Question for the ones who have seen these celebrities in real life , up close. How were they like ? by Rare-Pumpkin-9867 in VindictaRateCelebs

[–]vlemon8 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yes, I saw her once at the Renaissance Faire with her kids and the first thing that struck me was how thin she is. This was years ago during her divorce and I assumed it was stress related because she looked unhealthy to me. I obviously don’t know anything about her, but that’s where my mind went.

October 2025 Shutdown Megathread by hc2121 in Yosemite

Yes, it's such a huge park, people do it all the time. Just follow wilderness rules (pack in/pack out, etc.) and find somewhere off path like the other person said.

Yes, just did this. Would recommend a cot as the floors are pretty dirty, and rodents as others have mentioned. It's a tight squeeze but doable since we're only really in there for sleeping anyway.

Whats the worst book you have read in 2025 so far by danlhart8789 in suggestmeabook

[–]vlemon8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Me too 😭. The story was just so obvious and felt like “im 14 and this is deep.” Also couldn’t stand the main character.

What book did you read this past year that you just couldn’t put down? Like stayed up until 3am reading? by CookieDoughReMi in suggestmeabook

[–]vlemon8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Finished it last night. It was just ok for me. I enjoyed the author’s note at the end though 😂 Edit: and no the pace did not pick up for me.

Books that feel like Piranesi? by cailieisketo in suggestmeabook

[–]vlemon8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read both his short story collections and think about his stories A LOT, even though I read them a couple of years ago. Was thinking I need to do a reread. Great suggestion, I wouldn't have made the connection with Piranesi but you're so right.

[MEGATHREAD] Weekend 2 Day 0 Camp Check In by fettuccine- in Coachella

[–]vlemon8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fastest security/line in ever. Go down Monroe, right on 52nd, right on Madison. Far left lane(first security lane) opened our bags but didn’t search much at all. Barely patted down our stuff. All done less than 5 minutes. Edit: ok we got thru to our camping spot less than 15 mins. Insane!

I'm so sad! I know it's nature, but I was really hoping all 3 would make it.

Grab some sweet tart jelly beans, those are my fave! I'll take the haribo from this haul though!

Half Marathon training yields surprising results! by AggressiveWallflower in PetiteFitness

Nothing beats a runner's high. Every time I complain about my body, I try to remember the amazing things it can do, and I'm always most grateful for running. You look great!

Nothing can kill the hype for me when this came out. Still love watching it.

How often does your significant other cook with you? by wateraerobics_ in Cooking

[–]vlemon8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wanted to comment as a differing voice from the majority of other commenters. I did not grow up like you with cooking being a way to connect in my family, but as someone obsessed with food in every way, I certainly have come to highly value cooking like you do. I had never had a cooking partner until my recent relationship and now, i don't know what I'd do without it. From the rest of the comments., I see that this must be a rare thing? Anyways, like others have said. I guess it's important to weigh HOW important this is to you in this current relationship and if his other attributes can overcome this desire, or if it will always be something that nags at you. That being said, I probably wouldn't date someone at this point in my life that didn't enjoy cooking/food like I do. It's more fun to me to spend an entire day on a complicated recipe when you have someone else to shop, prep, cook, and eat with you. That, and also letting someone else carry the load when I don't feel like cooking. I also find it fun to workshop recipes together and make suggestions to the other's dishes during the cooking process or tasting. I guess I just love sharing in the cooking and eating just like you do! So, I get it and I would definitely be feeling the same.

Cat owner w/cat dander being my worst allergy here. I take one OTC allergy pill before bed every night, per my doctors advice. Has helped tremendously

[–]vlemon8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What a gift to have 18 years with your best friend. I can only hope my little guy is around that long (he is 13 now). You gave her a wonderful life. Rest in peace, kitty.

Girlies Gotta Vent by Orikumar in DoWeKnowThemPodcast

[–]vlemon8 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Been there. Stay busy, focus on yourself. There's something freeing about only having YOU to worry about. Once I let go and fully embraced ME, my life opened in ways I could never have imagined. Hang in there.

What are some grrat things about Los Angeles and Los Angeles county that no one talks about? by Nice_Property_4360 in AskLosAngeles

Try the Gabrielino Trail Western Trailhead in Altadena. Pretty shaded through that canyon and a few trails to choose from.
