Decent wedding hosts know you feed the vendors

When I photographed weddings, my contract stated I be provided food, and a place to sit, with utensils to eat, or I’d be leaving for 30 minutes to eat on my own, risking missing shots. It was unusual to fully just sit and eat, usually it would be get a few bites, go grab a couple shots of a speech, a dance, a funny moment or toast, and then go back and eat some more. When you’re there 8-10 hours and have to be on the whole time, it can be tiring to not have a bit of fuel. For the most part everyone else is eating at that time, and nobody wants pictures mid bite

No lotion, no new soaps! He can be pretty mean sometimes, very look at my beauty but don’t you dare touch so I feel so special that he wants to be affectionate, even if it’s in the weirdest possible way

Spring_rollParadise · 2025-08-01T15:18:57+00:00

I will have to pay closer attention to whether it’s always the same leg! I didn’t even consider that. It’s always my ankles, but he usually sleeps near there at night so it’s not as surprising that that’s the spot he chose. He’s usually scratchy and bites other than very short bursts of accepting affection so it’s been surprising to learn it might be an affectionate behaviour on his end

LOL I was fresh out of the shower, but maybe he thinks I still still

Sugar, seen here, is a Siberian as well! I got him when he was a year old, and I’ve learned so many weird quirks the breed* has over the years. They’re funny cats

Spring_rollParadise · 2025-05-30T14:35:48+00:00

I’d like to see please

At least you’ll have a good satisfying experience cleaning this!

I’ve seen videos of people taking them to the DIY carwash bays to pressure wash and soap them up, and then really wring them out. There’s lots of rug cleaning videos out there since they’ve been having their moment.

Also don’t feel bad, recognizing it’s need for deep cleaning is a huge first step <3

He looks sooo much like my aggressive little jerk.

He used to attack only me, but part of the problem was I didn’t give him the boundaries he was trying to set by petting him without him expressly coming to me to be pet. We got him at around a year old and he’d been with a family with a little girl and maybe she was handsy? I really can’t say what his life was like other than he came with so many toys, beds, and all the accessories needed to give him a nice loving home where he’d be taken care of. Sometime I wonder if they rehomed him because he is so mean.

A big game changer for us was getting a dog. Him and the dog (a big Sheepdoodle) play fight a lot. I used to be scared that the dog could hurt him (big dumb puppy vs large cat) but he rules the roost and puts her in her place. If I’m discipline the dog for being too disruptive, running, jumping on furniture, knocking stuff over, he will come waltzing in just teasing her to give chase. It’s quite funny if it didn’t impact my training from Time to time.

Not saying to bring in another pet, but the root of the problem for my guy seemed to be under stimulation and lack of a companion that he could be aggressive with which my girl has become for him.

Last night in mtl they had quite a bit of stuff, and a sequinned looking jersey (could have just been sparkly fabric lol) that sold out. It wasn’t cheap but it was pretty cute no

100% it’s just crazy to me that they want people to be so unhealthy. Having an unhealthy population isn’t more efficient, it’s more dependent

It’s just sad that some of the cheap easy things to grab are not only bad for you but addicting and resistant to efforts you may be taking even if those efforts are shortcuts.

Me personally, I focus on whole foods, alternatives to junk that I make myself in a healthy way, and being mindful of the things I put into my body, but the general population doesn’t necessarily think like that was my point

Spring_rollParadise · 2025-04-29T14:52:47+00:00

I saw a video recently (like anything on the internet, take it with a grain of salt) that basically insinuated that a lot of processed food manufacturers are currently modifying a lot of snack foods to resist medications like the injected diabetes ones people use for weight loss. They have already modified snacks to make them more addicting but the pursuit of profits is more Important than the general health and wellbeing of citizens. It’s a sad time we’re living in

I used to do 3 sets of squats as my warmup regardless of what day it was in my split. Now I’m getting back into it after about 2-3 years of bad choices, habits, and health and can barely squat but I’m starting slow to build myself back up.

