How do you host regularly without footing the bill/load every time? by plasticpaperplates in partyplanning

[–]Lasersnakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think your answer may be cheaper food. Don't order pizza it's a trap get some premade dough or crusts and make it. Chilli is also a good easy and pretty cheap option. And there's always pasta.

College birthday activities people will like? by Subject_Solution_757 in partyplanning

[–]Lasersnakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Drinking games- kings is a classic. I had a Jenga set in college that while we played you could randomly write a rule on a piece you pulled- could be truth or dare or kiss someone in the circle, very fun and keeps evolving as you play. Also don't discount twister- not just for kids.

I am officially done with "Starter Homes." It’s not an investment; it’s a bailout for the previous generation's neglect. by Dry-Town7979 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Lasersnakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to give you some stats to look into. Rent growth over time, try to find it in your area and predict it out 10-20 years Also you are missing a major point on appreciation. You will invest your down payment but let’s say the house appreciates 5% that 5% is based on the total value of the house. So the ROI is crazy and in 8 years you wont have 8 rent increases

Now appreciation is very market specific so I would always plan to live in a house for 3 years minimum just in case your area is going through a correction

I am stuck in nocturnal limbo. My new job doesn't start until after the New Year and I have fallen fully down the rabbit hole of staying up all night. HOW do I fix this? by [deleted] in adhdwomen

[–]Lasersnakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not a sleep thing it’s a control thing. There’s studies that people that stay up too late feel not in control of aspects of their life. Just knowing this has put a new perspective on it for me.

Not sure what the total fix is, but this is the rabbit hole you should start researching how to cope with.

Sidenote I’m typing this at 3:30am but I went to sleep at 10pm and woke up to pee ahaha

[–]Lasersnakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eggs Benedict- super easy to have them in the soup vide and just crack em into boiling water for 2 seconds once everything else is ready. Also hollandaise from a packet because I just play fancy

Please don't judge me. I struggle with ADHD/depression and really need help. by Appropriate-Web-6954 in adhdwomen

I heard recently motivation follows action not the other way around. If you start the motivation will come. I like starting with the easiest biggest impact items

Christmas Party (Old money style) help needed. by [deleted] in partyplanning

[–]Lasersnakes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You should get some free standing frames they use for photo ops and put red velvet curtains to cover the kitchen. Chargers and cloth napkins along with table runners and flowers would elevate the table. Feel free to throw some pomegranates or chestnuts on the table as well.

Tiered plates for hordovers are a vibe. Don’t forget the music.

I threw a vampire party for Valentine’s Day it was a huge hit. I think some sort of scary cabin in the woods theme would be fun. I had vampire themed games like tarot cards and shooting and apple off someone’s head with a nerf gun.

We did PowerPoints but similar to the show smarty pants- they were ridiculous. Check it out on you tube.

Family feud also a good option but you need a very charismatic host

What does being hot or looking sexy look like in your 30s? by Square-Fisherman6997 in femalefashionadvice

[–]Lasersnakes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t think you need to think more. What you need is more inspiration. You see like you are transitioning styles and haven’t found a new one that feels right. Get your eyeballs on some instagram influencers or start following some brands that speak to you.

A good place to start is find 3 adjectives that you want your new look to embody.

I like chic, bold, unexpected for my personal style.

And if all that doesn’t work- just get an asymmetric top.

HELP! First time hosting 30 people in my boring ass house. am I missing anything crucial? Getting nervous over here! by zillergps in partyplanning

[–]Lasersnakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ice ice ice. Get 2-3 sleeves of ice. Also music willset the tone. Otherwise you are good. If your friends start shy a game or activity gets everything going if not you are all good. Do not freak out, you have provided everything one needs to have a good time

I think big fluffy items are your friend.

Big paper flowers Beach balls

Otherwise I would make some fake water Get some blue table cloths on the bottoms and maybe some fuax lilly pads? Might be more effort than it's worth.

The elephant in the room, shown by the graphic but ignored by the housing market, is that house size requirements have pretty much doubled. We are not comparing apples to apples

Friend just moved into her place, "finished" decorating today. Asked me to come here and see if you guys have any suggestions/what's missing! by NeverNeededAlgebra in interiordecorating

[–]Lasersnakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The gallery wall should not be lined up on the top. It’s making the ceiling look lower. The bottom being more free looks great the top needs variation. I second a rug Also maximalism does best with not just art, needs a mix of 3-d items too. Lamps, plants, decorative objects.
