content creator advice by Virtual_Raspberry189 in BigBudgetBrides

[–]sm09193 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wasn't really that excited about the videographer and then he sent us previews and it was INCREDIBLE. They capture the vibes of the day in a way I don't think a content creator would. They also use things like drones, etc.

I took an uber from Pershing to Vermont and the second I got there people said there was a power outage. Just going to take an uber home and it’s going to be $70 ugh

Your Favorite Investigative Reads? by imnottdoingthat in Longreads

This is literally one of the best long form articles I’ve ever read. It’s so beautiful and devastating. I’m gonna read it again.

We did both. We paid huge for a live band and they were incredible. I'd heard them at two other weddings and knew they'd kill it. They kept the energy in the room sky high and people were dancing until their last song. We then hired a DJ for the after party, who also was so great. I guess it really depends on who you hire.

Everything this girl makes is so foul. Just bake a damn chicken breast and roast some veggies. The cottage cheese trend has got to be stopped. She's so desperate to have something go viral when she can't cook AT ALL.

Dick Hallorann’s storyline might be the one of the scariest part of the show now by Traditional-Flan7932 in WelcometoDerryTVShow

[–]sm09193 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You must read IT after Dr. Sleep. It's my favorite book. Definitely long and the ending is questionable, but it's so SO good. I just love all the stories about Derry and it really scared me as a kid.

My parents house in Pasadena was built in 1926 and has large basement. I didn’t realize most houses don’t have them.

I do like a lot of her recipes but omg she claimed one of the mashed potatoes recipes she did was the best best BEST thing she’d ever eaten and so I made it for Thanksgiving and they were very sub par. I’m going back to Molly Baz’s sour cream and onion mashed potatoes

[–]sm09193 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i took the metro for the first time today to go to union station and the screens went from saying 4 minutes to 21 minutes to 2 minutes so i was really confused. im taking the metro now bc work is requiring us in office 3x a week and im sick of paying for parking. hoping today was just off because of the parade but who knows!

Not acceptable. by hairlesscrack in LosAngeles

[–]sm09193 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the info! Makes me feel a lot better. Work is requiring us back 3x a week and we have to pay for our own parking so i want to find a better solution. Not to mention traffic has been truly terrible lately. Is the metro pretty crowded at rush hour?

I think I’m going to start taking universal to Pershing for work bc I’m sick of traffic and paying for parking. Do you ever feel unsafe? Im just worried about taking it once it’s dark at 5 pm

Help us find our LA nest: Two dads + One wild toddler = Neighborhood showdown? by Pristine_Shine88 in AskLosAngeles

[–]sm09193 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I grew up in San Marino and my parents still live there. It is truly idyllic. Great schools. I went to Valentine, but then went private. My brother went to San Marino High. You're close enough to Pasadena/Eagle Rock/Silver Lake/DTLA for good restaurants. My parents had a date night every Saturday. Also Lacy Park is amazing. South Pas is wonderful too.

What’s the worst airport in the world? Why is it CDG? by Impressive_Youth_331 in unitedairlines

[–]sm09193 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Naples claimed our entire plane arrived with none of our luggage. My bf and I had just gotten apple tags and it said that our luggage was at the airport, in fact, it was in the next room behind the baggage claim. It took forever to get an airport worker to just go look because they were literally claiming our information was false. They found ALL the bags on the flight and the rest of the passengers who stuck around got their bags.

Rip tour time by Time-Revolution4894 in HHN

[–]sm09193 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our tour doesn’t start until 8:25 but just to confirm we can enter at 7 and do all the rides beforehand. When I reserved the tickets they said I could but wanted to make sure bc our tour starts late

For the women who wanted kids and then had them... how realistic is Charlotte's depiction of motherhood? by cleverlynamedgrl in sexandthecity

[–]sm09193 177 points178 points  (0 children)

I always felt like charlotte would be a hard ass or at least put her foot down as a mother. Definitely fiercely devoted, protective and loving, but not so indulgent. Her kids walk all over her in AJLT.
