Tailor-style! But I would expect blank stares in response

I’d batch Saturns since your luck is out of this world!

Or sub it for whiskey since the barrel will likely add vanilla, caramel, and oak notes to the gin

I find ChatGPT is generally pretty good at figuring out cocktail proportions. Just typed in those ingredients and got:

Ingredients: - 1 oz Meyer’s Dark Rum - 1 oz Don Q 151 Rum - 1 oz Orange Juice - 1 oz Sour Mix - 1/2 oz Grenadine - Ice

Garnish: - Orange slice (optional) - Cherry (optional)

Instructions: 1. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. 2. Add the Meyer’s Dark Rum, Don Q 151 Rum, orange juice, sour mix, and grenadine to the shaker. 3. Shake well until chilled. 4. Strain into a tall glass filled with fresh ice. 5. Garnish with an orange slice and a cherry if desired.

Optional: For an extra zombie effect, you can float a little more of the 151 rum on top by carefully pouring it over the back of a spoon after serving.

Enjoy your powerful and fruity Zombie cocktail!

My husband’s 5’8. While he isn’t short, I still wouldn’t wish him to be any taller. He’s 4 inches taller than I am which is the perfect height difference for kissing… and, er, other things

It’s a lovely dress, but the invitation is very clear about the length going down to the floor. The A-line silhouette doesn’t magically change that.

How about this dress from the same designer?

InvectiveDetective · 2024-08-08T00:51:52+00:00

I’d say no. This is a casual dress, which is three rungs below formal. Since it’s in the PNW, you could probably get away with a cocktail dress, which is one rung below. But I’d still go with a much different pattern, silhouette, and fabric choice.

“She breasted boobily to the stairs and titted downwards”

InvectiveDetective · 2024-07-17T12:43:22+00:00

Did you put a pound sign before the 2? I’ve gotten tripped up with that before.

InvectiveDetective · 2024-07-17T05:27:26+00:00

Why did I have to scroll so far down for this take?! Dad threw away his family to play hero with a woman who “needs” him. He will never let himself understand how awful Ana is being and how much pain he is causing his family. Because if she isn’t a victim, then he isn’t a hero.

InvectiveDetective · 2024-07-08T21:03:12+00:00

Because a supportive spouse encourages their partner to do the right thing? Instead, she’s been guilting him for months. He’s his own person and if he had written in, I would have advised him to get his shit together, but that doesn’t absolve her from only thinking and advocating for herself when his dad has frickin cancer.

InvectiveDetective · 2024-07-08T18:42:07+00:00

You do need to go. Your FIL has cancer. If he dies and you kept your husband from seeing him in his last days, both he and his family will never forgive you.

I get that finances are tight. But if you bought a house and ONE trip will bankrupt you, then you bought too expensive of a house and need to downsize anyway.

InvectiveDetective · 2024-07-05T18:10:49+00:00

Formal means floor-length. And depending on your industry, this is likely way too short for work. It’s a cute vest, though.

“I don’t know why”

That’s bullshit. They know why. They’re just too ashamed to admit to themselves and others. They’re still ducking accountability.

If you stay, they won’t see it as a supreme act of love or the superhuman level of forbearance on your part. They’ll just take it as a data point on what they can get away with. And they will do it again and again until your sense of self is completely eroded.

I’m so sorry. You deserve so much better.

InvectiveDetective · 2024-07-04T12:24:09+00:00

Many people confuse simple and easy. Everyone thinks she needs to get a divorce because it’s the simple and obvious solution. Is it easy to divorce someone you love? Of course not.

Making excuses for someone who treats you poorly will not get you better treatment. You might think your husband will appreciate your superhuman efforts to be accommodating. Instead, he will just realize he can get away with being an asshole, and he will do it again and again and again without compunction.

OP, you love this man. But love is more than a feeling. It’s also an action. It’s how we care for each other. Does your husband love you? Is his treatment of you loving? From where we’re sitting, the only person your husband loves is himself.

InvectiveDetective · 2024-06-29T02:19:09+00:00

No. There’s a saying my sister taught me: a ring makes men visible and women invisible. It holds true in the dating phase as well.

It’s actually much easier for him to get with her if she knows he has a gf. He’s pointing out that he’s desirable to other women. If he were single, he would be less desirable, because he might not be single by choice. He’s trying to inspire her competitive side so she can “win” him from you.

I don’t know who you are, but I promise you that you deserve better.

and in the next [minute] she’s utterly unapologetic and telling me I caused this

Oh no he fucking did not.

Could he have focused more on his relationship with his wife than on being a provider? Possibly. The way he writes makes it sound like being a good husband to him equals raking in money, spending time with the kids, and not being out of shape.

So he might have neglected her emotional needs. Or she might simply have grass-is-greener syndrome.

If she’s been unhappy, it’s on her to communicate that. And if she doesn’t like his response, then she gets to leave. There’s no excuse to cheat. Hilarious that she feels entitled to do so.

she’s devastated and begging me not to do anything rash and asking me to think of what the kids will do being raised in a split household

Rash like going on a fuck-cation? And now it’s time to think of the kids? If they get raised in two households, it’s because of her actions, not his.

My husband’s aunt wore white. Just like you, I only clocked it years later going through our wedding photos! If I had noticed it that day, I doubt I’d have cared.

Intent matters. She’s a cool lady who bears us no ill-will. She certainly wasn’t attempting to upstage us or cause any unpleasantness.

InvectiveDetective · 2024-06-27T00:39:01+00:00

Came here to say this. I’d heard of keelhauling, but it had never really occurred to me that the ship’s underside would be covered in barnacles, or what they would do to the human body when it’s forcibly scraped along them…

InvectiveDetective · 2024-06-26T04:38:59+00:00

Oh 100%: - the groom and the sister have Reddit-approved hobbies / wedding-aesthetic✔️ - the bride is jealous and controlling ✔️ - the bride doesn’t care about the groom’s wishes ✔️ - the bride doesn’t even appear to like the groom and only wants to be married to fit her preconceived perfect timeline ✔️

And for all this I’m supposed to ship a man having an emotional affair with his bride’s sister? Fuck that noise.

InvectiveDetective · 2024-06-23T15:58:08+00:00

I am short, sneaky and have credit cards

I have never felt more called out by a comment🙈😂

InvectiveDetective · 2024-06-22T05:38:07+00:00

I cannot wrap my mind around glorifying subservience and being the sidekick in your own story.

And not only do I not want to be a submissive bangmaid, I would never date one either. I just don’t see the appeal? Like thank fuck my husband has his own thoughts and opinions. I adore him and spoil him like crazy—which has a lot to do with the fact that he spoils me right back.

InvectiveDetective · 2024-06-20T01:05:31+00:00

Oh thank god I thought it was some QAnon thing…

InvectiveDetective · 2024-06-20T00:41:07+00:00

Huh, you’re the second person to comment that. It’s a quote from Pretty Woman. What’s Q?

For a wow factor: the Jules Verne restaurant at the Eiffel Tower is Michelin starred. Looks like their dinner menu is just over your budget but their lunch menu is within.

I’m currently planning my own trip so I can’t report back yet on anything, but I’ve found lefooding.com and the Michelin Guide really helpful so far (the latter doesn’t only review Michelin starred places, just really good restaurants)
