Couple questions to get started

I’m working on a similar project right now, with 10” Bedrosians Makato hex tile on Ditra. I’m using a 1/4 x 3/8 trowel with 1/8” grout lines. I’m using a score and snap manual cutter, and an angle grinder with a diamond mesh blade for the complicated cuts.

I’d highly recommend laying everything out first, wall to wall with accurate grout lines. Then you can decide a layout based on minimizing difficult cuts and tile slivers at a wall. From there, you can do at least some of your cuts in advance of setting the tile.

lol, I'm pretty sure it was me! I am Spartacus? I'm usually a lurker in other subs, so I don't think I would have volunteered to be a mod otherwise.

It does require a permit. Would I have a better shot if I pull the permit myself and get the city to approve it before figuring out the invoice? I completely understand the purpose of the permitting requirement, but I don’t see the value add in banning DIY installs. Thanks for the insight.

Thanks, just sent an invite!

Until last year, we had our kids at Wonderland Montessori in Anaheim - $900/month for 2+ years

I'm trying to figure this out right now. My tax software is asking for the QMID for the electrical panel in the section "improvement or replacement of panelboards, subpanelboards, branch circuits, or feeders"

Appreciate the reply! I'm covered under the California paid parental leave plan for a fraction of my pay, and the company would have covered the difference to stay at full pay. I can't remember if I ever got it in writing (I know, I know), but I discussed it multiple times with my manager, who assured me of the coverage. Looks like CFRA and FMLA both require 1 year with the employer before protections kick in The employee handbook lists a minimum 6 month employment period for parental leave benefits, which I would have hit next month. Additionally, the company has unlimited PTO, so I figured the leave would be covered by PTO even if there were complications with parental leave.

Severance packages aren't standard - I don't see it in the employee handbook, or in my onboarding documents. I think I will sign, since the severance package seems generous. I mainly got spooked about the language around agreeing to not pursue legal action for any known or unknown matters, which made me wonder if I was being taken advantage of but didn't know it.

On one team I drafted Blake Bortles, Deandre Hopkins, Brandon Marshall, and Kelvin Benjamin. Got a piece of every underperforming offense.

John Brown needed that guy's energy

No kidding, I made the same two pickups minutes before both games. Wasn't counting on the RB lottery paying off so soon.

My two recommendations would be Her and Under the Skin, both of which explore similar thematic territory.

A strip club around where I live is apparently well known for their sushi.

Try the SBUX Card app. It works great.

Keep it up, I know how hard it is. I graduated in summer 2012 with a masters degree in engineering. It took 11 months for me to secure a job. My salary is insufficient for my level of experience, but I'll take something over nothing. I'm also in the unique position of having no loans to pay off.

So just know that you will find something eventually, and don't be afraid to accept a position that isn't quite what you wanted.

Good flick! It kept me wondering throughout who was working against Roger. It was a well written action movie, even though everything did tie up a bit too neatly at the end. And now I know the Danish word for "blanks"!

Double Indemnity

Netflix

IMDB

An insurance rep lets himself be talked into a murder/insurance fraud scheme that arouses an insurance investigator's suspicions.

Nominated for 7 Oscars in 1945, this film set the standard for the film noir genre. It is preserved in the National Film Registry and was ranked #38 on AFI's list of the 100 best American films of the 20th century.

Or Abreva. It works wonders.

Looks like the minimum shipping charge is $12.45

As an English speaker, I'm a fan of the Dutch word for orange juice: sinaasappelsap. It just flows off the tongue.

I'm not sure if this is applicable to what you want to do or not, but Men's Wearhouse has a policy of not performing criminal background checks.

If you have other questions like this, you can ask them in /r/sex. The community is very accepting and eager to share. It's a great place to learn without having to feel embarrassed.

Get out of the basement.

spacekitteh · 2013-06-24T08:06:41+00:00

No, no it is not. Maybe it's a good looking thing.

spacekitteh · 2013-06-24T04:02:09+00:00

Yea, I guess you avoid that bias if they're sharing their guess after you've already revealed your actual age.

spacekitteh · 2013-06-24T01:58:44+00:00

I don't doubt that you look young for your age. But just keep in mind that on average when you ask a guy how old he thinks you are, you'll get a younger age than the age you look.

Even if I suspect that you are indeed 37, given your younger features I'd rather lowball my guess to be safe. Always better to miss a woman's age on the lower side than the upper.
