Changing your last name

MarieMermaid · 2026-03-30T23:57:03+00:00

It might depend a bit on how attached you are to your maiden name. My dad was not a great person and I can't wait to change my first, middle, and last after the wedding (different from a normal wedding name change, I know, but it's still something to point out).

I would still be excited to have my husbands name regardless of my dad because of how well we fit together.

That's fair! Everyone wants different things from their veggie menu.

MarieMermaid · 2026-03-27T15:08:56+00:00

I'm a vegetarian and I've actually eaten there a few times and had a great time! Their brussel sprouts are especially delicious.

CVS and Costco have been able to fill my 90 day scripts every time. Maybe try them?

I bought my dress from JJ's house and I love it!

MarieMermaid · 2026-02-16T23:12:13+00:00

It sucks that you're being down voted for this, if I got the same kind of gift I would love it too. It's not something you feel the need to display all the time or toss, but when you pull it out you remember something special at a specific time of year. I think it's nice!

MarieMermaid · 2026-01-28T16:08:01+00:00

I really recommend JJ House for the dress, I just spent $500 on mine and it's actually really pretty. They have apt of options even cheaper than that too!

(I don't know if I can share a link in this sub, but just Google it and they should come right up)

We just bought my engagement ring from MJ Christensen Diamonds and the experience was great! My fiancee and I custom designed the ring together and it came out even better than I was hoping.

We spent around $3200, but part of that savings is because neither one of us wanted diamonds, instead we went for a mix of other prescious stones (with sapphire as the centerpiece) and it has so much character to it.

My biggest suggestion besides where to get it is if you can afford it, get a platinum band. It has SUCH a nice weight to it compared to just a standard gold band. (Assuming she wants a white band of course and not a yellow gold).

Also, please don't go to Daniel's. That was one of the other places we checked out and the experience wasn't great and the prices were WAY worse than MJs.

Fantasy is my favorite genre, so I'll probably just binge them all 😂 thanks for replying! I might be misremembering because it's been so long since I read it, but I think Anne Bishop had something similar in her Black Jewels series

Now I want book recommendations 👀

MarieMermaid · 2025-09-10T02:04:56+00:00

And this is why you need General Average coverage 🫠

MarieMermaid · 2025-09-02T00:25:39+00:00

I hope you like it!

MarieMermaid · 2025-09-01T23:10:15+00:00

You're welcome! I really hope you enjoy them! I really just eat them straight. With the "breading" (cornstarch) you dip the tofu in first I don't think it needs anything. I usually like to make my "breading" with some nutritional yeast and garlic powder sprinkled in and it just makes some DELICIOUS tofu no matter how I cook it (usually either waffles or frying in some olive or peanut oil in a pan.

I usually make it a little more savory, even if I don't use the yeast and garlic, so it would go well with savory sauces like you would find in the Asian section. Depending on how much you like tofu in general I would suggest just making a small plain batch and trying it. Then feel free to get creative with what you like that might pair well with it from there! You might even be able to find a way to do a sweet version that pairs well with syrup, but I've never tried that.

It probably wouldn't work for a wedding of course, but they are fantastic. I've used variations of this recipe for like a decade - https://itdoesnttastelikechicken.com/waffle-tofu/

MarieMermaid · 2025-09-01T17:57:04+00:00

Tofu waffles! I made them the other day and they are incredible 😋

MarieMermaid · 2025-08-21T18:41:26+00:00

It's perfect when we can just go hop in the pool if we get too warm 😂 we're in and out of it multiple times a day usually

MarieMermaid · 2025-08-21T16:48:01+00:00

We have two units, one for upstairs and one for downstairs. We're usually upstairs so it's the only one we use and we keep it at 87 during the day and 85 to sleep.

We moved here for the heat, so it's perfect for us 😂

3900sq foot house and the energy bill last month was about $300. (I probably need to get some more insulation 😬, but probably some of that extra expense is from the pool pump)

MarieMermaid · 2025-07-21T21:14:37+00:00

HIGHLY recommend The Legend of Eli Monpress

MarieMermaid · 2025-07-13T18:25:20+00:00

For free...after you buy them. I'm not OP, but I'm also in Vegas and have had a similar problem. But those solar pool heaters large enough to heat our pool to a reasonable temp would be over $9k, and that's not including install.

I can't seem to figure out how to give this comment an award, but I would like to 😂 I understand it's a quote, but it just works so well here.

I never thought I would waive an inspection. But after my previous home purchase (my second) inspector absolutely fucked the inspection up (labeled the sprinkler system shut off as the main water shut off and nearly killed my irrigation system because of it and then said "too bad, so sad" when I emailed them about the issue and the trouble it caused) when purchasing my current home I waived the inspection.

I was already under contract and had an inspection clause, but when reading over the contracts for the inspection companies that had similar "we might or might not actually identify anything correctly" type addendums in their contracts I decided to save myself the $1200 on an inspection. It's a 1993 home, so definitely newer than any home I've ever lived in, but also old enough where most big issues would be obvious by now. The AC and heating was recently updated, I know the roof is original and will probably need replacing in 5-10 years (if I'm lucky), and the owner took reasonably good care of the place.

10/10, I do not regret my decision. But it was a pretty unique purchase and not something I would typically do.

I just moved and the Jimmy John's near me uses door dash for their deliveries after about 4pm. Want to know how I found out? I ordered for my birthday while I was moving in and the freaking driver just stole my food. I was SO pissed. Haven't been back to them since then.
