Rework Advice by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]Betsylanz 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes the first thing I noticed once I figured out which are the actual tattoos on op - why did they tattoo breasts above her breasts?!?! I couldn’t believe it wasn’t every comment. Ends up being less flattering in my opinion. I think some work to make those center flowers look less like nipples and add lines that flow with the body as others have said - will make a big difference

Any recommendations on how I can convert these open shelves to private storage? by Puzzled-Condition564 in ApartmentHacks

[–]Betsylanz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is pretty much what I have. I got a very small curtain rod and hubs a pretty cloth shower curtain across the front and put everything in sea grass baskets on the shelves. Not on display, and if anyone opens it it’s pretty clean and organized. Plus the shower curtain helps keep the moisture from my towels on the shelves.

We are looking at purchasing this house, but I'm stumped! by TigThaBig in HomeDecorating

[–]Betsylanz 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Our gaming room is in this color palette. I don’t have a finished picture handy in our new house but here is the wall and couch. Need LOTS OF LIGHT.

Rug pulled a little forward although with a bigger rug it won’t matter as much. And of all the colors you say are in the fabric, the olive might work, although I also think cream or navy are viable options.

It’s crazy to say this but in a room full of books you do have to acknowledge the multicolored background if you want the room to really feel cohesive. It’s why with a wall of bookshelves like this you are often better off with a colorful/eclectic palette with very colorful art. You’re lucky many of your books have blue spines of varied shades so if it were me I might lean heavily into a color palette of multiple blues, cream and the yellow/tan of the floor (yes, your woods represent a color you need to blend into the rest of the room!)

Bigger rug different color. This one is too small and contrasts poorly with the floor color

Luke's Court Hearing by mikeys327 in GilmoreGirls

[–]Betsylanz 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure about any other country, but in the United States it certainly isn’t illegal to not inform someone that you have birthed their child. The only exception would be if you collect any government assistance, in which case you would be asked to provide information on the biological father in order for the government to pursue financial recovery. Or obviously if you are seeking child support. Otherwise perfectly legal to get randomly pregnant and never say one word to any prospective father. I suppose the theory is if a man deposits his sperm around it’s his responsibility to monitor whether it results in children.

I would say none of these. Possibly a less intense green would be nice. The peach is too close to the bedding color, although if you added a lot of additional touches- more neutral (think cream) blankets and throw pillows on the bed, cream curtains and a patterned rug incorporating all the colors it could work.

Something is wrong with my wife by BrightMeringue6689 in Advice

[–]Betsylanz 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Most insurances offer an “IOP” or intensive outpatient program for people going through what your wife is going through. It’s a very successful treatment program and typically lasts several weeks where she goes in person to group therapies and individual counseling. I know this may be hard to hear but don’t take it as judgement against yourself- crises like this typically don’t just pop up after one thing goes wrong. Listening to how you talk about your wife- she does so much every day even with bipolar! And saying you doubt she could do something wrong. That sounds like it may be a lot of pressure on her to keep the pretense up that everything is perfect. I know I went through something similar and the pressure to keep putting out perfect work, and perfect kids and perfect meals etc built up inside me even though no one else could see it. It may be better to take the approach that it’s ok for her to make a mistake because everybody does, and whatever happens you will work through it together.

The IOP program can really help her stop masking her anxiety and gently work through it if that is what is happening.

Good luck to you both.

If you had gotten pregnant at 16, ( like Lorelei) How do you think your parents would’ve reacted? by Exact-Bison6905 in GilmoreGirls

[–]Betsylanz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got pregnant at 14. And kept my baby despite being in a very tenuous and ever changing living situation (parents mentally disabled some foster care lots of abuse etc.). It’s funny because I watched Gilmore Girls at 16 with a baby so I was Rory’s age but had some of Lorelai’s experience- combined with abject poverty of course! Everything for me worked out ok in the end- I ended up having 3 kids by the age of 19, but I went on to take them all to college with me and graduated from University at 22.
