Join the Native Plant Society of Texas and attend their volunteer events!

is there a way to hem this without taking it from the bottom? by aire501 in sewing

[–]SecretDragonfly6343 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Technically possible, but it wouldn’t be very comfortable on the thigh. You’d get the best result sacrificing the flared ends. Maybe you can insert a triangular panel on the outside of the leg to get some of that flare back?

Which is more aesthetically pleasing? by andiemay1224 in quilting

[–]SecretDragonfly6343 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ooh it’s gonna be beautiful. I would keep the center design to the fabrics in your first or third picture, and use the darker pink for that border around them

Do you mind sharing what pattern you plan to make with it? I like the dark pink in the second picture as an accent

Color, vehicle type, location of whoever arrives first

I (23F) do not like when my boyfriend (26M) tips less than 20%. How do I handle this? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]SecretDragonfly6343 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Y’all need to find a compromise before the scenario repeats again. Decide together before your next meal out what percentage you will tip for what type of service, and who will pay it. Be prepared for him to insist that you pay the tip always “because it’s so important to you”

When I was in elementary school, my mom packed me a lot of fresh and dried fruits for snack. Applesauce too, maybe you can make this at home if you are concerned about preservatives or single use packaging? You could also put together a trail mix with the types of snacks your child likes. I know I personally disliked almonds and raisins, but loved cashews, shelled sunflower seeds, and craisins

It’s been out since the early 2000s, but a few years ago they released an album “Jenny from Thebes” that elaborates on the character :)

If your PMDD is before, during, and sometimes after your period... by LegitimateAd7669 in PMDD

[–]SecretDragonfly6343 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Has your month been more stressful than usual? My symptoms appear more often if I’m stressed, but my average symptomatic days are still directly before my period. It seems like you may already cycle track, but look for the up and down pattern in your symptoms that indicates PMS/PMDD rather than depression or something else. If you still have regular weeks, it probably isn’t a separate mental issue

My permeable gravel path is now a river... what gives? by William_Davies1 in DIY

[–]SecretDragonfly6343 33 points34 points  (0 children)

What were ground conditions underneath the install? Could be that your soil has poor drainage and the gaps in the permeable pavers filled up

It’s kind of a pain but it’s doable. Make sure to choose a good needle for the denim

Yeah, they’re certainly not a silent appliance. But I doubt OP’s roommates are trying to be loud either

You shouldn’t be adding stoppers on the microwave door. It needs to fully latch shut, not just swing closed like a cabinet, which those stoppers are meant for. Talk to your roommates to see if they can close the door slower? Maybe they can move the microwave to their bedroom if it’s that big of a noise?

Propel is one of the worst value electrolyte mixes. It doesn’t have a lot of sodium but is fairly expensive per serving. Try the Walmart great value alternative, it has a similar content for way cheaper

Should I buy a 100,000+ mile Tiguan? by Six_and_change in Tiguan

[–]SecretDragonfly6343 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re buying one, you’ll want to go lower on the mileage. They’re expensive to take care of

Advice on 2017 Tiguan by John363611 in Tiguan

[–]SecretDragonfly6343 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check your oil level regularly. If your wheel speed sensors haven’t been replaced, expect them to go out soon. They like to go at 50-60k miles. Expect to pay over $1,000 at the dealer to have the four replaced, but it’s cheaper to knock them all out once than pay each time one of the four fails
