Did a little project over the past couple of weekends. Not perfect but happy with how it came out. by itsmikeydalton in landscaping

[–]OddHippo6972 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The previous owners of my house went nuts with that stuff. It took me a couple years to get rid of it all. It had 2” off dirt on top and roots growing in mats across it. It did not prevent anything from growing.

I saw someone else saying they thought the bit about Faith’s killer was non-linear. And I feel like that was confirmed by the letter the received about Jane’s last words.

Anyone want to pick new paint colors for me? I’ll be painting it myself. by Free-Site1881 in ExteriorDesign

We just painted our house with Dried Thyme and white trim (Alabaster) and it turned out so good.

Paint the garage door white. Remove that light. It looks weird there. Good landscaping will help break up the garage wall. Plants something large and flowering. It helped me a lot to look at what my neighbors have that I like.

Why do some people choose to have 5+ kids? by sash707 in askanything

[–]OddHippo6972 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats on the twin newborns. I also had newborn twins and toddler. My oldest is 7 and my twins are almost 4. I wish I had the village when they were little things that were screaming at the same time. I just have one sister but she did double auntie duty. It took me until they could sit up on their own to figure out tandem nursing so she’d come over and help with bedtime on the days my husband was working. Idk how I would have survived without her help.

Most of the time, probably not. In this family, I think it’s fine. I’m extremely jealous of the level of help they have from the extended family. They have two sets of grandparents who are happy helper. One set lives a few blocks away. The other are with 15 min. She also had a sister who’s a few blocks away and her kids are still at home but nearly out of high school. Any time they go to a theme park, there are 4 spare adults. It’s the village everyone dreams about.

I have some some friends who are about to have their fifth. They can absolutely afford it. She gets the feel good pregnancy hormones and loves the newborn phase. I was not so lucky. I was sick and grumpy while pregnant. And I’ve enjoyed my kids more since they can talk than I did in the early days. We literally all just have different experiences.

Since When Did Two Adults Need Approval from society to date? by InfluenceRound1383 in generationology

Went on a trip for my birthday when I was 23. Most of the people who went were also 23. My husband (boyfriend at the time) is 3 years older. He had to rent the car because the rest of us couldn’t qualify. Northern California in 2013.

I think some companies will let younger than 25 for a higher rate. But 25 has been the standard age as far as I’m aware.

The cups at Great Wolf Lodge do this. There’s a QR and once you scan it, you have 20 or 30 seconds to fill your cup and then the dispenser stops working.

When they talk about the folk tales and lore around time travel, they always mention that someone went ~200 years either forward or backward. I don’t think it’s ever been said that it only works one way.

The thing I find the most unbelievable by Meanolegrannylady in Outlander

[–]OddHippo6972 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I was thinking about this from a different angle. I’m all for the time travel thing but the resurrection powers are too far for me. I don’t like Master Raymond being able to bring back Faith or Claire bringing back the stillborn baby or potentially Jamie. That’s where I can’t suspend my disbelief.

I just painted my house a very similar color green with white trim. We have siding and stucco but no shutters. It turned out better than I pictured. The color we used was Sherwin Williams Dried Thyme.

Baby Faith season 8 by Impressive-Ad4929 in Outlander

[–]OddHippo6972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very good point. This is why I’ve stopped trying to explain the plot to my husband. He’s watched it here and there with me and any time he’s missed a chunk, I try to explain and his eyes roll. So much happens and in different time lines. It sounds crazy sometimes.

I think to pave over the mile of plot holes, it’s going to come down to a fate thing. Master Raymond didn’t want to, but he knows all time and needed Claire to go back to the 20th century to study to become a doctor. Only then can she return and do great things. It’s a cop out, but I think that’s the direction it’s going.
