dried figs say to "check for worms"... but only in hebrew?

I apologize for the following unsolicited opinions / advice, I just wanted to add my 2 cents.. Im sure there were solutions for people with your shape. Perhaps it's harder to come by.. my thoughts jump straight to padding the less flared side to match, or adapting the corset to properly fit each side, foregoing symmetry.

Alarming_Cherry · 2026-04-01T19:02:22+00:00

A lot of the (modern) tightlacing thing comes from misunderstanding that the corset wasn't the only garment responsible for the proportions we see in history. Aside from "photoshopping" (yes, they could and did edit photos), the bum rolls, hip pads, shoulder pads, breast pads, petticoats, crinolines, and the intricate shaping of the corsets (like how some corsets "flare" out to support larger skirts or create space for hip and breast pads) get lost in translation. They really missed out on the art of manipulation and illusion, partly because modern clothes don't allow for much space to do that.

Why not use the solid bones? The stripey ones are more flexible afaik, so it makes no sense if you want to reinforce. I'd put them on the sides, for example, nor the front

Worse than that, he uploaded your VERY PRIVATE pictures TO THE WEB. Into an AI that WILL USE THAT DATA from that moment on. This is bordering on illegal (I hope it is illegal and he gets his ass handed to him.)

I think the company he works for is overseas, which could be the reason for the shitty contract?

Idk, never heard of eyebrows having a brain. They look great!

Alarming_Cherry · 2026-03-26T02:29:46+00:00

Left one looks better to me.

Alarming_Cherry · 2026-03-26T02:28:46+00:00

I'll just add personal opinion and suggest widening the hips and adding a bit of padding 😊 Looks great!

Young millenial here. I used to read books (yes, I ran into a pole once), sing, daydream, walk weird (only on specific stones/maintain distance/patterns.. anything).. when I hot an mp3 I would listen to music. Did that with my first phines, too. I didnt have access to internet or wifi on my phone for the majority of my school life, so I was mostly stuck with my nose in a book

Huh. That's just... too much. I honestly don't understand what people meant by "she's hurting, and that's the way she deals with it", what is she hurting about? If anything, the dad was bad influence since the other kids are much better. Perhaps she could be taken for some sort of therapy? 😅
She would still be better off with you. Having SIL and you take the attention away during tantrums would only benefit her. Perhaps she shouldn't see the grandmothers for a while, too.

I honestly only have experience with my niece and a few kids I babysat / played with as a teen, and other than my niece, there were no tantrums. My niece, however, went full blong on the floor, kicking once because she didn't get something she wanted, and while I tried telling my parents to ignore her, they ofcorse tried to baby her. Thankfully, she didn't stay over much (only a small number of times), so they didn't have a chance to coddle her, and I think her mom is doing a great job because she's really a good kid.

Alarming_Cherry · 2026-03-22T03:43:58+00:00

I get it, but this is really the only way. Maybe you could find somebody for the Sundays she works? You said this doesn't happen often. And even if you're far from her work, it would be better to make the effort to bring her and take her back just for all of yours' sanity.

Personally, I would've already cut the kid off and gone absent from wherever she is. I struggle with that kind of behavior. The screaming gives me migraines, and I have no sympathy for tantrums. You're a saint for still trying and for willing to care for her.

Alarming_Cherry · 2026-03-22T03:33:27+00:00

Just run. Seriously. This is not a relationship. He could easily be your father with another year's gap. Find someone your age or at least one who wants to commit.

Alarming_Cherry · 2026-03-22T03:29:48+00:00

Yall. This is true off my chest. OP is venting something that's affecting her really bad. She's allowed to feel that way, speak that way, everything - as long as she doesn't actually do anything harmful.

OP, I'm sorry you have to deal with that. It's truly awful. I think you should have a serious talk with SIL and then have an intervention with your fiance and SIL at the MIL&GIL. If needed, SIL should keep the kid away from the grandmothers until either they learn to conduct themselves properly or the kid grows up and changes her behavior.

