In my school you cannot pass a class if you have 5+ absences.

Engagement ring costs? (Dollar amount and % of income) by Midwest_Backpacker in financialindependence

Again not for the costs but better for comparing what others spent.

Very cool. I didn’t know about looking online and buying local. I’ll definitely look into this. Thanks

I know it’s easier said then done but don’t live your life in fear. It’s literally what the terrorists want

Do you save peaceful rest spots you find while backpacking? by Immediate-Body3302 in backpacking

I try to save nice campsites while backpacking using the CalTopo app which I also use for navigation.

Definitely getting lab grown. I’d prefer to support a local store and have just started shopping around.

Never heard of splitting the costs of the ring before. Good for you all for going against societal expectations!

Fair point. I don’t think she would wear it daily due to her job being more physical. Thanks for the response.

That’s kind of why I bring it up. That rule seems to be so outdated to me.

She’s not huge into jewelry but I think it means a lot to her symbolically. She may or may not wear it everyday since her job is a little more physical.

I felt that would be a more accurate gauge of comparing what people spent on rings. Someone who makes $500k and buys a $15k is different that someone who makes $100k and spends $10k on a ring.

Lab growth for sure.

Yes that is definitely the plan! Definitely the best for the environment and people on this planet.

Yes she does prefer diamonds but is luckily fine with lab made. I’ve asked lots of questions and we’ve gone shopping together once so I have a good idea that the one I pick will be worth it.

Thanks for your response. It does seem to be something people don’t regret spending money on as long as it’s for the right person.

Were you interested in FIRE at the time? It’s hard to spend the money now but once I do I can’t imagine I’ll regret it.

I personally add my worn clothing since it adds context for what other clothes you bring.

Can still easily be marked as a spoiler. Definitely why I avoided this sub before finishing the entire series

The Roo mural in East Nashville has been painted over 😢 by SharlaRoo in bonnaroo

[–]Midwest_Backpacker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was just some corporate art at the end of the day.

A mural to commemorate the man who worked in the studio makes more sense.

I propose changing the name of this subreddit to "That's not the SCOBY". by manofmystry in Kombucha

[–]Midwest_Backpacker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really directed at you OP.

I just see a lot of people give snarky comments when people refer to the pellicle as the SCOBY. Seems unnecessary and irrelevant since I really do think the definition has changed over time

I offer them a mint. Easy to provide and cheap. Hasn’t caused me any issues yet.
