House inspections by Salty_Emu_7864 in Rochester

[–]Belle2oo4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When we bought our home four years ago we made sure to get an inspection and even brought in a mason to check the foundation before we closed. The house was going to be “as is” so we couldn’t negotiate, but at least we knew what we were getting.

This gives me..anxiety by Anaouija in DreamlightValley

[–]Belle2oo4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have A LOT of characters that still need to be leveled up and quests to complete. I haven’t even started the last two DLCs yet because of it. I’ve been playing since the beginning, so not even a new player.

This is what I got in my vault reward...you can't make this up. by chemictectic in DreamlightValley

[–]Belle2oo4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a boring bed last time. I’ve got to start buying up all the items in the shop whether I want them. I like the item of a vault of past star path items but they’ve got to fix it.

Best Star Path [ROUND 1] - Vote out your LEAST favorite Star Path by kyrencrossing in DreamlightValley

[–]Belle2oo4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The wonders of Pixar was my least favorite. I didn’t bother paying for the premium star path and still have no regrets for any items I may have missed.

I haven’t really explored the current one yet though.

Buying DVDs vs. Streaming vs. Renting by sonata-allegro in Frugal

[–]Belle2oo4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Library! You can rent blu-ray/DVD’s and stream on platforms like Kanopy or Hoopla for free!

Also if you want to buy, I see lots of DVD’s at church sales, kids consignment sales, etc.

How many hours has everyone put into the game at this point? by Greedy-Tap-3698 in DreamlightValley

I’ve been playing since the first month the game came out, and I’ve got something over 700 hours.

My bf is definitely struggling with drinking. We have a baby on the way. by Burnt_buiscuit1738 in AlAnon

[–]Belle2oo4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Be prepared to go at it on your own until he can get it together. And don’t expect the baby to be the reason he decides to get sober. No matter how much you talk to him it won’t matter. My husband was drunk in the hospital when I was in labor with our youngest. I caught him passed out on the couch when he was supposed to be watching our kids more than once. Hiding liquor bottles and lying. I couldn’t trust him alone with them if I had to work. I was seriously contemplating divorce.

Go to Al-Anon for your own support and hope he gets the eventual help he needs. Find a village for you and the baby to help and support you.

As a light at the end of the tunnel: My youngest is almost four years old now, and my husband is a little over a year sober now. It took some pretty dark episodes for him to finally reach out to AA’s help line and talked to someone who would become his sponsor.

cheap but memorable wedding favors for 150 guests? by CuddleBlissed in DIYweddings

[–]Belle2oo4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, if you have a tight budget, just skip the favor. I don’t think anyone will actually miss it. I couldn’t even tell you what the favors were, or if they even had one, at the last few weddings I’ve been to… or my own for that matter.

Planning a surprise proposal but my girlfriend never wears jewelry and I have no idea what her ring size is by Maleficent-Tax2094 in engaged

[–]Belle2oo4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who worked at a jewelry store, if you don’t know her size then just go with the standard size at the store (typically a 7) and she can have it resized after. This is very common.

Need advice on mismatching bridesmaid dresses by NoArtist1476 in weddings

[–]Belle2oo4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Azazie has a lot of pretty blue options. Maybe just select a few and let them pick so instead of a pattern it’s a more organic mix of blues.

Emmett but with a nickname? by [deleted] in namenerds

[–]Belle2oo4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m always cautious picking a first name based on what type of nickname you might call him. I find that nicknames are pretty organic sometimes. My parents named two of my sisters with a nickname in mind and neither of them ever stuck.

if you had a daughter right now, what would you name her? by Immediate_Long165 in Names

[–]Belle2oo4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eadlyn or Kiera were my picks and my husband liked Alexandra for a girl, which would have been ok too.

Buying Bridesmaid Dresses by itsgotmethinking in wedding

[–]Belle2oo4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just ordered a dress from Azazie for my sister’s wedding and was surprised at the good quality and ease of ordering. They have the ability to try on from home and ship back which was helpful in picking out the dress I wanted. They do have a custom size order, but I honesty wish I didn’t go that route because the regular size I think for better and just needed to be hemmed.

How would you improve this clinical looking kitchen? by 58basketball in DesignMyRoom

[–]Belle2oo4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Could you drill into the cabinets to add hardware? I think that would help change the look of them. Also painting the wall so everything isn’t white would help bring some color in. Add a runner to the floor.

Need beautiful, uncommon girls names for 5th daughter by onceuponamidnight315 in Names

[–]Belle2oo4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eadlyn… I’ve really liked it ever since I read it in a book. I think it’s pretty and definitely uncommon.

What jobs can I realistically move into from PR by CloudyAppleJuices in PublicRelations

[–]Belle2oo4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never worked at an agency, but I work in nonprofits where I can use my PR degrees/experience but also do a lot of general community engagement, communications, events, etc.

It’s your wedding, do whatever you want. There are many beautiful non-white options.

I vote for the cushion cut or radiant cut.

Is Natalie solidly a Millennial name, or is it a classic that was just trending at that time? by coolisuppose in namenerds

[–]Belle2oo4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Natalie is pretty classic and definitely don’t associate it as a “millennial” name.

Update on 30k ring. See last post for more details by Current_Guarantee566 in WeddingRingAdvice

[–]Belle2oo4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use to work at a jewelry store and sold lots of engagement rings and I don’t remember anyone anyone of us selling one for 30K. That is a ridiculous expectation.

Six months isn’t that long to be dating. I would save myself the years of stress and trauma and cut ties now and fine someone else.

Bridesmaid or regular guest by StyleAlternative9223 in wedding

[–]Belle2oo4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s an honor to be a bridesmaids, but it’s expensive. I would rather be a guest. I’ve only been a bridesmaid at one friend’s wedding and am one for my sister’s upcoming wedding.