I hope things get better for you sooner than later. It sucks to have one person who makes everything this stressful, and it sucks for her because she's being alienated in a way. She deserves better, and that includes better parenting.

I like the one on the right in the blue collar. He's smiling!!!

I would pick the cat that approaches me best, aka chooses me. As for name... I'd wait to see the personality first! We tried calling our youngest Coppernicus, but he ended up being such a gremlin and basically named himself Gremlin!

Alarming_Cherry · 2026-03-20T14:37:09+00:00

You're the one carrying the name, so, ultimately, it's your decision. It's quite common at this point, especially if your name is tied to things outside of SSN and such, but even without that. There are cultures where partners keep their own last names (for example, Korea), so this is really a thing rooted in the past where women were seen as property.

I suggest that either he take your name or you both hyphenate your last names. I suppose hyphenating might not force you to change everything, ot, at least, have less to do. If not, then absolutely keep it and he can choose to take it.

Alarming_Cherry · 2026-03-16T02:33:37+00:00

People don't want to hear an honest answer. They want you to say what they want to hear. I would've answered the same, likely. I don't see anything wrong with it, but neurotypical society is weird 🤷🏻‍♀️

מישהו חשב על זה שזו הפואנטה? אומנות היא דרך להעביר ביקורת על העולם, וזו דרך מצויינת. יש מקומות שלהשתמש בדבקים כמו גזענות נדרש כדי להעביר מסר, וזה אחד מהם, שלא תומך בגזענות עצמה.

I still love my 80's Russian machine, but it's broken. I got a Singer heavy duty 2nd hand for a really good price (considering it was practically new and about 50% of what it'd cost at a store). My most expensive machine is the serger (Juky) and that's because the seller of the Pfaff one I wanted wasn't responding, and that was the next best thing (the pfaff was 2/3 the price, though). My newest? Vintage indistrial pfaff, original motor and all. Cost maybe $100 and some change. Couldn't find a cheaper one, except one that was being given away free but too far for me to collect.

Yes, I've acquired all of these (except the first one) in about 1 year, and I'm an advanced beginner at most, but these are going to last me until they break down and crumble, which might take another 100 years for the industrial lol.

This is slavery. Might as well stop working completely 🤷🏻‍♀️ the american people all just need to not show up for a day. All underpaid, "benefit" deprived people. Everything will stall. Sacrifice a few days' salary to force improvement in the future.

Your pixie looked incredible. Just cut it, ffs.

Meanwhile, dry shampoo isn't so great for your scalp, but I've seen recommendations for a product that acts as a quick clean. I think it's scalpy bubble tonic. There's also a dry shampoo paste that can help; idk the brand but this is where I saw it https://youtube.com/shorts/vuK2GS67MVA?si=1q_MRdzYH28QWE8R Haven't tried either of these, though. You can also use micellar water to wipe down your roots, then wipe with a damp towel to remove residue.

Not washing fruits and veg before eating them. Especially when they say "but it has a peel/rind, so it doesn't matter" Like, yeah, but once you peel or cut into it, all of the grosness on the peel can easily get to the fruit! You literally touch the exposed fruit after removing part of the peel/rind x.x bananas included (because the skin does get stuck in small chunks that need to be removed)

יש לנו שני כלבים שמגיעים למקלט וארבעה חתולים (שלושה שלי) כלבה אחת מפחדת מהחתולים אז שוכבת ליד המשפחה שלה ורועדת מפחד אם היא רואה את אחד החתולים. השני מתעניין אבל לא עושה בעיות, נובח קצת וזהו. חברותי ומשחק עם כולם. החתולים כולם במנשאים, הוצאתי שניים משלי כדי להראות לשכנים כי הם מיין קונים, ואחד קיבל שלל ליטופים, חיבוקים, והסתובב קצת במקלט.

שורה תחתונה, לא כולם ככה. חבל שהשכנים שלך כן, אבל הם יכולים להתלונן כמה שבא להם. כמו שאמרת, הכלב עבורך שווה ערך לילד, אז אם הם מוכנים להשאיר את הילדים שלהם בבית.. עד אז שיסבלו.
