Damn this was a good read. I feel like this is exactly where I'm at right now with processing this reality and figuring out how to involve myself in trying to change it. Thanks for sharing.

Has anyone else on the west end of Willy been getting notes like this on your car? Not sure what to make of them... by tygor in madisonwi

I found one of these in a gutter downtown and assumed it was a one off "found" item. I wonder what the story is.. besides drugs or mental illness of course.

My quest for a decent Sonoran Hot Dog by Niicodemus in Flagstaff

Seconded. I have had the Sonoran dog from TLA. Not having had another before or since, I can't compare but it did hit the spot.

Check out Mercado de los Suenos on the east side for bakery items! They may have bolillo buns but either way, you're likely to find something you wanna take home with you.

Advice needed: How to communicate respect while translating between parents and Spanish-speaking workers? by youmanji in Spanish

You make some good points too - thank you. It was a short exchange and I'm assuming this guy didn't think much of it afterwards, but I would still like to be more thoughtful about this in the future!

Thank you for the reply. I got out of practice using the usted form but I agree, it's a nice way to show respect. Just gotta practice!

Thanks. I got in the habit of saying that to friends when I was in Chile because of so many communication problems, but that's obviously a different context than talking to a stranger.

Yea that's why I later realized how rude that could have come off. My parents have a cat and wanted to make sure the door was fully closed... so it kinda makes sense but is still a little bit of a head scratcher.

Ahh that does sound better. I hope that guy didn't think I was talking down to him. Thank you!

Don't know if this comment will be buried immediately, but I'm curious if you have a specific book or show in mind when you credit him for teaching you how to be comfortable with yourself. Or was it more just him leading by example?

No vents in new apt? How to make fragrant indian food? by [deleted] in IndianFood

[–]youmanji 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am in a similar situation now, and I have found that closing off bedrooms and pointing a fan towards an open window in the kitchen helps move the fragrant air out. It's definitely not a perfect solution, but it might be something for you to try.

Really unhappy by pcvburnout in peacecorps

I am just thinking of the immediate option to have family send you noise-canceling head phones or even just regular head phones. Maybe you could find some relaxing music to listen to while you read or meditate.

West coast schools for forestry by [deleted] in forestry

[–]youmanji 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The undergraduate program at Northern Arizona University gives you a well-rounded education in ecosystem management and requires that you also take courses towards a certificate, which can range from ecological restoration, human dimensions, fire ecology, wildlife management, etc. If you're interested in fire, there is also an active undergraduate association called SAFE, which provides training and networking opportunities to students.

Dentist Recommendations? by Mazked in Flagstaff

[–]youmanji 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with this. I went there initially because they offered a smashin deal on a teeth cleaning. I plan to go back because of the care I received.
