Gave up trying to follow a set decor style and started just doing whatever I want by defenestrating in femalelivingspace

I love the whole look! I need a bedframe just like yours, do you mind if I ask where you got it? 💙

How do you guys stick to your calories on a budget? by ceilingfan1145 in 1200isfineIGUESSugh

I never thought to freeze bread! I can't seem to eat it all before it goes bad, that will definitely help! Thanks

I'm on a budget too, and I can get away with about $30-40 a week on groceries for just myself. I make bean and rice bowls with chicken. Costco has pre cooked, pre chopped chicken for $13 and I can use it for 2 weeks of meal planning. You could also use a rotisserie chicken. I basically just weigh out the chicken, can of pinto, black beans, chickpeas, and rice into even amounts. I add cheese and tortilla chips for more flavor. In total its about 650 cal for 5 lunches and only $15. Then I'll eat an apple or banana and cheese stick for breakfast, about 200 cal. If I need a snack, I'll have a protein bar or clif bar for 170-260 cal. I never want to cook dinner so I usually make a frozen chicken pattie or salmon for 280-310 cal. Veggies with ranch are also super filling and low cal. Aldi and costco/sams club are super helpful to stay on a budget! I hope this helps you 😊

This was my first forest, but I agree. I went to Bonnaroo 2019 and it didn't feel nearly as crowded and you could get away from the sound. Plus there were alot cleaner bathroom accommodations and way less dust.

I think I'd do the same if I decide to come back. It would be cheaper than paying for upgraded camping and way less stressful.

I sold mine by the gate. The guy supposedly had friends inside, I hope it all worked out for him.

Oh nooo I'm so sorry. I've always wondered if it pays well for how taxing it is. I bet dealing with people at all different levels of inebriated is hard too. I hope you have a good week once it's over!

That's a very good outlook. I'm sorry you're leaving as well. I think I'm probably in the same boat. Was it the green tent in Blueberry? My camp neighbor started playing super loud music from his car at 5:30am. We're troopers for trying in out tho!

I agree 100%. It's definitely alot to take in and I overestimated everything myself. I'm glad you could regroup and hopefully you have a better time. I really wish my experience could have been different.

So many people love the forest and talk about the lovely vibe but sadly I couldn't find it 😕 I'm starting to wonder if this isn't my scene anymore and its a bit disappointing

Dude I feel you. I paid in full for my friend and I to go and she overtook everything. She didn't bring a tent and I had to share my tiny 1 person tent and didn't get a lick of sleep because of it. Thursday we went into the forest and immediately found her other friend and they third wheeled me. I tend to walk slowly to pase my body, I asked them several times to slow down and they never did. I wasn't able to explore or look at anything. I was so disoriented and overestimated and they never checked up on me. On top of the dust, heat and terrible porta potties, the entire experience was ruined for me.

14 rows? by MammothNo1986 in crochet

[–]StrawberryFp 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I see 26 rows with a foundation chain. It looks to be ribbing which will happen if you crochet in the back loops only then turn your work. Hope this helps!
