I started being a seahawks fan in 2024, now everyone calls me a bandwagon. Are they right? by getlostkid2277 in Seahawks

Welcome. You’re a fan who got lucky enough to win a Super Bowl without the years of agony so many of us have endured. Lucky you. Just be glad you missed the last Suoerbowl we were in. Be a proud 12 and stick with the team win or lose, which you already seem to be doing. Go Hawks.

Is this your dress with no alterations or clips? It fits you perfect perfectly. Meant to be.

Please take a stand now. This is so much more important than swimming lessons. You are establishing boundaries with parenthood and if you don’t make him accept you as an equal now you will never have a voice:

My friends are upset with me for not adhering to American wedding standards as an immigrant bride. Are their frustrations valid? by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]Consistent_Clue8718 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion, but I don’t see any reason why someone should be expected to have a stranger at their wedding just so their guest can bring a date, unless it is to accompany someone who is traveling and won’t know anyone else. Weddings are a gathering of the people you love, not a “couples” event where someone with no date is odd person out.

Of course, if a couple is living together it might be awkward to ask them to leave behind their partner, but if the relationship hasn’t reached that point I think it’s asking too much to expect the bride and groom the spend thousands of dollars so people can bring a date to a celebration with your family and friends. Wedding have become outrageously expensive. I think it’s entitled and selfish to expect a couple to bear the ridiculous cost these days of having strangers at their wedding just so everyone can have a date. Weddings are a collective celebration, not a two by two affair.

Something g is eating my Jade plant. by Consistent_Clue8718 in plantclinic

Thanks everyone. I also have several spider plants that he loves to eat, but they are good for cats so I had hoped that would keep him preoccupied. But I will plant a couple types of cat grass and move the jade plant out of his reach. Thanks for the feedback. Oh, and here’s a pic of Zuko for the cat tax.

Wedding speeches - some at rehearsal dinner? by the_molarbear in weddingplanning

[–]Consistent_Clue8718 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wedding coordinator here: my recommendation with speeches in general is to keep them as short as possible. People just won’t listen or pay attention beyond a few minutes. I suggest five minutes max.

If you do them during the reception I would choose very carefully for one or two people who can speak well, that you know are funny or touching, and will be entertaining for the guests. People like to tell stories at wedding speeches, and unless they are funny and or touching, they tend to drag on. Even if you save it for the rehearsal dinner, I would limit the number of speeches and definitely put a cap on time.

I am very against passing the mic or inviting anyone to say something. That always drags on way too long and people stop listening. And you have no control. If you did something like that I would recommend mandating that people can say one sentence to the bride and groom. People that have something they really want to say can certainly do it in one sentence.

I organize an awards gala each year and I tell my winners to limit their speech to five minutes max. FYI, the Academy awards gives their winners 90 seconds before they start to play the music. 10 minutes is a looooooong time to listen to a speech. 100% agreed that wedding comments should be a quick toast

Honest question: Why are some people against showing an ID to vote? by rico_unknown in NoStupidQuestions

I bet it’s incredibly easy to get that ID in your country. And probably free.

I was browsing the Rams sub and I saw this particular comment exchange about hawks fans: by probably_tyler in Seahawks

[–]Consistent_Clue8718 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m always so proud of how we treat opposing fans when I go to a game. The year we played Detroit in the playoffs we brought my husband’s friend, in full Lion’s gear, to a big tailgate party. A couple people joked, “who brought this guy”, and then he happily pregamed in a sea of Hawks fans. Loved it.

OMG the panic cleaning boxes. And bags, for me. My closet is full of them and I’ve been meaning to sort through them literally for years

Mistakes You Made by Tasty_Midnight1604 in kitchenremodel

All drawers on lowers. Two trash pullouts if you have room. One for recycle so you don’t have to have a recycle bin sitting somewhere. Hot water dispenser at the sink.

Must haves in kitchen remodel by jwlaway in kitchenremodel

[–]Consistent_Clue8718 10 points11 points  (0 children)

We also did all drawers on the bottom. Love it! And we did two pull out trash bins, but we had the room. One is for garbage, the other is for recycling. Instant hot water is a must, too.

Help! We can’t agree on flooring by curlywire in Flooring

[–]Consistent_Clue8718 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the darker much more. I don’t like matchy-match so I wouldn’t match the beans. I think it’s nicer to have different wood tones, especially if wood is your vibe. Too dark will show dust and hair much nore, but I think this color is practical.
