Yes. High rises that are unaffordable with people moving down from Chicago, New York and Los Angeles so they can bitch about how Nashville is turning into the city they left.
On the brighter side, I thought of you today while talking with someone about Tito’s Ceviche & Pisco which is an upper end Peruvian restaurant here in N.O. Lomo Saltado first came to mind and then choclo. I have a good friend coming back next week from a 3 month Tinder excursion into Brazil and Chile. He met some girl on there and went to Brazil last spring. He liked it and apparently her so much that he went back. He loves ceviche, but as a vegetarian, won’t eat Lomo. Fuck him. We will go for lunch week after next, and I’ll get me some.
Trying to get married in June in Korea. To marry there you need an affidavit for eligibility to marry, a document that is unobtainable in the U.S. (it doesn't exist), and can only be obtained from a U.S. embassy in the specific country you're marrying in.
The grrrrr is that because of COVID the embassy is taking very very few appointments for notary services. They don't consider it an emergency service. There is no warning or announcement when appointments become available, and when they do they are booked almost immediately due to massive backlog.
It's infuriating to think due to bureaucratic nonsense like this, I can't get married and have to eat all of the money on the reservations we made for our wedding. Venue, photographer, catering, etc.

If you have ever bought tickets on Ticketmaster, you got this. Just treat it like you are trying to get tickets to a BTS concert. Check often, check regularly. Get her to check also. See if someone knows somebody in the embassy.

this might be a dumb suggestion, but even if the legal paperwork doesn't work out, you can definitely still do all the ceremony and reception stuff. When I got married it wasn't legal until like two weeks later

Not dumb, we were thinking that might be what has to happen. We are thinking maybe even just go to Guam or Hawaii for the honeymoon and just actually get married there.

yeah there's really no reason to stress the money and the reservations, you're still on for the wedding even if the marriage is a sham 😉

What he said. At the end of the day, it's just important that you end up married at some point. I'm assuming the other party is South Korean. Will that cause any issue if you try to get married in Guam or Hawaii?

Ugh, like planning a wedding isn't stressful enough. Hopefully the honeymoon workaround works.

The only issue would be getting a residency visa for myself as again I'd need to get stuff certified at the embassy. In the U.S. you don't need to prove that you're single before you're married, at least not in any manner I'm aware of.

Artists (of whatever medium), do you ever get so consumed with jealousy you want to just give up?!
One of my former classmates from undergrad just graduated from a hella prestigious grad program and not only had a HUGE showing at a crazy good gallery in my home town, but also "picked up" sculpture and is now a finalist in a national contest that's super hard to get into, let alone that far. She was like "Omg I never even THOUGHT about sculpture as a means of expressing myself, but what can I say? Everyone should try it!" Bitch, I've been trying for years. Some people have so much luck (combined with talent of course) I want to scream.

Yeah that is a pretty rough feeling. Trust in your own art and your own successes. You can't ever judge your worth/talent based off of other people's unexpected success.
I get jealous of one of my closest college besties. Graphic design didn't work out due to the oversaturation of the field, but she has flourished as an artist/designer and I had to completely change directions. We even had a business together that was going awesome before Katrina. She works for herself doing various very creative things, which is very envious to me. But that is not my path. Ya know?

Big hugs and fuck that bitch!
Wow, yah, I totally see how that would fuck with your brain - I actually danced before I was in fine arts, so I get the "Switching gears" thing.
felt really awesome about my interview so it’s a little easier to digest but still taking it pretty rough after waiting 3 months on a decision and feeling like i had a good shot
was gonna make the drive to ATL for a show on Friday but really just not feeling it at this point so i’m glad i held off on buying a ticket lol

I’ve been there, it sucks. You’ll wind up where you’re supposed to go, but the heartbreak’s still rough.

Genuinely complaining here because idk what's wrong with me, but my allergies today have been at an all time low--I've been a constant, unceasing stream of snot for the entire day and have had dozens of full-on sneeze attacks. Usually I have some of these allergy symptoms early in the morning, but I'll either take a claritin and they're gone after about 90 min-2 hours, or I won't take a claritin and my symptoms will STILL go away by the early afternoon. But today I took one and it's done nothing--just using tissue after tissue, and my nose is now bleeding and raw because of it. I know the weather in NYC has definitely been changing but I've NEVER had allergies this bad for this long before in my life. I keep using a nasal spray and it's not helping, it's just adding to the endless cycle of snot. I don't know what to do!!

