Freeze your kitchen compost! I learned this trick from an old roommate and cannot recommend it enough. No smells. No fruit flies. Easy disposal from kitchen bin to curbside bin (no weird gooey stuff oozing halfway down the side of the bin, because it's all solid!). Did I mention no smells? I use a longish, flattish Read more

I do the freezing thing, especially in summer. Then I put out the frozen stuff the morning of our yard waste day. It doesn't get stinky and it doesn't attract critters - we have raccoons and the occasional coyote. Stuff that can just stay in the fridge, I'll often use a pizza box for that then put the whole thing Read more

I had a massive FF infestation last year, and used apple cider vinegar + dish soap, but I added a blast of water to make some suds. It seemed to work better if there were bubbles for the bastards to get trapped in. Read more

If you're having serious fruit fly problems (or fungus gnats from houseplants) in a compost box, you can always treat the box/ plants with nematodes. These microscopic animals (they look like worms, but are not worms) devour the fly larvae in the soil/ box, leaving nothing but a pile of corpses behind (not really, but Read more

We don't have matching tats but this was our custom drawn wedding invitation I got on my arm for our anniversary. Our rooster was our ring bearer

My last relationship ended in a broken engagement due to infidelity on her part. That shit messed me up. My fiance also had her relationship prior to me end due to infidelity from her ex. Needless to say, the "let's discuss our exes" talk came up as soon as we decided to be in an exclusive relationship with each Read more

You just failed the "does this dude really believe women set tests" test. Please leave. Read more

We are cat people with two tuxedo cats, so we got a couple of cattoos to celebrate our marriage. Although we don't PLAN on breaking up, we were careful to choose something that we felt represented our relationship and something that appealed to us individually. Sorry for the blurry picture!

My husband is also very personally anti-tattoo but shortly after our wedding I got a NMH-themed tattoo featuring a line from "our song" (and also the song I walked down the aisle to).

I have a sleeve of all outlines, including a portrait of my husband that was on our wedding invitations. He's getting my portrait done in color on his arm in June.

Ani l'dodi v'dodi li. For our first anniversary. He's at work, so I can't show you, but he has a lightning bolt where my star is. Jewish strangers looooove to read me.

We have matching black bouquets, done by Hilary Fisher White. I don't have a photo of his handy, but here's mine:

When I started dating my husband, he had a huge replica of Gainsborough's 'The Honourable Mrs. Graham'. She had come with the house and he affectionately called her Lady Graham. She came with him when he moved in with me and as we started looking at houses to buy, we always had the "where will we put the lady?"

Quite simply really, just our wedding date in Roman numerals:

We are commercial fishermen. That's how we met.

This was in celebration of our 8th anniversary this year.

His last name is fox and my mom has compaired me to the raccoons she raised before I was born. So there is a fox raccoon theme all over our house. And we found a tooth and a 22 bullet in the house we bought. Our 5 year bang-iversary or our 3 year wedding anniversary depending on who I am taking to.

We met on a zombie preparedness website.
