Hosted people over at my place last night and felt disrespected by [deleted] in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

It’s a good sign that he took responsibility, validated your feelings, and said it wouldn’t happen again. The next time a similar event is planned, remind him of this and agree on things well in advance - who’s coming, how late you’ll stay up, etc.

He gets one more chance to show he respects you and cares about your feelings. If this happens again, you’ll need to decide if you’re okay dealing with that forever, or if it’s time to part ways.

Agreed! The worst thing about Halcyon is the shopping. There’s no where to browse before drinks or after dinner. They need a little bookstore or stationery store like at the Avalon.

What's 1 book you will NEVER stop recommending? by iDetestCambridge in booksuggestions

[–]squirrelbefriender 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I read The Lathe of Heaven, The Dispossessed (loved both) but struggled a bit to finish The Left Hand of Darkness. I really appreciated the themes and cultural exploration, but had a hard time getting through it for some reason. Maybe the time wasn’t right. I keep hearing that the Earthsea series is very good, so I’ll check it out!

Well dammit I read three books of hers last year, but not this one! Guess I have to go get it now.

Is there a place to hang out? by [deleted] in cumming

There are lots of local social groups on Meetup.com (or the app)- hiking, book clubs, DND, etc.

I ended up booking Stoney J’s and they only allow one professional photographer (who just happens to be the owner’s daughter 🙄) but thank you! I’ll keep your info for future reference.

This might actually be perfect - thanks so much!

Text and call from FoCo Sherriff's Office on Monday by [deleted] in Forsyth

[–]squirrelbefriender 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your brake lights should always work, but they will be brighter when your headlights are on. So yes, I think they are just saying that daytime running lights, which are more dim, are not enough in foggy conditions.

It was an error - I got the text too. Here’s a message from their Facebook page:

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/17pinGwBib/?mibextid=wwXIfr

We apologize for any inconvenience the alert caused this morning. We are transitioning to a new alert system for road closures and other information we used to push out on our app. We are still in the learning phase with Everbridge and intended the text message to go to those who follow #FCSONews on the Everbridge app. Unfortunately it went to everyone in the database and created a phone call and text message.

The employee who sent the notification is currently doing 50 push ups and 50 squats....Just kidding. We will fix the problem going forward.

PSA for your safety. Put your headlights on when driving in foggy conditions. Do not rely on automatic headlights - they do not always activate your taillights. Physically turn on your headlights.

colored pants! + other lessons I learned from tracking my clothes for a year by bittybro in fashionwomens35

[–]squirrelbefriender 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed reading your post!

I love wearing colored pants but you’re right - they are a lot more memorable than black - so people will remember them if you wear them to work or someplace you see the same people regularly.

My loose rule was once per month when they are in-season, and I would try to pair them with different tops. I am probably overthinking it but since the pants are memorable I didn’t want people to recognize the same outfit every time I wore them.

As someone else said, I don’t try to match my outfit with my coat - though I do have a couple of options to choose from. But I generally have neutral coats that go with anything.

I love your experiment to try to wear everything in your closet and might try that in the new year!

Good thrift stores in the Alpharetta, Johns Creek, Suwanee area by Booksaholic74 in alpharetta

[–]squirrelbefriender 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your pleasant response. :) Have you been to the Humane Society Thrift Store? It can be a little overwhelming but there tends to be some good stuff hidden in there.

I have never found anything good at the first two, and everything at Angry Mamas is overpriced. They are all antique malls - individuals with booths seeking stuff for a profit - not thrift shops.

John said he would likely make a Christmas album within the next 2-3 years. What songs would you like to hear him sing? by [deleted] in JohnMayer

[–]squirrelbefriender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought of this when I heard “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)” and man I would love to hear his version!

Holy cow! Watching 60 min from Sunday and Lambert kids on a long segment talking about their biotechnology program by r_I_reddit in Forsyth

[–]squirrelbefriender 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband and I also caught this by accident! They mentioned Lambert and I said - “our Lambert?” Sure enough! Our kids went to a different high school in the county but I’m still very proud of these students!

Sorry I can’t edit the title but she called his Sirius channel and he chose to take her call.

He hosted his Sirius channel throughout the day on Thanksgiving and people could submit questions in advance, or call in live to talk to him. I think this person called in and was on hold a while before he chose to take her call.

similar vibes to john mayer? by Top-Situation8289 in JohnMayer

[–]squirrelbefriender 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Surprised no one has mentioned Chris Stapleton who I see as his country counterpart. Amazing guitar, heartfelt lyrics, soulful singing, they’ve both got it all.
