My parents are coming to visit for the weekend, and I'm looking for a restaurant recc on where to take them. They're pretty low key but would enjoy something that really feels like SD. Any thoughts? They're staying in La Jolla

The Shores Reaturant, if you wanna stay in La Jolla. More casual atmosphere than The Marine Room without sacrificing the typical ocean view.

I’d personally venture to Del Mar for better food. Sbicca had some great food last time I went.

Phil's BBQ. Treat them to disappointment.

If you head north, the beach in Carlsbad is lovely. Not crowded like done south. You can also walk all around the small shops and restaurants in Carlsbad Village. It’s less populated and pretentious than La Jolla.

El pescador in La Jolla. Fantastic poke and daily specials.

Brothers Family Restaurant in Allied Gardens. It's full of old people and not the least bit pretentious. Franco's in Bonita is also good but noisy. Avoid Aunt Emma's. Perry's Cafe in Old Town or Country Waffles in Midway are also worthwhile. My favorite might be Mikki's Cafe in Escondido.

Barbecue Pit in National City is really good, there's another one across from Mikki's. At one time they were all over the city.

Chin's is really good for Chinese, also Panda Imperial in Chula Vista is pretty good. National City is full of choices along Plaza Drive, so is Mira Mesa. None are terrible. There is a Persian restaurant on Miramar Drive, it is delicious. Convoy might be too much to process but it is great.

Do you think using “him/her” for “he/she” (ex: “her is playing” “him not here yet”) is something that kids usually grow out of? Or does it need direct intervention?

Normally I’d just keep them on and work on it alongside other goals, but they don’t have any other goals, and with COVID, and my upcoming maternity leave in March, a more compact caseload would be advantageous.

So, this is a little awkward, but I recently moved to SD for a fresh start, and honestly, I love this city. My problem is I have been more of a homebody since I moved here and I'm a little intimidated to go out and meet people because I don't feel like I fit in here. I am overweight and this city is full of active, and attractive people. I guess I am wondering what my experience would be if I got out more? I feel like people look at me when I'm in public because I stand out due to my size.
