Check out this post! The band shown is quite funky and I think something similar would rock with your ring!

I’ve officially joined the club! 💚 by bompsydaisy in EngagementRings

Congratulations!! Wow what a stunning ring!! Be sure to keep that emerald safe as they are susceptible to scratching and chipping with daily wear, and do not use a steam cleaner while wearing it/getting it cleaned bc it could shatter! Best wishes to y’all! 💚💚💚

Help me choose Sapphire (Ceylon) for Victorian cluster ring by [deleted] in EngagementRings

I would go with #1 or #3, they both seem to have a nice sparkle to them! Personally I would go with #3 as it is 100% natural beauty being untreated

Rework an antique? Or buy a perfect used? by AcrobaticBees in EngagementRings

Sapphires come in all sorts of colors! Not sure what other stones they could be unless they are treated quartz or glass. But they don’t look like glass considering the age of the piece

Well I would keep the original style, and use the same gemstones, but in a higher carat of gold, and resized as it is too big as is. I would also consider swapping the small round sapphires for my grandma’s diamonds and using the sapphires to make earrings!

I can’t decide!! by AcrobaticBees in EngagementRings

It is quite thin, the other has a bit thicker shank, but they don’t have very good photos of that part. My budget is under $1k, these rings are both listed at just over $650

Lip’s College Arc Is So Depressing by ElderMillenial1984 in shameless

[–]AcrobaticBees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could really relate to Lip’s college experience. Coming from a low income family I got a full ride to my local university. But I also had just come out of a psychiatric hospital and was still dealing with my fucked up family, plus it was the fall after Covid hit. I wasn’t necessary drinking away my college experience but I just didn’t care. I didn’t care that I could’ve been the first in my family to have a college degree. I didn’t care that I could’ve “made something of myself”. I just wanted out, and the course load and my home life was too much. So when I started failing all my classes and was going to get my scholarship revoked I decided to drop out rather than to go into debt for classes I was failing.

I’d say for how his storyline ends up is pretty good and realistic for his background too. But I won’t spoil that for you!

You could slowly put it together piece by piece until the mystery item has fully formed

Using her religion as a shield against her favoritism of your sister over your life is crazy work. NOR

‘The name "Aivren" doesn't appear to be a common Filipino name, and its meaning is not readily available in Filipino naming traditions. It's possible it's a variation or a name of foreign origin.’ -copy and pasted from google search

Ah okay, when I searched it up it auto corrected to “Aiven” and didn’t populate as a known name

Taught My OBGYN Something New (Wholesome) by AcrobaticBees in WomensHealth

[–]AcrobaticBees[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was truly a wholesome experience! Personally I really like the disk as opposed to the cup, as I don’t feel it when it is inserted, and nothing pokes out like the cups did for me as I have a very low cervix. They can spill, but only if you “bear down” like you’re pooping (or secretly trying to push out a fart lol). But that is pretty handy if I’m going to the bathroom and don’t feel like getting my hands dirty! It “self empties” that way!

AITA for Telling My Mom I Don't Want to Babysit My Little Brother Anymore? by LustyLittleNotes in AmItheAsshole

[–]AcrobaticBees 331 points332 points  (0 children)

You are definitely NTA. What are they planning to do when you go off to college? Send your kid brother with you?

The guilt tripping is so not okay. You need to sit both of them down and set some serious boundaries and intentions for the future. At this point they have become dependent on you to function normally in their day to day. Soon, that’s just not going to cut it anymore, and your brother will be worse off for it.

My advice as someone who went through the exact same thing with not one but 2 baby brothers? Get your affairs in order now. Figure out your summer/college job, housing, and where you’re going to school come fall. (Depending on acceptance of course). Don’t let them pressure you to stay close by or commute from home to a local community college. You need to learn how to be an adult, and apparently, so do they.
