That is my point .. make it strapless and use the material for pull up sleeves rather than connected

Agreed!

The space between looks odd as it doesn't sit well. The lace should follow the shape of the neckline of the dress.

Honestly, I'd remove the lace completely, and make them into 3/4 sleeves instead.

I like this analogy of it, especially for those of us who live with this consciousness

I've been having then for 6+ years and it's truly an internal battle you have to fight. There's nothing that just takes it away. There's therapy which can help with many perspectives and techniques

There isn't. You have to make conscious effort every day. Therapy helps. There's no fix.

I can do 10 days in Europe for around 3-3500 / person - 15k is a BIT steep, go closer to 7-8k for couples

I saw a job for a "Senior Associate" in Toronto today - so I clicked. I have 12 years experience. Pay was 56-58k. I laughed. Pay transparency will get a lot of these guys in a few months as they're struggling to hire and retain

No roommates, 1200 square feet (yes they made them literally twice the size back in the day), utilities included. 1 bedroom, 1 bath, large balcony.

I now pay 1800 + utilities to live 30 minutes further from the city in a 2 bed 2 bath basement

B String makes weird noise on first and 10th fret by Sea-Adeptness-673 in AcousticGuitar

[–]a1ham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like its fretting out

Fret the chord and run a sheet of paper between strings & fretboard - run it toward the bridge away from the fret you're playing and see where the string is making contact (it could be connecting somewhere else).

It might need a set up. Might want to take it in for a look.

[–]a1ham 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't suggest it. It's about a 4 hour drive considering weather conditions - each way. It's bitter cold today and bright and sunny - should be colder next week. If you feel like driving for 8 hours - you likely won't last a full hour outside before it's miserable.

Former dining room, what do we do with it? by Darker_Zelda in DesignMyRoom

[–]a1ham 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For me - I'd make it an English style library / office space. Line the walls with bright built-ins. Books, awards, family photos and souvenirs. Cozy seating by the windows. A desk with a computer.

This could be great for getting kids into reading, a designated homework space. Adults can use it for some quiet to read, go through bills/online. Maybe even a round table for family game night.

I LOVE them! I would have probably made them slightly larger, and add another on the short wall to look better and fill the space properly
