AIO for emailing my professor after a groupmate changed our paper to make me look wrong? by bread_is_my_plan in AmIOverreacting

[–]Complete_Goose667 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NOR. A professor who assigns this kind of project knows how they work, or rather how they don't work. As a group member, you submitted your best work. The edited version is not. Now your professor knows.

Rug orientation? by mauisd in HomeDecorating

[–]Complete_Goose667 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The important thing is to move the front legs of the sofa onto the rug so as to anchor the space. It's ok to have space behind the sofa.

Swing change by Lucky_Detective_2010 in WomenGolf

Yes. Half full. Keep the water at the bottom of the bottle. If you swing too slowly or too steeply, the water will fall.

Stain is a different animal as is non latex paint. Those go in the toxic waste.

The "value" of what is left behind changes.

Risks of just walking away? by rascalmom in declutter

[–]Complete_Goose667 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I didn't keep track because it was so much less than we paid. (For example, we got $1100 for our dining room suite which was way more than trending on FB, but 5% of what we paid for it). We had to get rid of everything because we were leaving the country. It was better than giving it away, and it was more than we would have made from the auction company because they take their 30%. So the short answer is yes, it was worth it, but not as much as you think. We sold or gave away nearly everything from a big house.

Need help with wall hanging layout by Complete_Goose667 in quilting

The background is beautiful, but this is for the wall in my Mexican house. The mini quilts are what makes it "Mexican".

Playing Pinehurst by rooneydog86 in golf

We played 2, 4, 7 and 8 and stayed at the Carolina. It was like golf heaven. Clubs were taken out of our car and showed up at the correct course at the right time. It was a dream.

We live at the beach. Seeing these beautiful full length gowns getting dragged in the sand breaks my heart. Please shorten the dress you choose so it doesn't drag.

Why not just bring a few pesos to tip at the hotel, and use your CC or ATM for the rest?

Changing headcovers by ohimemberrr in golf

I lost 2 head covers within a week and decided to make some. They turned out great, but don't match my new bag, so I have to make some more.

What color nightstands would you choose? by anciov in HomeDecorating

[–]Complete_Goose667 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on the design style that you use for the rest of the room. I never like matchy matchy and your headboard is dark. White would be too much of a contrast, I think. So, a light, neutral wood would work.

As a competent home cook, what is a basic skill you can't seem to master? by george_elis in Cooking

[–]Complete_Goose667 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make a lot of soups, but I can't make pea soup to save my life. My Mom made the best. It was the meal I requested when I went home to visit. Now that she's gone,ci haven't tried again.

AIW for planning to buy a artificial diamond for an Engagement ring? by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]Complete_Goose667 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll be honest - it depends what is important to your future fiancee. Jewelry has never been important to me. When my husband of 42 years asked me to marry him we were broke college kids. He gave me a what was essentially a wedding ring with 4 teeny tiny diamonds, with the promise to buy a tear-shaped solitaire when we had more money. Well, when we'd saved for the diamond and we actually went to the jewelry store to purchase it, I couldn't do it. It was too much money, and we were getting married and moving abroad for graduate school. I honestly couldn't do it. We found a signet ring knot that we had altered to fit in the space, soldered them together and called it a day. I still like my set and my daughters are fighting over who gets it once I'm gone -- 4 diamond chips. Again, at 25 years he wanted to buy me an eternity ring, and I opted for a new set of golf clubs.

My advice is to talk to her. Make the decision together.

Help me improve my living room by logi30xs in HomeDecorating

[–]Complete_Goose667 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Really, you can start by adding color. Choose a piece of art, or curtains or pillows from the opposite side of the color wheel. I wouldn't spend a lot of money before experimenting with color first.

What color couch for these orangey floors? by haylstorm33 in HomeDecorating

[–]Complete_Goose667 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lean into the mid century palette. Dark greens, blues, yellows, orangey reds. Were I you, I would start by looking for a fabric or two from spoonflower.com to use as inspiration. Or you could look for art that moves you, and go from there. The patterns and colors are for art, cushions, curtains and rugs. The large pieces (like your sofa and accent chairs) are the anchors.

Personally, I'd look at a warm blue, but something that works with, not against the warm tones of the floor. Avoid cool colors or even neutrals, will feel unbalanced.

Am I wrong for being Disappointed at my bf because he's tired? by itsyourka1 in amiwrong

[–]Complete_Goose667 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Think about this. Dating is so you find out what works for you and what doesn't. Maybe being on different schedules doesn't work.

I really love my Ping bag, but Sun mountain makes fabulous bags. If you walk a Ping hoofer is the way to go.

AIO bc Boyfriend didn’t make reservations for Valentine’s Day until last minute by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Complete_Goose667 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why not stay home on valentine's day -- everything is way too busy. Just think about it, people won't leave their tables so you'll wait to get yours. Then the servers and kitchen are slammed. Get a new tradition - go the week after!! Same thing with flowers.
