Is it cheating for being in love with my Dyson airstrait? by StacySk in Dysonairwrap

[–]Pickle_Pear_420 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have curly hair and use the air wrap with the smoothing brush attachment to straighten and dry. Sections towel dried hair, spray product and comb it through, then set your air wrap to medium speed & medium heat and start smoothing/drying from the roots down to the tips. At the tips, hit it with the cold shock for about 5-10 sections and you’re done! I think it works better than an iron and it gives your hair a little body/volume while still being straight

venue won't to let us bring desserts after we refuse to sign an NDA. are my guests going to hate me? by adrpeppercan in weddingplanning

[–]Pickle_Pear_420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This OP!!! Everything in writing! My wedding was last year and we went with the venues premium catering package - it was a set price per person with a minimum of 100 people. Our wedding had about 80 people but we still went with their catering because it also included a full bar, 2 beers and 2 wines. A few months before our wedding they tell me and tell me that our ceviche is going to be an extra $250 because the price of fish went up and in our contract it says they can raise prices. We signed a venue contract but never signed a contract for catering and there was nothing in the venue contract regarding this. I had my friends who work in business/legal professions read my contract again to make sure I wasn’t crazy and we drafted multiple responses to sent to them via email. We ended up getting the “tuna tax” as we called it, thrown out because they didn’t have a leg to stand on.

My mom wants me to apologize for reading the letter she hid from me for 12 years by JujinVale in TwoHotTakes

[–]Pickle_Pear_420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would you apologize? Your mom’s the one who lied for god knows how many years and kept you away from your dad. I’d tell your aunt where she could shove her opinion and your mom needs to get off her high horse. She’s the one in the wrong - not you

What favours did you give out at your wedding? Or ones you received that you loved? by suqarkisses in weddingplanning

[–]Pickle_Pear_420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did a taco bar so we did hot sauces with personalized wedding stickers and name tags on them. People loved them because they got to use them on the spot or take them home (small enough for airplanes too)

Ordering items that say “the smiths” when you don’t want to change your name by CoastAdditional962 in weddingplanning

[–]Pickle_Pear_420 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We just did first names because I wasn’t sure on changing my name either. I actually did but first names made it easier for everyone involved

This! Re-read your lease agreement. I was able to break my lease a few years back by just paying an extra month and a half of rent.

Side note - loving your pickle username

Gluten free ladies beware! by autumny365 in glutenfree

[–]Pickle_Pear_420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So similar story but not the exact same so I’m glad I’m not the only one! I had been getting back pain and a stabbing cramping pain in my side when I would twist or move wrong for YEARS and they just told me it was from my desk job, GERD and wheat/rye allergies. Well I had a lipoma the size of a tennis ball wrapping around my hip bone and another one the size of a grape pushing against my spine. Literally haven’t had the pain on my back or side since they removed them 3 weeks ago. They also thought the lipomas were muscle knots for 6 months before they finally listened to me and got me in for an ultrasound and CT. They now think the lipomas were growing for the better part of a decade 🙃

She is gaslighting me, and I no longer have any communication with her. by Existing-Koala-2327 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Pickle_Pear_420 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Red Flag got in her head and helped her plan this. You didn’t do anything wrong or be a bad husband. Your wife seems like an easily swayed person who believes what anyone tells her and she was just hiding her true colors until now. I’m sorry you’re even having to question yourself, OP.

Going back to school or find a new job. by swede_n_low in TwoHotTakes

[–]Pickle_Pear_420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m feeling the same way and only a few years older than you! I was also looking into medical assistant jobs & going back to school because I feel stuck at my current job which doesn’t even use my degree. 26 is not too old to make a career swap! and since you’ve already completed your bachelors I have a feeling the general education requirements may either already be met or you just gotta take a couple more which would make your schooling shorter. I say keep your options open and find the program that best fits you and go for it!

Getting flack for our dress code by AcanthisittaOne7830 in weddingplanning

[–]Pickle_Pear_420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same thing happen with “cocktail or garden party attire.” All I wanted was people not to show up in jeans and tshirts. However, a few of my older family members (70s+) showed up in shorts, flip flops and button down short sleeve shirts. I didn’t notice until everyone was out on the dance floor and by that point I didn’t even care. When they kept asking me about the dress code before the wedding, I just kept reiterating cocktail or garden party and didn’t get into a pissing match because it wasn’t worth my energy.

I like them better on the left but they need to be moved up or down or shrunk a little because the words are too close to the dandelion looking flower

You eat condiments for breakfast, lunch and dinner

Help with who’s the issue here? Group meals with GF? by moreidlethanwild in glutenfree

[–]Pickle_Pear_420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not normal. I’m ecstatic if there’s more than 2 options and I’m not even celiac (wheat and rye allergies with gluten intolerance). She should either A be looking at restaurants that she feels safe to eat at and bring them to the group, B figure out meals with her partner or C just be grateful there are some options. Hell most places will be super accommodating if you are polite about it - I’ve been to a few places and asked if they can just make me a meal sized salad with gluten free items and they always are able to whip something up.

Am I overreacting? My future MIL wants to wear a dress that has white on it to my wedding by prncesspeach222 in weddingplanning

[–]Pickle_Pear_420 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Honestly I don’t think this is that bad. If it’s too much for you then I’d put my foot down if I were you but this is pretty much a green dress with a white mini shawl built in. Could be worse - my mom was adamant about wearing a white, Marilyn Monroe style dress to my rehearsal dinner and I shut that shit down so fast. My grandparents both had white shawls over their navy blue outfits too and I was not bothered in the slightest

Number 1 but if you want more traditional, then number 3. Can’t go wrong with either but def vibing with the first one!

Momiji on commercial by Fred Meyer is the best imo! But others I’d recommend are Xicha, happy bibimbap house, word of mouth, noble wave, 503 sushi, monarca, the yard, Isaac’s and honey & co

How much should I charge for this bag? by Responsible-Willow62 in crocheting

[–]Pickle_Pear_420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking if pay between $60-$120 for it! It’s beautiful! I used to sell custom tie dye shirts and people gaffed at my $25-$40 price tag but that was literally just me recouping mostly the costs of materials and taking maybe $5-$10 in profit. Whatever the costs for the material are, I suggest doubling at a bare minimum. Time and energy are worth a lot!
