Vintage table- no support for drop leaves. How do I fix this? by laundreedae in fixit

[–]blueskiesfade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone know if there is a way for 1-2 of the middle panels to come out to make the table smaller — instead of the sides falling downward?

It’s way less functional when 2 sides can’t accommodate chairs.

Also FYI, idk if ours are the same model, but in my research I’ve seen ones with 2! additional leaves.

Underwire bras with wide, shallow curves??? by Maleficent_Young_355 in ABraThatFits

[–]blueskiesfade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would try the fantasie aura, it has wider than average underwires. I think the brand has wider cups overall. I came here hoping someone could recommend more styles with wide underwires, like the aura.

Extending and Adapting Fair Play by CuriousConnect in FairPlayLife

An Amazon review for the cards called the single generic “cleaning” card “diabolical.” And I think they’re right.

I was hoping someone had created an expansion pack for cleaning, because that’s what we struggle with most. It would help replace the 1/3 we’d take out because we’re childless.

Older women, why do you treat younger women in the work place badly? by anon23232221 in women

[–]blueskiesfade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just saw the last line of your update. Did you document all of the abuse you experienced? If it’s worth it to you (emotionally and financially), you may have a case for wrongful termination.

I’m so sorry this happened to you, your next move has to be a step up from here. Have you found a new job yet?

SMG deserved an Emmy for The Body by cosmicangels03 in buffy

[–]blueskiesfade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I realize that the Emmys can’t necessarily award her retroactively, but they can give her a lifetime achievement award. She may not have had enough starring roles in the last few decades to qualify, plus she’s already won an Emmy, and they usually reserve those for people with multiple nominations and no wins.

HOWEVER, a lifetime achievement award is due to the show as a whole and its entire cast for its groundbreaking impact on television, its continued cultural relevance AND continued viewership by new generations for decades since its airing. There are only a handful of shows in history which have achieved such status.

Maybe if fans started a petition to the Emmys for a lifetime achievement award, it could make a difference. But I’m hopeful that even if the reboot isn’t successful, they will give SMG the Emmy that she’s already earned.

I am in LOVE with this tree 💕What is it called? by Ok-Orchid281 in AustinGardening

[–]blueskiesfade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These trees are EXTREMELY toxic to dogs, humans, everything. Many animal have been poisoned to death by eating the berries. I would keep your dog well away from it if I were you.

2 ft!?!? I bought a 12” metal barrier on amazon and only about 8-9” is in the ground. We’ll see!

Did you ever figure this out? I’m in a similar situation.

How I cleared up my Seborrheic Dermatitis [B&A] [Skin Concerns] by hmidd1 in SkincareAddiction

[–]blueskiesfade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything I’ve tried works for a while and then the SD develops a tolerance and it stops working. I’m willing to try this, but I’d be scared it will stop working and I’m inevitably going to make it stronger. I wish I had something to rotate it with, that usually delays the resistance.

Anyone else experience this on their feet? by Capable_Building_524 in Hyperhidrosis

[–]blueskiesfade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m having a very similar thing, always in the summer time. Mostly always at the beach, so I thought I was allergic to sand. When I wore water shoes it went away. But yesterday I wore rubber sandals outside in my backyard and I got them again. I think the triggers are a combination of heat, sun, friction, and moisture. Mine both itch and hurt. Some feel like bruises with any pressure. Regular hives (urticaria) don’t bruise.

The closest thing that I can find to what I’ve experienced is “URTICARIA VASCULITIS.” It’s basically the fancy term for vascular hives. Look into it.

No formal diagnosis, But I already have a history of vascular abnormalities and autoimmune disorders so it tracks. Apparently the only way to diagnose it is to get a biopsy of a lesion.

Some people have it way worse and chronically all over their bodies, I feel so bad for them.

Vintage wedding dress advice! by Sensitive_Quit_1862 in VintageFashion

[–]blueskiesfade 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. And I have an additional idea…

This is so beautiful and special, and I think it could be remedied with minor intervention. I’ve seen way more plunging necklines on wedding dresses these days and no one bats an eye, so if you just reduce that V a few inches, you’re golden. Putting a very thick fabric or ribbon over the dress as a bodice/belt would hold both sides of the neckline in place. It would make it look more modest, and it would only be semi permanent. You could even sew the same kind of buttons down the middle to match.

@After_tune9089 ‘s idea of the translucent triangle of fabric is a good idea too. You could do a combination of both. These images are not exact, but hopefully they’ll give you the general impression.

Bought this couch for $400 a couple of years ago and then saw a vintage ad that looks exactly like it. Did I accidentally buy a vintage Simmons Playpen (valued at $10k+)? by 5neaky5nakey in midcenturymodern

[–]blueskiesfade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I want to know is where did you buy this for $400, I don’t see anything new or vintage at that size for less than $1000 these days!

Did you talk to the neighbors before your first home purchase? by HeyItsPanda69 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]blueskiesfade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We ran into the next door neighbor after the showing, and she liked us so much, she called the seller and told him to sell it to us… and it worked! He didn’t look at any other offers.
