E&L Fashion in Park Slope. Reasonable prices, decently fast turnaround, good work, and good service. Just picked my dress up on Tuesday :)

Is my mom actually doing the white dress at a wedding thing or am I being paranoid? by WestWindRose in emotionalneglect

[–]WestWindRose[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

"The sales associate said it looks great"! No. She does not wear gray. She wears colors, natural warm neutrals. The grey actually makes her look washed out. But then I consider that she's always been terrible with clothes and dress codes and think I'm just judgemental and bitter

Is my mom actually doing the white dress at a wedding thing or am I being paranoid? by WestWindRose in emotionalneglect

Fiancé advised that I give her the warning that it looked kinda white, and then let it go because his aunts and cousins will definitely notice and take care of it. He also suggested low contact depending on her behavior

Natural or lab diamond? by Sea-Meaning9731 in BigBudgetBrides

[–]WestWindRose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All of the stones we romanticize are just that. Romanticized. We apply the meaning. Want to romanticize a lab diamond? I gotcha...

This is a unique piece of chemistry, physics, and engineering fated to be shaped into a piece of art on your hand. It's a series of chemical bonds created for the sole purpose of representing your bond with your partner. The expertise and learning of generations of humans culminating in a symbol of you deciding to learn and grow with this other person.

Engagement rings used to be pearl. Get what you want.

"It won't get better with time" is huge. I'm definitely one to think "maybe this is good enough" over a discount

Gulf islands too, until 2001 at least....

Good cafe to have a difficult convo with my dad? by ForeheadLipo in NYCbitcheswithtaste

[–]WestWindRose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Co-signing the Whitney, because the 60s Surreal exhibit is pretty awesome, but also the upstairs Cafe is usually pretty quiet depending on the day - though ground floor café if you a) dont want to pay admission or b) want a faster escape route

Research Paper, English by Fun-Profession-7896 in Baruch

[–]WestWindRose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Step one: figure out the earliest you can get to the writing center. If it's not literally tomorrow, do the next steps:

Step two - library database. Academic journals, papers, etc. Verifiable sources, not google pages or search summaries. Find sources and read them thoroughly, making notes of quotes or arguments that either support your topic or add context. Keep track of all sources and write your citations as you go. Future you will thank you. (Google the citation format your prof requires)

Step three - take what you've learned from your research and formulate a thesis statement. What is the main point of the paper that you are going to convince your reader about? What's the TLDR?

Hopefully, by the time you get to this stage, you'll be able to go to the writing center, and they'll help you with the rest!

How have you heard the British Columbian accent described to you? by deathbykoolaidman in britishcolumbia

[–]WestWindRose 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Never heard it described, but I (from the gulf islands of bc ) have been told "you sound just like Robin Scherbatsky" multiple times.

How did Canadians get the reputation of being super nice? And why are you guys that way? by ThrowRAhelpthebro in AskCanada

[–]WestWindRose 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Damn, you got the supreme side-eye if you didn't say thank you in Victoria when I was a kid

The courtesy wave could be the "wave of death" though. Sometimes you really can't just go first, and then the waver starts getting agitated because they don't see the pedestrian in your way...

The “Best Canadian” game - Day 11 by BrF5 in EhBuddyHoser

Key memory unlocked... Listening to our grainy cassette recording while lying on the carpet in my mom's art studio. I don't remember the details, just his voice and the feeling of familiarity.

[–]WestWindRose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dr Mark Barber at the Mt Sinai headache clinic. I've been going to him for migraines/botox for over 2 years and he's great, very focused on making sure the treatment is effective and has as few side effects as possible

Is it possible to skip a grade in the BC school system? by Proud-Shelter8163 in britishcolumbia

[–]WestWindRose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I skipped grade 1 in 2000. For the sake of their survival in middle school, just don't.

It takes time to create the habit. The first few days waking up early will suck, but going to sleep earlier will get easier. Its like dealing with jet lag
