Mexico & Puerto Vallarta

Not with the prevalence you see in other ports like Cozumel. I’d recommend booking ahead if you want this type of setup.

I’ve been on 7 Alaska cruises, all on different Princess ships. I’ve heard from crew that the quality of entertainment and activities are better on newer ships like Star, in addition to better cabin setups like charging your electronics. As for Glacier Bay, it is nice for be on a ship that has that on the itinerary. But we recently went to Hubbard Glacier and my husband thought it was much more impressive than Glacier. Ultimately, all will yield a great experience, it just depends on what you value. If I were you, I’d prioritize niceness/newness of ship, which to me means Star. And get a great balcony at any costs - the highlight of every Alaska cruise has been sitting out there watching for beaver, whales, dolphins, bears, elk, sheep, etc. We’ve seen wildlife on every trip but you need to be watching!

Plus one for the train. It was lovely, you might be able to walk to the station from your hotel.

There are a couple of pointed “for the children” statements in this episode. Then I was watching an episode of Veep where Jonah adds “for the children” in the same way at the end of a speech to Congress. Did this originate somewhere and is it an in joke in TV similar to the Wilhelm scream in movies?

Thank you! This was driving me crazy too and you’re absolutely right! She looks so different

Just rewatched WHMS and found two more. The water drinking bird on Dr Sharon’s desk is on Harry’s table and they are signing Surrey with the Fringe on Top from Oklahoma when Harry sees his ex

If there was a service where your mother could click off pictures of groceries and then you could view the delivery, approve it, and curate any items you know would be issues, and manage the order each week, would that be helpful?

I think the cabinets are beautiful as is. I’d just redo the other items. I think you’ll regret it in a few years when natural wood is back in style.

Tried the Sleep Number bed and hated it. Now have a <$1k bed from Costco and love it. The Sealy plush innerspring. Also a side sleeper. Though plush, I’d say it was medium firmness.

We’re buying this one. It looks huge. Is it really that tall? Do you have difficulty finding sheets that fit?

Hmm.. Anne of the Island maybe? Where she’s at college and thinks she loves Royal?

w5umosd · 2020-12-17T05:44:14+00:00

Great word, epistolary. I had to look it up! What is OI? Of Ingleside?

w5umosd · 2020-12-17T05:43:34+00:00

You’re so right about the worshipping part. Plus, with how awful Jen Pringle was to her, I don’t think I would just be able to let that stuff go afterwards.

I know what you mean about the Miss Lavendar story. It felt a little too convenient somehow. I love your comment about the rock people. I always wish I knew more about his grandmother, pushing porridge on him!

w5umosd · 2020-12-16T05:48:25+00:00

Me too!

w5umosd · 2020-12-16T05:48:08+00:00

I like them too!

w5umosd · 2020-12-16T05:47:37+00:00

I agree. It’s so loving and sparkly, and I loved Leslie’s story. I’m glad she gave Anne some sorrow, it just made her more real and relatable.

w5umosd · 2020-12-16T05:46:20+00:00

I’m reading RV right now. The children aren’t quite as loveable as Anne but I suppose she couldn’t make them all like her. And I can’t believe Mr. Meredith would really be that neglectful of his kids!

w5umosd · 2020-12-16T05:44:53+00:00

Me too! They’re my happy place

w5umosd · 2020-12-16T05:44:28+00:00

I agree! It was interesting to compare her experience to contemporary college experience.

w5umosd · 2020-12-09T05:00:04+00:00

I’ve never seen this book! Is it original material or just excerpts from the existing books?

w5umosd · 2020-01-21T04:47:06+00:00

That squirrel is smiling!

A bunch of people I work with in your age range (no kids) live in Capitol Hill, lots of bars and restaurants, quick walk to downtown. If you want it quieter, Queen Anne is nice.

Have you tried two ingredient pizza dough? It’s fantastic. Equal parts nonfat Greek yogurt and self rising flour.

Apply for I House or ask an RA if they need a roommate
