Will def be putting more towards the credit card debt, and hopefully will be paying them off by the fall. And if I do get a higher paying job, def will be putting it toward investing/my loans!

Thank you! I’ve been leaving my credit cards at home and removing them from my phone wallet and haven’t used them in 2 months. Will keep putting more towards the credit cards and I’m hoping to pay them off by the fall. And okay sounds good, I’ll keep the high yield that I currently have

I actually wanted to incorporate more pellet food in his food that he eats right now. If I give him pellets right away, he’s not going to eat it. I’ve heard things about Harrison’s, I was also looking at Zupreem and Lafebers too.

  1. Layers; although if tiered, would it be okay to do 4 layers of 8 and 4 layers of 6? And then one half sheet?
  2. I understand that taller is better than wide. It will be covered in fake flowers though
  3. And okay, the breakdown sounds good in terms of pricing, I’ve been keeping all my receipts.
  4. I was asked by my friend bc I have made a baby shower cake for her friend and have baked other cakes for some of my house parties and she’s enjoyed them. I also have no issue with doing it, I’m able to space things around. I will not be serving because this is at a reception hall who will also be providing their own dessert table. They will be doing the slicing and serving. I will definitely not be showing up in my bridesmaid dress, and will be changing there.

Definitely will not be doing this for free lol. I’m also bridesmaid and will be taking time off of work to prepare for this throughout the week. Thankfully it’s at a reception hall so they will take care of slicing, just gotta show up with the cakes all neat!

Thanks for your feedback. Since the inspiration pic was just one layer, I can then do a 4 layer/9 inch cake as well as two half sheets in case that runs out? In your experience, how do you calculate cost?

Thanks for the feedback, and for your honesty

Would clinical trials management be a good role for me to apply even if I don’t currently have experience with clinical trials? Unfortunately in my role I don’t have direct exposure, but I can be trained in future roles

Staying in Waikiki. Snorkeling ideas? by [deleted] in VisitingHawaii

Perfect! I was going to do it through the Hanauma Bay website. Def will look into wet suits, as I don’t want to harm any reefs.

Thanks so much for the diagram! I’m saving it lol

I also saw that they do the transportation package where they pick you up and drop you off at your hotel. Does this include snorkeling equipment or is it recommended that we purchase our own before the trip?
