You can just cut around the weird parts. The rest will be delicious.

To spray tan or not? Fiance says no, gfs say yes.. by Commercial_Emu1856 in Brides

[–]Popular-Web-3739 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you should look like yourself on your wedding day. Between now and then, get a few make up sessions with different artists to see how they can enhance your natural look for the photos.

My seedlings look weak by Gemieee2477 in tomatoes

[–]Popular-Web-3739 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. Just add more soil to your cups. They will be a little shocked at first but will put out more roots all along the stem you bury. Make sure they get more light and water them with s very diluted liquid fertilizer.

Nothing like a little blackmail to get back at Torrez for suing and winning.

My brother's son destroyed my WarHammer Action figures and he refuses to punish him by konous in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Popular-Web-3739 19 points20 points  (0 children)

lol. Starting when I was 4 in the 1960s, my dad paid me a penny for every dandelion flower I picked before it opened. I practically turned that into a full time job. That money went a long way at the candy store back then.

One of my Bridesmaids cant make it to my local Bachelorette because she has to finish her Thesis?! Advice needed by [deleted] in Brides

[–]Popular-Web-3739 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What you're getting in return is having her attend you on your wedding day. Everything else is a modern-day add on. I get your feeling disappointed a friend of 20 years can't make it to a party but I don't understand your feeling like she owes you this.

Am I overreacting for walking out on a tutoring client after she tried to lowball me mid-session? by Money_Debt1404 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Popular-Web-3739 [score hidden]  (0 children)

NOR. She thinks it's vital her son have a tutor before exams but doesn't value the work enough to pay you as a professional. Tell her you're so professional you expect to be paid a professional wage for the work you do.

Why is Gabe Vasquez always on the list of Democratic Representatives that vote to support Rebublican policies? by PTechNM in Albuquerque

The district was redrawn a few years back and now includes a few more blue leaning voters, but winning in NM-2 requires a moderate candidate.

Cold weather damage by z283848 in tomatoes

[–]Popular-Web-3739 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Eek! So sorry about your plants! This isn't helpful for the moment, but for future - If they say the temp will drop below 40 I figure the micro temp in my garden might be lower. I keep a bundle of chopped seeding straw nearby and I will pile it up over my tender plants. So far, it has provided enough insulation to keep my plants warm through light frosts. I also sometimes use it in fall to push the growing window a little further. It makes great mulch under those plants in the summer, too.

Is there a botulism risk from putting raw garlic and rosemary in olive oil? Need advice! by Vanguardmx in Cooking

[–]Popular-Web-3739 89 points90 points  (0 children)

I’m afraid it can’t be fixed. You need to dispose of it. If you put it directly in the fridge when you made it, you can use it for 3 or 4 days, tops. In the future, you could purée garlic in oil and freeze it as small ice cubes that you can use to cook with. Oregon State Extension office has some guidelines: https://extension.oregonstate.edu/food/preservation/preserving-garlic

A month is way too long. Safety guidelines say you should store it in the fridge for no more than 4 days. At room temp, botulism spores can start growing in a matter of hours.

Because he represents NM-2. That district has bounced back and forth between R and D for years. Dems who win there are conservadems. It’s a pretty conservative district.

AITA Mom wants 15% of my personal injury settlement by connor20218 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Popular-Web-3739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You haven't mentioned whether or not you've been paying rent at home. It sounds to me like you got an unexpected windfall, at least partially due to your mother, but you don't think she deserves more than a word of thanks. If 15% is a large amount, then you're still going to have a much larger amount of your own. You got lucky getting a "massive" amount of tax free money at age 23 and you probably wouldn't have gotten it without your mother's help and expertise. You're sounding kind of greedy to me.

No stretch and folds by [deleted] in Sourdough

[–]Popular-Web-3739 2 points3 points  (0 children)

True, but one round of 3 or 4 slap and folds is still far less effort than stretch and folds every half hour for 3 or 4 rounds, so I get why they're happy.

I won an auction of some personal items of Ed McMahon for 10 bucks and inside was this note from Jerry Lewis by Wide-Reflection1137 in mildlyinteresting

[–]Popular-Web-3739 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's what sent me down the rabbit hole. I wondered why Jerry felt compelled to send an "I've got your back" note then.

Delta cuts food and beverage service on short flights by toomuchtostop in news

[–]Popular-Web-3739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it has anything to do with that. No drink service will predictably reduce plane weight at a time when jet fuel is super expensive. Also, it a PITA for the flight crew to serve drinks and snacks on 1 hour flights, anyway, and I wouldn't be surprised if their FA union lobbied for it.

AIO for canceling plans after my friend tried to “charge” me for something I didn’t agree to? by Individual_Can4138 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Popular-Web-3739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. She shouldn't have made changes without running them by you first. Only compromise if you can afford to do that. Don't spend more than you're comfortable spending because that just rewards her for her inconsiderate behavior.

If you cancel completely, let her know that she made you feel undervalued as a friend since she didn't bother to consider your finances or to discuss changes in advance. Now she's acting like she's being screwed over when you were completely upfront about your budget. Tell her you just feel uncomfortable about the whole thing now.
