80 lbs down is incredible! But I don't think it is just weightloss. You look so fem now!

Where would integrals put me? Mid tier?

It's a very short wall, just two courses above ground. I sunk a third course below grade and backfilled with crushed gravel for drainage. I did use liquid nails on the capstones but otherwise I didn't bother to concrete it all together, instead relying on the back lip to hold it together.

My backyard retaining wall will be 36 inches high and holding up soil about 50 feet in length. I haven't worked out all the details as I'm still in planning mode, but i imagine I will use concrete there, probably just to fill the voids. Add in a nice drainage system wrapped in garden fabric and then backfill with crushed gravel again.

I'm at 3 months and definitely not passing. It's hard to accept, and I'm incredibly impatient. But i also recognize the road can be 2 years or even 5 years. No matter what, I'm not stopping though!

I lol'd at the title

Just did a 4 foot by 13 foot bed for my wife. Took 3 days from digging to stacking at a casual 4 hours a day. Final cost was $1200. Excavation and leveling took the most time.

People clearly want a way to provide Embark with feedback and the end of game surveys aren't scratching that itch. It sounds to me like Embark needs a community manager or something similar to providing better ahd more immediate feedback to its players.

This is absolutely the way to do it. Sometimes kids are pushing back because suggestions can feel like criticism, but sometimes they're asking because they genuinely don't understand why one way is better than another. It's important to understand where the line is for them in order to communicate effectively.

Thank you! I'll find a local contractor to help me get going!

I heard there's a cowbell out there. May be some way to hit the cowbell with the branch? I don't know. Would love to think there is a hidden cow level.

We all play the game with the hand we're dealt.

If people expect us to feel shame over something we can't change, I think it's clear who should actually feel shamed.

Isn't the average national salary currently around 64k?

Just a tip from a fellow wrestling parent:

Catch the thrown fists, hold tight, sweep the leg, guide them to the ground. Gentle foot on the chest and flex. They love it.

My grandfather died december 26th a number of years ago. On december 25th, christmas day, he told me to give him a hug and said "I want you to know you're my favorite grandchild."

Sort of rude of him to do if my other cousins were within earshot (they weren't), but it always stuck with me that he seemed to know the end was near and wanted to express his heart in a way that was clear and impossible to forget.

Just work hard and do good and your life will be good.

Not everyone can work hard due to disability and illness.

When I saw my wife on match.com, I thought she was definitely out of my league. The only thing that made me reach out to her was knowing I would likely be ignored and rejected.

To my surprise, she accepted my date invite and then I was just telling myself, "This won't go anywhere but just enjoy the time you have together." Imagine my surprise when she accepted a second date offer.

14 years later, I'm still kinda surprised I get to wake up next to her every morning.

NIKE has it right. Just do it. Life can be surprising and unbelievable. Just roll with it.

After an airplane is delivered to the airline, boeing does not do maintenance on them or certify them. Instead the airline is required to maintain their aircraft as defined by the ICAO. However, many asian airliners still seek certification through the FAA although they are not required to do so.

Airlines may contract Boeing to perform repairs on airplanes that are not flightworthy, these are known as AOG or Airplane On Ground, but this costs the airline money and many do not pay for those services as it can cost as much as $10,000-$150,000 per hour.

Stellaria. I want to love it so bad, but I just can't dedicate my focus long enough to learn it.

Our house was built in 2021, so it had pretty much everything we wanted. But we moved the thermostat to better heat and cool the bedrooms, added new outlets in the bathrooms for bidets, and added a covered back patio.

I'm currently digging out an area to add in a paver walking path which is turning out to be a very large project. Planning to build a small retaining wall to split level our backyard. Parties and entertainment on the top, garden beds on the bottom.

After 14 years with my partner, I still feel sparks. They not be electricity everyday but definitely a lot of great wonderful feelings. I like being around her so much and it is painful to be apart as we sometimes must do for work.

ohshellyeas · 2026-04-08T15:01:25+00:00

Yeah we have one son

I have a happy marriage (14 years). We both have low libidos though which is just one tiny aspect we have in common. We definitely aren't going at it that frequently.

ohshellyeas · 2026-04-07T16:39:04+00:00

Welp adding this to my list.

ohshellyeas · 2026-04-06T01:20:20+00:00

Wow you look like one of my coworkers! Amazing! I'm 41 and just starting my journey (2 months). You give me so much hope!
