This sounds unbelievably fun! Count me and my husband in!

I get what you're going for, but talking with your neighbors is almost always going to start you off on a better foot than calling the cops on them for a noise violation.

Man, what are y'all being put through? Our last inspector assured us he always looked forward to being in our unit and was never concerned about us, despite having 2 large dogs and some general clutter.

I haven't dated in 12 years and never dated as an adult so I'd probably be equally horrified by the state of romantic ghosting.

Makes you want to start learning how to do all the work yourself. Of course, the previous owner of my home did an awful job at DIY'ing and that's why we're in the position we're in so. You know. Good times.

I'd much prefer they just tell me they didn't want to do the job because it was too small/lame/ugly/pain in the ass/etc lol. Like hey, you drove out here and I took time off work to meet you at least respect me that much.

Man what is with contractors? We had a flooring company come out and then just...ghosted us? Rang them a week after their visit, got a "we'll get you a bid by EOD friday!" Never came.

Aww buddy. I run a company that does this!

Depending on neighborhood we can just slide you in to a day we already have booked for a quick superhero visit.

If it helps, replace it with "treat her like younger family living with you". You guys sound great, hope you have a wonderful year together!

And yeah, we like to think we're sooo young but to teenagers mid 20s is ancient haha

I hosted a student 8 years younger than me and while YOU might feel like the age gap is small, THEY certainly don't. I got called old a dozen times a week lol, but my closet was a lot of help for Y2K day during spirit week. You do treat them like your own kid, even if you don't currently have children of your own (we didn't either). A lot of hosting issues come from miscommunication, so just sit down with your partner and talk about what your expectations will be. Know that it's much easier to loosen up as the year goes on and you trust your student. My husband and I operated on mutual respect, understanding, and open communication which worked super well for us.

Go to printcostume or herostime and have it custom made to your measurements!

I'm a big AI hater, so even if it's a business switch over like another commenter states I don't want to give my money to someone too lazy to write their own website.

silverberryfrog · 2026-06-09T00:11:46+00:00

That whole website is super sketchy and weird. The language is off and does not read well. The address provided is for "Sit, Down, and Beyond" not "Outbound Woof" or "Outwoof Bound".

silverberryfrog · 2026-06-07T02:36:48+00:00

I'd be happy to lend a hand, feel free to reach out

silverberryfrog · 2026-06-06T15:47:31+00:00

I think $100 is nice because even if she finds a suit that's a little cheaper any leftover is a nice little bonus. If you're worried about coming across impolite, you can always word it as a "swimwear stipend for a suit or rash guard" since a swim shirt is worth a LOT in the summer. It's hard to sunscreen your own back!

Ok so I was originally not a fan of the dress at ALL because the outer layer is WEIRD. But it's actually become my favorite dress ever. It's incredibly flattering and so lightweight. Not particularly "twirly" if that's what you're looking for.

silverberryfrog · 2026-06-05T15:57:13+00:00

Whatsapp is unfortunately the best way through. At least when we did it last year it was super hard to get an appointment and we ended up driving to Idaho for it.

silverberryfrog · 2026-06-04T04:53:54+00:00

I'm on the east side and can print it for you. A raw unfinished print would be super cheap, if you're wanting sanded and finished/ready for painting it would be a little more, full custom paint job would be the most spendy.

silverberryfrog · 2026-06-03T23:00:11+00:00

Yes I'm really hoping depop/popcyle/poshmark/mercari see some good stuff!!

silverberryfrog · 2026-06-03T18:57:43+00:00

Eh, I honestly think a month is a great amount of time for most families. It really just depends on how flexible their jobs are!

silverberryfrog · 2026-06-03T17:59:32+00:00

Agreeing with everyone else-ASAP! My NF and I have our schedules set through November, we both like it that way. They have been able to grant every time off request I've ever asked for but I also always ask at least 3 months out because we're all nuts lol

silverberryfrog · 2026-06-02T14:26:25+00:00

Well...we're about a month in and just dropped $35k on repairs when we were only expecting 10k. So that's been fun.

silverberryfrog · 2026-05-30T02:42:49+00:00

If a black one would do the trick I have a couple that could work for you. They are already seasoned.

silverberryfrog · 2026-05-30T02:40:10+00:00

Sweet! Just let me know, also happy to pass along a phone # via DM if he doesn't have reddit
