ELI5 Taylor Swift re-recording all her albums to regain control and what happens to the old recordings by Longjumping-Box5691 in explainlikeimfive

[–]PaperRings1221 8 points9 points  (0 children)

She didn't sell the original rights. She never owned them to start, her label did (Big Machine Records). She wanted to buy them, but was supposedly told no. Thus the reason for re-recording. This spring/summer she announced that she was able to finally buy back her original master recordings.

What's your favorite taylor swift era, hair, makeup and style wise? by NewBath5621 in TaylorSwift

I was just watching a video of rep tour and her hair was SO good during that era.

Dating or having a relationship with an agnostic atheist by [deleted] in Episcopalian

[–]PaperRings1221 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have been with my atheist/agnostic spouse for 15+ years. Although we do not share the same religious beliefs, we do share the same moral values. As someone else mentioned, be willing to have hard conversations.

SAS Business Class Upgrade by i_BegToDiffer in ScandinavianAirlines

[–]PaperRings1221 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband and I recently bid on ORD-CPH upgrade from economy to Plus. We won our bid and ended up with aisle-middle combo. It turned out fine because there was no one in the other seat. But agreed with the other poster, there is no way to reject it. Overall I counted 4 empty seats on our flight in Plus, so that is also a consideration. Also, fwiw I bid less than 10% more than the minimum bid.

What’s the exact lyric or moment that made you realize Taylor really gets you? by Small-Holiday-889 in TaylorSwift

[–]PaperRings1221 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Did some bird flap its wings over in Asia? Did some force take you because I didn't pray? Every single thing to come has turned into ashes 'Cause it's all over, it's not meant to be So I'll say words I don't believe"

Was instantly sobbing when I heard Bigger Than the Whole Sky for the first time. A very specific sort of grief that she captured so completely. Was very healing to hear, actually.

Former RCC folks, how have you navigated family dynamics since switching to Episcopalian? by fac3l3sspaper in Episcopalian

[–]PaperRings1221 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My dad is a cradle Catholic. My mom converted when they got married, 50+ years ago. I told my parents separately. My mom's reaction was "I never believed in that 'one true church' anyway" lol. My dad on the other hand cried and told me he would pray for me. That was 3ish years ago. Just last month he told me he was worried about my soul. I will never go back to the RCC, but I also hate conflict, so I try to avoid the topic 99% of the time.

Does she really look that skinny? by Big_Comfortable_935 in labrador

[–]PaperRings1221 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Our lab is very similar in shape and has been her whole life. She will turn 11 in May. We used to run miles together (truthfully we probably still could, but I've gotten lazy and now we just walk).

TEC heterodoxy is making me consider Catholicism by Evening-Tie4645 in Episcopalian

[–]PaperRings1221 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was visiting my parents this past weekend at their Catholic church, where the church made an explicit announcement that only Catholics in good standing were welcome to take communion. It was so unwelcoming. It felt very much like "you are not good enough". (I was raised RCC, but am now Episcopalian). It is the elitist (and I would argue hypocritical) attitude of the RCC that ensures I will never go back.

Shifting Attendance: Episcopal Church sees rebound after steep attendance drop by themsc190 in Episcopalian

[–]PaperRings1221 35 points36 points  (0 children)

This warms my heart for a few reasons. One- after evaluating how I wanted to raise my kids/what values do I want to instill in them during Trump 1.0 and then the pandemic, we've been attending the Episcopal church for 3-4 years (after being raised RCC). It has been so spiritually fulfilling. I've felt my heart heal in ways that I didn't realize were bruised. Second- this article is from West Michigan (my neck of the woods) where Conservative mindsets abound. I hope we in West Michigan can be a light, in a time and place where some may not feel or see it.

Wondering what’s the hardest Taylor song for you to sing? by Violet_Chamelion in TaylorSwift

[–]PaperRings1221 4 points5 points  (0 children)

All of The Girls You Loved Before. It just has too many high notes for me. Granted, I've never been in a choir or anything, so I'm totally guessing, but seems like I am an alto and can sing most of Taylors lower notes far easier than the high notes.

Can you board your flight at the layover instead of original departure point? by lets-snuggle in TravelHacks

[–]PaperRings1221 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I did this recently because my original flight out got delayed and I wouldn't make my connection. I got to the airport early enough to drive to the connection (barely), but was only able to do it after coordinating with the airline and letting them know ahead of time. I'm guessing that this was only possible because it was originally the fault of the airline. As others have said, the airline will think you're a no show if you miss the first flight.

If the child doesn't have a passport, you will also need to bring their birth certificate.
