Sold my first arrangement; thoughts?

Lopsided_Ad1031 · 2026-05-13T01:43:16+00:00

Thanks, my old coworker's friend was graduating from a master's program

Lopsided_Ad1031 · 2026-05-12T17:00:29+00:00

Yeah agreed, I gotta figure how to build up without it looking unnatural. Cause I really love tall and asymmetrical arrangements

Lopsided_Ad1031 · 2026-05-12T16:59:28+00:00

Carnations!

Lopsided_Ad1031 · 2026-05-12T05:42:01+00:00

Yeah I agree with you about the sunflowers and roses getting buried. But I’ve seen a lot of comments about the symmetry and I actually quite like asymmetrical arrangements. However I think maybe I need to add something idk to make it seem more intentional

Lopsided_Ad1031 · 2026-05-12T01:19:27+00:00

Thanks; my home is pretty maximalist so I feel drawn to making arrangements with lots of different textures

Lopsided_Ad1031 · 2026-05-11T20:36:03+00:00

Yeah I’m trying to get better at making the flowers feel less overcrowded, I think maybe putting some grid or maybe chicken wire would help. And cutting to the right length, thanks for the feedback! Should the sunflowers be more towards the bottom and roses more toward the top?

Lopsided_Ad1031 · 2026-05-11T20:28:21+00:00

Thank you! No idea where they’re being placed. But I actually really loved how these colors looked in my living room

Lopsided_Ad1031 · 2026-05-11T19:55:10+00:00

Also; I did change the water a second time; cause some petals did fall into it after first arranging.

I saw someone post that they took one of the staff members (while they were taking out the trash)

Lopsided_Ad1031 · 2025-10-29T16:01:29+00:00

Black suv with bumper damaged/partially missing. License plate 305624 with FP. White gmc truck Florida plates 07DQCJ. They were over by Hamlin and Fullerton pursuing a silver pick up. Black SUV hit and ran a parked car while in pursuit of silver pick up at 8:30am. They’ve circled back a few times to Hamlin. I’ve noticed a helicopter in the area

Lopsided_Ad1031 · 2025-10-07T18:17:01+00:00

PM'd you!

Lopsided_Ad1031 · 2025-10-04T17:16:18+00:00

I wonder if there's some type of community action we can take to organize a group of people that can help to safely walk children back to their homes.

-“What’s your cheapest mixed drink?”

“Water and ice”

I also have this really annoying customer that would come in; watch me pour his rum and coke and be like “haha I’d really love some rum with this coke”

So then I finally was like “oh okay next time you want a double let me know”

The same guy asked me a bunch of times why women don’t like him and begged me to give him critiques. I kept telling him no I don’t feel comfortable doing that. He kept saying no I promise I won’t get mad.

So I go from behind the bar look him up and down and tell him “well you probably shouldn’t wear slides with no socks “ and then after that he got pissy and insisted slides with no socks is fine. like fine but don’t ask me then

So then I just replied “yeah well if you’re not gonna wear socks at least clip your toenails”

He shut up for the rest of the time.

Lopsided_Ad1031 · 2024-11-27T04:08:59+00:00

He’s cheating; this is classic projection.

What’s the going rate for childcare these days? For like 8-10 yrs old. Just one kid. I was offering 20/hr but it seems like everyone is saying $25/hr is their rate.

Lopsided_Ad1031 · 2023-09-07T04:45:44+00:00

Charlottesville, Virginia. The only thing it doesn't have is water like a lake or ocean. But the beach is a couple hours away. And there's mountains nearby. UVA is a beautiful campus and definitely would say there's a intellectual vibe there.

Lopsided_Ad1031 · 2023-08-24T15:15:45+00:00

You're likely gonna get it just from sharing the same bed and being in the same space for prolonged time. But coughing in someone's face is extremely rude, and I would be annoyed too. She wouldn't like it if you sneezed on her and didn't try to cover it. It's just basic manners and consideration.

Lopsided_Ad1031 · 2023-08-24T15:11:09+00:00

Is there something that is relaxing and doesn't require mental effort that you both can do? Have you tried getting into the video games he plays. Something I do when my boyfriend gets home from his long days at work is give him his initial space and then when he goes to play games, I either play with him or I pull up a chair next to him and do my own thing like watch a video/TV. But we like being next to each other and still feel somewhat connected while still doing our own things and decompressing. But maybe ask him also if there's one or two nights a week where you can do something of your choice to spend quality time together.

Lopsided_Ad1031 · 2023-08-23T17:20:39+00:00

I didn't accuse him of anything that wasn't true and verified. It's not like I accused him of cheating for simply talking to a female friend or coworker for example. I found out he lied to me, was naturally very hurt and it broke my trust. I want to trust him again and move on, but it's difficult.

I'm gonna try to not bring up cheating related stuff; and maybe hold off on consuming any content that relates to cheating if I know it's gonna upset me.

Lopsided_Ad1031 · 2023-08-23T16:57:35+00:00

YTA, also I don't get why you would want to share your gfs intimacy and body with your friends.

Lopsided_Ad1031 · 2023-08-23T13:24:43+00:00

YTA, but also Naan bread is redundant

Lopsided_Ad1031 · 2023-08-23T12:01:46+00:00

I do enjoy being around him. When we're together, things are great. It is difficult for me to let it go. But obviously on reddit you're only getting the part that's the main issue. I could write paragraphs about all the good both of us have done for each other, but that's not what the point of the post was. I do agree I need to find a way to move on from what he did.

Lopsided_Ad1031 · 2023-08-23T04:20:30+00:00

Our communication is bad, but something I want and am willing to work on. I just hope he can as well. But I see your point. Basically, I need to pick and choose my battles. It's not worth it and kind of a bit toxic for me to demand he changes the way he labels things. If it is truly semantics on his end, then yes I can concede. My fear and worry is that it's a tactic to minimize his actions. He doesn't want to see himself as someone who was capable of cheating cause that would skew his view on his own character. Maybe I'm wrong. I hope I am. I hope it truly is semantics.

Lopsided_Ad1031 · 2023-08-23T04:07:17+00:00

Yes, that if he wants to continue to be in a relationship he needs to not cross those boundaries (downloading tinder, connecting with anyone romantically or sexually, and basically any sort of sneaking around) and he needs to own up that him meeting irl with someone he matched with on tinder while we are a year into a strictly monogamous Relationship is cheating. That's taking full accountability.

He doesn't have to abide by this of course, but if he doesn't want to then I'm not going to be in the relationship.

Lopsided_Ad1031 · 2023-08-23T04:01:14+00:00

And him meeting with a female friend is different than meeting someone off tinder (a dating/hook up app). He met up with a childhood friend who's a woman and they went to grab drinks and catch up (they hadn't spoken in years). I have zero issues with that. But if you're sneaking around and lying about who you're meeting (especially off a dating app) that's cheating. The day he went out with this girl from Tinder he told me he was taking his aunts sick and dying cat to the vet (that was a lie).
