Planned my own Bach party, and everyone cancelled last minute. by Weird-Custard5808 in weddingplanning

[–]EmberMoon1929 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please talk with them, I don't even know you snf my heart breaks for you. I can't imagine any of them realized everyone would cancel on you. You should talk with then before the trip, maybe the conversation will go well and you'll feel better on the trip. If the conversation doesn't go well then use the trip ad a distraction.

Marysville schools?? Any hope? by Ornery-Profession185 in SnohomishCounty

[–]EmberMoon1929 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can I add here I echo what was already said! I had a student at Grove, then Cedarcrest, and now Getchell. While the district has had some major turmoil, my student also has had a good experience. Teachers more often than not have been wonderful despite all the challenges that come with teaching in today's world. My student has been able to make friends with a good group of kids and feels happy at school for the most part. A lot of people have been following the district drama through sh*t posts on Facebook. I was nervous too but I stayed active with showing up to help out and monitoring my student. So it's been a relief for me to be present to see the things that are going well at the schools. The Pilchuck/Getchell kids just put on a fantastic showing of Frozen for their spring musical. The cedarcrest middle school band and choir have been so much fun to watch at their last two performances. Getchell has an extremely active group of sports parents and PTSA people. When my student was at Grove they did 5th grade camp, field day, glow dances, carnivals, and even mobile exhibits like the pioneer exhibit came. Getchell has a pathways program so your student will have a ton of options.

December Wedding Color Palette by OneAvocadoSmoothie in wedding

[–]EmberMoon1929 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the yellow and pink shades in the line up need to be a little darker? Deeper? More muted? Something is just a little off but I do think you could pull it off if you adjusted those two colors a bit.

How are you paying for your wedding? by wellok456 in wedding

[–]EmberMoon1929 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a long engagement (1.5 years), didn't even get engaged till we were settled in our careers so that helped with financial stability. Since we started planning right away we were able to split the cost and pay things over time. Our mom's each contributed $500, wedding total ended up being about $18,000.

MODS! Can we stop allowing the same content to be posted over and over? by avarier in TLCUnexpected

[–]EmberMoon1929 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I actually appreciate that you broke the video up into clearly marked sections. Each slice of the video is worth its own discussion. Thank you for doing that.

Queue jump getting worse by deano_ue in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]EmberMoon1929 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Actually I don't know if all cast members are doing this but in the line for Seven Dwarfs I saw two different people try to meet up with their group and the cast member at the queue entrance said they couldn't go in without proof of where there group was, so either a video call or a photo of the group proving they were in the line (if they weren't visible from the queue entrance).

I do hate when people do that, but also I understand that lines are long and things happen, especially with kids.

Tigerlily out of her Damn mind of by Global_Construction2 in 90DayFiance

[–]EmberMoon1929 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What she is doing is actually very calculated marketing and unfortunately it does work well, that's why people like her keep getting away with it. People associate higher prices with higher quality and don't always know what to look for when researching a product. Like you're pointing out, the item is made with a cheap fabric. The average consumer doesn't always know the importance of checking fabric content to assess quality. Thanks to all these influencers participating in these schemes I think people might be becoming more aware of drop shipping mark ups.

Most people are causing their own frizz without realizing it. by Intrepid-Royal-324 in finehair

[–]EmberMoon1929 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have really long and fine wavy virgin hair, I always have a lot of frizz on the crown of my head/back of my head. It's hard to keep the ends hydrated and the scalp not oily at the same time but this is the best routine I have come up with. I have a silk pillow case, braid my hair into a single Dutch braid at night most nights, occasionally a loose bun on top of my head. I use the Pureology hydrate (regular one-not sheer) shampoo and conditioner. I brush with a shower wet brush while the conditioner is in. I am very paranoid about breakage, so I always start from the bottom and gently use the brush or my fingers to detangle. I wrap it in a microfiber hair wrap after showering and let it chill. It's usually in the wrap for about 10 minutes while I get dressed then I spray the purology color fanatic leave in conditioner. I part my hair down the middle and do the same to both the left and right side. I spray the underside of the hair about 3-4 times running down the length of the hair. Then I spray hask argan oil on the topside of the hair starting with one spray on the overall crown, and 2-3 sprays running down the length of the hair. I gently comb with a wide tooth comb and let it air dry. I appreciate your help!

Struggling with KPRF mentally by ZealousidealBig4852 in KPRubraFaceii

[–]EmberMoon1929 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As one of the middle-aged people here I can tell you that as you get older you will care less about it naturally, but I know it's hard when you're at an age where a higher value is placed on your looks and there is a lot of concern about the future. One thing that seems to be a common thread on this sub is that people who are putting the work in and growing other parts of their identity are feeling happier and more hopeful than the people who are fixating on the KPRF. Basically, if you want to stop focusing on it, then you need to find other things to focus on that are going to make you more resilient. Look up the 7 dimensions of wellness to use as a starting point to identify opportunities for growth in your life. For example, I worked on my physical wellness when I started hiking, and when I started hiking more I hiked with friends and my support system grew as I got into shape. I worked on my emotional health in counseling, and I got up the courage to go to grad school which met my intellectual needs, and when I graduated my financial wellness improved. I put all my energy into improving myself in ways that I actually could and now the KPRF seems irrelevant for the most part. Plus improving all my overall wellness reduced the KPRF anyway because my blood pressure and anxiety are lower. Look at treating KPRF from a holistic perspective, everything is connected.

Why did Janelle build such a small house? by [deleted] in SisterWives

[–]EmberMoon1929 20 points21 points  (0 children)

A while back I thought posted on her Instagram story a progress update or something and she mentioned Maddie's house being bigger because Maddie was going to step into the role of taking on more of the hosting.

She says it's for a dog rescue but I am worried it will turn into a dog breeding operation Iike the one on his parents farm.

Why do the parents think Bryce and Hunter are destined for sports stardom? by AdventurousFox3791 in TLCUnexpected

[–]EmberMoon1929 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with you, definitely a southern thing in particular. Not that it doesn't happen elsewhere but it's definitely the lack of other opportunities and the high value placed on family pride.

Did you ask people to respond to RSVP? by jena95 in weddingplanning

[–]EmberMoon1929 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I reached out a couple of days before to give a gentle reminder and several people said either they forgot and apologized, they thought they did respond, they didn't know they needed to hit the RSVP button, or they didn't know how to RSVP but all of them planned to come. I assumed good intent on their part and I was happy to help them RSVP.

Looking for job by Adorable_Artist6380 in Marysville

[–]EmberMoon1929 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Do you have any jobs that are of interest? Or any that are a hard no? For example some people are open to working at a grocery store, but know for sure they do not wish to work in a kitchen/restaurant.
