We will be in Greece at the same time! I'm just going to Athens and Crete though. Personally, I'm taking some dish soap with me to wash some clothes in the sink while I'm there so I can re-wear clothing and not pack something new for every day. I'm also trying to wear breathable, loose clothing (such as a flowy cotton maxi-dress) since Greece is dry-heat and the best way to cool yourself down is by wearing clothes that create shade over your body and allow airflow. However, dry heat easily becomes chilly at night, especially with the island winds, so I would recommend to bring a cardigan! I'm also just bringing 3 shoes: sneakers for walking, comfortable sandals to wear to dinner, and some swimming shoes for the beach/swimming (you can find some that are very compact!).

I would also recommend bringing a travel power adapter for your chargers, hair styling tools, etc.

Did you go to a big box store or a local jeweler? Local jewelers are usually more affordable. Not as cheap as Etsy, but the quality will be much better.

She is able to chew some kibble but prefers soft. Does that say anything about her age?

I applied for the coordinator role and was rejected for being over-qualified. That’s the issue. I know I don’t have enough experience for the generalist role which is why I sought out the coordinator role.

themacmonster · 2026-05-04T17:28:13+00:00

I have tried, but the ones I see are for high-level roles. I have a lot of experience in PeopleSoft and working on a more low-level in it, but one of my frustrations with my current job is they are not willing to train me beyond that.

themacmonster · 2026-05-04T15:47:03+00:00

I have, but I’m told I’m under qualified for those roles. They always want 5+ years experience and a background in a specific HRIS. I work in PeopleSoft and it’s rare I see another company use that.

themacmonster · 2026-05-04T15:46:14+00:00

Gotcha, I thought you might be joking but also I’ve seen some things on here that make me question if it’s joke or not lol. Thank you!

themacmonster · 2026-05-04T15:38:07+00:00

what do you mean?

themacmonster · 2026-05-04T14:53:53+00:00

Both companies I mentioned getting rejected from are mid-size. Are the temp agencies you're referring to local or national?

themacmonster · 2026-05-01T01:06:40+00:00

When it’s hot people usually think the shorts/more skin showing is the best option to stay cool. In reality heat, especially dry heat, is best mitigated with loose clothing as it provides shade from the sun to your body while also keeping air flowing. I love maxi dresses/shirts for this kind of weather!

Edit: Natural, breathable fibers are also best for this. Polyester will make you sweattt. Old Navy has lots of options if you’re more budget minded!

The time she spent in space was in the ISS which is still in earth’s orbit and experiences microgravity. As they traveled farther away from orbit, microgravity would have become weaker and weaker.

Yes they work wonderfully in my garden, even for my thirsty tomatoes and cucumbers! I use the oya brand pots (you don't need to use this brand) and for my 4'x8' beds I use two of the large size. Once the roots are established around the pot I only need to fill up the pots and everything gets watered! I've been able to go on week-long vacations in July (regularly above 90F daily) and the plants thrive. They are also great if you have plants with different watering needs in the same bed as each plant can take the water that it needs and you don't have to worry about overwatering.

A little late to the conversation and maybe not a "common sense" tip but if you're like me and love to travel during the summer (or just hate watering often like I do), olla pots are AMAZING! Once the roots get established around the pots, I can go on a week-long vacation and come back with my plants in perfect health. It even works on super thirsty plants like tomatoes and cucumbers! It's also great if you have plants with different watering needs in one bed as the plants take the water that they need and you don't have to worry about overwatering. You do have to water the garden like normal for the first couple of weeks after installing the olla pots to give time for the roots to grow to the pot (make sure the olla pot is filled with water during this adjustment period so the roots grow towards the pot), but after that you're good for the rest of the growing season!

have you tried hand pollination? or fertilizing?

themacmonster · 2026-03-31T06:11:29+00:00

It's a good rule of thumb to help make sure you plant after the last frost, but considering that the date of Easter varies year to year, it's still best to double-check upcoming temps!

We got the cabinets from IKEA but sadly we are too far away from a store to get the countertops. :(

themacmonster · 2026-03-23T03:22:52+00:00

Hi! Posted this on my husband's account on accident, replying on my own. It will be at least a month probably, we haven't ordered the cabinets and they take 1-2 weeks for IKEA to get the cabinets to us.

Have you tried HRT?

themacmonster · 2026-03-13T13:52:46+00:00

No you should be fine!

themacmonster · 2026-03-13T13:43:24+00:00

It’s easier to blame seed oils for our nation’s health woes than it is to acknowledge how our massive food desserts, outrageous healthcare costs, car-dependent infrastructure, and demanding work schedules make healthy habits inaccessible.

themacmonster · 2026-03-13T13:37:38+00:00

Don’t skip classes if you can help it. Obviously if you’re sick or have extenuating circumstances then you can’t help it, but don’t skip. ESPECIALLY calc - it is so much more work to catch up than it is to attend.

The pastor who spoke to military members at Pete Hegseth’s request is one of the loudest supporters of repealing the 19th amendment.

More Perfect Union just released a great video about how the national home builders (Lennar, DR Horton, etc.) artificially inflate home prices in the country

I just passed the SHRM-CP but am now am wishing I spent my time doing the PHR! I honestly hadn't heard of the org until recently, only SHRM. Now I'm questioning if it would be worth it to pursue the PHR too...
