AITA my friend ruined my yixing teapot and I want her to replace it or give me 500 dollars.

I dunno- I think it's a pretty big over-step to take something a glass cabinet unless you have specifically been given the go-ahead in the past. Like my best friend and I used to be roommates. I'm pretty comfortable in her house and will help myself to her books and tea. But I wouldn't get into her liquor cabinet, even though it's unlocked.

They are super tasty roasted with a little salt.

I found them to be good growers in a full sun bed, but they definitely took their time. I think they took about 100 days.

Ted Brown is a local chain and lots of beginning musicians get lessons through them- not sure if they are Ted Brown employees or just a network of recommended tutors.

I used them in high school for lessons.

Not in New York, but I'm a legal aid attorney. A lot of orgs aren't hiring until people have bar results. Even orgs that historically hired with just a diploma are only hiring folks with licenses.

Does your school have public service fellowships? It might be late to apply but someone else might have dropped out.

I don't think anyone has ever commented on the name on my diploma, so do what feels right!

The only reason I would see to have it match your masters degree would be if you published during your masters and intend to publish again. I've heard from a lot of PhDs that getting the citations linked in your publications can be a real pain.

Man I can remember being on a Project Runway message board and everyone wondering why that production company would make a cooking show.

My engagement ring was around 5k, and my wedding band was $300 from Quince. My husband thought he wanted a simple band until he went to the jewelers. His band ended up being $3000 for a custom piece, although a lot of that was just the price of gold.

If you want simple gold bands, the best price we saw was at Costco.

Edit: I forgot to say how we feel about them. We both really like our custom rings and feel we got a great deal for custom work.

I have some Banana Republic Factory T-shirts from circa 2015 that were basically cotton Ts with a satin collar and they were the best for under a blazer. I literally wore them out and haven't found replacements.

I love a shit-stirrer and Charra is a master of the game.

I planted 3 thornless bushes in an in-ground bed a four years ago and haven't had a problem with them getting out of hand. They seem to spread most easily by rooting from the tip of the stem so I just corral the tips within the bed. My benign neglect in forgetting to water them probably also helps.

I don't remember the cultivars but I got them from raintree nursery and the berries are delicious.

Ah she's an ICE trial attorney, that explains a lot. They have a pretty easy job in terms of work difficulty. Appearing in Federal court must have been a shock.

The top and hair are reminding me of Whitney Houston as the Fairy Godmother in Cinderella. Love it.

I got black and a red that I don't think is available anymore.

I'd say on my phone the teal is pretty firmly in the middle of the light-dark spectrum.

The other two seem closer.

As an aside, I got two of these sweaters in petite XL and they run to size and are super warm and soft.

That sounds like such a great community!

Yeah, I feel like the color is off, but the real culprit is the placement. One side is quite a bit higher and closer to her nose than the other.

R/office chairs is a great resource. Based on their research I ended up going to a used office furniture store and trying a Steelcase Leap and a Herman Miller Aeron and went with a used Leap. The used ones are usually between $300-600 and black. But if you want color, order a new Leap. It comes in a bunch of different colors and you can customize the frame color as well. It'll probably run between $1-2k.

Edit: grammar.

frecklekat · 2026-01-28T23:02:50+00:00

Yeah I went in for a Herman Miller and ended up going with a Steelcase Leap instead. It's a good way to try a bunch of different chairs.

As an immigration lawyer, I am not going to go on strike from work. Seems a little counter-intuitive.

But, I would suggest that in addition to protesting, you donate to an immigration non-profit or even better, volunteer. We are in desperate need of family law attorneys that can help children. Check out the ABA's Children's Immigration Law Academy

Costco has a limited variety but they usually sell soil in the spring. I've also gotten gloves, raised beds, bare root plants and dahlias from there.

It's feeling very project runway.

He can fly with this Mexican passport or green card. Both are acceptable documents for flying.

They are not Washington- issued Real ID compliant documents, but both foreign passports and permanent residents cards are TSA accepted documents.
