      HoosierOldLady reacted to gerardcarey's post in the thread Snoring. AARRRGGGGHHHHH!!!! with Like Like.
      As a sometimes snorer, and one who has had his toe pulled on occasion, and who has investigated alleviation practices without permanent success, I would state as follows. If you are going to stay in a hostel realize as a fact that snorers come...

      This again? I'd say that the Camino can be an excellent first trip to Europe since you are in the company of so many others who are doing the same thing - everyone supports each other.

      HoosierOldLady reacted to C clearly's post in the thread Re: Current Lunch Prices with Like Like.
      This recommendation makes little sense to me. The Camino is an excellent trip for a first journey to Europe. Any halfway competent adult can handle the complexities! Yes, and if the OP was still learning to walk and had never left their house...

      Does your wife have travel insurance? Perhaps, instead of returning home, she can buy new gear and continue onward once she has a few days to recover. Especially since it sounds like everything (except the plushie) is replaceable.

      I'd never avoid kindness just because no-one else is doing it. Just the opposite, in fact. So what if it looks daft? That's not my problem.

      HoosierOldLady reacted to J Willhaus's post in the thread Bar etiquette with Like Like.
      There was a long thread on this topic recently. Some who live in Spain said this may disrupt the work flow and at the least seem eccentric. Thinking about it, I don't usually return my glassware or plates in the US unless there is some kind of...

      HoosierOldLady reacted to John Sikora's post in the thread Bar etiquette with Like Like.
      I always do it. Seems like just a nice thing to do. Most of the bars that I went into didn't have a lot of help and I don't mind doing a little bit to help keep them in business. You certainly don't get rich running a bar in the small towns that...

      I do the same, it is certainly not expected but often welcomed. It is unlikely you will ever see locals doing it (not that is a negative per se) as it is not expected by the bar owners. Well done to you though as it's a very thoughtful gesture...

      Tomorrow I fly to Bilbao to start my 5th stint on the Camino. I did the Frances in three parts (2016, 2017 and 2022). Last year I did the Portuguese from Porto. I did the first 200 km of the Frances totally untrained, fat and not a walker back...
