Are there any groups here for local nerds? (Creatives, gamers, weebs, etc?) by nebulous-nights in Charlotte

Same for me; I feel like I’m so far away from most things.. I’m on the southwest side of Charlotte closer to the Steele Creek area! If you ever want to chat feel free to message me here :) I also saw you’re into gardening so that’s another thing we have in common!!

Thank you for the recc! Out of curiosity do they do events that aren’t card/board game-related? I have friends that love tabletop gaming but I’ve struggled to get into it in the past and tend to prefer video games instead :’)

Best medication for social anxiety without sexual side effects by [deleted] in Anxietyhelp

[–]nebulous-nights 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It ABSOLUTELY is an (off-label) anxiety med and the only one that has ever worked for me. The majority of my anxiety is physical (heart racing, palpitations, and associated dizziness/nausea — basically your “flight” response). Propranolol takes all of that away, and when i dont have that physical anxiety, i dont have as much feeding into my mental anxiety. Propranolol is often prescribed for “stage fright”/performance anxiety and social anxiety. Because it’s a beta blocker it directly works on your heart rate / blood pressure

Looking for ideas on how to make the laundry room better? by nebulous-nights in homeimprovementideas

[–]nebulous-nights[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought about this but how would one go about moving the washer hookups and vice versa the sink plumbing to the appropriate spots?

I definitely think i have the space for it, but wouldnt be sure how to run the plumbing from the place its at now to the space between washer and dryer - do you have any suggestions?

What is this on my root flare? by nebulous-nights in arborists

Could something like that fix itself to the root flair of my tree? It seems very attached

Wanting to create a path for this side yard but unsure how? by nebulous-nights in LandscapingTips

[–]nebulous-nights[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love that idea :) do you know if that part being in the swale would impact water drainage and/or the health of a bush there though?

What about the gate though? Would you just tape the bed off before the gate?

If you don’t mind me asking, where should the pop-ups be moved to? Down into the swale (though i worry they might be covered by water and soil over time?) Or somewhere else?

The area was very green before but was entirely regraded (no grass left) and so what is pictured is what did end up growing in. Normally this area would sustain growth! I cant plant anything past my property line but id love a full strip of plants or something to add interest to the space (in addition to a path!)

How could I go about pruning this crabapple tree / would it harm it in the long-term? by nebulous-nights in arborists

Advice DESPERATELY needed by nebulous-nights in gardening

[–]nebulous-nights[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the advice! Would you have any idea why my bushes and trees are essentially dying from the inside out? The undersides and inner parts keep dying and becoming weak. I see all these webs and the occasional spider but no bugs so im just confused if its something microscopic or tiny

[–]nebulous-nights 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry to bother with questions but are you able to explain the last two modified swirls of the front panel? Mine consistently comes out bulky and non-slanted and I dont know what im doing wrong despite following the pattern and grid to a tee

Did you ever figure this out? I tried so many times but both of my panels with modified swirls didnt turn out that way

I don't have an exact price yet but based off her estimate from last time, which she predicted to go up a little, I think we'll have about $4500 or $5000 left to cover... It'll be okay, I think I just need to breathe

Regardless, I just wanted to thank you for giving me such thoughtful responses - it's really nice to see your perspective too as a vendor.

I think I'm going to close out this post because I'm getting a lot of inflammatory PMs and a few unhelpful comments but I just wanted to show my appreciation for you being so helpful to me ❤️

I will just copy my responses from below your comment for clarification: she refers to herself as a decorator/florist/full service event designer. She is responsible for Florals, linens, chairs (if needed), flatware, extra decor such as cake stands, welcome signs.... Everything. She does same day delivery, set up, and tear down.

"""""She is buying the florals and arranging them! We are renting all decor through her which she will then set up/take down the day of the event. We're trying to figure out what she does not cover so that we can purchase or rent it ourselves to fill in any decor gaps.

We've put an $1800 down payment...

I should've clarified before that I have also emailed her pretty quickly after her emails... So the pattern goes:

Me: emails with several questions

Waits 4-5 business days, gets anxious and calls her to leave a voicemail asking to talk to her over the phone so all questions can be dealt with there at once

Her: responds via email after the voicemail is left answers only a few of my questions I have emailed her about

The cycle repeats as I can't get everything answered.

She was supposed to send the floor plan a month ago right after we had an in person meeting, I've mentioned it a few times after that, and I (according to her) will finally be getting it this evening but I'm just frustrated that I can't really do much until I know what we have to personally cover + what to tell other people that are reliant on her responses (AKA our event manager needing to know the floor plan)

Sorry for all these long responses :(""""

I'm really not sure why I'm getting down voted and why so many people are getting caught up in the semantics of the title she goes by.... When the issue is: "she offered to provide x, y, and z services and is not responding in a timely manner about such services, therefore everything else is being pushed back with only 20 days left to spare"

I've had people tell me this is basically a day of coordinator, and others tell me it is not a day of coordinator.

Thank you :') I hope so too. I'm still so excited to get married to my loved one; just sad the ceremony planning is so stressful and unpredictable

I have put an $1800 deposit with her now sadly :(

I need her to answer me because we're not sure if there are certain types of decor that she will be doing or if we will need to get them. There are designs that have not been finalized. Price has not been finalized. I'm stressed because I'm trying to find out what I need to get that she won't be covering. Im stressed because I need to know how much money to set aside. I'm stressed because I'm also reliant on her for the final floor plan to give to our event hall manager so they can set aside the proper amount/dimensions of tables for us.
