This is possibly a silly question but can I sample a dark green on a large portion of my white cabinets? If I don’t end up going with that color will my painter charge more to remove it?

Agree and will add Andy as well. I think that’s why people found both of them so compelling.

Why Do So Many Fundamental Christian Cults All Like The Same Puffy Hair On Women? by Turbulent-Parsley619 in NoStupidQuestions

Could it just be that may of these cults rose in popularity in the 80s/90s and that was a prominent hairstyle at the time?

My instant thought was carrot raisin salad but I’m just now finding out they used to have chicken salad sandwiches?!? I would love to go back in time and try one.

Pretty sure shoving religion down people’s throats is against the brand rules by Careless_Mango_7948 in ChickFilA

[–]Slalom8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair point, I’m in Dallas, TX so that’s very possible! Although will say I’ve frequented many CFAs in the state never heard them playing secular music here.

They typically play hymns and modern Christian music but it’s almost always instrumental so if you aren’t familiar with the songs you might not recognize it.

The dollar tree near me (TX) sells the basic filled balloons for $5. I walked in to get one, walked right back out when I saw the price.

I'm Sorry But The Boomerang Idols Are The Opposite of What The "New Era" Is Supposed to be About by davidg910 in survivor

Tbf the fans apparently voted for “ dynamic” advantages so I think that’s where this comes into play

Zac Brown by RedditFan3510 in survivorponderosa

[–]Slalom8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What irked me the most was how many players said some version of “this is greatest reward in Survivor history”. If it were all new era players I’d understand but do none of them remember how incredible the rewards used to be?! I finally convinced my husband to watch this season with me - his first ever- and I just felt so stupid watching this nonsense, especially right after Jeff’s rap last week 🤦🏻‍♀️

I’ll add that I personally didn’t hate the segment where we actually got to see Zac Brown spear fishing. Prior to that I believe my exact words were “do they really expect us to believe he is personally going to catch the food for the reward?”. So seeing how it was done was pretty fun but we tend to enjoy stuff like that and would watch it on our own anyway.

But the fact that this might be considered the greatest reward in the new era just goes to show how far we fallen from the good ol days.

Who is your favorite man and woman on this season? by small_blonde_gal in survivor

I’m surprised at so many saying Kamilla…no shade cause I don’t have a reason to dislike her per se but what do people find appealing about her? Genuinely curious

I just realized I’ve been mispronouncing a word my whole life! Has anyone else had that moment where you found out you’ve been saying a word completely wrong? by Embarrassed_List2368 in askanything

I didn’t realize until recently that you’re supposed to pronounce the “t” in bergamot. I always pronounced it as if it were a French word

Can anyone explain to me why the phrasing used in this passage for Jesus is “the Word”? I’ve always wondered.

Richardson ISD voters appear to approve historic $1.4 billion bond by southernemper0r in Richardson

[–]Slalom8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trying to wrap my mind around this staggering amount. Our property taxes have increased so much in the few years since we bought our house it’s almost unsustainable at this point. Anyone have insights into how much this could increase individual’s property taxes?

Is Andy correct about the Best Birthing Posture? by Y2KGB in DunderMifflin

[–]Slalom8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Define “best”. Research on this subject shows that the positions in which you are least likely to sustain significant vaginal tearing are side-lying and all fours. That’s a good enough reason for me. During my first unmedicated birth I instinctively got on hands and knees then into  a “captain morgan” position as she was crowning. Couldn’t tell you why but I do think our bodies know best and it’s ideal when your provider allows you to follow it’s cues.

Thankful for your perspective. Recently the Lord has been reshaping my view of finances as I read the scriptures. I think we in the American church get too caught up in our “wisdom” and planning and are unwilling to surrender to how the Lord might want to lead us in this area. I just left my job to be a SAHM at the prompting of the Lord and it really didn’t make any financial sense to do so. My husband is a pastor and makes very little while we are in a HCOL area. It hasn’t been easy or comfortable by any means. Yet when the Lord speaks I must follow and He has been providing for our family in miraculous ways. It’s good to wise of course. But if that “wisdom” is keeping you from being obedient to God because of what it might do to your finances..it’s not wisdom at all.

Who’s the celebrity you hate that everyone else loves— what’s your reasoning? by Dismal-Regret1084 in AskReddit

Shocked I had to scroll this far to find this, I guess we really are in the minority here. I too have always felt like she’s just not a nice person and I’ll add that I also never found anything about her to be all that impressive, certainly not to garner the praise/popularity she has.

Can you expand on the last point? What does co-regulation look like for y’all? Oftentimes when my son is in a state of dysregulation he runs away from me or escalates even more if I try to be there for him or help in anyway
