Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (anything Wonka), Titanic, Pirates of the Caribbean, and so many other massive films. At the same time I love the last two Mad Max films.

Brios is great. Bread Alone is fine but kind of fallen off recently when it comes to sandwiches.

I also have a different last name that my kids and I've traveled between the US and EU, Asia, Africa and UK without it ever once being an issue. Ive never been asked for a permission slip from their father.

I have traveled many many times to other countries with my kids and not my ex. I even have a different last name and I have never once been stopped or questioned or asked if my ex gave me permission to travel with them.

Never. This includes travel between US and UK, Europe, Turkey, Japan, Thailand, Canada, Morocco, India, and Bahrain.

Never once was it an issue.

I do. He lived between storage units, in a server cave and peoples couches in NYC. He was gainfully employed in IT. He would spend a few weeks a year at my house. He got pancreatic cancer and 8 mo after his diagnosis, last year at 56. Usually this time of year he's be up here, working remotely, commandeering the grill and fireworks shopping.

It's great. I had that color and curls and the best thing I ever did was eliminate shampoo from my hair routine. I just used conditioner, liberally.

It isn't awful to tell. It hurts but ultimately it is a kindness. She deserves to know who she is married to.

Hawaii.

Take NAC every morning, L-tyrosine three times a day and seriously consider finding a san pedro ceremony. It can really help flipping the craving switch off. Naltrexone also helps.

This makes me sad.

I was in a very similar situation. Because of my prior misdiagnosis of bipolar he would always point to that when I got upset over outrageously controlling behavior. He broke my ribs and blamed it on me. I spent so long staying because I used to think that people were inherently good and always wanted the best for one another.

Since my diagnosis I've woken up to so much casual cruelty and constant abuse. I haven't lived with him since October and I'm feeling actually, genuinely happy. I don't wake up dreading the day. I don't feel sick all the time. My house is set up in ways that work for my and my ND kids, we all cook together, swim together, we CLEAN together (which I swear I thought was impossible) and are generally relaxed because he isn't around to be disruptive and create chaos to keep as all off balance.

I'm not sure how I'm going to survive, but I'm going to give myself the summer to regulate before I figure out how to generate income.

I'm going to make okonomiyaki, some cocktails, roll some joints and turn it into a drinking game until it becomes too much and I turn it off.

If the Gunks were the Sierras.

Other than the journey duration (sp 12 hr, aya 6) I don't think it's possible to make definitive of either as everyone is different

Use a kettle for hot water and fire up toaster oven for smaller meals. I only recently got a microwave.

Where will you be hiking? Unless you are way up in the back woods of the Adirondacks you will not see Moose.

Black bear are not uncommon in the Catskills. I see a couple every summer but I have never seen one while walking in the woods. They will hear and smell you and take off way way way before you get near enough to see them.

Topnotch Resort in Stowe. More that 3 hours but it has a beautiful indoor pool, is very nice and kid friendly, great restaurant and bar with nice outdoor seating around a fire. In September it will be beautiful.

I've stayed at the Residence Inn and it's completely fine. It's outside the city limits, right next to a target, and the parking lot is well lit.

Northern MI too, people are so nice too and not in that Bless your Heart sort of way, but genuinely.

This sounds like hysterical bonding. It's a very confusing post-dday phenomenon.

This will be in contract by the end of the month. It's in a good location, looks cute from the road, has a large garage/outbuilding and is about 45-55 minutes into Manhattan.

I'm 51 and as an elder, take it.

I know you are asking for ocean, but Erie is huge and feels like an ocean. Also, it's closer.

I like hearing my name as long as its not in the "we need to talk" tone.

I don't have AC. I'm in upstate NY and grew up without it. There are usually only about 5-7 days a summer that are terribly hot. I have fans, I take cold showers, I use passive cooling.
