Leon vs. Valladolid by optiplex745in spain

[–]gagaoohlala 1 point2 points ago

Leon IS cooler. It's gorgeous and well connected, a college town so the nightlife is fun, and the TAPAS! I spent last year teaching English there and I love it. I lived in Northern Spain a few years ago and it was great...I've been all over Spain...but Leon is the BEST place to live. No contest.

constant UTI's by nothingintellectualin sex

[–]gagaoohlala 0 points1 point ago

I have taken those pills and I always drink that juice! I've battled with UTIs for years and since I started taking one of these pills after sex (each time!) I haven't gotten one. Worth a try :) AZO Cranberry

This guy is a piece of shit (x-post from r/pics) by SolInvictusin WTF

[–]gagaoohlala 0 points1 point ago

i've never worked at a restaurant where i didn't have to tip out BOTH the kitchen and the bartenders. maybe it's an oregon thing? chain restaurants aren't as likely to require it, though. whether you tip me or night, i still tip out 6% of your bill to the kitchen/bar. if you don't tip at least 6% i'm actually LOSING money by waiting on you.

Drunk teen hits two cyclists, killing one. Deceased boy's mother acts with unbelievable grace.... by gagaoohlalain oregon

[–]gagaoohlala[S] 2 points3 points ago

i agree, though i'm not sure i could be that forgiving. he hit 2 cyclists. left them for dead (knowingly). is still being untruthful and doesn't seem very remorseful or even thankful that the mom is being so nice to him. i'm not sure he deserves her forgiveness...

Well, it's one way to wake up... by TheGrumblein sex

i mean, if you have to ask than maybe not? i would love a gift like this from my boyfriend, but all girls are different. you know your girlfriend--does she enjoy vibrations down there? and is she comfortable using toys (AND talking to you about it?) if you can answer yes to all of those questions, i'd say go for it.

Recommend a yoga studio in Eugene? by avatarsanshelicopterin Eugene

[–]gagaoohlala 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

There's a new yoga studio in Crescent village called ''Hard Core Yoga'' that promises to have more physical benefits than typical yoga. A friend of a friend runs it, but I haven't been. The studio is gorgeous and new and the instructors are great, so I hear. Worth a try, they just opened a couple of weeks ago. It is more spendy than the Y--I think like 14 bucks or something for drop in? BUT something like only 99 for unlimited all month which is fair.

I'm 2 months pregnant. I want the baby adopted but to remain in contact. Is there hope? by Fawnedin AskWomen

[–]gagaoohlala 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I was adopted through an open adoption, as were my sisters. My birth mother had a say in who my adoptive parents were...and she also received pictures and letters about how I was doing throughout my life. I'm not sure how often--that's something for you to discuss with the adoptive parents to see what they're comfortable with. I'm almost positive my parents went through an agency but honestly I'm not sure.

I used to spend time with my birth mother and her other daughter (ice skating, going to the movies, etc) until I was probably like 8 or 9...and then stopped because I lost interest. My birth mother is a bit crazy and manipulative so I just didn't feel comfortable so I stopped going to her house. She came to my high school graduation and I've seen her a handful of times since then. I haven't contacted her in 3 years, but if she wanted to she could contact me. My birth father wasn't involved in the adoption but took interest in me when I was about 13. I've talked to him and spent some time with him, but only as much as I want to.

I don't get along famously with my birth parents but I can't imagine not knowing who they are. Im grateful I got a chance to know where I came from, and don't just have to wonder.

Side note: I'm pro choice but I think you're making the right choice. This baby made it through a condom AND the morning after pill--I think that's pretty amazing.

Sephora is selling Clarisonic Mias for $119. I've been thinking of getting one. Should I go for it? by Twasin MakeupAddiction

i bought one a couple years ago and SWORE BY IT. i stopped using it, though, and now my skin is better than it's ever been. not sure if there's a connection, though.

Best pay-as-you go mobile plan in Spain? by skifreemein spain

Yoigo is the best, and if you use your cell to call the USA it's pretty freaking cheap--like 5 euros for 20 minutes which from Spain to Oregon is pretty great.

Apartment/ House hunting help for Madrid/Alcala de Henares? by Johnnieteein spain

[–]gagaoohlala 0 points1 point ago

Madrid is nice enough--and I have a few friends that did the program there last year (one is even staying again this year!) and they LOVED it. I personally am not a huge fan. WATCH YOUR STUFF is all I can say.

In Madrid rooms are about 500 euros a month, I lived in Leon where they're (and everything else is) MUCH cheaper.

i found a place in spain using easypiso.com

i didn't SIGN anything til i got there, but i was pretty committed even from across the world, and they saved the room for me for a month until i got there.

my program (auxiliares de conversacion) also told me not to commit to a place before checking it out--but for me, it turned out incredibly.

also, my rent was 140 a month +gastos which is WAY cheaper than a week in a hostel so i just decided to go for it.

Apparently I'm a pretty awesome girlfriend.

Because guys only cheat on less-than-awesome girlfriends? I don't think so.

I love her much less than she does me by UnrequitedThingin relationship_advice

It's ok if you don't want to marry her and have kids with her. Her suggesting all those things is a bit creepy and a turn off for sure.

They've been together for 5 years! Bringing up marriage and babies isn't creepy.

LDR, is he cheating on me? by laoulain LongDistance

LDRs are based on trust. If you don't have it, you've got nothing.

Erasmus in Spain, which city should I go to? by mtn_in spain

[–]gagaoohlala 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Barcelona & Madrid (even Sevilla to an extent) are pretty freaking touristy so if you live there--you'll learn less Spanish cuz people will speak to you in English (and even Catalan in Barca). So I'd go for one of the other 3. I've never been to Almeria. I have a friend who lived in Avila for a year and enjoyed it, and Cadiz is nice, too.

Leon has my vote, if only you could go there! I met loads of Erasmus students there.

La Misma Luna is good, and super easy to understand even if your Spanish isn't perfect.
