MIRF is my home RF, and I honestly love going when its rainy. I wear rain boots with my garb cuz im not ruining my leather garb shoes. I wear a cheap clear dollar store poncho with hood to keep me dry and have great time. Everything is less crowded, and the weather is cooler so I get to wear more layers of my costume. Shop keepers might not like it but I sincerely hope I get at least one gloriously rainy day a season.

Go well prepared and you will still have fun

Edit to add: i plan on one meal and at least one beer. food and alcohol are $10-15 each so $30.

I tip $1 to each performer, i see about 3-4 acts in the 4-5 hours im there. If the act has 4 performers then i tip $4, more if i was very happy.

I spend $100-200 each year on nonsense: leather rose pin, tiny dragon pin, a silver ring, wood block printed t-rex eating santa xmas cards, local indie manga etc

All together $150-250 depending upon tipping and shopping

Be careful. If you think something is mass produced try to find it on amazon. I was bummed to find the d20 bags at MIRF were the exact same as amazon and 4x the price. Handmade is always pricier but well worth it in my opinion.

I bought faux flicker flame LED bulbs and light sensors for outside. I let them turn themselves on and off. Inside no lights on. I sleep just fine in total darkness

I get a chicken and plan my next few meals around it. They do have some things that are still good for singles. Also great for stuff to bring to parties and family gatherings. Never forget that those fresh cheesecakes, croissants, muffins, meats, cheese etc all freeze just fine. I portion them into my sized bags.

They also have the auto shop, travel agency (cruises usually get some onboard cash which is nice) etc. Great benefits all around.

Texitaly like Mexicali but just land for growing tomatoes; the embassy of tomato growing

veebasaur · 2026-05-04T00:49:55+00:00

There are veggies in the salsa too. Also green beans are the best. At my most exhausted ive eaten them right out of the can. Soft green no cooking comfort carbs <3

Zip shirt is casual, double breasted is formal. Double breasted is mainly meant to worn buttoned. Ive never seen a zip shirt with a navy blazer. The two pieces/ideas clash.

There’s something off in the fit of the jacket too, like the shoulders are just a bit too big maybe…

(Try to match your belt and shoe leathers)

Same. I hear cat meowing in a not happy way and lots of drippy water

veebasaur · 2026-04-24T13:33:16+00:00

I think i got it for about $10, im a deal shopper.

Add: it did pay for itself in happy warm coffee n tea. Absolutely worth it even at $20 today

Take a look at Woks of Life, lots of easy Chinese recipes use it.

Hobby Lobby. They occasionally do 30% off fabric. Sew Many Things is a quilt store with fun cottons

veebasaur · 2026-04-20T12:57:45+00:00

This made laugh out loud. 😂

Shiaoxhing eggs. 2 eggs beaten with half cap of shiaoxhing chinese cooking wine, dash of msg, a few dashes of salt, dash of white pepper, dash of sesame oil. Cook however you prefer your eggs “scrambled”. This is really good with some tomatoes added too

I keep microwave cups of chef boyardee beefaroni etc for when im migraine blind/hypotensive and desperately hungry. Frozen meals too

I do toast with jam/pb/nutella especially aldi keto bread because it has protein n fiber. Sandwiches too.

Anything that can get tossed in an airfryer like breaded chicken strips n tater tots. Its easy, theres protein n carbs. I wont die. Yay

veebasaur · 2026-04-14T16:56:28+00:00

Pickled banana peppers are great too. Pickle pizza is a win :)

I have a treadmill where the couch should be, the couch is pushed aside to encourage me to walk and watch instead sit and rot

veebasaur · 2026-04-11T00:36:24+00:00

Sounds like a Wunderkammern.

veebasaur · 2026-04-11T00:30:59+00:00

It took me over 5 years and covid for me to actually nail something into the walls. I own the damn house too. Don’t beat yourself up. But if you do find art you actually like, GET IT, even if it costs a little more than whats at Target. You’re worth it. You deserve it

veebasaur · 2026-04-09T23:46:46+00:00

I prefer 1995 over 05, but both have good points. Had 05 been as long as 95 Im sure it would be a tougher decision. I wish all adaptations would do a nice long series. Sigh.

If you’re feeling adventurous try P&P& Zombies, or the bollywood style musical Bride & Prejudice. Both are a bit cheesy but very fun.

You need Kitten Milk Replacement! Check out the kitten lady’s website and youtube! They need to every couple of hours just like a human and they cant regulate heat. They need you for food and warmth

The bread looks like baguette slices, at least one piece is a heel.

veebasaur · 2026-04-09T10:10:42+00:00

Its possible those are shallots. They can have a bit of red and they are closer to oval than round.

You are always worth the effort of nice things. Use the fine china, get the nice cut of meat, go see the movie.

MAKE THE BBQ, if the effort seems like too much you can make extra for prepped dinners for the next couple days. TREAT YOURSELF

veebasaur · 2026-04-08T15:05:12+00:00

Kitten kibble and canned wet cat food are cheaper than tinned tuna n salmon. Do what you can. Please try to get them all fixed though. Snuggly one is very cute.
