Jesse - that has made packing so much less stressful for me. Beyond making sure I have the things that can't just be bought easily (meds, work computer, phone), I try to make sure I have the rest covered, but toothpaste, shampoo, a new outfit, shoes...those can be purchased if needed.
I've only been to NYC once and it was in January during a deep cold snap. After walking all over the place and then going to see 42nd Street, the sole of one of my boots came off completely, so I ended up buying new boots at 1am at a Skechers store. The city truly never sleeps.
That's a perfect NYC story.
And it reminds me, maybe I'm going to see about buying some rain boots when I go out for lunch.
Of Facebook's many sins, I think the worst is that it enables people you vaguely know to spam all of their acquaintances with MLM schemes. No, I do not want to buy your skin care product or leggings or magical lash serum or candle or whatever.
Are you suuuuure, though???
Amen Dana--no, I do not want to be added to your MLM group!
Unfollow as fast as possible. I'm in a few MLM groups, but they are ones that *I* choose to be in. Otherwise I can't leave the group fast enough. If it is just an acquaintance that is spamming - they get unfollowed if not unfriended.
Luckily, there is a drug store on every corner in Manhattan.
I'm grateful for this. I was in such a rush due to oversleeping that I forgot to pack my makeup bag, so I had to load up at a CVS yesterday.
And it's one thing if it's a person you're close with, because at least there's a real relationship there, and I might choose to believe that your intentions aren't entirely craven.
But person I was in a choir with five years ago who had never contacted me before? Boss from literally 15 years ago? No.
A friend of mine posts a statement every few months about please don't add her to MLM groups; it's wonderfully clear and direct. I should probably do something similar, because I'm getting added to all sorts of ones recently. I leave them right away, but it's still annoying.
