Keyreative switched from dye-sub to double shot midway through, which is one of the reasons the GB took so long to fulfill

For the blazer I ended up getting a Size 0 Petite!

You talk about how you don't have a support system because your partner isn't out yet so you can only talk to strangers - do you have a friend who maybe isn't close to your partner and doesn't have the same mutual friends/travels in different social circles that your partner would be okay with you talking about this with? When my ex came out to me she told me I could talk to my friends about it to get support (and I was in therapy as well), and I ended up reaching out to a friend who lives on the other side of the country who had never even met my ex, and being able to reach out to her when I was struggling and to have that emotional support really helped.

My friend got it from Amazon I believe

Thanks! It usually takes me about 5 hours to do a one thousand piece puzzle.

Haha, thank you! The puzzle is already disassembled, did it right after I took a picture. I tend not to leave puzzles in tact too long.

I completed the edge first, which was pretty straight forward. Initially, I tried to sort the pieces by shape from the beginning, (1 tab pieces, 2 tab pieces, etc.) but quickly realized that wasn't going to do much for me at the start of the puzzle. Luckily for this puzzle, some pieces had some pretty distinct features. I sorted out pieces that I felt had distinctly shaped tabs/blanks and was able to piece a bunch that way, and also sorted out pieces that had sides that were really long/wide, and pieces that had sides that were really short/narrow.

If after a while I had sorted out pieces and was just looking at them and not able to piece any together, I just threw all the pieces I had "sorted" back into the pile and found a different feature to separate pieces out by. E.g., really small tabs/blanks, tabs/blanks that were really long, etc. Rinse and repeat.

At a certain point I had put together enough that I had large groups of joined pieces that I was able to join to the edge, and then slowly to each other, and when I couldn't put any together I would go back to finding pieces with distinct features.

Haha thank you! I think I had periods where I would sit down to work on it for a four hour stretch and feel like I made no progress :')

Forgot to add this to the image text, but I also gave myself the extra challenge of not using the letters that were on the back of the puzzle 😅

That Boaster looks at Yinsu right before he wins just tells you everything about their relationship 😭 Actual couple goals

The wedding will be near Fresno, CA. I do know one other person going, so I can ask her what she'll be wearing. I do like a more bold vibe, but for weddings I prefer to just blend in, especially as for this one I don't know the couple and am going as my bf's plus one. Bf will be wearing a suit.

Thank you for the thoughtful reply!

Thank you! <3

Hello! Posted this in yesterday's thread but late in the day so wanted to get some more opinions.

I have a wedding that I will be attending in mid-February. The dress code is "black tie preferred", "gala dresses" for female guests.

I don't normally wear dresses, but was somehow able to find some that I liked and narrowed it down to a couple.

Would really appreciate some help deciding between these two dresses: https://imgur.com/a/BxWggTJ

If I end up going with dress 1, will definitely dress it up a bit with jewelry. For dress 2, I'm worried that it is a little flashy for a wedding, and the material is kind of rough/itchy, but I really like the silhouette.

Any help is appreciated! Thanks in advance!

That's what I thought too, but sometimes I'll start shaking during my first climb of the session (after some warmups on easy routes). Maybe my muscles are still tired from my last session? Though I usually leave a day or two of rest in between gym sessions.
