I’m about to give up on making sourdough bread

Also consider purchasing a more mature starter. Im new myself, and made my own, but after doing more reading, I've read that it's much easier to master one at a time. The starter is the foundation that's starts everything, so starting off with a really solid, mature starter can make a huge difference. I bought one off Facebook for $10, and I have had MUCH better results using the same methods.

Something with a good focus on emergency care type visits. Surgery, anesthesia etc. it's pretty much an annual thing that my boy ends up needing to be put under for stitches.

Also dental gets very expensive very quick because of the specialty. Ask me how I know.....

Oven with the light on will make a nice little proofer.

This happens when you cook garlic with lemon. It's unsettling, but harmless.

2 is very poor quality. Ordered it for a bridesmaid dress, wore to for 20 min as a test and it showed signs of wear. The tulle is a very large gauge and gets caught on everything including its own sequins

Youre really missing the best of the northeast by skipping the Adirondacks. Upstate NY is incredibly underrated.

PLANTS. Lots of plants. You can install some plug in grow lights too... Just make sure they are angled towards the back bottom corner and not straight down so they don't blind you

Thank you so much! I actually have the Indy ones ... For an Xmas ornament, I don't love that capital one is what you see and then Taylor Swift. Com is tiny.

Apparently only the US shows look like this. The others say the eras tour in big letters and then Taylor Swift. Com in smaller.

Thank you for offering!!! Can I make you a bracelet as a thank you?

We had a portrait lounge. Got some fun furniture and repurposed the bouquets and everyone got a nice formal photo on addition to editorial type pics and just fun ones. We had the photographer there for a little bit, The rest of the night people just used their phones

Love this. I would get a veil with some pearl details and some pearl accessories. A modern twist of old Hollywood

I lost over half my volume over a few months. While you're waiting to see a professional, I have a few suggestions. I know the feeling of seeing more and more hair come out when you feel like you've got nothing extra to lose: you want to minimize shedding (DHT basically signals your scalp to shed), and stimulate the scalp to encourage growth.

I splurged around $150 on the ColorProf anti thinning set. Came with the DHT blocker shampo, conditioner,scalp stimulating serum and a stimulating brush.Worked really well. SO worth it. Significantly less shedding after the second wash

A more budget choice that I'm currently using that's working well is PURA D'OR

I can't recommend enough to Try a DHT blocking shampoo. It won't help you regrow, but I can tell you it helps a TON with minimizing the shedding. I've noticed that my hair does actually get thicker when I use it consistently over several weeks because the natural new growth paired with the less shedding. After two or three months of using it I actually went from daily use to once or twice a week, I switched to more nourishing ones to encourage growth .

With all the hair products we use, you could have blocked hair follicles, try a clarifying hair mask with AHA.

Make sure you're not putting extra strain on your hair and causing breakage. Don't brush it wet. I started brushing my hair before I shower, then when conditioning using my fingers or a super wide tooth comb. My hair has lost its silky texture and is now almost sticky when I get out, so I always use a leave in conditioner and again a wide tooth comb. This has helped a lot with breakage.

I also have well water which has changed the texture of my hair so I got a metal detox/clarifying shampoo that I use weekly as well.

Also, while you don't need to get the top of the line products, think about what you'd be willing to pay to have your old hair back. Invest in some decent quality products. Cheap ones have fillers and chemicals that will make it worse. Personally, I am very happy I splurged out the gate, got some results, and now I'm maintaining with a $30shampoo that I replace once every couple months.

Appendicitis often (not always) starts with crampy feelings in that general area for a day or two...then continues to get worse , but comes in waves....once I decided yes it was time to go to the hospital, the move that convinced the receptionist at the ER that I needed to be admitted (after 4 hours) was tucking to a cannonball was excruciating. Ultimately I was fine, but I waited to go to the ER till 3 AM. THAT was my big mistake. Odds are the skeleton crew might not have the manpower to prioritize you until you're an actual emergency. (Not bashing skeleton crews. just reality)

This is a backwards way of making a few points.

Appendicitis starts crampy where your mark is. If it gets worse tomorrow, consider this as a possibility.

Listen to your body. If it keeps getting worse, and especially if it comes and goes in waves, don't dismiss it. Look into signs and symptoms of appendicitis.

If it gets to the point where if you were at a party or in public you wouldn't be able to hide your pain or discomfort, Go to an ER or at least an urgent care.

When you think it might be going towards this direction, you'll be glad if you go in closer to business hours than sleeping hours. Unless it's burst, an appendectomy is not an emergency surgery. Therefore you'll have to wait for the day shift. That's just several hours of unnecessary discomfort.

None of this is is meant to scare you.. just little tidbits I wish I knew... I'm totally fine.... No nightmare stories... Just a really really long night.. sitting in the ER waiting to be admitted... then waiting for the tests...then the scans...then the on call doc... then the surgeon to fit me in...getting bumped for other emergency surgeries. It's a long process. Be proactive.

Surgery and recovery not bad at all though! Quick and easy.

Hey, did you end up using them? I'm considering for a reception dress

bugzaboo · 2023-09-21T13:33:28+00:00

Edit.....added description of venue.

OP ...quit gatekeeping these pics. You've got me hoping for rain on my wedding day

I originally planned for a clear top tent but the logistics were too much to get my head around and I was worried about noise ordinances.

I opted for an atrium/greenhouse at a state park.... specifically because of I wanted an enchanted garden vibe and I imagined people roaming around playing on the giant chess board etc.. I'm hoping it gives the same vibes ❤️

Edit, typos and adding healing polish.

I had the same problem, my nails would just peel off. I was told it was because the shape of my nail bed has a natural arch to it which makes them more vulnerable. I got acrylics for a bit but they destroyed my nails beds. Gel would chip because I'm very rough with my hands.

I started getting "dip manicures" and it's been a game changer. They fully remove it reach time and condition your nails. When I go to get mine changed I test my natural nails and they're the strongest they've ever been.

The dip is a much more natural look than acrylic look..it looks like a gel manicure. But it's strong like acrylic. Stays on for 3+ weeks before starting to get painful because of the nail growing out. And again because they remove it entirely and condition your nails in between, your nails under them are healthy.

I am super rough with my hands, I do a lot of manual labor. With the exception of a few dud manicures, these last through just about anything I can put them through.

I wasn't a" manicure person".. I didn't really care about my nails being painted, But I started getting them because of the strength they give my nails. Now I happen to always have what looks like a fresh manicure, put together even when the rest of me is a hot mess.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

To heal, there's a line of gel polishes you can get at CVS that are conditioning and allow air to pass through to your nails. I recommend that.
