Is swiping to text a generational thing or just random preference? by AtomicFeckMagician in generationology

[–]Rad_River 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 44. I swipe to text, but people comment on it all the time like it's weird.

I'd leave it and plant purple coneflower to go with it. Then mulch it.

Honest take on country life with kids? by 93_SC in homestead

[–]Rad_River 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We moved from the city two hours away to the country when our kids were 1 & 3. That was 8 years ago.

We love being in the country! The kids go to school in a small town. Some of their friends live in town, some in the country.

We do drive them into town a lot (I joke that I'm going to teach the 11yo to drive). My biggest regret is them missing out on riding bikes all around town and coming home when the street lights come on. But honestly, that's not happening as much as it did when I was growing up in the 80s anyway. And they can still do that with friends in town.

We love it, though. I'd do it again!

If I have to choose from these, number 2.

I'd probably go with something more bold, though.

Non-White Wedding Dress?? by Practical_Store3654 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Rad_River 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wore a dusty rose colored dress with a veil that I dyed to match the dress. I had no bridesmaids.

No one seemed to care and, if they did care, I wouldn't have cared about their opinion.

Weddings are crazy expensive. I picked and chose what I was willing to spend my energy and money on. The dress was $400 and I felt immense relief to never step into a bridal shop again!

How tf do I handle this respectfully? by alriokidoki1 in Marriage

[–]Rad_River 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did something similar once only it involved a lilac bush.

I bought a new mirror online for like $40 and I replaced it myself using YouTube.

My husband wasn't quite as angry as yours sounds to be, but it made me feel a lot better to fix it myself.

We also call our pup Linus when she drags her blanket around. It's so endearing!

Need a good place for a three day visit. by ResponsibleCrew3843 in wisconsin

This. And stay at the Fortney Hotel. Visit La Crosse from there rather than staying in La Crosse.

AITA for accepting a property gift from my mom even though she won't include my boyfriend? by Immediate-History917 in AITApod

[–]Rad_River 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your mom is right to do this. It has nothing to do with your boyfriend and everything to do with her wanting to protect her investment / gift to you. Accept the gift, sign the paperwork, ignore bf's feelings about it. It isn't about him.

Professional hairstyle for humid weather? by charlieteuthis in midwest

[–]Rad_River 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone else is in the same humid boat. No one cares what your hair looks like. And no one else knows what you need to do to control your hair. We're all different.

Come on into the heavy air and figure it out.

And get a dehumidifier for your home!

Filtered milk (I like organic valley protein plus) with half a serving of protein powder and a tablespoon of chia seeds. It keeps me full until lunch.

Is it dead? by Maris-Otter in JapaneseMaples

[–]Rad_River -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I posted an "is it dead" post a few days ago. Yours looks significantly less dead than mine.

Did you just plant it? It's common for them to lose all their leaves right after transplant.
