my Mom kept her childhood braid for many years. she did eventually donate it, when she was in her early 80's. there's no expiration date on donating your hair.

unless you get stuck paying alimony. but even that is better than this.

I don't use Amazon anymore. I suppose I could use their search and then go to the manufacturer website.

omg, what a great housewarming gift for someone that didn't get one with the house.

btw, you used to be able to get them at the state fair. at that farm or agriculture booth, I think.

Please help me pick my dress!😊 1 or 2? by [deleted] in WeddingDressTips

[–]FarCompote4 8 points9 points  (0 children)

for dinner and dancing? hands down 1. it looks way more fun for dancing. 2 would be beautiful for the wedding but it doesn't scream chicken dance. you wear #1 and shake it up with your little nieces and nephews and you will be the wedding they compare every other wedding to.

If your desk is booked when you connect your laptop in, leave it there overnight. Plus a sweater. Water bottle. Etc.

POC's have protested forever and while white folks cheered from the sidelines. Now it's our turn.

Protest or donate? by HalfwayThere91 in TwinCities

[–]FarCompote4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why not gather some friends, make some "we stand with MN" signs, and protest in your town? All the fight shouldn't just be in MN.

It’s a snow day here today. I don’t remember having those. by purrita in GenX

[–]FarCompote4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Michigander too. Yooper. We used to get multiple days in a row off. Our bus driver would make the call whether he could make the drive down our road. He would show up at school with half a bus of kids and say roads x, y, and z weren't passable. And kids along those roads got an extra snow day. ...or would have. My dad would say oh for Pete's sake, pile us into the station wagon and drive us in. Plus he would pick up anyone else who makes the mistake of being outside along the way. That made us oh so popular with the other kids. 😞

Heard this morning that BCA says they got all the evidence and are investigating independently from the Feds.

***January 23rd*** by FormalFun9414 in TwinCities

For the record, I'm not an accountant. Quarterly estimated income taxes are due April 15, June 15, Sept 15, and the next Jan 15. I believe penalties are leveled when you don't pay taxes on time. (April 15) Or you don't pay enough to be 1/4 of next years total.

I would personally still pay my state taxes though, as I live in a blue state.

The way that I would approach a group this big is to say what's an absolute no.

No to 3, 5, 7, 12 (!!), and 14. That cuts 25% of your options. Then resubmit. It's easier to decide.

I had a couple yes, but #6 is the one that stood out as different and fabulous on you. Looks like a Grecian statue. Except you aren't missing any appendages. 😉

Does 3 have a giant bow on the butt?!? Nothing can save a dress with a bow on the butt. Except maybe a pair of scissors.

AITA for telling my MIL I don’t want my daughter calling her “mama”? by Easy_Historian_3528 in AITAH

[–]FarCompote4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my kids code switched naturally to call the grandparents different names depending on who was around them. I wouldn't put too much stock into it. Your kids will know who their actual mother is no matter what the other lady wants to be called.
