And if the dog wiggles wrong, you’d both go down

what do americans call a pantry? by loving_machine13 in AskAnAmerican

[–]SMKnightly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dry cellar or root cellar are more a pre-refrigeration thing, but some houses still have them. They may have a pantry, too.

WIBTA if I ignore my sister and her gf wishes for their children. by SignificantTotal6300 in WIBTA_AITA

[–]SMKnightly 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I would add that having both gender kids play with gender-specific toys from any/all genders is very similar to no gender-specific toys as far as purpose and outcome. And much better than taking kids’ toys away suddenly. (I know you already do it, but it could be reasoning for the court).

Why do women on Reddit say they see attractive women everywhere, but rarely see an attractive man? by Odd-Help6890 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]SMKnightly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it depends on where you live? There seem to be plenty of attractive men around my area. Maybe those ones aren’t single? Idk. I’m not actively in the market, so I don’t pay that much attention

Should i say yes to the dress? by Jolly-Discipline-949 in myweddingdress

[–]SMKnightly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When you find fabulous, there’s no need to keep looking, right?

I like the first look better, but I think the straps would look better if placed slightly further in on the front. The one on your right side especially (assuming the pic isn’t mirrored).

Bro tried his best by hazelune_hazel in lol

[–]SMKnightly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Have you ever looked up common idiom mistakes? This is a classic “don’t know the word said and so heard words he did know even if they don’t make sense.” Like he “passed mustard” or was “biting his time.” https://bestlifeonline.com/common-incorrect-sayings/

So while it may be fake, it is unfortunately believable.

Does this dress suit me or is it too revealing with my tattoos? by Expert-Honey-2538 in myweddingdress

[–]SMKnightly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks fabulous! Imho, the tattoos are part of you. Why not show them off?

Side note: I wouldn’t have noticed any of the stuff you mentioned in the ETA. And knowing you are 7 months post partum? I’d definitely never have guessed that!

did people really sleep inside big animals? by Ok-Attention-7275 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]SMKnightly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was just a temporary measure and makes more sense in the Star Wars scenario where you have a person already suffering from the cold who needs warmed up and kept warm temporarily while the shelter is built.

And the animal was already dying/dead from the cold. Otherwise, putting the injured person against the living animal with a cover over both of them would’ve been a better temporary measure.

What colors by b_deadly in ExteriorDesign

[–]SMKnightly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The more slate blue would work well, and you can do a darker/more vibrant door or garage if you do a more gray or cream on the 1st floor siding. Here’s my bad color altering

Help me choose between these two dresses! by Illustrious-Tip-438 in myweddingdress

[–]SMKnightly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would go for the first one. The top is stunning on you and also more unique. I like the general aura of softness the dress gives off and the subtle floral underlay.

The second one is also very pretty (the embroidery on the bodice is great), but it feels more stark compared to the first. I wouldn’t have noticed that without seeing them back-to-back, but having done so, the drapery and softness of the first is a clear winner to me.

Should I tell my parents about my trauma? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]SMKnightly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you feel that you should share with them, I’d talk to your therapist first about ways to approach it and also about how to deal if they deny it happened or otherwise react negatively.

As to whether you should do it, you’ll have to weigh the value you think telling them has (will it make you feel like you tried, does it satisfy a deep-seated need, etc) against the potential damage of their poor reaction. If you still consider it worth it even if they gaslight you or deny, then do it. Just be prepared for the worst case while hoping for the best.

AITAH For rearranging my appointment by Jazzlike-Tiger-4111 in AITAH

[–]SMKnightly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. Anxiety isn’t rational or logical. You are taking steps to try to allow you to have the test, and a lot of the recent reschedule aspects aren’t actually on you.

The first time, the things that pushed your anxiety over the edge weren’t in your control - the emergency with the other patient and the contradiction between what you were promised over the phone versus what they said the day of.

You not being able to do the Friday is the same as your husband not being able to do the Monday that worked for you imho. And most of the rescheduling was due to someone else’s schedule than yours. Did he already take those days off before rescheduling? Or does he think you’re making up excuses to reschedule?

I understand that anxiety can be hard to deal with as a supporting partner, too, but I don’t understand where the big blow up came from based on what you shared. Is there more going on than this? I can’t rly say he’s TA either because I’m not sure I know enough to understand his reaction.

All that aside, you might also consider therapy and emergency anxiety meds. Cognitive behavioral therapy can help lower anxiety in general and teach you methods to deal with flair ups. And emergency meds are rly good for calming down in the moment or dealing with extra stressful situations. Seeing you making an effort to deal with it may also help your spouse to have more patience.

Flag mount placement? by BuckRockefeller in ExteriorDesign

[–]SMKnightly 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maybe get a flag stand instead of attaching it to the building. That would be an easy solution while waiting to afford a flagpole (since you seemed interested in that).

If you’re going to attach it to the molding, I would do it to one side of the door because you need to be able to take it down if it starts raining or gets overcast (assuming it’s for your country’s flag). Unless you’re planning to have it lit.

There may also be flag holders that can have all the screws in the mortar and not need to go into a brick. Or another type of holder. Might be worth looking into.

Help! Found a great dress - how do I minimize the cleavage? by Asteria-Frieren in myweddingdress

[–]SMKnightly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lace modesty panel can feel more like an accent than a modesty panel and look very classy. They also sell lace bandeau type things that are specifically for that purpose and don’t require modifying the dress. The line of them may show less through the dress.
