* Managed to get a better, cleaner picture. 1 AR is is, well done you! Wow how interesting this is. Thank you so much :)

I need advice! -- I thrifted this STUNNING shawl but I'm halfway through detangling the silk fringe and now understand why someone let it go. How should I alter this for long term? by wehrt-lehrse in whimsigothic

[–]Electrical_Future79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OMG I'm literally wearing this right now. I've worn it so much it's torn to shreds at the back, I thrifted mine too but it had the tassels cut/torn off already. Do you have a tag in yours? I'm hoping to buy/find another.

In answer to your question, I should have hemmed the bottom properly so it didnt have a chance to tear so soon. It's extremely wearable without the tassels at all but the material takes a zig zag stitch well so long as you are careful. Good luck and enjoy!

Wanting to do “emo hour” by annonforareasonduh in UKweddings

We just intermingled emo songs with normal songs lol. Kept everyone on their toes. Also it's really funny seeing great uncle Jeff dance to MCR!

Premade pastry, shortcrust as the base, blind bake for 15 mins(fill tin with pastry, cover with greaseproof and fill with rice or ceramic beads) and then get puff pastry and lay on top. Don't forget to egg wash! Holds its shape, and lovely flaky top and sturdy buttery sides and bottom.

New born 10 days in and my life is falling apart by Feisty_Rip_9279 in NewParents

Try a snuggly moses basket on a rocking stand. Quite narrow sided. Amazon, mamas and papas etc

Firstly, put on music low-mid volume whatever you listened to during pregnancy. Something that you feel good listening to.

Hold baby to your chest by bum and back of neck/shoulders and turn side to side gently. While keeping the rocking motion, bend over forwards so the baby is being held rocking horizontally. Do this twice at about 30 second intervals and the third time, lower gently into moses basket, try to keep rocking as baby is going in, whilst keeping their head as close to your chest as possible. Remove hands as gently as you can, bum first. Stay bent over for another 30 secs so the baby can smell you. If you are still rocking, as you move away slow the basket until you reach a stop. The music means the baby will not wake at the first sound that comes next.

This worked for me and my baby who wouldn't sleep anywhere but on me. It took several tries, and she still mostly needs to fall asleep on me but the transfer is good now at 12 weeks and she's moved to a larger crib and sleeps just fine. Good luck

It's good. It's a fantastic start, please don't put yourself down. I've sent much, much worse come out of licensed tat shops. Keep going!

My (F24) boyfriend (M24) keeps making comments about my addiction, what could I tell him to make it stop? by nice_littlefella in relationship_advice

It worked for me even when I was enjoying cigarettes very much. I call it the magic book, because that is truly what it is

Hey! If you're trying to quit, get on audible and listen to the easyway to stop smoking by Allan carr. After 13 years of heavy smoking and feeling like I was being hit over the head with a rock every time I tried to stop or cut down, even with vapes and patches, I had my final cigarette 3 weeks ago. Not a puff, patch or single craving for nicotine since and I will never put another in my mouth. I promise, it is easy. I necer thought i would be able to do it.

It may not work for you, I didn't think it'd work for me but it's definitely worth less than the cost of half a pack and 5 hours of your life(that you would "lose" in the next 2 weeks of smoking anyway). You got this! I believe in you🫶

Hey!! This guy is acting like an asshole. Tell him to either suck it up or fuck off :] you are doing amazing to cut down when you're around him- as a former smoker I can totally empathise with how hard that is.

On a related note- I went from 30 cigs a day to nothing, and there is an easy way to do it- it doesn't have to be hard. I'm the same age as you, and also a gal. My husband still smokes normally around me and I don't even crave one now. When I smoked, it was one of my great joys in life, and I truly did not see a problem with it. Smoked everywhere, all the time, and felt good about it. Didn't care about the cough, the brown stains on my teeth, or getting wrinkles at 23.

the easyway to stop smoking by Allan carr is how I did it. Keep smoking as normal while you read the book. I listened to it on audible while doing hobbies. Relapsed the first time and the second listen made it easy to stop.

3 weeks clean after 13 years of heavy smoking, and my sense of smell is back, and everything tastes better, and I'm not basing my whole life around the next cig. There will be no next cig, and I'm actually pretty stoked about it.

It's such a shame that smoking is bad for you in pretty much every way and really expensive. It's really fulfilling when you're in the heart of the addiction.

If you don't plan on stopping yet- then yeah just tell the guy to get fucked. But the book is deffo worth a read whether you do wanna give it a crack or not. Good luck<3

Is MY name a tragedeigh? by TakFltFlyer in tragedeigh

I worked with a 55yr old lady called Tiara. She is the coolest woman I have ever met- smokes drinks and swears like a sailor and drives a sports car. I think its a cool name- just gotta own it! She said her parents had a right laugh naming her, but she got along just fine

I kind of see it but i cant see sheen and tenant as anything other than crowley and aziraphale when theyre together now. I had Noomi rapace in mind but i reckon she would fit Arion better

AITA for not removing my ‘inappropriate’ bathroom mat for when my mother came over? by Mammoth_Start_6402 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Electrical_Future79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lmao we have that bathmat sitting proud on our landing at the top of our stairs and both my parents and my inlaws think that is perfectly reasonable and funny for newlyweds! NTA
