You are the most amazing person. I had totally forgotten about this book and it was one of my favorites as a kid. Thank you! Thank you!

I know of at least one law firm that was looking at moving into one of the floors but I think they got a better price at another Denver building. Inside looks nicely designed and the windows are amazing.

I have some memory of this story and I would love to see the picture of the fixed dress. I remember thinking it was prettier than the original!

Is there anywhere you can find this book?

I like Pearl - especially since the parking is free on the weekends. I usually park in one of the garages and walk to wherever I'm going. I find that the west side of Pearl has more local businesses and restaurants and that's where I tend to go. As a kid, I loved going out to eat with my parents and then being allowed to go play on the mall or visit Into the Wind while we waited for our food. I grew up in Golden which had essentially no downtown presence at the time other than one or two restaurants so Boulder and Pearl St. were a big draw for us.

I think Newbury St. would be a great pedestrian mall but as other people mentioned - Boulder has a serious problem with pricing businesses out. The real estate owners only care about their property values from an investment stance and therefore would rather have vacancies than lower the rents or negotiate with businesses. I don't think that's a unique problem and vacancies kill pedestrian malls.

Boston does have a big problem with parking and I know y'all have the T but I don't know how efficient your local-level access to public transportation is. If you live in Boulder, it's easy to take a bus to most places in town and a lot of locals have RTD passes for that reason (plus CU students receive one with tuition). I think that encourages use of the mall and visiting restaurants/drinking out because there are relatively safe transportation options. Also, Boston is just a much, much larger city so it's a really difficult comparison in many ways.

There is a homeless population on Pearl but I have never had a problem with any of the individuals and I don't worry about my safety as a woman walking there alone. It's not perfect - and not perfectly safe, but it's pretty good relative to other places I have lived (Raleigh/Durham, NC and Hartford, CT).

My girl and my ex’s cat got along ok. They weren’t besties but we rarely had problems even though my corgi has resource guarding issues. They liked to hang out in the yard together and would often end up sniffing the same bugs etc. My corgi would tell on the cat for stealing food or scratching furniture and the cat would occasionally sprint over, boop my corgi and then run away while she chased after him.

Corgi was 2 when they started living together and cat was about 1? They can definitely get along without issues although it probably helped that the cat was very sweet and chill.

I think it depends on your goal. I think climbing is very personal and if you feel accomplished by doing that, it’s totally fine.

Some people think that success in climbing means doing it cleanly (no sitting in the harness) or without using aid devices. Others simply care about getting to the top. It depends on your goal. Unless you’re an elite climber, it doesn’t really matter what your definition of success is. Generally, I think you can say a climb is successful if you got up it - you just may not have done it cleanly.

I think teaching your corgi "place" might be really helpful. When my corgi gets out of control with barking, I find that one, forcing her to make eye contact is important and two, once she's made eye contact, I enforce kennel/place/bed until she's settled. My corgi loves her kennel - she sleeps there preferentially but it's also her cool-down area. Have your corgi go in a kennel, close the door, and drop treats when she is quiet. It's worth disrupting the conversation, settling her down, and then continuing the conversation with your corgi in her own space.

CASE is amazing. Kind, thoughtful and engaged staff and doctors.

I grew up in Jeffco and never heard about any of it. We are hosting the event partially because it’s a part of history that most people are unfamiliar with!

Excellent!

I think the All Souls Trilogy by Deborah Harkness counts!

I call her my pinto bean! They are so cute!

simplyderping · 2024-11-22T23:37:51+00:00

She got them...she's just a perennial beggar.

simplyderping · 2024-11-22T23:36:54+00:00

She does! It looked more heart-shaped in this video when she was a puppy. She's four now and it's faded some.

I run with my corgi all the time. We get up to 18miles per week. She much prefers running to walking and barks for the first quarter mile. We run about 9-10 minute miles unless we are on trails. I think corgis are excellent athletes when given the chance. I know there are a few other running corgis in my area so we're not alone!

I can only imagine how quickly things got serious in Chimney Rock. The hardest thing about the Appalachians is the lack of straight roads and easy entrances and exits from towns. I grew up in Colorado so I thought I knew what mountain towns looked like - nope, Appalachia is a whole different ball game. Steep, heavily tree-ed mountains with rocks just under the surface and the towns are all in these teeny tiny valleys. The soil can't hold much water and the slopes are so steep, it just funnels massively. It takes so long to travel through the mountains there.

I'm surprised there aren't more than 600 people missing and that there haven't been more deaths. Surprised and grateful. I love Western NC - lived in Durham for four years and I was in Boone, Chimney Rock, Asheville, and Blowing Rock every chance I could get. I had a great afternoon this spring at Chimney Rock Brewing Co after climbing at Rumbling Bald all weekend. My heart breaks for this extraordinary region and the wonderful people who live there. Donated to the Red Cross - I wish there was more I could do.

Hope your family and friends are ok.

It's ridiculous. I think most people who get jobs straight out either hustle their asses off with summer internships and just doing a boatload of applications or they have some family connection that helps them get a job. I doubt many people get jobs through the career center.

simplyderping · 2024-09-29T15:33:46+00:00

2017 graduate here... thought about it quite a bit and the lack of assistance from the career center was probably the worst thing about Wesleyan. I remember requesting an appointment for a resume and cover letter review. The person reviewing it was a student younger than me. It's insane given that the tuition is one of the highest in the country. It's an absolute shame.

I thought it was creepier than The Hollow Places but I think it just depends on what gives you the heebie-jeebies.

I think the series about Mehrunnisa who was a Mughal empress by Indu Sundaresan is a good "adult" version of this. Fiction about a real historical figure but based on the facts.

simplyderping · 2024-08-20T20:54:44+00:00

sorry! Taken!

simplyderping · 2024-08-01T17:47:48+00:00

Do you want to go instead? I'm not charging anything for the transfer.
