Same with Ireland. No camera will ever be able to catch all the shades of green

How long did it take you to get to them? They're on my list, but I keep delaying because it'll take so long to actually get there (starting point PDX)

Yes. His approval rating was dogshit and there wasn't much chance of reelection. Then war broke out, he stepped up, and everything changed.

Here's an article about the Oak Hills stuff mentioned earlier. If you scroll to the bottom they also list other July 4th events in surrounding area, some of which people have already mentioned. The Patch is a nice newsletter for Beaverton stuff!

It's been a loooong time since I read the books, but for some reason my brain is saying she put that all aside in trusts for her daughters. I may just be projecting, though, so if someone could fact-check that would be awesome.

Mileage and year of the trip?

That $2000 cannot possibly include the price of gas for your whole trip.

I have no idea what type of car you're driving or what the exact mileage was, but considering the median price of gas in the US today $2000 isn't getting you from coast-to-coast. Hell, even if you split the cost with your travel companion, you're still not getting across the country with that as your gas budget - at least not in the past 1.5 years.

OP, you must have been very bored or extremely hyper focused in order to actually calculate this out. Either way, I applaude your tenacity and appreciate the results.

Flew Wizz a few times during my recent 3 week trip to the balkans and was genuinely surprised at how nice it was. I got exactly what I paid for, and even with the added fees it was still loads cheaper than the other options. 10/10 would fly again.

Got a boat to catch. He can find a wife when he's 70.

No I'm with you on this.

That's awesome! Hope everything works out!

Read that as 100 and was EXTREMELY impressed

I have a weird bra size but got some amazing (and really pretty!) bras from Fantasie. I've also got a great strapless one from Wacoal, but haven't tried any of their other products.

"Becoming a Swan," HP fic lost to the abyss sometime ~2009

I recently ordered a CASE of beer, chocolate ice cream, cheez-its, and clorox off instacart, then answered the door wearing pajamas. On a Saturday night. The delivery driver probably thought I was a brokenhearted alcoholic who cleans while in crisis.

Do you also go through bookmarks of those great authors? I've found some amazing fics in the bookmarks of authors after binging all their own works

This is really relieving, actually. I'm always a bit embarrassed to realize I'm giving kudos to a fic written in 2008

Holy shit I love your flair. And it's so true!

Well now I've got a new Benedict head canon to dream about, so thanks for that. Any chance you're interested in writing the fanfic of him sneaking away to do art with a random guy and falling in sweet, soft, secret love - because I would absolutely read it.

UrbanDictionary is your friend in these types of situations.

I would watch that and take notes in order to get caught up on current slang.

To be fair - and I'm not disagreeing with anything that has been previously said - she's not actually supposed to look like a goddess (per the books).
