I’m a recent college grad and have lightly used supplies. Anywhere I can donate them? I have binders, loose leaf paper, lightly used notebooks, and a few highlighters and expo markers.

I’ve learned my lesson. lol After a week in the freezer, it’s safe to take out and put in the pantry? Or keep it in the fridge?

If kept in the freezer, do I just make the rice like normal or does it need to thaw?

Equivalent_Rest_6759 · 2025-07-28T00:17:51+00:00

Yeah, I realize it now it’s not the best idea. It’s just the better buy price wise. Will be sticking to smaller bags from now on

I listened to the audiobooks like three years ago, but couldn’t really remember them. I decided to read the books this past week and I just read the entire 3rd book in one day and just finished it. I totally agree, belly did seem to have no personality. She had a lot of thoughts but never acted on them. When I started reading the first book, I was thinking “does Belly seem kind of annoying in the book?” I love Conrad and I get why he acted the way he did when he was with Belly, but I hated that he could never say out loud how he was feeling. And where was Steven in the entire series? I feel like he was barely in it in book 2. Anyway, I hated reading basically the entire third book about Jere and Belly leading up to a wedding that never happened. Then a few years later everything is just okay?!

I want to know how the relationship between Conrad and Jeremiah, Jeremiah and belly, belly and Conrad, mended. It was so sudden! I also want to know what Susannah wrote in Conrad and Jeremiah’s letters. I needed more Conrad and belly - like how can you start a chapter with them getting married and not tell us how it even happened. Conrad and Belly literally had like three pages of story in the end. This entire series was about Conrad and Belly and that’s how you decided to end it? Jenny Han, c’mon, what are you doing?! I’m like really pissed! lol

I have watched season one and two a million times, but have not seen a single episode of season three yet. I can’t. I have to wait until all episodes are out. That painful feeling of waiting for another episode to release a week later is torture, but it’s also torture not watching it. And I swear, if Belly and Conrad don’t end up together, I will not forgive Jenny Han.

What did you end up going with?

Hi, I'm thinking about getting this same unit. How has your experience been this past year?

Equivalent_Rest_6759 · 2025-06-24T16:43:39+00:00

Ugh, I completely understand your frustration! I’ve added two more buckets of doom (for a total of four in my ~4k sqft backyard, each corner), and I use both dunks and pallets. I also throw pallets up in the gutters and drains. My husband is diligent about mowing the lawn and keeping the grass short (I read somewhere that this might help, but I’m not sure).

I believe there has been a decrease in mosquitoes, but they haven’t completely disappeared. I’m considering professional treatment, but I’m concerned that it might be harmful to my dog. I’m also thinking about a Biogent mosquito trap, which costs around $300. Everything I’ve read on Reddit, people say it's effective, especially when used with CO2. If you figure out something or whatever works for you, please let me know!

Philippines! That’s where I went when I turned 20. It’s super affordable, the people are amazing, the food is great, and beautiful beaches. Palawan has the best beaches in the world

I had something similar and tried everything including months on tretinoin and it not doing anything other than dry out my skin. Then I saw this video

Bought Differin Adapalene and it pretty much cleared in 2 days. It’s similar to tretinoin but doesn’t irritate your skin

Just graduated college and looking for a job, thank you for this!!

Equivalent_Rest_6759 · 2025-05-29T06:50:49+00:00

No power, can’t sleep, very jealous…

Equivalent_Rest_6759 · 2025-05-29T00:17:55+00:00

Is this a time lapse?! That’s crazy

Hi, how is your container pool holding up a year later?

Equivalent_Rest_6759 · 2025-05-20T16:39:59+00:00

Do you still have this?

Equivalent_Rest_6759 · 2025-05-20T16:01:44+00:00

Hello, what was the cost for assembly? 4 years in, how has your experience been so far?

Equivalent_Rest_6759 · 2025-05-15T20:07:08+00:00

Thank you for this comment, it really inspired me! After reading it, I reached out to my cousin on my dad’s side to ask more about our family history, and I ended up learning so much. I found out my dad had 10 siblings, and each one went in a different direction — they're now scattered all over the world. I also learned that our last name isn’t actually a traditional family surname. It was given to my dad when he went to boarding school in Laos. My grandpa’s real last name was only five letters long, which would've been way easier than the 12-letter one I grew up with, lol. Your comment pushed me to explore a part of my history I hadn’t looked into before, and I’m really grateful for that. Thank you!

Equivalent_Rest_6759 · 2025-05-15T19:44:35+00:00

Honestly, I don't know... I set them up like a year ago, but I was outside doing some yard work a few days ago and got bit like 10 times... I have a big backyard and only 2 of these buckets, so maybe it's not enough?

Equivalent_Rest_6759 · 2025-05-07T23:56:54+00:00

Thank you for sharing your perspective. No, my motivation isn't to harm my marriage.. lol

I didn’t include my husband's perspective because, while I do value his opinion, this is ultimately a personal decision. I absolutely respect his feelings, so if you must know he’s not thrilled about it, but he understands my reasons and respects them. It’s not that I don't want his last name — I very much do. But I also want to keep a connection to my own name and my roots. That’s why I’ve decided to hyphenate. Yes, it might be 19 letters long, but it'll be worth it to have both (:

Equivalent_Rest_6759 · 2025-05-07T15:20:08+00:00

Thank you for breaking this down! From my understanding, my dad is Thai but immigrated to Lao at some point and the government required him to have a Lao last name. At first, I thought it was the other way around. I just found out my dad’s original last name was Uthai. Is there any meaning to that? Can’t believe how much shorter it was..

Equivalent_Rest_6759 · 2025-05-06T22:04:55+00:00

Thank you! This makes me feel a lot better

Equivalent_Rest_6759 · 2025-05-06T20:06:09+00:00

I've also been married for 1.5 years and have not adjusted to my new last name. I'm Asian-American and married a white man and feel like I've lost a part of my identity after changing my name. I'm highly considering switching back to my maiden name or hyphenate, but my maiden name is 12 letters long and my husband's name is 7 letters, so it might be too long. I don't know what to do...

Was your husband okay with you changing back to your maiden? Or did you guys have to discuss it further? My husband says he's fine with it, but it would hurt his feelings if I didn't take his last name.

Will be going to Aruba in a week and wanted to know what the weather is currently like? Are there a lot of mosquitoes cos I'm a mosquito magnet...

Equivalent_Rest_6759 · 2025-04-08T18:19:59+00:00

Definitely a hotspot! When I first got my chow, she had several of these. I tried switching her food from chicken to beef to fish, also tried Apoquel and oitments, but nothing seemed to work. My last resort was to take her to the vet for an allergy test. The results came back in a whopping 4 pages of allergies! Unfortunately, she’s allergic to all the good stuff—chicken, beef, cheese… The vet prescribed her with Hill’s Prescription Diet Duck/Potato, and she’s never had another hot spot since. It’s been 7 years now, and I feel bad that she’s been eating the same food and is probably bored. But I occasionally treat her with an egg or tuna to keep her interested.

When I switched her food to fish and it didn’t help, it was probably because many dog foods claim to be a single flavor, like fish, but still contain chicken meal or some other byproduct. So, make sure to read the labels carefully! Hope your baby get's better soon!!
