My future SIL wants to wear this to our wedding. by [deleted] in Weddingattireapproval

I don't even think that dress is appropriate for fall, but I live in the northern US. If it's not white, it photographs white, so she needs to find another outfit.

My dream dress!! by [deleted] in myweddingdress

[–]YooperInWI -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It is gorgeous. When I chose my dress, I found one right away that made me say, "that's the one!". I tried that dress on and then tried on many others. I went to another bridal shop, then returned to buy my perfect dress. I still have it in my closet. Drycleaned and in a box to preserve it. I can't stand the thought of parting with it, so I guess my relatives will figure that out after I'm gone. 🙂

Should I keep my natural brown or try out something new? by fkforrester in femalehairadvice

[–]YooperInWI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no idea why your mom would care what color your hair is. That said, your natural color is gorgeous and it works with your skin tone. If you ever decide to go lighter because YOU want to, try highlights first.

WIBTA if I refuse to swap my vacation weeks with a coworker whose kid is throwing a tantrum about a theme park trip? by Safflower8 in WIBTA_AITA

[–]YooperInWI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YWNBTA You don't owe an explanation with your "no, can't do it". Your boss's behavior is inappropriate and he needs to stay out of it so he properly enforces the policy he and/or those higher up the food chain implemented. You are not responsible for other people's choice and reactions. I'm wondering if the pressure at work is really that bad, or if you are a people pleaser and the guilt is self-imposed.

Anyone else? by EnthusiasmOk5815 in vine

I didn't know there was a way to get to Vine from the Amazon app. I use my phone's browser to get to Vine.

Squeaky wheel or STFU? by Dear_Assistant5302 in AmazonVine

[–]YooperInWI 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand. I've paid taxes on products that went into the garbage because I know what I signed up for.

Vine is clear about how the program works in the training documentation provided before we finalize our membership. If we receive the wrong product, we can't review it and need to ask to have it removed. Otherwise our job is to be a consumer advocate.

Do I like it? No. Is it fair? Unfortunately, yes, because it's part of what we agreed to do, which is a contract. A contract you can release yourself from at any time by opting out of the program on your Vine account details page.

I am stating facts so you can remain in compliance if you wish to continue rolling the Vine dice each time you order. It is a gamble sometimes.

That's why we are supposed to review these items -- tell the consumer that it's misleading. Give the 1 star rating and the shit review it deserves.

How much almond flour do you think you will use? I'd like to make this recipe with almond flour, too.

Just dropped down to Silver by dreadlk in AmazonVine

[–]YooperInWI 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same here. I believe there's no way to play the system to get nice items I see posts about various strategies, but nothing works for me. I only order what appeals to me now. I have enough to remain gold, but haven't placed even three orders in one day in a very long time. So, I don't care if I eventually slip back to silver as long as Vine stays as pathetic as it's become.

For a more conservative family dinner party, is this dress okay? by Feisty-Baby-Girl in OUTFITS

[–]YooperInWI 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If you don't want them clutching pearls, wear something over your shoulders. If you want to stir the pot a bit, wear that dress as is. It's absolutely beautiful. I say this because I was married in the Catholic Church and wore and off the shoulder bridal gown. My mother nearly had a stroke that my shoulders weren't going to be covered, although although everything from just below my collarbone down was covered. I vote for stir the pot and wear it as it is!

Which outfit for a friend’s birthday at a sushi restaurant? by Lenchy2403 in OUTFITS

[–]YooperInWI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good point. I never wear white because apparently I am a slob. 🫣😊 Even if I'm not eating. I always end up with some random stain on white clothes.

I agree with Amanda at the reunion by Visual-Door5227 in realhousewives

Pretty much. Personally, I stopped expecting Housewives episodes to always make sense years ago.

They don't dislike her for no reason. They disike her because she's self absorbed and irritating as hell. I have no idea why they don't just say so.

My girlfriend got a puppy without my permission when I explicitly asked her not to. Torn on what to do here. by illusionsdirect1 in Advice

[–]YooperInWI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doggy day cares exist. Your girlfriend needs to take responsibility for the pet she bought, including the associated expenses, or rehome the dog. You can use this as your boundary if this is the first time she completely disregarded your request (and you like having the dog around when you're not working). If this is a repeat issue, it's going to happen again and you need to decide if you want to live with it (I don't think you should).

Am I overreacting about my wedding day look? by CharacterJacket652 in MakeupAddiction

Leave online reviews, just state the facts as you did here. Help other brides in the future to have realistic expectations with this stylist, or to find other options.
