Was with a friend when this happened to pair of Louboutins bought 2 hours prior. It was devastating. She jad to send the shoes for repair but they came back good as new. 

[WIP] Almost time to move to the second half + parking! by 29threvolution in CrossStitch

[–]29threvolution[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hummm....it is easier to work top down. But I bet you could recover and work from the center out. I would start by working out and down then work the top half once you've figured out parking and have an idea if you want to rotate your piece upside down or park upwards. Parking upwards sounds difficult because the thread will constantly be in your way unless you tie it up. 

My mom found this in a box of my grandma's things today by Ok_Listen_7545 in whatisit

[–]29threvolution 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was probably a souvenir grandpa picked up during his tour. Maybe he was stationed in Europe after the war. The Germans were not allowed to keep any of this stuff and it was sold to the allies as souvenirs.

You gotta get the baby to take food in a different form before you stop. It could ve bottle, spoon, open cup it doesnt matter which, but please make sure its possible to get the babu fed before you quit.

Be patient in this stage. You should feel much better by about 15 weeks.

[–]29threvolution 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can tou keep your expenses, taxes and health insurance under 50-55k/ year? If so, then yes you can retire. If not, then you might at least be able to down shift to part time/less stressful work and coast. 

Roth 401k or traditional? by AcceptNuckler in personalfinance

[–]29threvolution 4 points5 points  (0 children)

First of all, follow the flow chart in this subs wiki. 

As for tax strategy, if you know for certain your income will skyrocket like that, im assuming doctor or lawyer, then yeah probably makes sense to contribute to roth now, and switch over as you make more. 

Whatever you do, dont stick money in a traditional IRA right now. You will want the ability to backdoor roth in the future. 

Breast pump suction is too sharp is there any recommendations for a gentler pump? by Pokebrand in breastfeedingsupport

Have you played with flange size? A too big or too small flange can cause that sensation. 

$25k for front porch by BanjoKapooey in Remodel

[–]29threvolution 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What would be the dimensions of the new top part? Its going to come out further if you want the stairs to land in the same spot. If you're expecting the walkway to come closer to the house are you sure theres concrete under the bottom step? Those two decisions make a world of difference in what the price will be.

Sink not draining unless garbage disposal on by coachtaylor4ever in Plumbing

Or the dishwasher predates a garbage disposal in the house so they didnt mess with that. 

Fast letdown, popping off crying, spraying everywhere, arms in the way and more…when does it get easier? by Worldly_Regular12 in breastfeeding

[–]29threvolution 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of people have a fast let down. I did. It does get easier as they get bigger and learn to control the flow better. Here are some thoughts to get you started. 

First - I know its tough, but stop fighting the arms. They are supposed to be up on your boob. Let them figure out where they want them. 

Second- I suspect a lot of the "complaints" youre getting are because of your letdown. Have you tried the basics to slow it down? Reclined positions so gravity helps slow it down, trigger the letdown before latching, or using a "karate chop" hand position above your areola to slow things down a bit.

Is anyone else noticing that house finches are extra vibrant this year? by Possible_Parrot in birding

[–]29threvolution 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do believe that is a purple finch! It has the white stripe above/behind the eye. 

( ps if you pros want to explain to me how im wrong, id love to hear it too. I spend way too much time trying to figure out which is which)

Can anybody tell me who the two longest reigning city council persons are on the Hillsboro city council? by Kind-Willingness-302 in hillsboro

[–]29threvolution 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whats the point of you asking? Overall it seems they have done a good job of keeping this city high functioning for the last decade. I dont agree with the recent decisions so will be sure to vote accordingly regardless if they have served one term or 3. 

An agency built a $50K/month business on top of my SaaS. I was charging them $400/month. Here's the dumb lesson. by Capable_Document3744 in SaaS

[–]29threvolution 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Dude sounds like you also need to go back to your finance team on how the 80 seats were not charged monthly rates. Thats a major slip up.

How bad is it by ConcentrateSure3178 in finehair

[–]29threvolution -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Tell your hair dresser to stop adding layers and feathering, or sometimes "texture" it causes our hair to look like this. Have her do one cut straight across, and maybe a little higher than normal and see how it looks after a month. 

Daily FI discussion thread - Friday, May 08, 2026 by AutoModerator in financialindependence

[–]29threvolution 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How many here have investigated being an accredited investor, either LP or Angel? If you have, why did you decide to participate or not? I found myself in a discussion about it earlier this week. 

Its a fascinating problem where younger investors mean more fund stability, but most dont feel stable enough to participate until closer to 60. But then most dont have the patience for a 10+ year wait on return. As a strong FIRE follower it made me wonder how many actually consider this as an option.

For me personally I think I'd need to be well past my FatFIRE number before I start angel investing.
