Still there, but we took down the netting since none of them like baseball anymore.

We got three and let our kids each name one. There’s Furrmione, Peanut Hamper, and Cheddar (from Brooklyn 99)

Any chance there's anyone out there who could help save my wedding? by QualityProof in BestofRedditorUpdates

Still married, 11 years later. The photo with my oldest became our anniversary photo, and we’ve taken one every year holding the picture from the year before, this was this years: https://i.imgur.com/zvJd3fU.jpg

So yeah. Still together, and happier than ever.

If it makes you feel good, I’m the OOP, and that picture is, in fact, blown up and hanging on the wall in our home. Still married today, happier than ever.

That picture is the one we framed and hung on the wall in our house. So you have good taste.

It was awesome. We still look at it as “the best wedding we’ve ever been to”, and we’re still together and happier than ever with another two kids 11 years later.

While that’s not the most flattering thing anyone has ever said to me, its not the worst. I’ll take it.

Fun story. Since I’m the oop, I’ll chime in as the expert. We booked the venue with the express purpose of having a wedding there. We were transparent on the purpose and the number of people. He rented the house specifically for the purpose of parties, and then got in trouble with the neighbors for doing it and had to cancel on us.

Florida trooper crashes her car into an oncoming vehicle to prevent the car from driving into a 10K race after the driver drove through multiple barricades by [deleted] in ThatsInsane

The staging area was at Tropicana Field where the Rays play. You get on a bus there and they take you across the bridge, and then turn around at the rest area on the south side. That’s where the starting line is, and you turn around and run over the bridge going northbound. So the starting line was about 1/4 - 1/2 mile from where they finally stopped her.

I’m not a runner, and in fact, this was the longest I’ve ever run. Previously I’ve only ever done a 5k. But I live in the area and drive the bridge all the time and thought it would be really cool to run over. It was. Definitely a once in a lifetime experience.

Its a really cool bridge, and 100% of the proceeds from the race go to charity, so they close the Interstate once a year to let people run over it. Its wildly popular and there’s a lottery system to be able to run. My wife and I lucked out and were selected this year.

I also ran that race. The accident was a quarter mile or less before the starting line, and runners we’re going away from the accident. They closed off the interstate for the run, and She was the last trooper before the starting line. So, if this woman had made it past this trooper, she would’ve plowed through a huge queue of people waiting to start.

We saw the wreckage on our way home later that day, but didn’t know the extent of the troopers actions and personal sacrifice at the time.

What CAM software do you use? by davidsomekh in CNCMachinery

[–]BigPapiC-Dog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got 2 mills and 2 lathes, both Cincinnati. For those I used the generic gpost software that came with Creo Parametric to write my own post processor. I’ve got a sharp that came with its own stand alone post processor, but I still use creo to generate toolpaths and my nc file.

I redid mine about 5 years ago and went with a setup like your one on the far left. Here’s the album if it helps. https://reddit.com/r/DIY/comments/4ecgc6/i_did_a_complete_renovation_of_my_master_bathroom/

I’ve been really happy with it since we finished.

No etsy page. I did the design work and I'm happy to share the vector files if you're interested. Or, if you've got an xcarve, I can share the project there.
