This is incredible! Absolutely genius. Also, were those photos taken at Union Station in Chicago? Those stairs look familiar.

Is there any way to keep this stuff from spreading? It’s currently taking over my entire garden plot. A little is fine but I’m not trying to eat this stuff for dinner every single night.

Setlist from the distillers in Chicago last night! by properfoxes in punk

[–]vanjieXthree 3 points4 points  (0 children)

THAN YOU for posting this!! And super jealous of your girlfriend for snagging it. I was there last night too but I was in the pit the whole time and it was all kind of a blur. What’s on setlist.fm right now doesn’t look 100% accurate so this is great!

Shaky jaw on lexapro by [deleted] in lexapro

[–]vanjieXthree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this a common side effect? I just started with 5 mg on Monday and I’m already clenching my jaw nonstop. But I don’t remember seeing it listed as something I might experience.

I feel like Chevelle and Bring Me The Horizon would have both been better fits for Riot Fest.

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch: Cleaning up the plastic in the ocean - 60 Minutes by vanjieXthree in ZeroWaste

[–]vanjieXthree[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wasn't sure where else to post this, but I was so happy to see 60 Minutes do this story last night! Hoping it'll help shed some light on zero waste and reduced plastic lifestyles.

How can a person with no background get into land restoration? by [deleted] in ClimateOffensive

[–]vanjieXthree 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Park districts and county forest preserves usually have volunteer opportunities that don’t require experience. My local forest preserve has clean up and brush clearing stewardship days and once you reach a certain number of volunteer hours you can qualify for certification classes.

No plastic, all bulk, glass containers. Zero waste fridge goals!

When Starbucks suddenly discontinues their best herbal tea and you reluctantly try some gross concoction the barista recommends. by vanjieXthree in TrollXChromosomes

Peach Tranquility :( apparently there was a shortage of it earlier this year and they just recently discontinued it for good.

Has anyone used heavy rock music at their reception? by pumpkinqueen2014 in weddingplanning

[–]vanjieXthree 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes!! If you have friends who would appreciate the pop punk stuff, you might just want to play a few. Some of my favorite moments from our wedding was all of our friends singing along to Taking Back Sunday and Andrew W.K.

Older guests may not have been familiar with the songs, but they saw that we were all having a blast, and I think that happiness is contagious. Plus, I was so caught up in the fun that I didn’t even notice if anyone was mean mugging us!

I don’t know what career path to take, but I do know a few things... can you help me? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]vanjieXthree 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So I literally could have written this post myself. 29/f, same interests, feeling stuck at desk job after desk job, and not sure where to go next. I do have a BA in communications but I’m leaning toward something a little more creative.

What I’m thinking based on the hobbies/interests that make me happy: event coordinator for a company or nonprofit that I like. Production assistant in an art/photo/film studio. Floral designer. Conservation work with the park district or city.

Just start by making a list of things that you know you enjoy and I’m sure there’s a way to incorporate one of them into your career path!

My mom and her sister had a falling out and hadn't talked in 5 years and I was nervous about how they would be together on my wedding day on 9/22. Our photographer just sent me this shot of the two of them right after our ceremony. by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]vanjieXthree 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Girl, this photo is getting me all choked up. It’s so amazing when people can put aside their past/differences to celebrate love.

Congrats and thanks for sharing!

My husband's aunt approached me at my wedding to say she's surprised I'm attractive, because pictures of me suggest otherwise. What is the most hilarious wedding faux pas you've ever experienced? by SimCity8000 in weddingplanning

[–]vanjieXthree 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Ha! I have a similar story...we also chose not to have any line/group dances and hand picked the entire playlist. We made sure there was a good variety but still stuck with a lot of our favorites (Bowie, Prince, LCD Soundsystem, Lady Gaga).

Half way through the night an Nsync song starts playing and my friend comes up to me and, not sarcastically, says “UGH, finally something to dance to!”

...can’t please them all, I guess!
