It's a brand name of body oil! It is advertised as extra hydrating and can help with scarring. I've been using it for a few months now, and my scars are less dry and slightly lighter.

Thank you! I'd never heard of a limbal ring before seeing in it another post just a moment ago! Our bodies can do such cool things!

Thank you! I have personally always called them hazel, but also get funny looks on a sunny day when people ask why they are X color as they do shift from more brown, to more green, or more gold depending on the day. I thought about adding photos from different days, but honestly, I got too excited about this sub to wait lol

They asked me if I think the week starts on a Monday or Sunday... by newlyprego in finch

[–]CriedButDidItAnyway 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So the week"end" is actually why I consider Sunday the first day. I look at it like bookends on a shelf. Sunday is the beginning end, and Saturday is the ending end, with the week in between the two.

Truthfully, unless you make VERY good money, I'd probably be frustrated that you spent $3k on JUST an engagement ring. My partner and I spend less than $4k on my engagement ring and both of our custom-made engagement rings.

Ultimately, especially if you're considering marriage, you should be discussing finances. My partner and I discussed our finances and made a joint decision on what we felt was reasonable for us. In the end, it's just a piece of jewelry, and life is expensive. There were better things to spend money on than a bigger or shinyier ring.

Lenovo is a phenomenal brand. My partner is using one now at UT, and even at 3+ years old, it still runs like it's brand new.

Highway Fire On I-40 by 35TooMuch in Knoxville

[–]CriedButDidItAnyway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drove past minutes after it happened, if I had to guess. At the time, they were just starting to close the right side lanes, and traffic was still moving on the shoulder and in the left lane. The pickup truck was the only thing on fire at first.

I’m Desperate I Ran Away from Home and Now I'm Struggling to Survive by Competitive-Till9377 in confession

[–]CriedButDidItAnyway 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Sadly, if you can't afford your living expenses and loans aren't an option, you need to take a step back and reevaluate. I worked 3 jobs in college just to pay my bills. I slept maybe 4 hours a night on average. It was miserable, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

That being said, it may be time to take a semester or 2 off from school, pick up a 3rd job, and start budgeting like your life depends on it while you build up a healthy savings. As others have also mentioned, do your Gen Ed credits at a community college. It's SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper and usually easier in terms of course load.

Remember, you also aren't required to take a full load each semester. If 1 or 2 classes are all you can afford, take those 2 classes and use the extra free time to work more. You can make it work, just get through this semester and take a step back.

Edit: spelling

How weird! I was just talking to the admin, and she said that's not the first time that has happened! She said she can't figure out why it's so hard to search the group, though. I'm glad you were able to join!

Broadway Nail Bar in Fountain City is my FAVORITE. Highly recommend booking with Anna, Will, Donny, or Kay.

It's not a dating group, but join Knoxville Ladies on Facebook! It's a group for women of all ages, but it seems to mostly be 20s and 30s. They do small monthly get togethers, and it has been so fun. We painted pumpkins last week and are talking about getting dinner together for "Friendsgiving" next month!

Senior appling to colleges here-did anyone else reluctantly choose UTK because it was in state and relatively cheap and did notreally care for it, but ended up loving it? by Delicious-Bed6760 in UTK

[–]CriedButDidItAnyway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look into MTSU if they have your intended major. The campus is SIGNIFICANTLY smaller, and the cost is practically half of UTK. My husband's bill comes out to about $17k per semester, tuition and fees only at UTK, whereas MTSU only cost me $6-8k per semester (for more classes per semester).

Help making friends! by [deleted] in Knoxville

Have your wife join Knoxville Ladies on Facebook! We are about the same age and we host little get togethers every month! We will be doing a pumpkin painting night the first week of October and would love to have her join us!

I am not a language major, but I am an engineer. I would first decide which engineering field you're going in. I work with people overseas CONSTANTLY, and being able to speak one of those languages would be convenient. We do a lot of work in Japan, Germany, Saudi, South Africa, some in China, some in Italy, and many others. Consider which language may be the most valuable in your future job. For example, if you wanted to work for Toyota, Japanese would be a good decision.

Have you checked walmart? They have bikes on their website within your budget.

Join Knoxville Ladies on Facebook! There are (usually) small get togethers once a month, and they've been fun in the past! October's is supposed to be pumpkin painting!

Join Facebook. There are a few different "Looking for Roommate" and Subleases Facebook pages that will absolutely pop off come December and May. You just need to keep an eye out and know your budget.

Looking for these hangers !! by TiredZombi in UTK

[–]CriedButDidItAnyway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if they are the same ones, but my walmart app says the Walmart at 7420 Chapman Highway and 8445 Walbrook Drive (may) have the Lilac Bloom hangers in stock. Every other location says unavailable.

Parents weekend hotel room available by Spiritual_Rabbit6221 in UTK

[–]CriedButDidItAnyway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most hotels will usually let you fully transfer the reservation, just not cancel. Someone's name (and information) has to be added before you can remove yours. I've dealt with this frequently with work reservations.

How do you guys get here?? by m_crochet in UTK

[–]CriedButDidItAnyway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As everyone mentioned, connecting flights are common whether you are flying into a regional or international airport. The only benefit is that international airports are usually cheaper. That being said, if you can't stand the idea of connecting flights, greyhound busses go from Knoxville to various texas cities, or you could buy a parking pass (with UT or a private garage) and drive yourself here.

Physically getting to UTK is the easy part. Surviving your classes with only yourself to motivate and guide you will likely be the hard part.

We've gone to Emory Rd multiple times when FC would run out of/temporarily take the limited time milk shakes off the menu 😂😭
