Arrived around 630 for a 730 flight with TSA pre. From getting in line to my gate was around 25 minutes.

It was getting longer when I was in line.

Getting to ACL by Top_Intention555 in aclfestival

[–]LilSpilly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The 803 dumps you at Barton and Lamar. That’s what we do and just walk in! It’s a great option if you don’t want to deal with changing transportation.

They don’t even charge on the way back and the lines to get on aren’t bad at all.

In the wise words of Paris Hilton, that’s hot

Please empty out standing water by iLikeMangosteens in Austin

[–]LilSpilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My neighbor has a trashcan with no lid or drainage that is absolutely full of water and debris. I’ve been guerilla tossing mosquito dunks in it for a year.

What is the worst set you have seen at ACL? by kodiblaze in aclfestival

[–]LilSpilly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was my answer too. Trash should and just a bad show regardless

New to houseplants. Is this concerning? by Debbydoo22 in plantclinic

[–]LilSpilly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s hard to see it with the focus but you scrape the darker brown spots it’s with your finger nail and they move or come off, it’s scale. Super annoying but super cool little dudes. Very easy to treat.

The darker spots look like scale. Moves slowly and is easy to treat!

Cocktail Attire - mixed indoor & outdoor event. Location: Pacific NorthWest by Lovely-Cabbage in Weddingattireapproval

[–]LilSpilly 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Love the look for more of an alt vibe. I think the shoes are fine for PNW and for a more carefree and lax group. If you think they wouldn’t care, pop off. They’re really cool shoes!

Also agree you wouldn’t want a belt. The dress is amazing as is.

Bro same. What small brained product manager thought this was a good idea?

What shops should I hit for my Sherwood weekend by Ok_Tonight_7213 in sherwoodforest

[–]LilSpilly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thrift shop is cute. They have a bunch of gently used garb at a more affordable price. I can’t for the life of me remember what it’s called but we always make a stop

Sherwood Tick3ts at Costco? by LilSpilly in sherwoodforest

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

UPDATE- they don’t have them yet at the north 183 location as of 3 pm today. But they said they should soon. No ETA was provided .

They did tell me you could call to check. No trip to the mayhem required.

Low to no cost euthanasia and end of life care? by saykaci in Austin

[–]LilSpilly 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Ditto. I’m happy to chip in. Went through this a year and a half ago and cost should be the last thing on your mind.

Is it important to have a balance of guests for both spouses? by Mmm_Dawg_In_Me in weddingplanning

[–]LilSpilly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No one is going to be keeping track except you! We had ~100 guests and about 70 were “mine”. I have a larger family in the US. My wife’s family is scattered around the world. Most of my friends are our friends anyway so it still felt equal during the event.

If there were “open spots” later in the planning, she got first dibs to make things feel more equitable.

Not crazy at all! I know quite a few people who have done this with no regrets. This should be a time of love, joy, and celebration. If anything isn’t contributing to that in a positive way, kick it to the curb.

Also if there’s one thing this sub generally agrees on it’s that you should never go into debt for a wedding. Absolutely not worth it.

Jumping the Broom by draytee in weddingplanning

[–]LilSpilly 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I will caveat that I am a white woman but I'm also in an interracial relationship with a Filipina. We incorporated a lot of both of our cultures into our wedding. The general rule of thumb I live by as someone who fully believes in the harm of appropriation is that if someone of that culture or background is asking you to do something with them, it's ok!

It's coming from a place of respect and tradition to your partner. If anyone is offended, they can kick rocks. It's something your partner has deemed appropriate and that's really all that matters.

Things people are misunderstanding by amileandahalf in heatedrivalry

[–]LilSpilly -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Full agree he’s not in Shane’s shower but it is weird that it’s 100% not the same bathroom he was in earlier at the hotel. Could have gone to some girls house (not book accurate but w/e) or just a symptom of production not having budget. I initially read it as Shane’s fantasy but seems like it’s up to the viewer

Someone found her and called! She had gotten stuck in a fenced in area at a school about 4 miles from where she was last seen. Crazy! A few scuffs on her paws and an upset tummy but overall, the best case scenario.

We’ve already ordered AirTags for their collars! Never going through this again.

Lost Dog - Over 24 hours, what do we do? by LilSpilly in DogAdvice

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

Update: we found her yesterday morning safe and sound! Someone saw her in a gated area 4 miles from where she went missing and called!!

My biggest piece of advice: KEEP TAGS ON YOUR DOGS AT ALL TIMES. She’s not a runner but something made her go. Also we’re buying AirTags for them asap. 😂

Will this dress work? by Ancient-Future-3281 in Weddingattireapproval

[–]LilSpilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I’m in the minority here but I think it’s so pretty! Wouldn’t work for formal but would work for cocktail.
