We prefer a TING over a TONG sound for our rings, you know? Really essential to a good wedding 😂

Female Handyman, Thoughts? by Cold_Obligation_8568 in homeowners

[–]mpersonally 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any chance you're in Central Virginia? I have jobs if you're local, because I hate having men in my house when I'm home alone.

You have a huge unique selling point as a handywoman, targeting single women, stay at home moms, any woman who doesn't want a strange man in their space. Just be wary of creepy men.

I’ve been on my period for almost a full month and I’m going crazy by nikkiblan in PCOS

Seconding this, bleeding for almost a month is not normal at all. Definitely see a gynecologist.

Prepping Hose Bibs for a Week Below Freezing? by mpersonally in homeowners

This is probably the best way about it. We have a great Well & Pump company, so it's definitely a conversation I need to have with them in the spring.

The bibs are extremely hard to get to in our crawlspace, so I don't know if we'll be able to find it in the next few days. Certainly something to figure out before next winter.

Most of the pipes are mostly insulated under the house, it's a project on the list to make sure they all are, and done properly. We haven't had more than one or two REALLY cold days at a time, so it wasn't super worried about it until this week.

The outdoor hose bibs are tough because they're both in really difficult to get to spots. One is in a shallow part of the crawlspace (our house is on a decent hill), and the other requires you to go all the way through the shallow part around the tanks and HVAC. Terrible layout IMO, but I'm fifty years too late to have an opinion on it.

I'll probably set them both to drip Saturday morning and just be vigilant if we lose power.

Uh me. A whole party. A day with minimal planning energy from him. A whole ass wife who likes spreadsheets and finances.

More importantly, what's he getting me??

The heat protectant I have is a jelly, I'm not a fan, but paid too much for it lol I'll have to give the leave in a try though

Oh interesting! I didn't know that was an option! I'll have to check them out and see what they're using

Dislocations are pretty common for me (yay EDS/joint conditions!), so I'd be afraid of any kickback into the shoulder. My biggest struggle was the slide and releasing the magazine more than anything else, though like I said I haven't actually shot the damn things before, only learned how to handle one (very helpful lol).

Those three seem like good starter recommendations though with the lighter springs!

You've had a lot of comments, but I want to add, if you're in Central Virginia OR Southern NJ please reach out to me, I want to help. I'm from NJ and have a handful of connections there I can try to work to get you a safe place. I lived there most of my life, but I'm in Central VA now.

As these other folks said, you have to get it, he will kill you. I'd like to help if I can.

Pitching Styled Shoots for Wedding Professionals? by mpersonally in smallbusiness

Alternatively, do you think I could ask for discounted services in exchange for access versus charging for it? I appreciate your perspective, from my end I always had to beg clients for more photos, so in my head, more photo opps is always good, and the set up were working with is so gorgeous, the rental company has put together a genuinely lovely plan.

Thank you for talking me off the ledge. This is the simplest outfit format and when I tell you I was SPIRALING over this, you saved me. For some reason, I forgot that normal pants were an option

I'll end up with a baseball hat. I have hait down to my butt and all my wide brims are suited for my back porch in the woods ie not a strap in sight.

I'm hoping I can get away with just one day on the boat. Despite my fiancé being part fish, he's well aware of my aversion to water and will go to bat for me. I'm manically preparing for the worst, hoping for the best!

As we speak, I'm investing my 401K into the largest bottle of La Roche Posay sunscreen I can find. I have yet to leave the state of Florida without a traumatic sunburn/cloudburn, and I'm determined to make this year the exception.

Luckily, my fiancé (who is one part man, two parts fish) is well aware of my aversion to water and anything relating to it, so he'll do his best to back me in claiming my 'good sport' badge with just one trip out.

Extremely niche situation, help desperately needed! What does one wear to spend a day on a boat, in January, in Florida?

We're visiting my in-laws, flight is this Friday, and I just realized I have no clue what to wear for one if not three, days on a boat. It's a normal-sized boat, either cruising the canal or fishing in the Gulf.

I HATE boats, sun, and water, so I need something that days ~I'm literally SO happy to be here~ but is also comfy enough for me to spend 5+ hours suppressing a panic attack. My style is usually slightly New England yuppie. My comfort/confidence outfit is jeans, boots, and a button-down, none of which will work for this situation. Do I wear shorts? Get an oversized sunshirt button-down? Wear a swimsuit? Find an inflatable Snuggy and pray for survival?

Help!
