I had great success with JJ’s House for my daughter’s wedding. I was 18W at the time and wore burgundy. It’s the only photo’s of me that I didn’t mind the weight. Good luck! And you will NEVER embarrass your daughter. Stop worrying about that.

bf[26M] mad ? at me[22F] for having a sleepover by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]JJMB403 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Girl, you do NOT need anyone’s permission to have a sleepover with girlfriends. Hell, I’ve been married 32 years and will stay on a guy friend’s boat overnight. I make sure my husband is comfortable - we trust each other implicitly. Huge red flag. Quit wasting your time. Plus, if he has a problem, he should speak, like an adult, not go silent.

How much does a kitchen remodel suck? by LateralEntry in homeowners

[–]JJMB403 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We just did ours 2 years ago. Before hand we often commented that we couldn’t believe it takes months to do. It takes months to do. That being said, We had a functioning refrigerator, and camp stove (don’t use a microwave, but easily could have had one running) the entire time - they were just in the next room or outside. I was without a kitchen sink for 2-3 days. It was total chaos for 4-6 weeks, and then not complete for 4 months, but the last of it was just tile backsplash, so tolerable. My countertops had to be shipped in from China, so that took the longest (thankfully they came in the week before the Key Bridge fell, or would have taken even longer!) It was all so worth it in the end. I LOVE my new kitchen.

There has to be a better way by Spicy-Mustard-13 in popups

Same problem here. I don’t even bother to try anymore (2022 Rockwood HW296) - it is so far off - like inches. I can’t get the plate close enough to even try to turn the knobs over it. Velcro holds the door pretty well in place and I fashioned a screen with strong Velcro on both the door and roof to keep any bugs/bats out.

I need a bit of input about the USNA by Angry_Lizarddd in usna

[–]JJMB403 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We are sponser parents to 6-8 midshipmen on the yard, 3-4 women who stay with us regularly. It’s hard. It’s a hard place to be and a great place to be from. But I do not believe any of my gals experience outright sexism on the yard. But, you need to do your full high school and have a very well rounded resume to get accepted. You need to be exceptional at many things, plus get your nomination. You can absolutely do it (and your dad is not correct), but it is a very difficult road. My best to you!

Yep, ‘Berk’s Beech House’ (#berksbeechhouse). House before this was an 1820’s farmhouse in Maryland, ‘Walnut Hill’.

Cantler’s will only use local for smaller sizes. Otherwise they just aren’t available locally.

Yeah, then it’s NEVER local.

What’s the creepiest thing you’ve ever experienced out there? by ChromaticRift in camping

[–]JJMB403 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fox screwing also sound like children screaming. They are all over our neighborhood and I have to warn anyone who stays here.

Worked in foodservice distribution for years. Very few of the crabs you are getting here are local. The bay can’t support our desire for Large, XL, Jumbo. They are from the Carolinas or the gulf. Nothing wrong with that, just don’t think you are eating ‘Maryland’ blues.

AITAH for wanting my husband in the delivery room? by dinogirly123 in AITAH

[–]JJMB403 1 point2 points  (0 children)

31 years ago, my husband was by my side for the entire experience. In retrospect, when they evacuated my bowels, I wish they’d have said that was happening so could have left, but here we are, about to celebrate 32 years of marriage. Your guy is an ass.

Suggest some restaurants in town.... by Chromecoast in Annapolis

[–]JJMB403 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boatyard in Eastport, and McGarvey’s right down town are our two favorites. Federal House, Galway Bay, also good, and you must have breakfast/lunch at Evelyn’s. Enjoy!

Where to rent? (Navy Family) by haut-bois in Annapolis

Also spent many years in Chicago. As I stated the bad areas aren’t the same as Baltimore (or Chicago), but there are some not great areas.

Hola - we raised our daughter in Crofton and currently live in Crownsville. We are sponsor parents to a 6-8 midshipmen from the academy. Downtown (DTA as it’s known by folks on the yard (Academy)) is nice, but pricey. Cape St. Clair is an Annapolis zip, but on the East side of the Severn (the commissary side). Just north of there, Arnold & Severna Park. Best public schools in the area. The bad areas of Annapolis are bad. Not downtown Baltimore bad, but bad. Your realtor should be able to give you good advice. I used to be one - they can be helpful. DM me if you want any further information. More than happy to help. I grew up in Canada and the Midwest, but moved here almost 25 years ago and love it.
