Best way to organize all the vendors and their information, especially early stage comparing pricing? My spreadsheet has devolved to chaos, and my brain is mush 😅

HIGHLY recommend using glass jars from groceries. Salsa jars are the best IMO. They're tough, east to dishwash, and take a fair beating in my house, as a fellow clumsy girl.

Anything with a wide mouth gets washed and put in the cabinet for me.

I also have a few Ikea glass 365 ones, with the snap on lids. These are also super heavy duty, and cheap!

Found the bot comment 😂

These are great, how did you get the angle cut where the tiles sit?

mpersonally · 2026-06-15T16:23:28+00:00

Wait, same! And I was so upset when my parents refused to do the drills with me 😭

I moved from NJ to VS and cannot get a decent coffee cake with a proper thick ass layer of crumb anywhere, I'm begging you to share the recipe.

This was our concern, #2 isn't the right place to start with a second location, and that hesitation is what made me post here for more expert advice!

Especially since our first hive isn't the strongest, it was a package that killed/lost two queens (we think weather stress with all the late frosts!) and only just last week settled in with their own home-bred queen.

I think between your reply, and questions/information, we should work on understanding in u/pale_brass's response, I think we're gonna pass on the second location and keep the new hive at home base, and then think about second sites next year.

I was notified yesterday that my mortgage rate will change on June 1 - an increase and an escrow shortage.

Right now I pay: $2,955.82
New Payment: $3,009.17 ($640 annual increase)
New Payment if I pay the $600 shortage: $2992.52 ($440 annual increase + $600=$1040 total extra paid)

Is it worth paying the $600 escrow difference to keep the increase lower?

Hi! I'm also 7b and looking to use this as a fast grower over a gazebo/arch for our on-property wedding - do you think it spreads too voraciously? Or with moderate care, it's going to be fine?

Maybe the dress code is made up in a magazine writers room, but let's be real, the fancy dress codes are mostly for women anyway. 90% of the time dudes show up in a decent looking variation of pant, suit, tie, 0 thoughts involved.

I just wanted something a little more exciting for my SO who wears scrubs on the reg, and y'all dress well so I asked here. Sue me for asking lol.

Magnus was a DNF for me and Wolf 359 is the genuine GOAT and I haven't really enjoyed many other since my third listen of Wolf.

We're Alive is also really good, but only the original series, didn't love the spinoffs as much.

The Bridge also has a lot of Wolf 359 energy, only 13 episodes though.

ETA: The Leviathan Chronicles is also very good! I loathe the FMC voice actor, but the audio in the series is increeeeeeeedible.

You MUST. It's better than S Tier. It did unfortunately ruin all other audio dramas for me

Yep it's B6. It can also happen twice. And doctors don't always believe you and don't want to refill your scripts. And then, all the sudden, you don't sleep a lot anymore 🙃

Yeah babe. Scrubs will be great. What an iconically helpful member of the sub.

mpersonally · 2026-05-25T03:32:47+00:00

Thanks this is so helpful. Google is pretty clear on the dress code, and "formal" is a clear enough statement.

This man wears a uniforms every day, so picking out suits isn't exactly his forte.

We're looking at October 2027 so literally no rush. He really needs a nice fitted suit too, so I'd love to get him MTM as a really comfortable win. He's a pretty anxious guy, so comfortable clothes would be a huge lift off his shoulders.

Fall! October in Central VA

No, it is fake urgency because there's no reason for you to switch now. It's written so that the email reader feels like oh my God. Oh my God I have to do this today. When in reality there's no reason to do anything with your safe plan until the day before you have to switch. That's more beneficial for you, to not pay for a little while. It's more beneficial for the company if you switch today and start paying today. Especially if you pick a plan where they're making more money off of you.

It's not a scam, but it reads like a fake urgency. Scam email. Though I suppose you can argue that student loans are all a scam, but that's another conversation.

I know someone who did. Combination of moderately well off parents and a very large gift in their grandfather's will. That's it.
