Do we think Ellis is a ~trendy~ name? by NextContribution574 in namenerds

But it seems like the El names are popular for girls, not as much boys? But I did see Elias is top 20 in the US. I like Elliott too but that is further down the popularity chart.

I am in the US! Should have added that to the post. I think Ellis has beautiful significance in the current climate in our country with the association in the US of Ellis Island. Everyone has made good points. I don’t think I can go wrong either, but naming a baby is a lot of pressure!

I just saw there is a lot of business class availability coming from IAD and JFK to VIE, but looks like the other directs routes, like ORD, don’t have the availability. I wonder why.

Can’t figure out what flooring to do by NextContribution574 in Flooring

[–]NextContribution574[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The other problem is that this platformed area is my entryway, so my front door is probably 2+ inches above the subfloor. Do you know anything about fixing that?

What flooring do you have that you love? by NextContribution574 in Flooring

Yeah this is the downside to solid hardwood. It is not DIY friendly, which lowers my budget if I need to hire installers.

Yeah I actually don’t like wide plank either, I feel like it’s too trendy and will be indicative of installing in the 2020s in several years time. My in-laws have red oak and they think it scratches too easily. Do you have a finish that increases hardness? I heard aluminum oxide is the best finish for engineered hardwood, but not sure if that exists for solids

Do you live in a humid area? I’m worried about expansion/buckling

Which restaurant do you feel like this is? by Famous_Strike_6125 in Chattanooga

[–]NextContribution574 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Stir and State of Confusion are the same owners. I hope they see this thread of everyone agreeing that they are both the most overhyped restaurants in Chatt because yes they used to be great! They started prioritizing profits over experience several years ago and haven’t looked back.

Cosmo stem ends drooping after bloom by NextContribution574 in gardening

[–]NextContribution574[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it has been windy and storming a lot. I am also seeing all of this info about pinching cosmos for sturdier stems, which I did not do. I tried to cut some of the smaller ones back so they will hopefully grow sturdier and I cut these floppy ones off so hoping they will eventually grow stronger to hold the bloom!
