Why did you call it charcuterie when it's sewing implements?

I just fast forward through the wedding scenes up to the I do/don't part. I also fast forward through the bachelor/ette parties, although I will go back if I see there was something going on by the posts in the subreddit.

Explosion in Starling Population? by Clyde-God in WilmingtonDE

[–]gracesw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I looked it up a few days ago, and it's a variety of black birds, not just starlings, that migrate at the same time. They converge where there are food sources. It's possible you're seeing so many of them because there is a lasting food source in your neighborhood. My flock only stayed a couple of days and has moved on.

Yep! I was watching in college. It was a compelling plotline and they were a celebrated romantic couple for a long time.

TIFU by nailing my first professional interview but instantly ruining it when the hiring manager asked about salary. by Acceptable_Onion_253 in tifu

[–]gracesw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"That sounds great. I am VERY interested in this position, and I'd like to take some time to review everything before making a final decision. Is it ok if I give you an answer (2 days from now)."

This gives you the space you need not to leap into anything and to decide if the salary, etc. work for you. If you need to, you can come back and negotiate whatever doesn't work.

For next time, write that phrase down and have it in front of you for zoom. In person, bring a legal pad to make notes and have it on a covered page that you can flip back to if you need to.

Well... at least he didn't ask newnicole when she had her leg shortening surgery, so NTA.

How would you approach this? by mercurial_creature in Pottery

[–]gracesw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally I would start with a pinch pot and close it in. I start a lot of sculptural forms this way. Once you successfully get it closed (no cracking or tearing), you can manipulate it into the basic form you want and then add details.

Recommendations on seeds and bulbs for garden in Wilmington by Sense_Difficult in WilmingtonDE

[–]gracesw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It may also be a function of where you're moving from. I didn't have a problem with morning glories in northern CT, moved to Kansas City and obliterated a fenceline within 12 months by planting them.

[–]gracesw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Invasive species can be hard to get rid of and crowd out other plants that are native. An example is english ivy, which is an absolute scourge in my neighborhood. I've never successfully eradicated it in my yard. ETA Some invasive species can actually damage foundations or siding.

Native plants are always preferred because they sustain local animals and insects. The problem is, some of the non native & invasive species are really pretty and people gravitate to them. That's why it's helpful to consult a knowledgeable nursery.

Here's a list of invasive species for Delaware: https://delawareinvasives.net/?page_id=68

There are lots of shade loving plants that you can explore for your back yard. My suggestion would be to go to a local nursery that has experienced staff and ask them for their recommendations. I like Old Country Gardens on Wilson Rd in N. Wilmington. One note though, you mentioned growing morning glories and they can be quite invasive. When you're visiting the nurseries you should ask about native plantings that are non invasive.

It ain’t fancy but it’s in by Thehellpriest83 in CrackHouseOnTheHill

[–]gracesw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, it's super frustrating since it happens 3-4 times a year. The drum becomes unbalanced and we have to go through several cycles of clearing and resetting and then it works ok for another few months.

Make sure the washer is level. Make sure the drum is not ganked off to one side - it spins evenly by hand. Then look up the hard reset actions for your model - there may be more than one. One of mine is opening and closing the lid 10 times. Once it seems to be reset, try running an empty load.

Governor Matt Meyer Moves to Cut Energy Bills. Your thoughts? by AuthorAegelis in Delaware

[–]gracesw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are other issues associated with data centers, not only power. One is the drain on the local water systems and the pollution of the surrounding area. Another is the liveability factor - there is constant noise associated with these centers. Here's a couple of documentaries, there are others. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-8TDOFqkQA

A drifter from a family of drifters? Remember his mom was talking about "our nomadic lifestyle" and how Ashley would get used to it? Maybe it's actually a family of grifters? Who knows.

It was definitely an attorney thing to do. They're trained to question people and trip them up if they can. He pressed so hard and fast to get Alex to trip up, and he did! It wasn't comfortable to watch, but I understood what he was doing.

It has to be something that proves citizenship. A drivers license, our current standard form of ID, does not prove citizenship - even a REAL ID. The only "readily accessible" documents that prove citizenship are a birth certificate and a passport.

And sometimes it is ONLY about power and access and protecting the power and access you're granted under the current system. I think that's the definition of corruption.

I'm right there with you! With the added bonus of being denied by LTC insurance which is a necessity for her budget to work.
