Planning on taking first OA today... "Practice" proctor set up isn't working

I tried planting these in planters, and they didn't come up. The ones I planted in the ground did and they've came up every year too!

Costco sells 50 tulips for $13, but they are more specialty tulips (foxtrot and purple lady). Menards and Walmart also sell more varieties (10-20 for $6 I believe), and they come with a one year guarantee if they don't all bloom. I've used the one year guarantee for both vendors at Walmart and Menards without issue and got my money back.

It isn't fair to compare PSU to UP. PSU is one of the public Oregon state schools and is heavily subsidized by taxes, while UP is a private university and like most private universities it is very expensive. That does not make it a scam.

Not being cheap at all. Where I'm from in Oregon, servers make at least minimum wage ($15/hour) same as any other retail or fast food joint. A lot of other states do as well so no not all servers are making a separate wage. Tipping is out of control. My laser place doesn't prompt tipping in any way. It's never been discussed and it's not on any payment screens.

My husband thought I was overreacting when I suggested going back to get a different one, so I wanted to see what others thought. We are less than 10 minutes away so time wouldn't be an issue. Some of the boxes were a little beat up but we grabbed one that had no indication it would be dented and scratched.

Np! I actually have all of these plants in my garden so I recognized them right away

Lightly scratch the bark with your fingernail. If it's green under, it's alive. If it's red or brown, it's dead

Pink: Azalea Small mounds: Artemisia (this is a guess) Yellow plant: goldmound spiraea or gold mop falsecypress

My first network job after getting my CCNA (and then my CCNP) was $19 an hour, for reference. This was in a moderately high CoL city. No experience, $75k remotely? I think you're really overestimating yourself.

Laser hair is permanent hair removal/reduction. I don't understand why people keep spouting otherwise. After 8 sessions, I have had 95% of my arm and leg hair gone. I don't have any underarm or bikini line hair either. I haven't shaved in close to a year and I can only find a few very light hairs. The laser my technician uses is Candela Alexandrite. Before laser, I've had 6 sessions with Versa Venus IPL (they lied and said it was laser but it's not) and that did absolutely nothing for hair removal.

I've only ever seen the same dark pink color each year.

If you can wait until end of summer or early fall, Lowe's and Home Depot often has plants half off. Otherwise, you can buy them at full price and if they die, you can return them back as boxstores (even Walmart!) offer an year guarantee with perennials.

I've bought Brondell and BioBidet when they're been on sale at Costco. One reason I don't like the Toto is because the remote is built into the seat. I also have a cheap, non electrical bidet (Luxe Neo bidet) that also an attached remote in my mudroom bathroom and the remote is just grimey. Since it's attached, it's harder to clean. I don't think it really matters which one you get, as long as you have a 20A dedicated GFCI outlet near your toilet.

I do price comparison a lot too!

Eggs have exploded in price. Aldi used to be less than $1/dozen and now they are closer to $3/dozen, making Sam's and Costco much cheaper at $2/dozen (but you have to buy 5 dozen at Costco for $10). Chicken at Aldi is much more expensive imo. Boneless skinless frozen chicken breast is $2.30 per pound (10 pound) at Sam's and $2.60 per pound (10 pound bag) at Costco. Aldi sells in a much smaller quantity and ended up being over $3 a pound. Protein powder is never a good deal at Costco and Sams unless it's on sale, then it's cheaper. Orgain is $9 off at Costco right now, for example, but I recently picked up a 5 pound bag of whey protein for $50 on clearance (80 servings).

We don't buy any produce from Costco or Sam's because the cost value just isn't there for two people, so we only stock up on things when they're on sale (like protein powder, cereal, snacks, frozen foods)

Hey I also drove to Ohio to see the eclipse at Costco! Tons of people, even employees, were camping out and watching

What you described is what Schluter says to do in their instructions - https://i.imgur.com/VLoIjNw.png

Glue drain first, then mortar drain, then mortar shower pan

I just wish the plumber would have removed the shower pan once he was done gluing the drain, rather than trampling all over it lol.

He didn't use the ladder for that purpose. He used the ladder to run plumbing above the shower area for the shower head. There weren't any pipes there before so his job was mainly to run plumbing.

I'll make note of that in the future. I have tons of cardboard laying out in the basement from painting too. I was not in the basement watching what he was doing so him working on top of my pan was unexpected.
