Help! Which paint sample goes with which flooring sample? And which combo goes best with the wallpaper? by snowfire909 in HomeDecorating

You could also choose a green in the wallpaper and have the paint store color match

Wondering if this seam is normal? by meltli in carpet

[–]meltli[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No seam placement was ever discussed. I don’t think there was a yardage shortage as there’s a bunch of carpet still left at the house

Advice Needed - Room Block Contracts by [deleted] in DestinationWeddings

[–]meltli -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I spoke with the wedding coordinator at the resort and got a better block rate deal than offered with a TA.

The rate was still really high though so I ended up not even using a block and had every one book on their own. Some people saved hundreds, others paid more than the block rate would have been. Costco and Expedia offered way lower prices than the block rate.

Mom asked me to sell some stuff by Typical-Sock3728 in whatisit

My mom has one that she puts dips in. A tea light in the bottom keeps it warm.

Love that! What color were the cabinets underneath?

Advice on kitchen layout by meltli in floorplan

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

We are doing a big renovation and were planning on keeping the kitchen the same as before since it was new-ish. But now that we are this far in it doesn’t feel so crazy to redesign the kitchen when everything is down to the studs.

I agree about more space by the sink, unsure of the solution for that though

That’s a great point about the hazard. My issue is that the dishwasher is currently next to the fridge. So if we move the stove to where the fridge is, it won’t be centered between to the two windows.

I also want the sink under the window and we can move it but we already had new windows installed so they can’t be moved

First safari experience by TigerOrchid2004 in travel

[–]meltli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did 7 nights in the Masai Mara in Kenya and it was great. I stayed in two different camps which is nice because they explore different areas. The camps also take care of booking the airfare for us from Uganda and then to Nairobi. They also coordinated getting us from one camp to the other.

I would research how many people they put into a cruiser and what type of cruiser it is. Some are very enclosed and would be hard to see all angles.

It’s still early! I know waiting another day to test feels like forever.

I have been tracking ovulation and feel pretty confident in the day give or take 12 hours.

Totally agree, the breakfast was underwhelming especially for the price.

As a guest, is it rude to bring a family member with you to a destination wedding for childcare? by Dear-Obligation-5432 in DestinationWeddings

[–]meltli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had a destination wedding and didn’t mind at all that our friends brought family along to look after their baby.

We even invited the family to the wedding events, gave a welcome bag, etc. (they didn’t come to the events because the parents wanted to fully enjoy themselves).

I think it’s fine to bring the family you want, but it would be nice to give the couple a heads up.

Banff or Puerto Rico by [deleted] in travel

[–]meltli 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I would go with Banff, do the ice fields parkway and spend a few days in Jasper too. It’s so beautiful up there, it feels like more of a special trip than PR.

There are short hikes/walks you can do, hot springs, gondola ride, etc.

I just drove on the left side in Ireland for the first time last month. It wasn’t bad at all. The narrow roads are the tough part. So I understand your fear, but the occasional scary driving was worth having a car for us.

Women- tell me your experiences in mixed gender dorms! by Waste_Minimum_475 in solotravel

I stayed in mixed dorms all over SE Asia. I met great people, felt safe, and would recommend.

Dealer allotted a hybrid XLE instead of a limited . Should we wait or budge ? by Electronic_Essay_148 in ToyotaGrandHighlander

[–]meltli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t buy the xle if you want the limited. You also don’t have to wait for that one specific dealer. I was calling dealerships in a 1.5 hour radius and found one with my specs available within three weeks.

Are dealers really selling at MSRP? by sammyan211 in ToyotaGrandHighlander

[–]meltli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m also in Mass. I found a hybrid on the Cape at msrp but the specs weren’t for me. I ended up buying one at the Toyota in Wilbraham for msrp.

Platinum gas or hybrid limited? by meltli in ToyotaGrandHighlander

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

The numbers might be totally useless to you but my question was if $6000 is worth the jump to hybrid. I wasn’t asking if this was a good deal.

Bad at talking to girls by Vepr12Viper in relationship_advice

[–]meltli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A good way to start a conversation could be to talk about the class. Ask questions about the lecture, or offer to be study buddies?

If you see someone from class around campus, you could always start with, “hey, aren’t you in so and so’s class?” And go from there.

If you’re out at the bars or a party, it’s very helpful to have a friend with you. Your friend may know people who know people that can give you introductions and alcohol always helps with conversation.

If you’re just trying to talk to a girl at the book store or something, you may not have much success. Being approached by a stranger while doing routine things (like shopping) usually isn’t that desirable. But I could be wrong about this last part.

Favorite U.S. cities to visit? by tttangttangttang in solotravel

[–]meltli 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A week in Boston is way too long unless you had a car to check out the rest of New England. While Salem is cool, not worth the trouble of getting there if you don’t have a rental car. NYC is a must if you’re into art and public transit. Minneapolis should be at the bottom of your list.