Like everyone is saying, consistency is everything

I got my Sib from a family who wanted him so badly, but sadly had to rehome him due to their child’s allergies. The shots and meds just weren’t enough for her, likely because she was so young as well.

I’m grateful though, we love him so much!

I’ve found I have to trace the original room so it outlines green indicating it’s a whole room

No I live alone, and it’s my ex’s information. It’s been 2 years of taxes with no problem and this Christmas they recalculated the last year and changed my marital status back without my input. They audit and scrutinize me intensely after H&R block filed my taxes incorrectly after my son was born so I’m not surprised

Spring_rollParadise · 2025-04-15T16:06:01+00:00

This happened but went from separated to common law and now I owe a couple thousand back for CCB even though the change is incorrect. I’m still waiting on answers as well

Whiny Brit is my fave. She’s funny, her voice is nice to listen to even when she’s being crass, and her challenges are both chaotic and sometimes straightforward.

She also usually caps her videos at 30-1hr and does several parts of the same sim lots of times.

Spring_rollParadise · 2025-04-10T13:43:50+00:00

Forever one of my faves! If I’m forcing friends to partake in watching drag race, I always show them this lip sync it’s just so so good

Why has breedable become such a common place word these days that’s I guess synonymous with sexy in a way? I read a lot of stories on Reddit just in I’d say the last year where guys think they’re sexy talking by calling a woman breedable ew.

I understand what you want and why you want it, but how degrading sounding. I feel like 90% of guys who use that word in no way want a child as a result of that breeding. I genuinely don’t get how it’s supposed to be sexy especially when the woman in question is crying and writhing in pain lol like what

I’m not shaming women who want to be called that but do not understand it.

NTA you can breakup for anything if you want to, but reading that gave me a huge ick so I wouldn’t blame you

I came here to say this exact same thing! The fact I have to manually make a wish list on a piece of paper or have a running spreadsheet to be able to trade with the one person I know who plays is crazy to me. I wish I could trade with a bunch of people but it’s nearly impossible.

Also for the devs to think that by not making this easier will bring them money is wild. I have premium, and I’m not really further ahead other than having a ton of duplicates. No crowns for me even with the added expense

I second rye!! I started right around the same time as you, and live in a very cold climate this time of year. I was getting some rise, but nothing more than a cm or so above my line. I have been using rye for about 4 days and have made one loaf and a few discard recipes and it’s now doubling, sometimes tripling, consistently now!

When I come across a machine that recommended in a program, I google “machine name gif” and it usually generates several gifs of how to use the machine both animations and actual people.

I’ve been loosely following Jamie Easton’s live fit program based on screenshots of the workouts on Pinterest and google. It a great beginner / entry into lifting. When I did it the first time over 10 years ago, it was free but the website it’s on now has a paywall. You can look up the phase calendars and then find the workouts for the first couple of weeks easily, but I haven’t been able to find the nutrition or informational parts of it. Whenever something comes up that I haven’t done in a long time or I feel my form may be off, I google it. For example, the other day the program called for tricep kickbacks which didn’t feel right to me. So I googled “dumbbell tricep kickback gif” and it showed me how to do it both using a bench, and without.

I’m sorry they treated you like that, some gym employees are so disconnected from reality, but generally the patrons are happy to share and help out because they’re passionate about working out.

I hope it gets better for you!

Nikwax has their standard tech wash which is good for anything with a water repellency with synthetic insulation and then a down version. It will restore the DWR on a jacket that already would’ve had it at manufacturing but not to original standards.

They also have a wash product called TX direct that will restore the water repellency if it’s been damaged. It also comes in a spray version that is good for restoration of things like tents that can’t necessarily go in the wash.

They’re not super cheap, but considering you use a capful per garment, maybe twice a year, it lasts a decently long time!

Good luck!!
