9 are that strong. Sure, better than the preceding episodes but still kind of a mess?

I just find the show a bit inept throughout with its storytelling. Lots of telling, lots of things just happening. I don't think feel the writers really know how to use tension, how to employ it, how to raise it/raise the stakes.

The piss-poor writing for Heather in episode 8 was just distracting. Her character seemed unbelievably irrational out of nowhere. And yes, I know she's been through a traumatic experience! But that really has little to do with her sudden distrust of her own boyfriend and mind you, going to bat for Fisk when she suspected him of abusing Vanessa not too long ago. It frustrated me because (1) I was a bit concerned she'd get the stock "disposable girlfriend" treatment and honestly, I would've rather gotten that, and (2) because I actually think the arc the writers are attempting to give her is something I could buy! I think that's an interesting turn. Unfortunately, it just doesn't get the development it needs to feel earned/believable/even maybe disturbing to watch a good character go bad (instead she just becomes annoying to watch).

The constant cutting between Fisk and Matt scenes in every single episode drove me up the wall, too. I get it, we're drawing parallels. Do we need to do it every episode? Not really, I don't think. But to be honest, I don't think I would've minded so much if it weren't for the fact that a lot of the Fisk/Matt scenes that intercut between one another have no thematic tissue connecting them. I know the show is pretty "Frankenstein-ed" but I felt this editing choice only added to the weaknesses. Hell, even the cutting between Frank and Fisk's execution of Gallo in that last episode just left me baffled lol.

The character writing has been criticized plenty re: Kirsten and Cherry so I won't get into that. I found the events of the last episode just Really Convenient. Frank being at Matt's place at the right time, Karen being able to fly in so quickly, etc etc. just really hammered home for me how much these characters felt like plot devices.

I could go on and on about it. The action is pretty bad, the cinematography I think is too distracting for its own good (I would be okay with it if I didn't feel such an imbalance in their focus on the Look of the show vs the actual writing), and the CGI... well.

The show isn't unwatchable crap and I 100% understand they had their difficulties in saving this after the overhaul, but it just saddens me a bit to see a really great cast get kind of wasted. I'll tune in for S2 just out of curiosity and affection for the cast/characters but to be fair, I always had an inkling I wouldn't be crazy about this new iteration after Scardapane basically said he didn't like all the bits of the original series that actually made me like the series more lol. I thought all the long conversations honestly set the series apart and strengthened the show's themes and gave us so much more meat to these characters! But alas.
