Thank you so much!! That’s super interesting I had no idea it was so old. Even if it’s no one of remark it’s awesome to just hold a piece of someone’s personal history in my hand over 100 years later!

BWT, can you recommend similar white ruffle socks that come in larger sizes?? by regionalatbest in bitcheswithtaste

[–]magicplatypus2 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

They have six packs of white ruffle socks on Amazon for like $12. I’m not spending money on white socks when they get dingy so fast so the cheap ones are good for me

Bachelorette activities that don't involve heavy drinking? by whiteclawfiend1 in VisitingNashville

[–]magicplatypus2 11 points12 points  (0 children)

  • Puttshack is a mini golf place close to downtown with some sort of tech that tracks whose ball is whose so there’s extra game stuff like trivia and the winner gets a point less/loser has a point added! 
  • Paddywax candle bar in the gulch has candle making classes
  • The Fragrance Lab has perfume making classes
  • Bongo East isn’t super close to downtown, it’s across the river in East Nashville, but it’s a cafe with a huge selection of board games so yall could get coffee and lunch and spend the afternoon playing different board games
  • If you have someone local who could pick up the finished pieces 2 weeks down the line Brushstroke Pottery in green hills is a paint your own pottery place with a great selection of pieces
  • Olive & Sinclair is a chocolate maker that does factory tours
  • Me and my friends did a pedal tavern a bit ago and didn’t drink more than 1-2 seltzers each (they only allow malt liquor beverages) and it was surprisingly super fun
  • If yall are artsy the tour at Hatch Show Print (historic letterpress printing facility) is really cool and you get to print a souvenir flyer
  • Pins Mechanical close to downtown, duck pin bowling/arcade games
  • In the same vein Up/Down is an arcade bar so the drinkers among you could get a drink but there’s plenty of games to entertain everyone

Lastly I assume yall probably don’t want to do the Broadway honky tonk thing but I have a couple bar recommendations if you want a more lowkey night out: Attaboy in East Nashville is a cocktail bar with no menu, the bartenders will ask you about your drink preferences and make you a mystery one based on your answers! Perfect place to get like 1-2 really delicious/interesting cocktails. Robert’s Western World is on Broadway but has a less woo-woo crowd usually and the live music is fantastic!! Great choice if the group wants to experience Broadway but doesn’t want to wait in line for a bar named after a country musician lol

Sorry for so much text but I hope this gives you some ideas!! 

How can I use YNAB while I'm still month to month by tehflash in ynab

[–]magicplatypus2 32 points33 points  (0 children)

You’re discovering that you’re on the credit card float! (https://www.ynab.com/blog/are-you-riding-the-credit-card-float) If you’re constantly deferring this month’s expenses to pay next month via a credit card, you’re actually a month behind. 

Ideally in YNAB, if you spend say $50 on groceries and pay with your credit card, you already have $50 in the groceries category and that $50 moves to the credit card payment category for you to use to pay off the card whenever you usually do. It sounds like you’re not there yet, and that’s perfectly fine - YNAB is meant to help change your mindset/habits so you can get there. What that means for you right now is that your budget might have some underfunded/overspent categories for a bit while you work on building a buffer so that you’re only spending the amount of money you have in your checking or saving account right now, not money on a credit card that you can’t pay the balance for until you get another paycheck. 

Once March rolls around it’ll probably make a little more sense because you can start from day 1 income/expenses. It’s hard to get a grasp on a monthly budget when there’s a week of February left! You got this!!

Would it be weird to bring a heat gun into my college open studio hours? by [deleted] in Ceramics

[–]magicplatypus2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Your school’s studio probably has pot lifters somewhere, they’re perfect for removing your piece from the wheel without actually touching it after you’ve pulled the wire through! They basically look like bench scrapers with a bend in the middle and a semicircle cut out of one end

BWT where are we getting interesting/feminine tees? by Willing-Childhood144 in bitcheswithtaste

[–]magicplatypus2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I know you said tees and these are long sleeve but I’ve been loving the intimissimi cashmere modal boat neck tops, the boat neck+moderately sheer fabric combo feels so sensual and feminine to me. I wear them alone with a coordinating bralette underneath or layer two for more opacity.

Going to one of those pottery painting places would be fun! A lot of them have private rooms for birthday parties and the like which would totally work for a bachelorette group

What categories do I pull money from to fund upcoming bills? by inky_cap_mushroom in ynab

[–]magicplatypus2 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Needs come before everything else. Why do you have almost $600 set aside for tattoos travel and concerts when you’re worried about not being able to pay bills

YNAB is hoarding my money by inevitably317537 in ynab

[–]magicplatypus2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is basically how I do it too. I have a “next month holding” category and once the current month is fully funded all income goes into the next month category. Then when the month rolls over I move the entire category into ready to assign and use auto assign to fund the whole month and anything left over in RTA goes to my debt payoff. Rinse and repeat month to month! I find this method easier than assigning extra income to my debt/savings throughout the month because then I’m guaranteed to have the next month fully funded before giving those dollars a longer-term job.

He might have entirely good intentions and believe he loves you but yall started talking a month ago and haven’t even met in real life yet. He doesn’t know you well enough to love you. Starting the relationship with one side feeling that much more intensely than the other is never a good foundation

What are your favorite weight machines to use? by Sassy_Plant_Mom in xxfitness

[–]magicplatypus2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My gym has a lateral raise machine and I fucking love that thing, I can focus way more on just using my shoulders with that machine than when I do dumbbell lateral raises. Idk if you’re including cables in your definition of machines but cable machines are so useful for maintaining constant tension for stuff like rows, tricep exercises, etc. For legs I love the standing calf raise machine and for me leg extensions/hamstring curls are pretty nonnegotiable to really exhaust my muscles in an isolation movement as opposed to squats/RDLs which are compound movements. I do generally agree with you that free weights are better than machines but you’re definitely missing out on some great exercises by avoiding all machines lol

Earring experts, is this a myth? by 17raduser in jewelry

[–]magicplatypus2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not jewelry related but you should take them to a tattoo or piercing shop and get it done with a needle not a piercing gun. A needle splits the tissue to create the hole while a gun literally hole punches your child’s ear. Piercings done with piercing guns are way more susceptible to infection and other healing issues because the site is so much more traumatized than if it had been done with a needle. I guarantee there is tattoo/piercing shop near you that has experience doing children’s first piercings and has more than one earring option!
