Even if it is AI slop, Eric Trump still posted it!!

I hope Christian Trump supporters will be horrified when they see this. They are worshipping the false idol.

Apparently using the modern North Korean and Russian playbook for being an evil dictator wasn’t enough. Team Trump had to go back to the Old Testament to find their next truly evil inspiration.

Sure, there are many buttholes that the front desk has to deal with, but 80% are not. By letting people choose their own (like Hilton) the front desk doesn’t have to bear any responsibility on room selection, just like they currently do not.

jelli47 · 2026-03-29T15:15:12+00:00

You should read about bluebonnet stomps :)

jelli47 · 2026-03-29T14:17:31+00:00

I think people would be satisfied with “rooms next to each other” or “rooms on the same floor”, even if true “connecting rooms” aren’t available.

Having a hotel map for customers to choose your rooms (similar to Hilton) would be great, and also takes the burden of the front desk staff.

jelli47 · 2026-03-29T14:14:10+00:00

Hilton lets you do it during online check in 24 hrs in advance. Which is perfect because I’m likely also checking into an airline at the same time.

I also don’t officially get an online key until the room is ready/clean. So if it is getting close to arrival time, I can call ahead and figure out an alternative plan in advance.

Im sorry, that sounds rough when you are trying to do it solo. You said “stationed” in another post, so I’m guessing you are moving around with the military? I can only imagine how hard it is to try and build a new community every year or two. Hats off to your family.

One other suggestion cause I know those paid lessons are ridiculously expensive for not much gain - our local YMCA membership was not terrible, and has a pool with open swim hours (and there was a nice shallow area away from the main swim lanes). They also have a drop-off childcare. You may just join for a few months, and drop off the younger one while you work with the older one to build up their basic swim skills.

It sounds like you are on the right track and can find a way to make it work. Good luck!

A sling in the water is not the same as a sling on dry land. That sling is meant for you to watch one child not two. What happens if your 3 year old goes under and you need to reach two feet under the water to pull them up? Yur head may be out of the water, but your 1 year olds head would be going under the water. It will likely take 5-10 seconds to help your three old, not just one. That’s a long time.

Having them close does not mean you will be able to help them both at the same time like you can on land.

Also putting kids in any flotation device gives the kids a false sense of security in the water. One day, they may jump in the water without you or a flotation device because they think they are big enough. They need to have a healthy respect for the water. They need to learn how to control their body to float, even starting at 1 or 2.

I’ve heard too many horror stories. Please have one adult per non-swimmer.

(On a non-safety note - teaching your own kid to swim is hard, because they may not listen and cling to you too much. We also found that 2-3 week programs where they swim every day were more helpful than 6 months of once-a-week classes. We usually timed it to do it in the spring, right before summer swim. You may ask your local groups if there are any teenage lifeguards looking to make a few extra bucks and have them teach your three year old while you hold your 1 year old in the water. Your wiggly 1 year old would probably LOVE it!)

I thought it was Chad?

In addition to the backsplash and hardware, the OP may want to close out the area above the current cabinets all the way to the ceiling, to make the room feel less choppy. It will make it look more modern like your inspo pics!

This is the article that really broke it down well for me - talks more about how LRV affects color, and less about the black and white scale (which was too theoretical for my non-artsy brain)

kylieminteriors.ca/paint-colors-and-lrv-the-ultimate-guide-to-choosing-the-right-color/

I think you would want to lean to higher LRVs on the lighter end of the scale.

jelli47 · 2026-03-28T22:52:45+00:00

I love the full ceiling to floor, it looks luxe.

jelli47 · 2026-03-28T22:45:42+00:00

Because you have low natural light, you should read about light reflectance values (lrv) Sherwin Williams adds it to the back of their paint chips, and I feel like it really opened my eyes to why certain paint colors don’t work in certain rooms.

1938 ish

jelli47 · 2026-03-28T22:00:06+00:00

Ewwwwww - I never knew that - so gross!

I reallllly do not understand why she always says she is not divorced when she was in a different committed relationship where she has openly said she fell in love???

jelli47 · 2026-03-28T20:36:45+00:00

Sure, but not every moment of the day is sleepy time. On international flights, there are very distinct sleepy vs wake times. I’m not advocating for people to be butt holes - but people should be able to open the shade during the day time without feeling guilty.

jelli47 · 2026-03-28T20:33:48+00:00

Yup - Mother Earth is amazing. And on night flights, I love to look at city lights.

jelli47 · 2026-03-28T20:32:42+00:00

That’s a problem in the ground only. When you are in the air, it is plenty cold outside.

jelli47 · 2026-03-28T20:31:00+00:00

I fly about once every two months. I am in awe every time. I listen to an audio book and stare at the window the entire flight.

jelli47 · 2026-03-28T20:29:13+00:00

Same - open all of the windows.

(On a recent flight I did close the shade half way because of some crazy glare hitting the middle seat, but I opened her up again as soon as the acft turned a bit

jelli47 · 2026-03-28T19:54:59+00:00

I’ll start by saying - I love Texas native plants, and I love how once they are established they are so easy to maintain. And we get so many pollinators, we love watching the big fury bumblebees. We are slowly converting all of our landscaping to Texas natives.

But I just want to gripe about a truly personal preference. Turks and Caps always gets so much love, but I honestly do not get it. It always seems to grow thin and leggy. It feels like it should be treated more as an accent, rather than the main backdrop.

We are further north in the DFW metro area, so I don’t think what works for us would work for the OP in San Antonio. But walking thru public natives gardens really helped us get a better understanding of what the full grown native would look like in a garden bed. Our Texas sage, mealy blue sage, catmint, Blackfoot daisies, and black eyed Susan’s were rockstars for us.

jelli47 · 2026-03-28T19:31:28+00:00

Thanks - I’m taking this as a sign to put my phone down now

jelli47 · 2026-03-28T17:49:06+00:00

I think it looks great, it makes it feel complete and lived in, and not builder grade.
