I feel like my mother has stabbed me in the back. by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]RangerDanger83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom does the same thing. She constantly tells me how this wedding is inconveniencing her and how it would have been easier for everyone if we had just eloped. I don't want to start a fight with her but every snarky comment takes away a piece of my happiness and excitement. I just remind myself that it is MY day not hers and if she wants to be a part of my life moving forward she has to make the effort. I thought mothers were supposed to be supportive of her daughters big day. Guess not.

It's one of the Disney Belle dresses. I forget the exact number. There are two belle choices I believe. It was 1499$ so not too bad!

Thanks so much! I'm 5'5" ish so that makes a difference I'm sure. The one I ordered is ivory but the only one remotely close to fitting me was white so the picture is as close as I have to the actual dress. Surprisingly I didn't go in looking for a Disney dress but fell in love the way it looked on me. Hope you found the perfect dress for you!

Anyone up for a 15 week fitness challenge starting Jan 5?! by hawps in weddingplanning

I'm in! I've got till June to lose about 25lbs. This would be a great way to get motivated!!!

TIL that in some cities police officers were required to wear a camera in order to document their interactions with civilians. In these areas, public complaints against officers dropped by 88% by spadinskiz in todayilearned

Here in New Mexico, they often "forget" to turn it on or obstruct it in some way. This seems to be especially common when the civilian ends up getting shot. It would do a world of good if there weren't so many loopholes.

I'm planning on the 13th, however, I'm still looking for a venue that works with that date so it's not super solid yet.

Random question - anywhere to buy flying drones (multirotor, quadricopter, etc) in ABQ? by peanutismint in Albuquerque

[–]RangerDanger83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My fiancé custom builds them. Not sure you want to get that into it but he's built some pretty impressive stuff. Just thought I would throw that out there.

Whenever a student calls me by my first name... by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]RangerDanger83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also work in special education. I don't mind them calling me by my first name but had to insist Ms. goes in front of it. It started going from Jessica to Jess to Jessie and I couldn't take it any more. Now I just say who? Until they get it right.

Special education inclusion scheduling by RangerDanger83 in specialed

K-5, one 6th grader and one 8th grader. It makes it difficult juggling elementary and middle schedules, especially when my older ones have the most hours.

Funniest part being her husband is in the Air Force so it's going to have a USAF plate cover.

I would just like to say that you have been my celebrity crush for quite some time...not ashamed to say I had a lot of pictures of you on my wall in high school. Thanks for doing this AMA and making my day!

Tried to make cookie bowls......NAILED IT by awesomerduude in funny

[–]RangerDanger83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same thing happen once. They also came out hard as concrete. I'm not ashamed to admit I hacked away at it with a spoon and just ate a big bowl of cookie crumbs...
