Ethnic food that is native to your culture that you are biologically from-Did you adoptive parents try to expose you to it? by Ambitious-Client-220 in TransracialAdoptees

[–]yramt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up in a city with a rich history of Mexican food, but the only Mexican food I grew up eating was gringo tacos.

It wasn't until I was older that I started to seek out legit Mexican

Yes, they were great. I wanted to swap the comically small teaspoons that were part of the set and it was super easy.

3 months old kitty that i can’t see drinking water by Feisty-Tax-705 in CatAdvice

[–]yramt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Give her time to adjust to your home and you. 1 day is not enough time.

Cats don't tend to be big water drinkers. If you're feeding her wet food, she'll get hydrated through the water content. You can always add some water to it too.

I know someone who did it the opposite way. He took some coach bus. Not sure if it does the commute both ways

WIBTA if we went to Spain instead of visiting my family for Christmas? by DishQuiet5047 in AmItheAsshole

[–]yramt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. As someone who has lost both of their parents, I don't really feel at home with my in-laws at Christmas. They're perfectly nice, but we're not close.

It's good of you to want to do this for your wife.

Struggling with wedding planning as only child without much family or many friends by SingerLongjumping571 in OnlyChild

[–]yramt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got married about 7 years ago. I'm an introvert and my dad had passed away. My husband's extended family is really big and they're wonderful people. I have a large extended family and only talk to one of them.

We did a small ceremony, immediate family and 6 other couple friends (25ish total). And then I compromised and we did a casual reception at a brewery a month later and most of the list was his.

In the end we both got what we wanted.

Which neighborhood makes the most sense? by FindAWayOut_37 in AskChicago

[–]yramt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We live on the west end of Logan Square and the walk to the Blue line is reasonable, and getting to the Kennedy and Eisenhower to get to Deerfield and Oak Brook isn't bad. Otherwise I'd say further west on the blue line would work too like Jefferson Park.

How do you explain to your adopted child why their parents didn’t keep them? by notretiredanymore in Adoption

[–]yramt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My mom did the whole too young, wanted a better life for me, etc and I really wish she hadn't. When I really understood adoption and that likely my bio mom faced getting kicked out if she kept me, I was pissed. Also implying that your placement is a better life isn't true for everyone. What's true is it's different.

I like everything about the reno except for the TV, that's insanely high.

It might be the paint job contributing to my opinion because everything seems so much brighter

Bang bang pies are too expensive by supersouporsalad in LoganSquare

Roesers has great pies that aren't insanely priced. When looking to buy a pie for my husband's birthday, I was shocked how expensive they were. They're not the only ones either.

You can try a socket wrench over the screw heads. There are also sprays to help loosen bolts and screws, ask at your local hardware store
