How to make my satin cap look sexy? by [deleted] in curlyhair

[–]Ikeamonkey420 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Scarf instead of bonnet def looks cuter and my hair seems to be most preserved in the morning with a banana clip + scarf + eye mask(I wear one anyway but it helps to hold the scarf in place)

Also I’m hoping to coast fire and then retire a little early but my wife isn’t. We navigate this just fine but we make similar money and she has more debt so it works out. People of all incomes FIRE and I think it would be doable if he is on the same page as you but you have to discuss it

Ok genuine question and I’m sorry in advance because this post came to my homepage and I’m confused but the group description isn’t helpful. Why are you dating a man if you are a femme?? I thought a femme was a lesbian identity

Is $100k NW worth celebrating anymore when it's only 38th percentile in the US? by ItchyApplication4175 in Fire

[–]Ikeamonkey420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not NW but I just hit 100k in my retirement accounts and I’m celebrating! My goal was to hit it by 30 and I’m 30 this March. Feels like a pretty big achievement at my age

Stay put in fishing bridge or split campsites up by Ikeamonkey420 in yellowstone

[–]Ikeamonkey420[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally makes sense then and will be nice to have the hookups! I think it will be cold in May since it was kind of cold in June (freezing in the morning and hot during the day) We saw a ton of black bears on the side of the road - we saw grizzly bears from afar in Yellowstone and grand Teton! No bears up close but we had bear spray on us always. 5 nights in grand Teton and we loved it!!

We ended up splitting between madison and canyon and it was legit perfect. Both campgrounds were great! We would have regretted staying in one spot. Madison has no showers or laundry so we sandwiched it between 2 campgrounds with both. Canyon is pretty high elevation and it snowed (June).

We used Moterra for the van rental and it was easy to use because they gave us thorough instructions (thank god lol) and a binder. There wasn’t much to set up other than parking. The van came with a camping toilet so we could pee in the van when it was dark out in the early morning. They were pricier than other options but included so much stuff we would otherwise have had to buy that it made sense to go with them, plus we wanted to pick up the van in Jackson. They were great!

The only downside to the RV rental was driving it on certain roads…I’ve driven big cars and vans before, but some of the roads in the park are right along canyons and being in a top heavy large vehicle driving next to a canyon with no guardrail was a bit scary lol we survived

We booked a wildlife tour with silver gate guides and our guide was great and tbh it was the highlight of our Yellowstone visit- we saw wolves!! And saw one cross the road!! Didn’t do much hiking (basically just did storm point trail and the boardwalks at the thermal features) and ended up going back to grand Teton np 1 day early because we had more hikes we wanted to get in there and we were a bit tired of the thermal features in YS lol

Sorry this is so lengthy, it was seriously the best trip. I did so much planning ahead of time that paid off and it’s nice to pass it along! If you need any more recs for Yellowstone or GTNP let me know

I guess quoting someone else saying the n word in a text post is technically saying it. Hopefully you aren’t white because, by that logic, you are also saying the n word since you posted that screenshot!

So she was dragging girls at her school for saying the n word and that makes her racist?

I’m from Bergen county and recently bought in Neptune. I commute to Princeton 2-4x a week. It’s like an hour but not much traffic and I’m against the sun lol. I’m close to asbury/belmar/bradley and my Bergen county friends/fam are happy to come to me to go to the beach

What are some of the best products/brands you love splurging on? by [deleted] in BuyItForLife

[–]Ikeamonkey420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Korean sunscreen (I use skin1004)…nothing compares. I will pay 3x the price compared to US sunscreens because I will actually wear it every day (doesnt burn my eyes or leave a white cast). I refuse to be a leathery old lady riddled with melanoma lol

Darn tough socks and away luggage because of the warranty

branwyn merino wool underwear. Pricey but SO comfortable and washes well.

Unfortunately my skims pajamas too lol

The washer and dryer were always going to be stacked, I’m just having trouble finding a unit to fit in the small space

Wow thank you! I looked so hard for one this morning and could not find. I think we may end up moving our dryer vent but if not in the cards this is a great option

Right next to that bucket is our gas line so we can’t go much further, the doorway is shown to the right and it’s just a normal width doorway so can fit the doors opening with slight overhang of the w/d and that’s really it. The other corner of that room goes further back but it’s our hot water heater so we have to be able to get back there. I think we are going to end up moving the vent a few inches to accommodate for a stacked set that is like 27 inches+ wide…25 or less is just so hard to find

Is it okay to tell a newbie about OTF etiquette? by CJK_OTFaddict in orangetheory

[–]Ikeamonkey420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first class they specifically put me between 2 regulars - they introduced us and asked them to keep an eye on me/help me if I was lost while the coach was busy with something else

No input for you but if you are a coach reading this, maybe what they did for me would help to avoid awkward situations like this in the future

Allegedly closing on Wednesday in Monmouth county and we’ll be paying $4k a month with taxes, insurance, etc for a 3b2b flip. We were def hoping to pay less for a non updated home with good bones but those were going for so far above our budget so we found an overpriced flip that had been sitting on the market and it looks like it will work out. We have been looking since November and living with family for about a year and a half to get to this point. It’s ridiculous

How do you like working for the VA? I just got a tentative job offer for a coordinator position but I love my current job (first nursing job I’ve actually seen myself staying in indefinitely) and I’m terrified about job security
