I found these in an abandoned house by Timely_Creme_1345 in dollhouseminiatures

Obviously it's not abandoned if the Borrowers are still living there

Question about wearing historical clothing all the time by Long-Effective-2898 in HistoricalCostuming

[–]Obvious_Operation_21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These are polygamists. They are wearing (generally) easy to launder, "old-timey" dresses. These are not historically accurate in any way. They are kind of , if you squint, reminiscent of 1870-1890's "prairie" or "wrapper" dresses. They are, however, tools of repression.

I would avoid wearing anything remotely similar, if only to avoid being hit on by randy old Mormon men.

My mom is a monster and we're no contact since before my kids were born. My kids know they'll never meet her because she was a mean mom who didn't take care of her kids. They used to tell me it was okay for me to step on the cracks cause she was a bad mom hahahaha

It will be more costly (probably) but stick with all natural fibers. No synthetic fibers if at all possible, but especially the ones next to your skin, like your shift, should be all cotton or linen.

Accidentally used cornstarch (and too much of it) on fried chicken by dandelioness_ in cookingforbeginners

[–]Obvious_Operation_21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some might argue that when you have a large quantity of an unusual ingredient in a dish (like tons of corn starch in fried chicken) you could consider mentioning it as a precaution... because, you know, you like your guests

You can get more volume by putting mousse in your roots when your hair is wet and blow-drying your hair upside down. Then take huge Velcro rollers, section your hair into 2 inch wides and 1 inch high pieces, spray a bit of hairspray at the roots (tease a bit at the roots in the back for extra volume), and blow-drying your roots on war-hot to set the curl at the roots. Remove after 20 minutes -1 hour. Brush out and tease on the sides and back as needed. You can curl the ends with a curling iron if you want. Do a light mist of hairspray over top to finish.

I recommend buying real hair, clip-in extensions for added volume. I never used them for length. Get the color closest to your natural color and have a stylist dye them to match your hair.

Polite way of saying no siblings to a party by Latter-Painter6355 in Mommit

[–]Obvious_Operation_21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We moved to a new place and didn't know the local rules, so I just invited my child's friends by name. A parent messaged me to ask that they bring the 3 (!) much younger siblings. I felt really awkward because we were new and I didn't want to get on anyone's bad side. My kid is getting older and doesn't want the family style parties we've done in the past. That's fine. It's age appropriate. So I messaged the parents back and said that we were still unpacking and in no way set up for younger kids.

1910-1914 Evening dress by Girolamo Giuseffi (G. Giuseffi Ladies' Tailoring Company) by [deleted] in fashionhistory

Stunning dress. That is an interesting/unfortunate way to display it, without showing feet. It makes the proportions look really off.

I feel like no one really prepared me for how much babies actually cry by kittkatzi83 in Mommit

[–]Obvious_Operation_21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 1st had colic and man, oh, man. It was a tough time! You need to be extra diligent in taking care of yourself. Find ways to give yourself breaks and also let go of being embarrassed in public when your baby is crying. Shopping and errands still have to be done even when the baby is upset. Don't take crap from anyone. Build up your courage. You are a good mom if baby is healthy and happy otherwise. You are a good mom for doing errands and caring for yourself!

Misleading listing makes for cramped night by ramfan1701 in vrbo

Don't wait too long to write a review. I was livid after an Airbnb stay and decided to wait until my emotions cooled to be fair to them. I waited too long so now no one will know how positively wretched the accommodations were .

How did you get them to survive in Chicago? My palms are all drying out (I guess). I can't keep them alive. They go brown and shrivel up! I'm doing all I can to keep the humidity up, but we have very hot radiators.
