Any tips on how to save money on the wedding?




Im getting married at the end of this summer and catering is outrageous here I want a semi-formal wedding…no jeans or tennis shoes but even khaki shorts and polos are fine b/c its an outdoor wedding! I thought about doing mini wraps and sanwiches from subway and a lot of my friends offered to pitch in and help with other stuff like fondue fountain, cheese tray, ect. Another idea was a taco bar b/c its pretty in expensive as well. Any other ideas on how to cut catering costs and flower costs would be great! Also ideas on how to do cheap table arrangments and flowers for the chairs down the isle would be nice!










Rustic Pathways?




Hey, im planning on goin to one of the rustic pathways thailand trips this summer and was wondering if anyone had done one before and how they liked it?







I’m reupholstering the backrest an office chair back but I can’t remove the back plastic cover. I can see that the cover has four posts that look to snap or push fit into mating holes. I tried using pry bars and screwdrivers to force them apart without any luck. Any more force will certainly crack the cover. The part that the upholstery is stapled to and that the back cover also snaps into to is made of plastic. If I were to cut the fabric off and remove the foam pad would the holes that the posts push into be visible? I’m thinking if that’s the case I might be able to drive the posts out with a punch.
Solved- The back has expanding split barb fitting that pass thru holes in the other panel. You can actually feel them move behind the foam. Pinching the two barbs together by hand right thru the foam works but it easiest to cut the old fabric and pull back the foam for access. My barbed fittings were held on with screws which could be unscrewed once the foam was pulled back.

Could he maybe have feelings for me?




And when I say "feelings" i’m referring to an interest, small crush or the makings of a crush.

So a couple of days ago my friend had a party and this cute guy I know was there.
When we first saw each other he smiled and smiled and said hi, then kept walking.
Later on in the night, we kept making eye contact..maybe two or three times. At one point I ended up at the kitchen Island and he was there sitting talking to another girl, while I was playing this drinking games with the others around the island( the island had stools) Then he stopped his conversation with the girl and was watching the game and then he asked who’s mickey(bottle of liquor) was on the counter and it happened to be mine, I responded and then he asked if he could have some I said yes, being the kind…and drunk person that I was, ha ha. Then the girl finally got up and I went and took her place a few minutes later. We started talking and everything and then suddenly( my memory blanks here) we were holding hands fingers interlocked loosely. We sat there for a good 5 minutes with me sometimes putting my head on his shoulder. Then he got up and went to the bathroom and someone had taken his spot so he sat at another table..I confused..do you think that meant anything or was it just drunk happenings? Also me and this guy sometimes make eye contact around school..not often but when we do..I feel something..I just can’t put my finger on it though.

Side notes:

We were tipsy, bordering light drunkenness.

Thanks for your help and honest opinions!

How long should I wait to let my muscles recover?




-Upper Body Workout-
I will be doing 4 sets of push-ups(12-15 reps).
3 sets of bench dips (12-15reps; without the bench just two chairs)
I will do 2 sets of chin-ups(6-10), 2 sets of pull-ups(6-10 reps), and 2 sets of the ones where you palms face each other(6-10 reps).
(I have the pull up bar you put in your door way that allows you to do 3 different types of pull-ups)..

-Legs/Lower body-
4 sets of wall squats(30 seconds), squats(20 reps), and calve raises(until I feel the burn). \

-Abs-
20 Crunches
20 Bent-Knee Hip Raises
20 Leg Tucks
20 Russian Twists
20 Oblique Crunches
(I have thought about breaking these up into 3 days or w/ my workouts but I don’t know yet)

So how long should I wait to workout each one? Like 48 hours for upper body and 24 for lower body and abs? Or what? I have a pretty alright diet and I jump rope for 30 minutes on the days I don’t workout. I am 14(15 next month) 5’10" and 157lbs
So would this schedule work
Monday-Push-ups/Dips
Tuesday-Back/Biceps
Wednesday-Legs

Repeat and take a break Sunday?
(also I would get a mild shoulder workout Monday and Tuesday)

Also I would do cardio on Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday for 30 minutes. It would be jump roping typically.




can you tell me what this is called?




i’m looking for just a somewhat long (3-4 ft), skinny (1-2 ft) kinda tall (4 1/2 ft) table, nothing special-just 4 legs and a top to it, what is it called and where can we find a cheap one? or would it be cheaper just to build one? just something to put by the wall in our kitchen w/ our bar stools we have, basically just wide enough for a plate or to do my homework on




Cleaning off some cat urine from outdoor furniture?

What steps do I need to take to stain reclaimed wood?




I am trying to build a table top from reclaimed barn boards. I want it to look very rustic in the end. It has a fairly rough finish right now, and I would like it to be smooth, but I also don’t want to disrupt any of the natural weathering it has by sanding it. Also, What would be a good stain color to give it that antique harvest table look?
Thanks!




Krysten Ritter movie question?




okay please help i haven’t been able to think of this movie title for over a month. i think Krysten Ritter is in it, or at least a girl who looks a lot like her, she plays the best friend in this romantic comedy. unfortunately i only remember the side story. the best friend has an annoying mocking bird neck to her window that is driving her crazy. eventually she goes to a gun shop. the gun shop was a really funny scene, i don’t think she was sold a gun. but then the best friend of the main guy, he ends up falling in love with her, but at first they hated each other. Oh and there’s this scene at the bar where the guy best friend has these security cameras placed in the room of the main guy. he and eventually everyone is watching what is happening on his laptop and eventually it is put on all the bar tvs. what happened was the main guy was tied to a chair, the main girl and guy got in a fight, but then they made up and kissed. and than everyone at the bar was like awh.

okay so hopefully that helped and wasn’t too long

thank u so much!!!
thank u SO much
