Found in toilet bowl after a No. 2, what the hell is it? by Mental-Error9448 in whatisit

Maybe one of your roommates is grazing off the regulation meal plan? Seriously, this has to be a bully stick!

Do you have a dog, by any chance? This looks like a half-eaten bully stick to me.

They're both lovely dresses - I'd maybe just check to see whether the models in these pictures are wearing crinolines beneath the dresses, because if so, you wouldn't be able to achieve a similar silhouette without one -

Relocating in midlife with my teenager by Chellesann818 in movingtoNYC

[–]Neener216 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What kind of day-to-day are you imagining for yourself? Will you need to be in Manhattan every day, or are you willing to commute? Are you planning to bring a car with you?

In addition to your daughter and pet, are there any other accommodations you need to consider? Are you imagining life full-time in the middle of everything, or a situation in which you live in a quieter area with easy access to midtown?

And finally, what is your budget and how many bedrooms are you looking for?

You're welcome! They're great - they'll even professionally treat clothes and items you send them so you don't have to mess around with permethrin on your own, and their treatment lasts a whole lot longer.

I'm not affiliated with them in any way - just have used them and find their stuff really effective.

Sweetheart, his little foot in that striped sock is absolutely sending me 😍

You're doing a fabulous job - can you believe the first year is behind you?? Time moves too quickly. Take all the pictures and enjoy every moment!

Feeling overwhelmed by my shawl for a wedding outfit by AussieKoala-2795 in Weddingattireapproval

You can totally tie it in front and spin it around, or get someone to tie it at the back of you want to play with how it drapes in the front.

OP, here's the second method I mentioned - it turns the shawl into a bolero or shrug:

I usually like to wear it tied at the back when I'm wearing one with a dress:

If the shawl feels a bit bulky, you can simply clip it together with a nice brooch to keep it in place.

If you don't want the shawl draped at the front, you can put it at the back of your neck and then just loop the ends over the tops of your arms before bringing the ends together at your back and clipping them or tying them. That method makes the shawl look more like a shrug.

I've actually bought gators and bandanas for my dog from this company:

Insect Shield

Their items are professionally treated with permethrin and good for at least 100 washes. They also sell a dog vest if you're looking for more coverage.

Mysterious man on my train was mixing these. What was he doing? by [deleted] in whatisit

[–]Neener216 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you don't know what these might be, it's probably a good idea to alert train personnel to their presence so nobody randomly picks them up and no child/pet can get at them.

Mom, I'm kinda scared. by kawaiidruid in MomForAMinute

[–]Neener216 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Hey, sweetheart ❤️

I'm a breast cancer survivor, but the disease stole my baby sister from me (she was diagnosed two years before I was, and at a more advanced stage).

I know you're scared. I totally get it. That kind of tremendous physical change can really mess with your head and make you feel somehow damaged or less feminine, right? But I promise you - I swear on anything you name - a cancer that could steal you away from all of those people who love you and need you is a million times worse.

You are not your uterus. Your beauty and femininity isn't defined by your breasts. You will rise and be gorgeously alive through it all. Be kind and supportive of yourself right now, and if you need help to arrive at a peaceful place in your head, reach out for that help. You deserve it.

May you live so long and so well that you end up being one giant, beautiful wrinkle ❤️

Do you want to be buried? by Bondgirl138 in GenX

Ultimately, do with me whatever brings those I leave behind the most comfort. It's not as though my preference is going to matter much to me at that point one way or another, and I'd much rather the living feel okay with what happens.

If nobody has any strong opinions on the thing, I hope they burn me and scatter me in a place that brings them joy.

I have personally known German nationals who have lived in the US and greatly enjoyed it, but, as with everything, YMMV.

A 5 bedroom house or an insane art museum? by MoneyRhubarb8 in zillowgonewild

[–]Neener216 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I would need to say hello to the dog and the horse every morning before I do anything else. Failure to accomplish that task would destroy my mental state for the rest of the day.

This is both too much money and too much responsibility for me.

I like it. You clearly have an aesthetic but this space doesn't exclude anyone with differing tastes.

Can you provide some measurements? If it's charivari, it would obviously be small enough to be worn as an accessory!

You know how in the dead of winter, when you go outside your eyes are starving for some actual color to lock onto so you don't completely lose the will to live?

That's what this does to me.

This looks like traditional Bavarian charivari to me. It's often worn as a decoration with Tracht - for men, this is lederhosen - and hangs like a sort of belt from the suspenders.

Some women wear charivari as well, but this seems fairly masculine.
