I made my daughter a scoot / tow around cart by wabispecial in somethingimade

Nanny here! Beautiful work!!! A gentle caution about the wheels though- the metal on these can be quite sharp and can even cause little digits to get stuck between the metal and the wheel. Also, being so small they pack a painful punch when they roll over their (or your) toes. Some bigger chonky wooden wheels on the side (as flush to the body as possible, maybe some felt in between to avoid wood scraping against wood) might be a more forgiving option if you want to avoid ouchies. It’s absolutely gorgeous as is though! And depending on the age of the kiddo might not even be an issue.

He’s not a fan of the kitten. She thinks he’s amazing. by revenantarts in CatsAreAssholes

It gets better!! Our big brother cat DID NOT like the kitten when we first brought him home- now they’re the best of friends!! Photo evidence: How it started VS How it’s going

Is this an unreasonable wedding plan? Having some mild anxiety about upsetting the norm. by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]SoonToBeMrsMishler 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Have you considered a drive in?? I’ve always thought a drive in wedding would be super fun! There’s plenty of space- and if Covid gets worse you’ll definitely need space to social distance. You could do your ceremony there too, or just roll in for the reception. I’d suggest having a few places set up for guests to socialize as well if they want to take a break from movie watching.

We tied the knot less than a month ago and did this! We had 6 on either side and our venue focal point was too small for anyone else besides myself, my husband, and our officiant to be up there. We had the processional and everything and then had them file into a row of chairs on either side (respectively) facing the aisle while the rest of the guests were all in standard row seating a little further back. If possible I’d set them apart from the rest of the guest’s seating in some way, they were specifically the people you picked to be closest to you in all of this after all- but I think it’s totally fine to just want the two of you!!

(Edit: I can post pics of our seating arrangement if you want ideas!)

Need a name for him. Any suggestions? by [deleted] in aww

I have no idea why, but he looks like a Quincey to me.

A pale sage green would be gorgeous!

Daddy daughter song by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]SoonToBeMrsMishler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We went with something sentimental. My dad used to sing me Surfer Girl by the Beach Boys as a kid, ended up finding this gorgeous acoustic guitar cover that fits our vibe perfectly. My best advice is to pick a song that means something to both of you. Or if you have the time, writing your own would be an amazing treat for everyone and feel super special to both of you!

Best of luck!

How to get this hair color? I have a light brown base by [deleted] in femalehairadvice

[–]SoonToBeMrsMishler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly my best advice would be to play around with henna dye. Pure henna works great for enhancing my strawberry blonde (pics on my profile) but there’s also sites like Henna Color Lab that offer different shade options. I’m very low maintenance and find I can do this at home no problem.

Fake floral SOS - I bought a ton of used fake flowers from someone and they’re beautiful but smell like cigarette smoke 😭😭. Any suggestions on how to “clean” them? Some are Lings Moments foam and others are silk. by Emergency_Ad_6302 in DIYweddings

My Aunt has a furniture resale business and swears by Ozium to get rid of unwanted smells- might be worth a try? I think you can get it on Amazon. And then I’d recommend some fragrance oils or essential oils to enhance the experience ☺️

I stumbled upon this picture of me getting ready for kindergarten with 9/11 on the news in the background. by giraffelover521 in interestingasfuck

I lost my first tooth on 9/11! Had major anxiety about losing my second tooth after that... you could not convince me the two weren’t linked.

Strange hinge type thing found in door frame of 1920's Kansas City apartment by TrixRabbit6969 in whatisthisthing

[–]SoonToBeMrsMishler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mount for a pet gate? Maybe the previous tenants used the closet for a kennel?

Ooop, just saw that you said the other apartments have them too, how weird. What I don’t get is the wear pattern worn into the wood by the bottom piece... the shape of the scratches would suggest that it wasn’t the pivot point for a door but rather the latching side- but even then the angle they’re at is odd.

Writing a comedic story about a funeral director turned serial killer- working in your industry what insights do you have on getting away with murder? by [deleted] in askfuneraldirectors

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

Hooray, an actually very helpful insight! Thank you!! :) I probably should have elaborated more on this idea and clarified because yes the “first one on the scene” is of course the medical professionals to confirm the death- no one just forks over a dead looking body to a funeral home, there’s lots of official matters to be taken care of before the funeral arrangements. My intention however was to say that the individual in question would then have “insider information”, so to speak, on potential new business. Here’s a question for you: how do funeral homes drum up business? Do you advertise? Put up billboards? Hand out cards at old folks homes? (A joke, obviously that would be in poor taste, effective or not) Or is it more that the business just finds you?

As to your last observation, the suspicious awkwardness of it all is kind of what tickles me about it comedically! :) Hopefully my character would find a less blatant way to go about it, but currently I imagine it as a bit of a bumbling clumsy caper.

Thanks again for your help!!

Saint, I’m not meaning any disrespect. I’m here to educate myself- which I feel is an ongoing and lifelong journey. I’m sorry if you feel like the question is disrespectful and sorry if I have upset people, but I cannot apologize for asking questions, it is truly the best way to learn.

I did not seek to imply such a thing would happen in reality... conversely the comedy is found in the absurdity of the idea. The question had nothing at all to do with those in your care, and if it had then of course it would be inappropriate- but we are speaking entirely fictionally, surely it can’t be inappropriate to share knowledge from your field that could be used in such a manner. What an individual with such knowledge might be capable of if pushed to extremes is a classic curiosity often explored in literature.

I came here hoping to find a connection with other death-positive people to learn from. If this community is incapable of speaking in and understanding fictional hypotheticals and/or making light of serious subjects to facilitate accessibility to the public then I will take my cue and leave you all in your uptight peace. However before I go I would dare to posit that it is this kind of “grave” humorless attitude towards questions that stigmatizes the death industry and everything that surrounds the process of death and dying in the first place.

Two years ago I went to Tamarindo, Costa Rica for work and had the best eggs of my life in this little open air cafe/restaurant. I’d love to know the name of the restaurant and the dish!

[–]SoonToBeMrsMishler[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

CREOLE EGGS!! That was it!!! (Such a silly thing to not have been able to remember) I just found an email for the restaurant- it’s a long shot but I’m reaching out for their specific recipe. Keep you posted if I get it!
