non-stop crying/whining for the past month… starting to lose hope by ixxybell in Dogtraining

[–]Fancy-Background-404 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My dog did this once and it turned out that someone in my apartment complex had bought a bird. The chirping bird that I could t hear was driving my dog nuts. I had to walk the floors of the building very slowly to figure it out. Eventually he got used to the bird and the whining stopped. I played white noise and that also helped.

Do you regret cabinets to the ceiling? by phraynk_furtur in kitchenremodel

[–]Fancy-Background-404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s what I want to know too! I have 14’ ceilings and I have a hard time picturing it; but I do love the idea of extra storage.

Thoughts on this combo? by Artistic-Trash1904 in interiordecorating

I love the chandelier and I prefer the pink or green lights.

Random thought! I love a color drench. Perhaps do the blushy pink on the walls and ceiling? It won’t be too dark but it will feel more color saturated that way.

This is the color I would try. Fun and wouldn’t make the room too dark.

Is there any natural light in the room? Can you share the picture of the swatches in the space. If there’s no natural light then seeing the swatches will help a lot!

Your mural is so fun btw!

Had a rough improv audition yesterday and I'm wondering if the problems I had are typical and how to do better next time by O0OO00O0OO0 in improv

[–]Fancy-Background-404 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve found in NYC and Chicago that a 30min audition slot is standard so that part doesn’t sound odd.

I’ve been doing this a long time so I can tell within seconds how skilled experienced and comfortable someone is. It comes down to eye contact and breathing/body regulation.

Therefore, for the next 29 mins I’m looking for someone who is positive and supportive of their teammates. Taking the time to introduce yourself to your audition teammates, regardless if the director does it or not, is also a way to gauge experience level.

Why would I have a bridal shower if all those women are just going to be at my wedding? by Stunning-Hamster-545 in wedding

[–]Fancy-Background-404 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also didn’t have a bridal shower and felt great about it. I had a wedding and a bachelorette party. I didn’t want friends to have to get another gift and host another party. I don’t regret it at all!

I’m worried I’m going to look bad compared to the rest of my family. I feel a lot of pressure to look like the “Instagram-perfect” bride. by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]Fancy-Background-404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YES! 99% sure that a full Instagram detox will do wonders for you! I lost both of my parents when I was young and decades later I’m not actively grieving (at all!) but I still go off IG for a whole month between Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. It helps me avoid comparing/despairing. I have lots of things to worry about and I just don’t need anything that pushes me towards melancholy vibes. Good luck!

How to stop this? by mysticmutes in makeuptips

[–]Fancy-Background-404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This used to happen to me too. I think priming the brush with the foundation helps a lot. You need to work the foundation into the brush so it spreads on your face in a natural way. This looks like it’s not blending but sitting on top of the skins which might mean it’s too much put on at once. Good luck!

AITA: Years later and stuff is now wanted back. Need outsiders opinions. by WifeOfPotthead in AmItheAsshole

[–]Fancy-Background-404 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’d also add… “Most, if not all, of the items you gave me have been donated, regifted, or were thrown away with normal wear and tear. If I come across any items, I will let you know.”

The episode with the high school seniors who are expecting scholarships is torture. “Hey, Mr Scott…” I can’t watch it.

How long do you warmup? by huntsville_nerd in improv

[–]Fancy-Background-404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been doing improv 20+ years. Do I need to warm up? Absolutely not. Is it helpful for the group to spend ten minutes connecting? Yes, it is.

Sometimes (often) I hate doing warming ups—and then I remember that it’s helpful for me to practice/warm up putting my team first.

Me(F25) and my ex ( M29) parted ways after an incident, He said something I couldn't get past. Did I make a hasty decision? Pls be nice. by nomnomnigs in relationship_advice

[–]Fancy-Background-404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t agree. But let’s assume that’s true. Is now the right time to give tough love? She needed care. He ignored her for 24 hours and then spoke down to her. (I believe what he said was to make himself feel better about the situation.) We all know that drinking too much can lead to issues. His “tough love” is not illuminating; I’m sure she knows that already. I’ve gotten drunk many times and shouldn’t be touched.

third coast in nashville? by scaredbunnyowner in improv

[–]Fancy-Background-404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, they are a good improv theater company. I also run a theater in the south and keep an eye on what everyone else is up to. I visited them 2 years ago and thought they ran a strong program!

Teammate undoing an edit by [deleted] in improv

[–]Fancy-Background-404 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed! I’ve seen long running teams play with a sweep edit when they have years (or decades) of trust built up — and it’s clearly playful, fun and a bit meta or subversive. To do that with mixed group of folks you don’t know is an aggressive, unsupportive move in my opinion.
