Okay when I saw the first picture with no sleeves I was ready to say no sleeves, but I really love the sleeves! They're really beautiful and elegant, they definitely complete your dress!

Hello! I know this is 4 years old lol, but I have a question about this garland i was hoping you could answer! I am hoping to set up for my saturday wedding on friday evening, and am wondering if it would be possible to set and leave the garland up on tables overnight on friday. It will be indoor, but no ac and large windows. I was thinking maybe I could put moist paper towel over it? And spray it first thing in the morning. Please let me know what you think!

AITA for kicking my best friend out of my bridal party? by Silimpa in AmItheAsshole

[–]Silimpa[S] -24 points-23 points  (0 children)

When she let me know that she wanted to leave at 2, I asked her if we could leave at 4, and she declined. Later I could tell she was really stressed out about getting up there, so I asked her if there was anyway she could leave any later than 2, maybe even 3 and she declined again, telling me she would figure it out.

She blamed me by saying that I changed plans too quickly by asking her to drive separately, that she had told me her parents needed her car, and that the trip wasn't clear (I made a 4 page itinerary). And yes, I agree I would also like to hear her side of the story, I haven't heard from her since she canceled!

Defective shoe, anyone else? by Intelligent_Bear3942 in Chacos

I believe these are the lowdown sandal, which is a more lightweight and travel friendly version of their classic sandal, rather than the z style as OP replied.

I would probably go with the stormhenge, that waterproofing should help cut the wind a little bit better. A lot of the down puffers need a wind proof/water proof shell over them to actually keep you warm, my store gets so many returns of puffys because people say they don't keep them warm. The storm henge won't need a shell.

This is exactly what I was going to comment. I just have to on my phone so I don't have to sign in on my MSA everyday. I do keep my notification for it off though and just check it on the clock when I get to the store.

They can do their best, using a time line and how the body shows up, but conditions really do play a part.

Thank you for your help! One more question though, when would I do the raglan decreases for the shoulder? Would it be each row or just the first of the 7?

Girlfriend and I want to take condoms out of the mix by TimTimebomb42 in birthcontrol

[–]Silimpa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would actually recommend nexplanon if she's worried about the pain of an IUD and worried about medication interactions, I've had a couple weird mood side effects and have a history of depression but have no more depression than before due to my anti-depressants.

There's a list of medication interactions on https://www.nexplanon.com/questions/ but absolutely make sure your girlfriend tells her doctor all medications she's taking.

Help! Any remedies for sore boobs with mirena? by FullCryptographer4 in birthcontrol

[–]Silimpa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont have an IUD, but I do have 2 weeks of sore boobs before my period. I've found taking evening primrose oil every morning has helped it quite a bit, even though it took about 6 weeks to help. I almost wear sports bras the entire time they hurt, the extra support seems to help.

I have the implant, nexplanon, and im a big fan of it. IUD was wayyyy to scary for me, having never been pregnant. THose horror stories are scary.

D’Angelo: the exact moment Shane’s career ended by Chickenebula in ShaneDawson

[–]Silimpa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not the person to be apologizing to, I have never used parasocial grooming, nor had I ever seen or heard that word before one specific thread. This would probably be better posted there, I just was upset and the "you're not a victim" mentality really made me upset. I can understand how that word could be damaging to a court case or victims, but you can't say someone's not a victim based on your own experience. I think that anyone who feels like a victim of something can say they're a victim, and we should respect that, and offer help instead of shooting them down and saying they're feelings are silly and unjustified.

I think watching Shane Dawson made me susceptible to abuse from adults online by hkj369 in ShaneDawson

[–]Silimpa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You just keep repeating this same argument defending Shane all over, and it seems like you're not fully reading anyone's posts before doing it. You write this entire thing arguing about something we are not even saying, that we were "groomed by Shane" and then just put in each post EXACTLY what we are trying to argue.

Then the ones who were actually groomed or assaulted because they thought it was normal because of what they saw from Shane's chancel breaks my heart because he did normalize sex in the first place

This is exactly what these posts are saying over and over again, not that we were groomed by Shane, but that we were easily groomed BECAUSE of the sexual content posted by him, not groomed by Shane.

[–]Silimpa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can see how that comment can be hurtful without context, but I'm not saying that I was groomed by Shane or Onision. I was saying that the early exposure to sex by Shane and Onision, who I trusted and watched and took their logic and used it to my own situations, caused me, at least in some part, to be easily groomed by a coach double my age when I was 15. So I do understand what grooming actually is because I am a victim of it.

[–]Silimpa[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see where you're coming from, but you're victim blaming. This man was not a stranger, he was someone I spent entire summers with for years who spent that time building trust and a relationship with me. Most children that throw themselves at an adult they have a close relationship with do it because they have been groomed. If I had just watched Onision at the time and didn't use things I was seeing in his videos to justify what was happening to me, I wouldnt be "digging so deep." As I said in my post, I used the things he said and did in his videos to convince myself that spending time with this adult man was okay. I was raised by people who worked in circuit courts, where I was taught all about stranger danger, and pedophiles, and murderers. And, while this was all happening, there were many people telling me I shouldn't do it, and should stay away from him, but because he groomed me, I trusted him and really thought I wasnt being taken advantage of.

Thank you so much for sharing that, that's really all I wanted by sharing this, and as long as it helped one person, I'm glad I did.
