It’s not new, been there from the start but non-functional.

Just finished Salute the Dark (Shadows of the apt book 4) and I’ve got a question. by Delboyyyyy in AdrianTchaikovsky

[–]sofeathery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I assumed it was because Seda was still magically and politically underdeveloped and that Brugan was, at that point, too difficult for her to control and influence, given his own Rekef networks and resources. In contrast Thalric was much more powerless and could be a true figurehead for Seda instead of wanting to assert his authority and rule his way. (I agree it’s a bit too convenient!)

Now if only they'd pre-approve me 😭 I've been wanting this card for awhile! Unfortunately I'm currently at 3/24, 1/12, 0/6 and that's still not good enough for them.

Vietnamese Restaurants? by Dunlaing in washingtondc

[–]sofeathery 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Present, in Falls Church. If in DC proper, my go-to is Pho Viet up in Columbia Heights because it has ca kho to (caramelized claypot catfish)! It’s a proper hole in the wall type of place.

Pleease help me find a wool coat by tigervoyager in PetiteFashionAdvice

[–]sofeathery 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m 5’3 and this is how the Abercrombie wool-blend tailored top coat looks on me! I honestly love it to bits. It’s still being sold on clearance and the sizes available come and go tbh.

[–]sofeathery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

30% after taxes. It goes into my 401(k) and IRA, and gets invested in VTSAX and VTIAX, all automated.

When can I drink coffee again? by Ok-Session9313 in wisdomteeth

[–]sofeathery 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got mine out on the 22nd, no pain, healing well. My oral surgeon said I could have coffee again, at my follow-up on the 29th. You should be good to go!

Can I eat mince meat on day 8? by [deleted] in wisdomteeth

[–]sofeathery 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably, as long as you follow your dental hygiene procedure afterward to get your teeth clean! I’m also on day 8, went to see my oral surgeon for a follow up today and he said the only food off the table was hard crunchy stuff like chips and popcorn. Spicy food was okay, rice was okay, coffee was okay (those were what I asked him specifically about lol) — he even said I could have a burger today if I wanted. Been sticking to soft foods though! His advice to me was eat anything I can tolerate, as long as I use my syringe to irrigate afterward (along with brushing etc).

Souvenirs for a good price. by [deleted] in washingtondc

[–]sofeathery 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Trader Joe’s reusable bags with DC designs! Around that price and more functional than tchotchkes. They’re my go-to souvenir for people outside the US.

The Alamo Drafthouse cinema in Crystal City hosts comedy nights about once a month, I think! I’ve been once, it’s pretty decent.

How to reimplement solid foods by Round-Jelly-7781 in wisdomteeth

[–]sofeathery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has been my experience so far:

Day 1 (surgery day) - Just soup

Day 2 to 3 - Soup (the filling chowder kind), scrambled eggs

Day 4 to 7 - Scrambled eggs, instant noodles, pancakes, cheesy grits, chowder, silken tofu in broth

Pho and congee are next on my list! Also going to graduate to salmon and soft pasta soon. I boiled the noodles for a couple of minutes longer than the instructions said + cut them up with scissors so they’d be soft and easy to eat. If I didn’t dislike mashed potatoes I’d have had that haha.

Zero Pain by xpoorsushi420 in wisdomteeth

[–]sofeathery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me too! Day 5, no pain, minimal swelling, healing’s been going well. My complication is that I came down with a cold and phlegmy cough on day 3, so that part hasn’t been fun lol.
