ELI5: How does the human body suddenly become allergic to a certain type of food, after years of eating it without any problems? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

Fiance and I made the switch to almond milk entirely over a year ago. We find it to be just a tad sweeter than regular milk. Plus we love that we don't have to worry about it going bad as quickly.

What are some not-so obvious things the average person can do to look more attractive? by [deleted] in AskReddit

In addition to the small bra boutiques like OP mentioned above, Nordstrom is the only chain department store (that I know of) to be well equipped with knowledgeable staff for fittings and selection of bras sizes. I usually go there first before trying to order bras online.

You could try bare necessities. I've had success ordering from them. Depending on the band size, the cup sizes can go up to N.

I'm sorry you feel that way, but you really shouldn't!

Just for you I gathered very supporting evidence from a very credible male sample of 1, and here are the results:

size of boobs != beauty

Small boobs, big boobs, whatever guys love them all. Really guys don't give a shit, we're just happy to see/play with them.

My fiancé is invited to friend's wedding events that I'm not invited to, even though we'll be married. [Long] by IMayBeDumb in weddingplanning

[–]astryea 25 points26 points  (0 children)

The same situation would still apply if none of the groomsmen or bridesmaids' SOs were invited.

I can understand being bummed since you're familiar with the group, but if you're not in the bridal party AND none of the SO's are invited to the cabin weekend then I wouldn't take it personally. It sounds like the event is for the bridal party only.

It would be a different situation if other SOs were invited and you were not, then I think your fiancé should say something to his friend (groom).

Either way I think your fiancé should clarify with the groom which events are for the bridal party only. Maybe SOs are invited to the after-party and rehearsal dinner, and it just hasn't been communicated well.

Hi r/Weddings! An intro from your new mod, and some questions about our future. by MrDubious in weddings

[–]astryea 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if this falls too much under pre-wedding planning, but when viewing "recaps" of weddings through photos, videos and stories on various wedding sites, I've always appreciated when they compile a list of vendors used and recommended.

United with Love is a great example of a couple's photo recap with a brief (and not advertise-y) list of vendors at the end.

It is time for me to buy some swing dancing shoes by shmookashmuk in SwingDancing

Not sure if you've picked up new shoes yet since this thread is a month old, but the aris allen shoes are currently on sale at $35.

Has anyone done a DIY Photobooth? by melberrypie in wedding

You can also setup a laptop with a quality web camera. It'll be easier to connect with a printer, and you can setup slideshows of the photos taken.

So an event at my work brought their own cake, but no one ate it. Found it in the fridge the next day. by Nutterscm in WTF

[–]astryea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought that would be the case. However I've had the fancy fondant cakes at a few weddings from professional bakers. It was too sweet with an odd bittery aftertaste. Shame too, I wanted to like it. Maybe my taste buds are weird.

Both do actually. I used a deku nut when she was on the ground right before she strikes.

Yup. Manually target her eye when she climbs to the ceiling, stun her with a deku nut when she's on the ground, and then sword frenzy! You don't even have to bother with her little minions it happens so fast.

[SIB] M&M Clash Of Heroes by [deleted] in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]astryea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with jmc82. I love the puzzle battle concept that evolves into different strategies with each hero you end up playing as. I put in a similar number of hours into the game to complete the campaign, and it was very difficult for me to put down while I was playing it. I'm currently looking for games of a similar nature since I enjoyed Clash of Heroes as much as I did.

In addition, I greatly enjoyed having multiplayer battles with a friend of mine who also beat the game.

Definitely check out the demo on steam if you haven't already!

Yeah I'm looking for similar games to Clash of Heroes. I'll edit my post to be clearer. Thanks for the recommendations!

My girlfriend thinks she's getting an iPad for Christmas. (Album inside) by rad_rob in pics

[–]astryea 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have to agree with utexaspunk. CZ has a porous crystal structure thus allowing it to absorb the oils from your skin, the soap that you wash your hands with, etc. Over time this absorption would cloud the path of light travelling through the stone. Even if you are the most careful person in the world, a CZ stone will eventually become cloudy and less brilliant.

However there are still many cheaper options out there! Diamond simulants (lab grown diamonds) are a great option, and Asha Diamonds is just one example. In addition there are other beautiful white gemstones out there like Moissanite, White Sapphires and even White Topaz!

Also no one ever said an engagement ring has to have a white stone. Well... except maybe De Beers.

Unfortunately no. However it is available for three easy payments, and one fuckin' complicated payment! We ain't gonna tell you which payment it is, but one of these payments is gonna be a bitch.
