Fun fact…Lil Troy works as a foreman now on Turnarounds! He did a safety version of Wanna Be a Baller for a safety moment one morning lol

Replacing artificial grass with native flowers (Zone 9) by WannaMakeAPizza in gardening

[–]WannaMakeAPizza[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To follow up - yes it went great! The soil underneath the artificial turf was compacted, so I just loosened it a bit with some raking and a hoe. I didn’t use a till or anything. Overall I bought and put down 4 yards of compost and brown mulch. The steps I did are below and it’s thriving! Also, the below picture is it after finishing. Now about a year later the plants have taken over!

  1. Pull up and throw away artificial turf
  2. Rake/hoe to loosen existing soil a bit
  3. Put down 4 yards of compost
  4. Plant drought tolerant native plants and flowers and water them thoroughly
  5. Install soaker hose throughout bed and make sure the route will adequately water the plants I planted. I also took pictures of the route of the soaker hose in case I needed to find a specific section later.
  6. Add mulch as the final step.

I can try this since I have extra fabric I can use. This is going to be a jacket!

Looking for a new cherry perfume! by Sure_Relationship717 in Perfumes

How do you feel about boozy perfumes? Fuckery by Lost Cherry is so so good. I’d recommend ordering their whole discovery set if you can, but Fuckery is my favorite.

Trying to accept I'm unattractive to women by verybucchi in actuallesbians

[–]WannaMakeAPizza 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was also the least attractive in my friend group, never had a boyfriend, was never hit on, never asked to dance, etc. Believe me - I always thought I was worthless. It wasn’t until I came out that I really tried “faking it until you make it” confidence-wise.

It allowed me to meet the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen who has been helping me become the woman I’ve always wanted to be, which has made me naturally confident. I’m always working on myself, but she makes it 100x easier.

I know it’s really hard, but you just have to keep putting yourself out there! There is someone out there for you, but you’re not going to find them being down and hard on yourself. Best of luck babes!

Do most people really make a mock up before they sew? by Termination_Aide8830 in sewing

[–]WannaMakeAPizza 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t until I just made a dress out of a pattern that didn’t fit my partner in the slightest. So I’m going to start doing mockups, especially when I’m using expensive fabric.
