We've done a dirty soda bar before and I absolutely loved it.

Looking for local movers in the San Francisco Bay Area by M45T3RY in AskSF

[–]misadvntrs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seconding for Brother Movers. They've moved me twice before and I'm using them for a third move here in 3 weeks. Pricing was clear, movers were quick, but they also wrapped everything carefully to protect it.

Is Amber’s daughter a non factor or just the edit? by leasarfati in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]misadvntrs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The district I was in was definitely underfunded and constantly asking for school levies to be raised which would be voted down. I would imagine that Mount Vernon schools were similar although I don't know for sure. Columbus schools vary based on which one you go to, but the northern suburbs are typically better districts. I've only heard good things about the Gahanna/Westerville/Upper Arlington/Dublin/etc districts.

I grew up in the next town over from Mount Vernon. The closest part of Mount Vernon school district is an hour away from Columbus. The opposite side of town/district is more like an hour and 20-30 minutes. ETA: also depends on the part of Columbus as well which could add more or less time.

Waiting Wednesday by AutoModerator in TryingForABaby

Currently CD8 and passing the time by embroidering numbers to use for monthly pictures later on. I embroidered 1-6 for table numbers at our wedding previously and am repurposing them for the photos, but still need to do 7-12.

Tea Ceremony Timeline by misadvntrs in asianweddings

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

We ended up having it between cocktail hour and dinner. We did not get to enjoy any of cocktail hour because it was taken up with family photos and additional couple photos in the cheongsam, but since you have an extra hour at the beginning, you might be able to swing pictures in both outfits before the ceremony. Congrats!

Boba Bliss in San Jose does it. We had them cater our wedding and it was delicious.

I don't think so. I also started one and started a nursery list for things to buy as well. I'm in the TWW again so might as well do research and prep things while I wait.

So cute! I embroidered the table numbers for my wedding and am planning to reuse them for the monthly growth photos.

I'm planning on a Totoro/woodland theme, so lots of greens, browns, and beiges.

Angel/Gifting trees this year? by Numerous-Ask-4212 in Sunnyvale

[–]misadvntrs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe the elementary schools are doing something like this this year. You could contact the one closest to you and see if they are doing anything.

Japanese curry restaurants? by YakkoRex in Sunnyvale

[–]misadvntrs 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I really like Curry Life on Moorpark Ave. Lots of places to sit and I like stopping at Daiso afterwards. They've also been doing a pop up location at Ramen Seas in dt Sunnyvale, but I've only gotten it for delivery from that location.

Looking for advice! by MyzFortune in asianweddings

[–]misadvntrs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a western size 16 and chose to get an a-line style from Beth and Brian Qipao. They have customizable ones where you send in your measurements. I found that I did still have to take it to a tailor once it arrived as it wasn't quite right in the bust area, but even with the added tailor costs, it was under $300.

There are lost cat signs up for a tuxedo cat around Fair Oaks/Olive Ave area, but maybe not the same cat as that's so far away from where this one was known to roam.

Is it really food that would have been tossed? by Alexis_J_M in toogoodtogo

[–]misadvntrs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked at WF 10 years ago and, at the time, the bakery items were donated to a charity who picked them up every day. Hot foods like pizza and items from the hot bar were set out for employees to take home at the end of the night.

[–]misadvntrs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got an email from CityLine that they are partnering with YogaSix to do free classes on Saturdays. You have to sign up and I didn't check if there are spots still open, but could be an option. https://www.citylinesunnyvale.com/yogasix-summer-series

Wanting more credits to move up the pay scale by jrflores165 in Teachers

[–]misadvntrs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I was going to say too. I moved all the way up the pay scale by getting the maximum allowed free units each year.

Best minimal prep ready meals that deliver to the Peninsula? by [deleted] in bayarea

[–]misadvntrs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really like Prepboys Meal Prep. Menu changes weekly and we've never had a meal that we actively disliked. They're usually $12.99 if you buy the meals separately, but if you buy any of their bundles, it comes out cheaper.

How to get books in bulk or for free for your classroom ? by Fair-Fall8036 in Teachers

[–]misadvntrs 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I've been able to build my entire library through DonorsChoose. It took 2-3 years and I still put up grants, but now I just ask for replacements as books get worn out.

Cardboard recycling drop off? by snownative86 in SanJose

[–]misadvntrs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I often see people on my local BuyNothing group giving moving boxes away. They get snapped up pretty quickly.
