We are both in our early to mid twenties. Been married a while. Husband has a decent career going (military, this will be important later) and we are both almost done with school. Since we have managed to pay off our car, avoid student loans, and even put money into a Thrift Savings Plan we are in a decent place financially. We even put away a few thousand for a down payment on a house.

 

So about this house. We are planning on buying a house in the 150,000 range with a down payment as high as we can get it, likely around 12,000 on the high end. We should be able to manage an APR of less than 5% because we are in good standing with our bank. Husband is in a slight fantasy w

I have been around in this community for a while but I am still at a complete loss about what shape I should be looking for. Originally I followed the fullness scale and found I was a little bit full on bottom. But then someone suggested that perhaps since I have had weight loss it was actually pendulousness that was masquerading as full on bottom. I also looked around and found the root scale. I can certainly feel breast tissue ending slightly into my arm pit but I think that could be due to migration and not a natural occurrence. As for whether or not I am tall or short rooted...I think tall but maybe that is just beca

Hello! I've been using vapes for like 4 or 5 years now but I never really bothered to get into the technical side of things. I always just troll reddit and find a good recommendation for what I'm looking for at the time to replace my old set ups. The last time I did this I was looking for a tank that give good mouth to lung hits because that is the way I smoke. I ended up buying the eVic VTwo with its accompanying tank. This is the first time I've used a sub ohm set up and so I followed the recommendations and dropped my liquid down to 6mg.

My problem is that on 6mg I have to smoke all damn day long to feel satisfied. It's really humid where I live and I've been coughing and hackin

I've been looking for an address to ship these supplies to. I would just pack them all in the car and drive them out but sadly I am currently stationed overseas in Italy due to my husband's enlistment. So anyone got an address?

I mean I don't know what I'll be able to afford with shipping but I'll send what I can if it's wanted. Dried food goods (beans, rice), medical supplies (unopened and clean), all weather outdoors gear, etc..

Is there a place to send these things? Are these even wanted?

I checked around and I think this is the most appropriate place to ask this question. If not, please let me know and I'll move to somewhere else.

I AM NOT LIGHTING MY TREE ON FIRE.

I am in an unfortunate situation that requires me to plan weeks and weeks ahead to order supplies in for anything I want done. I was hoping to have an elemental themed tree this year. So earth, air, water, and fire. Earth, air, and water are all going swimmingly. However fire presents an interesting issue.

I was thinking of ordering some smaller taper candles, like 4 inches tall, and using glitters around the top to make them appear 'lit' when they hang on the tree. But I don't know if that will even look de

[Book] Looking for a different perspective on continued sobriety.

Hello everyone!

I am more than a year sober now. I went to inpatient treatment for 28 days and then went to AA twice weekly to maintain my sobriety. The issue is, I'm finding less and less of myself in the rooms. I know that I was a mess. I know I can't ever drink responsibly. I don't want to ever drink again for that matter. But I made it through the first 4 or 5 steps and now I'm flagging. I understand the importance of the other steps. I'm not afraid of doing them. Actually right at this moment my only option to continue the 12 steps through AA is to find a

Hello everyone!

Actually right at this moment my only option to continue the 12 steps through AA is to find a sponsor online to help me through the last of them.

Really though the problem is, I don't think I want to continue with AA. I like

Apparently I'm insane. I poured some BBQ sauce on my trays, after spraying then with oil, I spread it out and I put it on at 135 degrees with some cabbage. The cabbage is long done. So I emptied those trays and put then back in the mix empty. But my BBQ sauce is still sticky when I touch it. What am I looking for? Is this as dry as it gets? I made fruit leathers a few days ago and was told that tomato sauces should dry up like fruit leathers. Well there is no comparison here. So do I crank the heat up? What do I do? Should I try letting it cool and see if it stiffens up? Please help!

$400-$800+ my monthly shopping budget is $400 so if I go 2 months of saving that's $800. I'm willing to go higher if there's something that would be very desirable for me. I live in Italy right now, but I expect to be back in the USA withing the next year so there's no reason not to buy an American laptop. The power supply being American would be preferable.

  • Do you prefer a 2 in 1 form factor, good battery life or best specifications to your requirements for the money? Pick or include any that apply.

All would be good. I draw on my tablet right now. It would be nice to be able to draw on my new laptop as well. But, as I already have a tablet to draw on it isn't a high priori

r/Hair•

I've got thick, wavy hair and I use it's a 10 after a shower before I brush it out. It's a bit expensive though. I mean it isn't bad or out of the question for me budget wise but I was wondering if anyone knows of a cheaper product that I can try out.

Anyone got some thoughts?

Hello!

This is my third time going through all of this due to weight losses. I think I'm finally at my finished size. I might get a little smaller in the chest as I work out more but I'm ok with buying in the current size for now.

I accidentally fit my smaller breast instead of the larger so that's why I'm ok with keeping my current bra size for the long run (god I hope so).

EDIT: I just redid my measurements at your suggestion and I was sized down in the band again to 30E.

Underbust: 32.5 Tight underbust: 29 Standing bust: 36 Leaning bust: 39 Lying bust: 36

EDIT: I just looked at the shape picture again and I think I'm a 2/5 or a 2/6. I don't have any curve either way on top. But on

Hey guys! I'm looking to make some various chocolate soaps, meaning they smell of and use chocolate and chocolate ingredients kind of deal.

I'm hoping to get away with a 25% coconut oil 5-10% cocoa butter 5-10% almond oil? And that's around where I get a bit lost. I want it white so no or little olive oil. I also don't want to have to order too many special ingredients but what I've got is limited.

I have: olive, coconut, peanut, canola, crisco, some argan, some sesame, and...I think that's it. My local stores don't sell cocoa butter so I'll have to order that. So I'll be making at least one order for this soap.

Eventually I'd like to make chocolate bars, coconut bars, and cake soaps with

Can I make an approved recipe now, freeze it, and then can it later?

My orange harvest came in and I'm drowning in them. I'm making a double batch of marmalade tonight. I have enough jars for this. But I still have like 20 pounds of oranges to process. Can I make the marmalade all the way up to the boil it until it sheets step and then freeze it. Then when more jars come in (I'm in Italy and I have to order my jars from the US) can I put the frozen marmalade into my pots and boil until sheeting, then fill and process? Is this ok? I can't see any reason why this wouldn't be ok but I just wanted to draw upon your wealth of knowledge to be sure.

I'm selling my marmalade so it would be nice if
