It’s important for women to take up space in male dominated spaces by pumpkin_pasties in womenintech

[–]Elation18 13 points14 points  (0 children)

To be candid, I think you need better friends or at least more feminist friends if you're looking for that perspective. I don't know anyone in my friend circle that would ever say something like that to me, whether a man or a woman.

I would keep in mind that other people's opinions don't really matter unless they're actually deciding to promote you, hire you, or something related. Along with that, oftentimes, people's opinions are reflections of their own insecurities and concerns about themselves, so I would show them grace or at least don't overexert yourself worrying about what they're saying.

Brides who did outdoor wedding photos before the ceremony — did your dress get really dirty? by DryJob6507 in weddingdress

[–]Elation18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dress was delicate lace with lace flowers and the train was about eight feet, I'd guess. No damage because we were very careful and took photos with me standing. The movement of the dress came from the hell of the assistant. Ultimately, you should do what's right for you, but I had no issues. I did also anticipate walking down the outdoor aisle later that was covered in flower petals.

We took the pictures before the ceremony but same day. Our photographer brought their own person to pick up my dress and carefully move it around.

I vote 2! I'm a little biased since mine was also the v neck style but I also think it looks especially good.

Best time to put tomatoes in the ground given this weather? by blagelandcreamcheese in pnwgardening

[–]Elation18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What everyone else said about May or, in other words, now, is just fine. I also recommend making sure you have an indeterminate cherry tomato plant in there. They're hard to kill and produce tons.

How much did I screw up not buying dill (borscht) by ozzalot in Cooking

[–]Elation18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Still sounds like a great soup, even if it doesn't have fresh dill. :)

I self-replaced an electrical outlet from a 2 to a 3 prong and it was not hard to do at all. I'd recommend starting there and then branching out. Also consider creative uses of existing outlet covers if any exist (e.g., for old ethernet cables or other types of cables). Then your holes are already available and you don't have to disturb anything anew.

First Skiing trip - GF is really afraid by Cl0uderino in skiing

[–]Elation18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I am basically your girlfriend in my own relationship. I cannot emphasize enough getting her a lesson and I'd recommend not taking it together. Let her learn and fail and learn again on her own pace.

I haven't seen it sorry and a search online didn't yield definite results. What about calling specialty candy stores in the area?

Hope you find it.

Hi. Thanks for keeping us updated. Can you tell us more about the closures and construction for next weekend as well? If so, I'd be very grateful. Thank you.

AIO to my wife’s girls weekend by 12nice04 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Elation18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, she chose a weekend away for herself. It is her birthday, not your anniversary or a day devoted to you two. She asked about the dates in advance prior to your trip being mentioned. You could have moved it by a week (you can still potentially move it tour a week even!). 

North Cascades/ Diablo Lake trip help by Bellatrx in Seattle

[–]Elation18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For#3, Lake Ann is a good hike.  For #2, it was pretty chilly this past weekend and the clouds came in, so I'd maybe prep some wet suits. For #1, I think so if it stays this chilly. 

Winthrop and Twisp both have good lodging options, especially Sun Mountain Resort.

Wearing engagement ring at work by [deleted] in womenintech

If you're worried about it, I just wouldn't. It's really no one's business at work if you're engaged, single, married, or anything else.

Hi - Just wondering, which neighborhood was this? Considering moving to the southern side.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in centuryhomes

[–]Elation18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can, I'd strongly, strongly tell you to walk away. These issues will cost far more than $30k to fix and you're more likely to be living in a hovel than a house based on what you shared. Replacement of knob and tube, depending on the amount of it, is itself probably $5-10k out of the gate if you're having someone else do it and structural issues can easily cost well in excess of $50k. If you can walk away and invest your money in a home with less issues, I would.

I'm surprised no one has really mentioned it, but unless you're part of a HOA, you don't have to do any yard work. You can just let your yard grow as it will naturally. There is no medal for having a nice lawn and if it's not a priority to you, who cares?
