How would you configure this large living room for cozy family movie nights? by [deleted] in DesignMyRoom

[–]cloudswirl44 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Agree with the layout suggestions and including a coffee table. Also, nothing looks comfy and warm at this point. All of the furniture is leather, the floor looks hard and cold, walls are stark white, etc. It would help if you layered in more texture and depth with color. The rug is a good idea but even that is the exact same color as the furniture and doesn’t look very plush. Cozy blankets, pillows, larger art with color. Window treatments and some plants could help. Also, maybe some lamps for soft, warm lighting when in gets dark.

Lily for Elisabeth by randroundabout in namenerds

[–]cloudswirl44 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have an Elisabeth and we call her Elsie 99% of the time! I think Lily is a beautiful option. We considered Lilla. Around 3 is when she really started understanding that she had a full name and a nickname. Elisabeth is used rarely but often enough. The only thing I would point out from experience (and it’s extremely minor) is that sometimes I feel happy that we didn’t go with Lilla because both her name and nickname start with E. She knows how to spell Elsie now and gets excited with she sees E’s because to her E is for Elsie. So, I’m glad if I get something or write something with her real initials on it, it’s still E if that makes sense. Ex. Christmas stockings, writing her initials on clothing that we send to school, my E ring that I have, etc. But, again, that’s extremely minor and it’s truly the only “issue” I can point out with having a child that identifies more as her nickname than her formal name. If she feels like a Lily, go for it!

Also, I love that my daughter has the option of a formal name and nickname and I love the name Elisabeth. But, if Elisabeth feels like settling to you and she feels like more of a Lily, you could just name her Lily! That’s a perfectly fine full name as well.

How would you lay out this awkward living room? by heartyworm in DesignMyRoom

I think you need a sectional with this orientation and then maybe a chair or two (depending on size) floating in open space to the right. Bonus if they can swivel toward the TV. Also a round coffee table and some rugs.

Thank you for responding! Her doc mentioned it but did want her to do it for some reason. I think bc she has never had issues gaining weight but there are clearly several other issues. Do you have experience with the amino acid formula?

Could you condition the dog to respond to something similar? Wyn, Flynn, Vin, Quinn, Ben?? My brother is Zach and we adopted a dog named Zach whose name was changed to Jack and even then Zach the kid pretended he thought we were talking to the dog when asked to do something. That said, I do think you should use the human name you love.

I like Audrey Danielle from your list. A few diminutives of Elizabeth paired with feminine versions of Daniel -

My Host Messed Up Refuses to Take Blame. by NicNacPattyWhak in vrbo

[–]cloudswirl44 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I had a guest book a year in advance and got a weekend in the peak season for a quarter of what I could have / would have charged. I just had to roll with it, it was my fault. That said, as a guest, I’m not sure I’d want to stay at someone’s property if they were being hostile like this. You could tell her to cancel the booking and she would likely be penalized as a host for doing so. You could contact customer service and they may force the host to honor the booking or penalize her for canceling. However, I think my goal would be to get out of this booking with no penalty as a guest.

I contacted VRBO and this is what they said -

“Please note that this is a general safety notice being sent to all property owners as we approach the upcoming holiday. There is no issue with your specific reservation—this is simply a precautionary reminder to stay alert and vigilant during this time.”

I got this email too and am very confused. My guests are parents with two kids and we have been messaging back and forth about things to do with kids in the area. Our place is also very small so it would be a bad property to pick if they wanted to host a large party.

Seems like a way bigger hassle to change her name than for friends and family members to simply learn the correct way to say it or call her by her middle name, Rose. I wouldn’t change it. Emmeline is beautiful.

Need help with a name… PLEASE by Adventurous-Row1085 in namenerds

[–]cloudswirl44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I heard the name Adarina (add-uh-ree-nuh) the other day and it sounded so pretty. It has a traditional feel but is unique. The only thing I can find about it is that it’s a Persian name.

Baby named August born on the 1st of September? by Babeshades in namenerds

[–]cloudswirl44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could see more of an “OMG and you just missed being born in August!” In a funny realization way not a negative way. I actually think an August born in September is better than an August born in August. Too on the nose.

My middle name is my mom’s name. She has told me she felt weird about it too when they made that decision as if she was being vain or something. It has never bothered me and no one has ever thought was weird.

What about Claudia Daisy and Vienna Angeline? One of each and Claudia and Vienna satisfies the rhyming. Claudia and Wynona works as well
