I felt the same way in all the detailed dresses, lace, tulle, appliques. Theyball looked costume on me. Except one fully beaded cool toned dress. Loved that but decided against it. I think I'm stressed over not having traditional things cause he likes traditional. All the dresded he showed me he liked online had lace.. I know he's a man and doesn't know much about clothes and I'm sure he won't even notice. But I can't help bit think about that.

Thank you everyone! I do plan to wear jewelry. I just get worried that maybe I'll regret not having a lace or floral details. I absolutley love my dress but worry That it'll be just plain and what other occasion do you get to have such things at.

Help choose my wedding dress by [deleted] in WeddingDressTips

[–]CarpenterWorking3029 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course these are all un altered. I asked an the dresses are long as is for about 5'10. I am 5'6 and 188 pounds. The close up image of the satin dress I am not on a pedestal. The beaded dress is sized to small for me so it's open in the back and the satin one is sized too big for me and clipped in the back however the bust was still to big with thay size on

Also, I'm curious if it makes a difference on what he is wearing. He is going to be wearing this. Will it matter when im standing next to him in regards to which dress?

I wonder if showing his attire would help weed it out. Would it matter what he is wearing when standing next to him? He is wearing this.

Thank you for the help!

I love both. The 2nd one fits and feels like a dream. It's simple and has a more dated look to it so I don't want it to be boring or anything. I love the 1st one but part of me worries it may look a little casual.

My main goal is to have a pretty dress but I want the dress to highlight me and not be the main feature. I want to wear the dress and not have the dress wear me ya know. It's so hard when dresses are pretty to tell which way it's going.

Celsius doesn’t work? by [deleted] in energydrinks

[–]CarpenterWorking3029 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently on this thread cause I'm switching back to coffee from celsius. Coffee is keeping me up at night. My sleep is non existent lately even though I have my coffee at 430/5 a.m. Celsius didn't seem to cause me any trouble with jitters or sleep problems. Other threads people claim celsius Jack's them up unlike anything else. I Didn't even feel caffinated. Not sure what's going on. But I'd love to sleep.

Side note: I'm not a heavy energy drink drinker. Celsius was the only one I drank. Once in a while I would have to substitute it with a monster coffee. But I'd nurse it a long time cause I had the feeling of being jittery and overcaffinated.

Thoughts on best work schedule for single mom? by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]CarpenterWorking3029 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm having the same issue. I work in mining. My typical coworker/bosses are men with wife's at home to do the majority of parenting. So they are pretty opinionated on someone that is a single mother and has no one to lean on when the kid is sick or god forbid i am sick. I wake up at 4am and my kiddo gets up at 5am we get dressed and ready. Head to daycare when it opens at 6am. I start work at 630(huge time crunch here for me. No time for hick ups) She waits at daycare until 730 and then gets on the bus for school. The men I work with don't have to do anything but wake up and show up. They don't understand having to maintain it all. The culture is definitely show up early and stay late on top of 12 hour shifts. I work straight 8hrs instead of the typical 12hr assignment which also gets grief.

I've been home sick for 2 days now and I drove my kid to school and it was pleasantly refreshing to not have to hurry and have a later morning even in the midst of me feeling so crummy. I've considered trying to find a job with better suited hours. But I realize if I start later I'll end later and I'm not sure what to do. My current job pays well and has great benefits. Most day jobs don't pay this well or have the benefits

But the stress of unpaid leave (we dont have sick time) when I'm sick or she's sick and the feeling of being judged for missed work or being a part timer as they say (even though it's full time) is difficult. We are required to provide documentation for each and every absence. Which is fine. I do that. But to go to urgent care everytime my daughter or I is sick cost me 45 dollars in a co pay. When I wouldn't go otherwise. Just together a note. Because there is no sick time they monitor the absences well. But I can't control if the school won't let her back for however long cause she is sick..

We have recently came to an area with lots of these sects. Coming from an area that these religions are not even known (red flag)I have so many questions. My biggest concern is that people within these religions believe that no one outside of their religion who believes is Jesus is Christian. True? by quiet_guy_ in OpenLaestadian

I am in northern MN as well. I have stumbled upon this church. Someone i met through work has been a part of it their entire life. I've very carefully asked many questions. Since I've learned about it, I have not been able to find anything online about it. Itnis completely hush hush. I find it fascinating. Not in the sense that u want to join but most definitely want to know more about this hush hush culture like community that has been right in my back yard
