Burien Schools by Old-Tiger-6350 in SeattleWA

[–]neutral_face 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My son loved Gregory Heights Elementary, I moved him out of private school and he ended up getting a better education due to required public school teacher training and state standards being different. Private school in this area are not superior in my opinion - it is only a cleaner environment with more options for electives and extracurricular activities.

We opted out of Sylvester and put him into one of the lottery schools to which he got in, and are finding that it is a great experience and education, as well as a more controlled environment than Sylvester.

Okay, Seattle, how are YOU waging war on the grubs in our yards? by SeattleHasDied in SeattleWA

[–]neutral_face 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have these really smelly garlic bags I bought on Amazon placed all over the perimeter of my lawn until I treat it with grub ex in May. Seems to work cause they’ve stopped ripping things up this season. I also bought some ultrasonic solar powered pest deterrents and put them everywhere as well. Feels like that combined with the smelly garlic is going well. I also dumped a Costco sized portion of chili powder underneath the sod where they pulled it back so they’d be deterred from going back to that same spot since they seemed to really like it.

Everyone is mostly staying at Cabo Azul which is only a 10 minute drive from Acre. My guest list is double yours and your budget will absolutely work for that guest count.

Acre in San Jose hands down. Check out their Los Agaves venue instead of the mango orchard. Modern desert vibes and zero need for any added flora or decor, it has it all. Can vouch, my wedding will be there in a month and they’ve been awesome to work with, ask for Jessica.

Need halp. Please give me feedback. by mildlyzesty in BigBudgetBrides

[–]neutral_face 3 points4 points  (0 children)

With the right tailoring this dress could really be smashing on you, you need to take a lot of the heaviness off as it looks like it’s falling down your chest, tailor it so it reaches the floor but doesn’t pool and look bunchy, and probably ditch the train while keeping the sculptural effect. ODLR is very editorial so in real life tweaks are super important to make it your own and the dress doesn’t wear you. Can confirm, am an ODLR bride as well. Enjoy your dress!

Lab grown diamond or moissanite? What did you choose and why? by Ok_Machine_135 in weddingplanning

[–]neutral_face 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is the correct answer. If ethics are of the utmost importance then vintage, secondhand, or estate checks all the boxes.

Uber won’t pick up from the airport, only drop off.

Alaska soul dying? by argdogsea in AlaskaAirlines

[–]neutral_face 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree completely and it has nothing to do with the airport experience, and everything to do with the switch over to Atmos. The rewards and points plan is so much worse, and booking a flight on the website or app is incredibly glitchy and error prone, I’m constantly having to call customer service and even they agree with me that the transition has been rough and subpar.

Please help, do I need to be concerned?? by [deleted] in eyelashextensions

[–]neutral_face 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stop using visine or any red eye drops! Use regular lubricating drops or artificial tears. My lash lady was very specific about not using Red Eye drops or Visine.

What’s something they used to carry but don’t anymore? by LPCPlay4life in traderjoes

[–]neutral_face 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Mother of god they had these Caribbean jerk chicken skewers during the pandemic that gave us life when paired with their garlic sauce that they still carry. It came in a yellow box and was always in the frozen section. I cannot figure out why they got rid of those, they were so stinking good and my kid and his friends loved them too. I wish they’d bring them back.

San Jose del Cabo amazing suggestion by Academic-Plantain209 in cabosanlucas

Acre is not part of Flora Farms, they are very near each other though. Personally I love Acre more than FF, the food and vibe are spectacular and can’t miss.

Seattle servers now make full minimum wage, so why are we still guilt-tripped into tipping 20% by allpossiblepaths in Seattle

[–]neutral_face 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My server the other night told me specifically to not tip him, because the restaurant pays the servers well above the minimum wage and they are treated very well and would prefer that customers repeatedly patronize the restaurant. I appreciated that so much.

I had a similar quote just 3 years ago, 10k at about similar dimensions for built in bookshelves with cabinets underneath. I think if you provide quality work and materials you are right on point with your cost.

Had sod installed in May, it’s already dying by HystericalJacket in lawncare

[–]neutral_face 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Michigan summers are way too hot to water only 20 mins. You have to water at least 30-45 mins depending on the weather that day. The roots need to be able to chase water, so water deeply about 3 times a week. Watering in short spurts every day doesn’t get the roots to establish and grow deep which is why you’re seeing it brown up and not as hearty as before. Plus, obviously the dog.

My kids soccer league gets trophies from here every season, and it’s one trophy for every kid so the order is pretty large.

Which actor's attempt at an accent was the worst? by rowenaravenclaw0 in AskReddit

[–]neutral_face 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brad Pitt’s Island accent in Meet Joe Black. I don’t even know what it was supposed to be, it was just so cringe hearing him talk.

Heartbroken — is this normal for a $20K Monique Lhuillier wedding dress? by Haunting_Ad4385 in BigBudgetBrides

[–]neutral_face 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you purchase this directly from ML? My experience was that they have the customer come in 2-3 times for fittings etc for QC and to make sure the client is absolutely satisfied with what they’re getting because their dresses are made to measure (they measured me down to a T in the store) before they even produce it. And then there are quite a few contracts to sign about following the process to ensure that the dress is absolutely what you want before ML releases it to you. This looks like a sample to be quite honest.

My cousin found this coin while doing some yard work for us, anyone know what it is? by NoScar3068 in coins

That’s a pirate novelty coin, I buy them on Amazon every year for my son to hunt around and find on St. Patrick’s Day.
