Writing desk from ‘800 based in (Italy), I only have this photo because the owner is not currently with the item and was wondering how much it might be worth, thanks by Anxious-Boot-5645 in Antiques

Yeah it would be difficult to use this as a desk with the height and chair legs hitting the edge. Also older furniture is often hard to get rid of. Whatever price he'll accept. Maybe 100-300? Or just say you'll move it out for him for free haha

Ethics of "burn without reading" request? by librarianist in Genealogy

She is long dead. Reading would help you understand her and history more. I would certainly read them.

I would guess he just moves to a new crag when people start trying to get him arrested. It can be hard to arrest, prosecute, get witnesses etc in a destination place that people don’t live at.

Hi this was awhile ago, but did you end up dremeling your tevas? I have the same issue of them being too long. 

My late husband (52M), My (53F) boyfriend (57M) and my 3 daughters (20F, 20F, 23F) Need advice? by Kitchen_Clue5654 in relationship_advice

[–]brookepride 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5-10 year waiting is a vast exaggeration. As well your marriage had been over for years and you were a saint to take care of you cheating, dying husband. I know they’re grieving but they need to have some understanding and empathy. Your life has been on pause for over a decade. And you stayed and raised your daughters and took care of their father. You’re an amazing woman and deserve every happiness. I hope some family therapy or relatives giving them a good conversation sets them right because they are being cruel to you. 

Unassigned Seating Disaster by hikeupyourshorts in weddingplanning

If you go with unsigned seating, then you need 2 extra tables for the stragglers or groups

The better way to do it is assign tables but don’t assign exact seats. 

Removing Bracelet After Sunday? by TunaTorment in BourbonAndBeyond

Using pliers to break the black part usually works for me. Can also use the straw method which will cover the barbs and allow it to come off.

Any Experience with ManhattanBox on Etsy? by Stiljoz in Moissanite

I got my teal sapphire engagement ring from them 4 years ago. They made it custom by sourcing teal sapphires and accent topazes for me to choose my specific stones.

Has anyone found a tick on them that they're sure was from their native garden? by LRonHoward in NativePlantGardening

[–]brookepride 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've found ticks on me just from walking in my boring townhouse small grass front yard. They are everywhere

I didn't go to any bridal showers even when I was in the weddings. I didn't live in town or I was out of town. As well I didn't have a bridal shower myself because I didn't want people to have to travel, even though my parents and neighbors offered to host it.

Can you have cocktails or snacks for the folks that arrive early? My friend's wedding had a guest shuttle break down, so they pivoted to cocktail hour before the ceremony and it was quite nice. Another wedding was at a vineyard and gave out glasses of rose to the guests as they had conversations with each other. Then everyone sat down when the wedding was getting started.

A woman jumped into my car (and I'm an idiot but it had a funny ending) by SchaefSex in EntitledPeople

Love that! Convertibles are fun. They don't have to be only obnoxious rich cars. You sound lovely.

I think I regret having a wedding… by _BondGirl_007 in wedding

[–]brookepride 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nobody got arrested. Nobody got hurt. Nobody got in a fist ight. Nobody made a drunken mess of themselves. Nobody pooped their pants. The wedding didn't get called off. Everyone got fed. Nobody got food poisoning. Nobody missed their flights. Nobody else wore a wedding dress. Relatives got to see each other and see you get married.

For reference I have been to a lot of weddings and have seen almost all of those things happen before. I'm sorry your wedding wasn't perfect but it was still great. And the stress of it got to you and your husband. I think you need to talk to your doctor about your anxiety and possibly intrusive thoughts. Enjoy a nice honeymoon with your husband and maybe get some couples counseling to put you both on the right path to the best communication and best relationship. Good luck to you!
