Yes. I loved crossfit when I did it, but I think the chief DANGER of crossfit is also what makes it powerful: injuring yourself because you’ve gone way beyond the reps or weight you’re capable of and into pain, due to latent group pressure (even when an instructor tells you to scale). You have to have a high knowledge…

I would love to, but my fiancé literally couldn’t give a shit about 99% of the details. His party line is that he knows that he’ll love whatever I come up with because I have such good taste, and I don’t doubt that he feels that way, but I need a lot more than a “they both look nice,” booboo.

Herbs for sure. Fresh herbs cost a lot if you’re buying them at the store to add to a dish (and at $2-3 per package, it’s often prohibitive to use more than one or two kinds). But if you have your own herb garden, you can throw chives or thyme into EVERYTHING. My tips:

nor rinsing them before putting them into the water actually does anything good for you or the dishes.

For what it is worth, I go between short and long hair every few years, and find short hair to be way higher maintenance. Cutting hair every 6 months vs. 6 weeks makes a huge difference. I usually need product on short, but not long hair (I have pretty straight hair). I can't do a pixie, because I have a nevus…

THIS IS FALSE! I have crazy thick hair, that grows quickly and a VERY round face. If I cut my hair short, I would have to go to the stylist every month and since my hair is so thick, I would spend (and have spent when I had short hair) a SUPER long time fucking with it. Long hair allows me to pull my hair back into…

I wouldn't say it's scary, almost a relief. With the amount of fraud going on it's nice to know they have an automated system to flag returns that could indicate a possible fraud before they send a refund out. The computer system probably saves them time overall in not having to roll back fraudulent returns.

I'll agree with you in saying that soil microbial diversity is beneficial to plants as a whole, but in terms of controlling plant pathogens, the solution you proposed is not the most effective one. The basic tenants of integrated pest management are to: decrease the amount of inoculum, make use of resistant varieties,…

Mine (~$30k including rehearsal dinner, honeymoon, etc.) I would say was definitely worth it. It was also basically a family reunion - the first in about 20 years. Everyone had a blast and is still talking about it, 3 years later.

I think he figured it was collateral damage in having a Greek wedding. Our wedding coordinator told us a few months later, that the staff were going to let the guest keep breaking the plates because they'd heard that it was a part of the culture and they shouldn't disrupt him. Thank god he stopped him when he did.

I get what you're saying, I do. But I think Jessica's point was to create just one place where people could share this without getting the "well I picked wildflowers and put them in mason jars and had a $20 wedding in a local park" posts - because they do get obnoxious and make people feel bad for what they chose to…

I like your attitude. It doesn't matter to me what anyone does if it's genuine and a reflection of actual love. We threw our friends' wedding together in 2 weeks for under $400 and it was beautiful.

I specifically created a burner account for this post. Greek girl , only child (as if the name doesn't give it away) - married eldest son in a Greek family. His family paid for the rehearsal dinner of 80 people at a steakhouse in New Orleans. (Backstory: We had a destination wedding in NoLa since I figured Houston…

A steal by Manhattan standards. Someone somewhere else on this thread was able to do a wedding in the 20k-range. I have no idea how you guys were able to keep it so affordable and they both sound like really lovely options.

My wedding hasn't taken place yet, but according to my psychotic 50-tab costs spreadsheet:

Wedding #1

-About $27,000

If blossom end rot is a reoccurring problem for you, it may be a water availability issue. In many cases, the calcium deficiency associated with blossom end rot in tomato is caused by insufficient water availability, even if there is plenty of calcium in the soil.

I'll spritz for the first week-ish, until germination, but from then on its bottom watering. I don't have the hand stamina or time to spritz enough to get the soil properly wet for a seedling.

I would add one more thing. You can't lose weight through exercise alone. I've tried it. And tried it. And tried it. It doesn't work. I might lose 8-10 pounds through exercise alone but weight loss comes down to eating less. Exercise will boost your results but if you can't control what's going into your mouth,…
