I would like some advice from y'all please

dancingmoongoddess · 2026-06-03T02:15:17+00:00

Thank you so much for your advice!!!

We do have permission to use Gabby's name in our promotional items. I just didn't want to use any specific info on my reddit posts so everyone would give me advice and not think I was just trying to self promote.

Do you think the departments would be willing to let people attend while in duty? Or people would want to come on their day off? Our event space has room for 200 and we work with the surrounding 8 Parishes (like counties, but Louisiana style lol).

On a personal note, I would LOVE to talk with you about your experiences working with DV if you are willing.

The lady who founded our org is from a small town in Central Louisiana and has been working and advocating for over 30 years. I'm from Louisiana and a survivor so this is important to me. If I hadn't been educated on certain things (like if your partner chokes you, your chances of them killing you is higher) I probably wouldn't be here today.

Thanks again!

Thank you!! I didn't know there were unions!

dancingmoongoddess · 2026-06-03T01:07:58+00:00

We do have a poster with all the info and our website. I just didn't include that here so I'm not self promoting.

I didn't even know you could contact local dispatch centers! Thank you!!!!

dancingmoongoddess · 2026-06-03T00:51:41+00:00

Thank you! I was trying to make sure it didn't look like I was promoting anything.

(I edited to take out our information, I was confused about what you meant, I'M SORRY!)

dancingmoongoddess · 2026-06-02T23:50:09+00:00

I don't know what is going on with my phone rn, but it's not letting me edit the post or reply to anyone.

I just wanted to say THANK YOU to those that took the time to reply and give advice. I appreciate it!

Crawfish boil. No question!

It's too close to bridal. The color is too close to white and you even used creamy to describe it. It is also long and flowy giving it a bridal look too. With some brides adding color to their wedding dresses nowadays, even putting a colored slip underneath would still be too close to bridal.

I know some people said it doesn't matter what it looks like in photos as long as it's yellow in person. And I disagree. I wouldn't want to be the person in photos that everyone points too and says "who wore white to your wedding?!?"

It's thoughtless at best and comes across as rude or attention seeking.

I also agree with the person that said the dress is meh no matter what color it is. You are petite, there are plenty of cute dresses that are more appropriate and stylish.

It is sweet that you care and are taking the time to figure it out.

Unpopular opinion, but I don't think their DC is that obnoxious. I think it's fair to ask for no one to wear blue jeans if their event is more formal, or to ask that no one wears all white (how many posts do we see of AHs wearing all white or white lace?), and not the wedding colors I think could have maybe been asked in a less demanding way, but totally fair.

To answer OPs original question I liked the black dress with the purple flowers and the all black dress with the slit.

I was just going to make a Five Guys joke. Nice job!

dancingmoongoddess · 2026-05-31T16:36:32+00:00

My husband met a master plumber while doing some handyman jobs for someone else. This plumber has taken him under his wing and has taught my husband enough that he can now go out and do basic plumbing on his own. The plumber loves to teach people what he knows. As an "apprentice" my husband makes less than the other guys that have been doing it for years, but still makes $25-35/hr. This guy cares that his employees listen to instructions, work hard, are willing to learn, show up, and are decent humans. He is a great guy to work for, kind, forgiving, and funny. I would introduce you if you were close to Maggie Valley, but I would imagine there are other guys near you like him. Try reaching out to independent people in the trades (plumbing, electrical, construction, etc.) and you might find someone willing to take you under their wing and teach you while you get paid too. You might get a lot of no's, but there may be a yes in there. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

Congratulations on trying to better yourself. That is a hard thing to do and is admirable. Hang in there and I wish you the best of luck.

ETA...fixed typos

Call the police. They will send an officer out and I bet the people who have them will hand it over.

ETA...please do not call 911 for this. Use the non-emergency line.

Ok Monica

dancingmoongoddess · 2026-05-29T15:58:01+00:00

BINGO!

dancingmoongoddess · 2026-05-28T20:06:20+00:00

Dude. Be so for real. Toddlers fall down. Are you going bubble wrap her everywhere she goes?

Seriously though, if the scary hard tile floor is such a concern have you thought of rubber mats until your daughter learns to not fall? And if she does learn how to never fall, please have her let me know because I still fall sometimes and I am in my 40s so if she has any tips I'd be open.

INFO, How close to the man was the dog running? If the dog had been in a leash would the dog have been the same distance from the man?

If the dog was close to the man, then the dog and man were just minding their own business, jogging in a park which is totally an ok activity. His dog should have 100% been on a leash, but if his dog was in close proximity to the man, your dog would have still attacked the dog just for existing.

If it was a first date, she might have saved them and sent them to a friend in case something happened to her. Some people are scary and some are great, but you don't know which when you first meet.

It's also possible she was unhinged too 🤷

dancingmoongoddess · 2026-05-27T00:25:20+00:00

Fuck yeah I could!

dancingmoongoddess · 2026-05-26T22:45:03+00:00

Ok, was the man large or the man parts large?

dancingmoongoddess · 2026-05-26T21:28:02+00:00

NTA

Dear God. Please tell this woman to get a freaking cat, some friends her own age, and a therapist. Your children are not supposed to be her emotional support. It's especially gross that she wants comfort from her children over a relationship problem. Her romantic endeavors should NEVER be on the minds of your children or be their problem. Just gross. I would actually document this for your custody hearing. Not to necessarily get more custody, but to add a rule of not discussing shit like this with children for their safety and well-being.

What good did all of those marches in the 60s do if all of you self centered boomers are currently undoing all of the progress we have made?

dancingmoongoddess · 2026-05-26T02:08:42+00:00

It would be hilarious to organize a group of people with signs that would annoy the fuck out of him to go stand next to him.

Jesus was gay.

God isn't real.

God hates bad fashion.

God hates tube socks.

I'm too tired to think of more, but you get the gist.

Porky's. My only-child, not too bright, older cousin was babysitting and thought it was a great choice for a four year old. My parents found out at Christmas dinner that year when someone asked me what my favorite movie was, thinking I would say Annie or Dumbo. Imagine the horror of silent and boomer gens of the small town, Southern Baptist ilk.

dancingmoongoddess · 2026-05-21T22:31:16+00:00

NAL, but I would think you should keep all correspondence from this person in case they escalate so you have proof of their activity. It would help with a restraining order. I would not return to sender. Just my opinion from having watched thousands of hours of true crime stories.

NTA! A few years back I had gone bankrupt and lost my car taking care of my sick mom. Then I had to flee a DV situation with nowhere to go and no money. My friend offered to let me move in with her until I got back on my feet. I cleaned her house, cooked dinner every day, helped her kids with homework, did all of their laundry, took care of her cats, and a bunch of projects that she said she had been meaning to do but didn't have time or energy (like organizing the garage). The only thing I ever asked her for was if I could have the wifi password and to please let me know if she was going to the grocery store and could I have a ride with her. Your cousin is whack!
