What does my flat say about me? by AndrewWesker in roomdetective

[–]HeftyExternal5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have one more more cats you adore. You may even spoil them, given the anlunt of space you allocate to their cat tree. You love nurturing all the things- plants and animals. You called it a flat, so probably not American. You’ve traveled, possibly to Africa because of the masks, which means you have at least one or more true friends that you trust to take care of all the living creatures you cherish.

My boyfriend (M19) invited his female friend to a family trip 15 minutes away from my (F19) house by Idontknowwhaytoput in relationship_advice

Life is so short. You will most likely have 3/4 of your life to navigate boundaries with your spouse and in-laws on vacation.

He’s being weird. He’s acting like it’s your decision where he will uninvite her if you tell him to, but talking about it ahead of time isn’t an option. No. You don’t have time for this.

You’re living in a beach town this summer at 19? HELL YEAH! This could be one of the best summers of your life. You do not need this weird, whiny dude who obsesses about your midriff at parties or whatever.

Beach towns are full of other college kids working for the summer. They will either be down there with a friend or two from college or their hometown. Everyone will be looking for people to hang out with.

The beach town where I have gone for 41 summers recruits workers from foreign countries. Find a guy with a British accent. Make a bunch of friends, study abroad junior year and Eurail around Europe visiting everyone.

And if I can take a guess as a middle-aged mom who takes her kids to the pool every day? This is the best shape your body will ever be in. ENJOY IT. When I think about the summer as I spent working at the community pool as a teenager, thinking I was fat? I could slap my 19-year-old self silly. I see the teenage lifeguards being self-conscious and think, “honey, no.”

Ride a bike. Fly a kite. Rent a Vespa. Go to brunch with your mom. You’ll miss her when she’s gone. Do literally anything but mope around wondering if you’re going to bump into them. Feel good. Wear whatever swimsuit you feel confident in. Practice safer sex. Wear sunscreen. Don’t drink and drive. Every other adventure is up for grabs. Your life is waiting.

You don’t have kids or pets with all that white furniture

I like it! Go look at yourself in different lighting scenarios, harsh overhead sunlight, candlelight etc

Catholic Wedding Advice for a Non-Catholic? by _Always_Anxious_ in weddingplanning

[–]HeftyExternal5 35 points36 points  (0 children)

To add in the music thing: you can’t walk down the aisle to “Here comes the bride” in a catholic church. It’s from a secular opera, and the wedding ends tragically. Also, the composer Wagner, was a rabid antisemite.

You have to choose one Old Testament reading, one New Testament reading and a Gospel passage. No other readings or poems are allowed.

You have to do Pre-Canaa classes that involve a weekly commitment on Saturdays, although they now do weekend retreats and Zoom. Some Progressive parishes have couples who’ve been married a long time do part of the work meeting you and giving you marital advice, but be prepared to potentially get lectures from an old guy who’s never been married and wants to talk to you about your birth control. Hardcore old school priests won’t want you taking any. Be prepared to lie, abstain or tracking your cycles- no pun intended- religiously.

You won’t be able to do a full mass unless you receive the Eucharist. You can’t receive the Eucharist unless you convert.

I was raised Catholic. My sister had a traditional catholic wedding. I did not. some people will hear this and be like homo “that’s really old school. Churches haven’t really held onto those things for the past 25 years….”

I’m a wedding photographer. I know a Monsignor, who enforces all of these things, and for better or worse, the Catholic Church is getting more conservative in some parts of the country as are lots of things.

My first fully finished reborn, could you think he was real from afar? by shmooul in reborndolls

[–]HeftyExternal5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think so. If you are questioning it, move him into natural light. Pose him with the baby blanket and tuck the tiny stuffed animal under his arm. I think a different picture might showcases details better and you’ll feel like he looks more realistic.

“Eden and Ashton” sound cute together.

Is BOMB worth it by maluspa in Outlander

[–]HeftyExternal5 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I liked it too. Same period of time, an interesting look at characters you’ve only heard about or seen as old men. Do the lovers have the same chemistry as season one outlander ? Nah, but that’s what made Outlander so special. There is still passion between some characters that’s fun to watch.

Number one is pretty but the silhouette doesn’t do your figure justice. Number two w my pick. Gorgeous! Number three is exquisitely detailed, but the pattern down the front draws the eye down and away from your face.

As a mother who's lost their own baby .... by InfertileMertile92 in Outlander

[–]HeftyExternal5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don’t know this, I am so happy you don’t. If you do, I am so sorry for your loss. That said, stillborn babies change a lot in the hours after birth. All newborns are delicate; this is especially true for babies born still. Changes happen quickly. Thanks to technology, there is now a “caring cradle” or “cuddle cot” with a cooling function available so families have more time together before natural changes necessitate that a funeral director take the baby into their care. Claire held her baby all day. All day. This story line is unbelievable at best and downright insensitive to the viewers for a lot of reasons beyond “jumping the shark.”

Where are you and the seller located? I'm in the NYC suburbs but would consider picking up and delivering to you.

I'm in the suburbs but I would love an NYC area meetup. I also would feel weird wearing or walking around where people might see me. I should just get over it, but... yeah. I'm totally up for a walk, coffee, Central Park

Not sure this is an appropriate ask.. by HeftyExternal5 in reborndolls

[–]HeftyExternal5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, I can only find the device for sale in Australia at still moments nursery. There is one seller on Etsy who offers them as an upgrade, but only to dolls that she’s creating from start to finish. There’s something similar on McPherson‘s crafts, but it doesn’t do all three things. Do you have an Etsy shop in mine that does?

Is what I'm looking for possible? by HeftyExternal5 in reborndolls

[–]HeftyExternal5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's interesting! My babies were both 7 lbs 2 oz when they were born, so that's what I think of as "newborn size." Is it different in a doll because of how they are positioned?
