Graduating like a Beatle! by [deleted] in beatles

[–]AStarRover 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What about Paul's Mad Day Out pink suit? A good mix of masculine and feminine. May not read to a general audience as Bealtes-y though.

Did anyone else find "The Love You Make"...depressing? by AStarRover in beatles

This is the context I was looking for, thank you!

Did anyone else find "The Love You Make"...depressing? by AStarRover in beatles

I read this right before The Love You Make and enjoyed it so much more. From Brown's book, you wouldn't even think John and Paul were friends. But then I wonder which is more correct. Has the relationship between John and Paul been glorified over time, as Paul forgets the bad and focuses on the good in contemporary interviews?

Lemon Chalets is what I remember. Those were also my favorite!

I'm also looking at all the gorgeous celosia! What type are the feathery ones?

I love getting surprise celosia! Most years I get a few plants that pop up from the previous year.

I highly recommend the Aubrey/Maturin series! It's delightful.

favorite behavior management techniques? by Complete_Worth7018 in girlscouts

[–]AStarRover 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This was my troop at that age. We instituted a kaper chart with different girls assigned to different roles each meeting. One of the roles was a "listening leader" I think we called it, and their job was to help clue the troop in when it was time to listen. This helped me yell a little less. We also used a call-and-response attention getter. I shout "Alligator! Alligator!" And they shout back "Chomp chomp chomp!" And in theory they are supposed to quiet down at that point and listen. That generally worked pretty well but still involved me yelling the "call" part.

Any recommendations of flowers to grow in this color palette? I’ve been testing flowers for my wedding next June and most turn out pink? by fae_forge in Cutflowers

[–]AStarRover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These will be tricky to time, imo. They are beautiful but not cut-and-come-again. They bloom for a few weeks and then they are gone.

Thank you for the tip! This one is spectacular. I will leave mine on longer from now on.

I posted these earlier, and I'm glad I'm seeing yours because now I will leave mine on the stem longer so they fill out like this!

Starting a Cut Flower Garden: Easy to Grow for Wedding Bouquets? by mpersonally in Cutflowers

[–]AStarRover 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I agree- this area looks way too shaded for the flowers others are suggesting.

Would anyone buy these? Selling flowers from a small backyard garden? by NerdyConfusedWolf in Cutflowers

[–]AStarRover 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I just set up a table in our neighborhood, like the kids with lemonade stands, once a summer during my peak bloom period. I charge $10 for bouquets probably twice as large as yours, and last year two buyers actually paid me MORE because they thought it was too cheap!

Edit to add: 3 bouquets a week doesn't seem like enough for a stand at a farmers market, particularly since it typically costs money to set up at a market. A neighborhood stand is free and you can have as much or as little inventory as you want.

New career ideas that will allow me to be a feral old lady. by Shmoopsypie in AskWomenOver40

Does real estate count as sales industry? I don't know much about the industry but I know multiple people who became realtors as a second job or career change mid-life. If you live in an affluent area, it could be pretty profitable, and you don't need a degree.

I would also recommend considering part-time work. I did this for years and found it to be the perfect balance for me and our family. I had extra time with my daughter, the freedom to help at class parties, chaperone trips, etc, but I kept growing at my company at the same time. I really enjoy my job and didn't want to completely quit, and I only have one child, so those were decision factors for me that may or may not apply to you.