I'm sorry, pal! I'm sure you'll find your way otherwise or perhaps that waitlist will open up for you as people make decisions on where to go

Ugh, my right ear has felt like it needs to pop fer a few days now (I think it started Sat/Sun), and it is just irritatin’ as hell! It doesn’t hurt so I don’t think it’s an ear infection, but I haven’t changed elevation in almost two weeks at this point. And I don’t think it’s an obstruction either cause if I yawn and move my ear a bit everthin’ feels fine fer a few seconds. But then the sensation returns.
My wife doesn’t want me to spend a bunch of money to see an ENT specialist as she had a similar situation a few months back. The doc she saw said there was nothin’ he could do and she’d just have to wait it out. Which is what is even more irritatin’ to me!

I've been in a funk all day today about something that happened last night. We moved to Philly six months ago, and we have a dog who is now 16 months old. She has not adjusted to the move extremely well - very anxious in the city. It's hard to take her outside and walk her because she's nervous about everything; nervous in an aggressive way, lunging, etc. We've always got a strong hold on her so she hasn't attacked anyone, but it's tough.
Last night, I take her out for her nightly bathroom break. I'm walking up my street and a family at the corner house is entering - mom, dad, two kids. Scarlett was peeing and then saw them and started barking. When this happens, I just try to calm her down and get her attention off of other people so I'm not paying attention to anything. Well, the kids and mom shuffle into the house and the dad, who's probably my age, maybe a few years younger, walks toward me and says "I don't want your dog near my kids or my house. You need to cross the street. (waits a beat) Start crossing." These are row houses, so I think the near his house part is going to be tough to police. But certainly I want my dog near his kids less than he does (acknowledging of course he doesn't want his kids in harm's way, I'm just saying yeah I don't either).
I was so shell shocked at him that I said OK and crossed the street, and I've felt, I don't know, emasculated in a way ever since. I didn't want to tell my wife because it was embarrassing, but then realized I had to tell her so she didn't get yelled at too.

I can't shake this yet, it's really eating at me.
That stinks. Maybe one or both of his kids are super scared of dogs? Or may have been attacked previously? And he went into major protector mode?
Definitely not a warm welcome to the neighborhood, but I would just try to remember it has more to do with him/his family than it does with you or your dog, and just avoid walking by their house if possible.

Wow, I'm always surprised by people that don't like dogs. I'm a dog whisperer. I've never found one that does not like me. But I know some people do have problems with them for various reasons.
Maybe send them a note, just explaining the situation about your move and your dog. Let them know that you will abide by their request, but with the hope that in the future, when your dog settles down, you can be friends. If they neither respond, or are negative about it, then it's their problem.
Put it behind you and move on. Too many things out there to be grateful for.

I've been there! I used to be a dog walker and the dogs with leash aggression were always the most stressful to walk, because it's so hard to communicate to non-dog people that the dogs are doing it because they're scared, and I'm helping them stay away from hurting themselves and others! It SUCKS to be reprimanded by a stranger, especially in that super "macho" aggro way it sounds like he did!
Have you looked up tips on how to deal with PEOPLE when your dog's being nervous? Sounds like you've done great with dealing with your dog's anxieties.

Avoiding confrontation is a good way to mind your hide. He was a dbag about it but there are too many people out looking for a fight.
He told you to do something and you did it. I would feel emasculated too, but that’s more about our internal associations between masculinity and power than it is anything else. The outcome was the same as if he had asked nicely. You’re not weak or anything else because a douche neighbor took his own power issues out on you. It’s also possible that he felt the need to assert himself for his own protection - cities can engender some pretty deep auto-defensiveness in people. I would try not to think too much of it.

I have my grandmother’s wedding ring set from 1952. In the 80s, she took the diamonds out and made herself a special ring (which I also have). My for my birthday, I asked Jake to put stones back in the wedding set. We went to a local jeweler and had it done a few weeks ago. I wear the set every day. I noticed last night that one of the stones has fallen out Since this is an old set, the stones are teeny tiny, so it is hard to notice unless you look closely. But I’m bummed. It hasn’t even been a month.

No I don’t think so. It will be cheap to fix though. Just bummed at myself. I feel like I ruin nice things which then makes me nervous to use/wear nice things.

I had a diamond watch. Latch broke and it fell off in the street and a car ran over it. I had a pearl necklace and a peridot birthstone ring. Someone broke into my apartment when I was at work and stole them. I had a nice set of diamond earrings and lost them. That's when I said fuck it. No nice jewelry.

Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.
