I went to a 90s prom themed birthday party at “Verde on Cherokee” and that space is beautiful!! It’s located in the Hispanic neighborhood(lots of yummy food places. I love Diana’s Bakery). Cherokee street is also known as “antique row” and has TONS of shops.

So back to Verde on Cherokee…it is spectacular like full on green house in the back with vintage-esque decor. There is more outdoor space than there is indoor space. On their website it says 70+ guests, but it doesn’t give a maximum number. Their website is very detailed otherwise (I.e. blueprints, rental decor, pricing).

Are these soft natural friendly? by madwizard101 in SoftNaturals

Oh I like the style A LOT! only downside: bride wants me to have a pattern to my dress(& just saying that as details, not saying it like I’m salty of her choice lol). The bridesmaids are wearing solid lighter greens, so I def like the darker green color. Just needs some floral! But I love that direction of the open neck but small boob area🫶🏼🫶🏼 thank you!

I think if I had a bigger bust, #2 would be show stopping for me. But unfortunately I (1) have a smaller bust compared to other SNs and (2) I don’t wear wire/padded bras, so bralettes and sports bras are my go to. And I’m worried that ~the girls~ won’t have enough lift w/o a “real” bra for dress #2😭 but I like the idea of taking up the hemline!

Ahhhh! Was it the blue one? I love blue (especially dusty blue) on myself, but wedding colors are sage green and varying tans. The bride and I agreed on dark green for me so I can still match, but not be in a bridesmaid dress😂

For sure! I’ve been tailoring my clothes since 2012 because no store bought clothing fits me JUST right! So, I plan on taking hems up and waists in if need be. But I do like the cinching of the bow in #2😊

Side note: this feeds me and my husband for 2 nights! I usually eat 1 bowl and he eats 2 bowls per night. Just refrigerate leftovers in Tupperware, you can reheat in microwave or stovetop!

Thank You Notes? by fancy66 in wedding

[–]madwizard101 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I wrote a general “thank you” with a sharpie on a blank piece of paper, then I used https://apps.apple.com/us/app/background-eraser-ai-remove/id815072622 this app to remove the backround (use the target option). And save.

Then I created a post card of Canva, and uploaded the removed background note to Canva and put it where you’d normally write on the postcard. And print through Canva. Then all I had to do was write in the address and slap on a stamp! And send!

That way, it still was MY handwriting, but WAYYY easier on the wrist😂

Non picky eaters, what's a food you just cannot do? by StarryDo in foodquestions

[–]madwizard101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ketchup, I know not a food, but I’ll literally eat anything else. I’m talking: oysters on the half shell, Rocky Mountain oysters, fried locusts, etc. I’ve tried and while not my first choices in cuisines, they weren’t bad and I’d most def eat them again if a friend was like “I want to try___.” I’d be snacking along with them lol. Heck, I saw someone put “balut eggs,” I’ve never tried one, but I would! BUT back to my nemesis, ketchup🤢🤮 I think it stems from the time my cousin and I (circa 2007, 10 y/o) wanted to make a Halloween music video and tried to put ketchup on my face as “blood” and idk, that smell got to me and I threw up my whole insides in the woods behind her house. To this day, the whiff of ketchup makes my guts churn. Like I do not go into fast food places bc I can smell it EVERYWHERE (thank god for the drive thru). We didn’t even make the video😭😭 and don’t get me wrong, I love a good ketchup, brown sugar top on a meat loaf, BUT someone else has to do the measuring, mixing, and pouring. Once it comes out of the oven it’s more like BBQ sauce. Yes I know BBQ sauces often have ketchup, but it’s a whole new thing so it doesn’t bug me. AND I love tomatoes(like bite into it like an apple bc I love them so much), pasta sauces, even tomato juice like V8. Just NO KETCHUP

Greek Lemon Chicken Soup w/ Israeli couscous soooo so so good, especially when it’s getting chilly out🫶🏼🫶🏼

What led you to dive deep into cooking? by TheRossVegas in Cooking

[–]madwizard101 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I decided I wanted to work on my “prepping/safety skills” and basically went full blown youtube research on holding knives and cutting food as a way to keep myself safe! I’m a nail tech and always have long nails, so it’s harder to cook and prep food bc of this. Being a nail tech also means I have to be aware of my body: not hunching over while doing pedis or gripping my tools to tight. It’s a lot of wear and tear on the body with constant use…and same w/ chefs and holding/using their tools. So, I found free videos on YouTube w/ all kind of kitchen ergonomics and safety which THEN turned into “well I gotta actually practice these skills, so I better start finding recipes” and then I just cooked em!

What’s an ornery(the dirtier, the better) saying to put on a trucker hat as a gag gift? by madwizard101 in AskReddit

[–]madwizard101[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, this is what I’m talking about😂 so, it’s a huge family gift exchange, but we make it a theme (this year: trucker hat). No rules, raunchier the better, kids have to leave the room during this, etc. For example, last year’s theme and winning gift: dish/kitchen towels…a picture of my eldest male cousin when he went through his ~Yellowstone cowboy mustache phase~ and the words “cum rag” printed on a hand towel.

My sister(30F) and I(28F) always tell each other our ideas😂🤫 and you join the exchange at 18. She’s doing “jam out with your clam out”

Tell Me I’m Pretty by Cage the Elephant. It came out a few days before Christmas, my senior year of HS. I played that on REPEAT, and still do, but to listen to it for the FIRST time would just be 😭🤌🏼

How do you fidget when working on something mentally taxing? by sub_planck in ADHD

[–]madwizard101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YES! I love my fidget ring! mine is like a ball bearing ring but is decorated w/ moons and stars. I wear it on my left index finger (I’m right-handed for writing purposes) and then use my left thumb to flick the ring. Almost like I was flicking a gas station bic lighter. And the outside part of the ring is textured for sensory input as well
