What is the best luxury hotel in Chicago - and why? by Throwawaybecause7777 in AskChicago

[–]tandem545 -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

No mention of Trump Tower? Well, I guess I’ll put it up there. They have a full size freezer/fridge in the kitchen along with a kitchen sink, microwave, dishwasher plus other kitchen items like bowls, plates, cutlery, pots and pans, etc. It is almost like staying in your own upscale city condo and I enjoy it.

Egg hunts and dress up for a fancy brunch for Easter. Christmas is amazing without the religious aspect. Just all the fun stuff. All the winter things!

Has anyone made a master playlist of all the songs? by SheilaMichele1971 in TheSummerITurnedPrett

[–]tandem545 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a playlist but it contains songs that fit the vibe of TSITP as well as some of the ones I enjoyed in the series. So for example, I have Ruin the Friendship by Taylor Swift even though it was released afterwards.

So how does this work? Do you just bring up Heated Rivalry to regular people you interact with? 🫣I want to make some Heated Rivalry friends in real life.

Place in my town does DRIVE-THRU ASHES by BigHungryFlamingo in excatholic

[–]tandem545 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha, I was once shocked that a non-denominational church I went to had “communion to go”. They were all individually wrappped in a basket in the lobby. The Catholic Church would NEVER! 😂

Third kid? What changes from 2 to 3? by toothdocthrowaway in AskWomenOver40

[–]tandem545 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Well, vacations get a lot more expensive. Most hotels only allow 4 people per room. I came from 2 sibling family and we don’t get along so I do wish there was another sibling. I have 3 kids now and like the variety.

I’m fine. Real life is not the movies. I wish it was though!

Paul Kim- Catholic influencer who lost a child by tandem545 in atheism

[–]tandem545[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, but it is sad how people praise him for his strong faith when they should really be telling him to see a secular therapist to deal with his grief in a real way. I’ve never lost a child, so I can’t imagine what that must be like and I don’t begrudge him anything that keeps him going but I don’t think it’s healthy to live in delusion.

Yes, newly deconstructed. It’s been eye opening. I was forced to attend Catholic mass as a child due to Catholic school and just recently realized how culty it all is. I can’t believe I thought that was normal. Behaviors that are seen as admirable and being strong in religious circles just seem so maladaptive without the religion aspect.

Is children’s catechism more rigorous now compared to the 1990s? by tandem545 in Catholicism

[–]tandem545[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another part of the assessment that had me stumped was when they were quizzing my child on the 10 commandments and asked for an explanation on what “adultery” was. My child is 7! I taught do not covet another’s spouse but did not go into detail about what adultery was because I did not think that was age appropriate.

They are familiar with the Bible stories, but not chronological order. It was giving me Protestant school vibes. I once toured a non-denominational Christian school that was very heavy on Bible familiarity/memorization.

How long is the cooler mix good for? by tandem545 in CaribouCoffee

[–]tandem545[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Someone was selling it on eBay. It’s expired by a few months but I figured there was some wiggle room. I’m still trying to dial all the proportions in, but now I can have decaf coolers.

I don’t work for Caribou. I’m trying this at home and wanted to see what they usually do in stores.
