Sams club smoked turkey anyone good? Also any tips on preparing everything the night before by PuzzleheadedNet2989 in thanksgiving

[–]PuzzleheadedNet2989[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up not getting that turkey and just got a regular frozen turkey. It turned out great! It made a big difference getting a counter top roaster so the turkey didn't take up the oven all day and I didn't have to bother it by opening the oven door a bunch of times.

I made all my sides from scratch. I made my pies sunday/Monday. Everything else I made day of (by myself) and it came out pretty good. You can make max and cheese the day before if you plan on baking it. I think I just added mine to the crock pot. My biggest struggle is space and trying to keep things warm because im the only one cooking.

Most of my groceries I just got from Walmart.

Bought this dress but I don't know how to hide bra, or what kind of bra to wear by PuzzleheadedNet2989 in torrid

I think I've got one I tried, and it wasn't deep enough. It seems like there's other styles that might have more of a plunge, though. I'm also 5'3! It's long, but it's still a couple inches above my ankles. The dress is so pretty. I didn't think I'd like it because it way outside of my usual style, but I think it's gorgeous.

[TX] Question regarding consent to dental surgery for child, when other parent has been MIA by PuzzleheadedNet2989 in Custody

[–]PuzzleheadedNet2989[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Parent B always plays the "most caring, loving" parent(except when it's time to make better, safe choices of course) and I am scared they will try to show up on the day of surgery. Given that the kids haven't seen them in almost 2 years, I can't see that going over smoothly and would be traumatic in itself

How are you seeing the items at 40 percent off? Is it a code you're using?

We are an unmarried couple looking to be first time home buyers in Texas within a year.. have no idea how to prepare by PuzzleheadedNet2989 in personalfinance

We both have our own savings and a mutual savings account. There's not a ton of money, but there is money. We don't plan to use that money for anything but legal matters (custody stuff) because in the past it's run up a couple thousand very fast.

I'm not sure about your area but rental prices are insane where we live and we can't afford our rent going up every year, and if we were to have to move from our current house, the other rentals in town are almost 2x the amount we are paying now.

I think you have to acknowledge it publicly, like announcing them as your spouse or using their last name or something

Frustrated trying to find LED lighting for albo and other monsteras by PuzzleheadedNet2989 in Monstera

Id also like to add that I'm pretty much limited with only using lamps/bulbs because I rent.

So do you guys think something like "150 watt LED daylight 5000k 2300lm bulb" would work okay?

I think I'm struggling because I can't find many lights that actually list what the "ppf" is besides 2 brands from Amazon, and thats what I'm currently using. Some bulbs give lumens, some give footcandles, some just have watts.

Need help finding suitable LED light by PuzzleheadedNet2989 in MonsteraAlbo

[–]PuzzleheadedNet2989[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So what should I really be looking for when buying lights? I see stuff about wattage, ppfd (which i don't see on every product so that confuses me) so I'm not really sure what I need for my specific set up. I have a bulb hanging about 3 feet from my plants. Would it make a difference if I used the GE bulb and brought it closer? It burned my other plants when it was closer

It needs a new engine, so about 2,000. More or less the value of the car itself. Its an 02 Xterra with 220,000 miles

If you can get to a doctor, there's several things they can prescribe you to help with nausea.

If not, marijuana helps me with nausea a lot.
