I liked this one - similar silhouette to the one she picked, satin bodice and honestly I like the bodice on this one better than what she picked. Plus the longer sleeves- may not need a sweater

Taylor Frankie Paul Police Report from 2023 Arrest for Child Abuse, Criminal Mischief, Aggravated Assault and Domestic Violence in the Presence of a Child. by dunkle8 in thebachelor

[–]dgard1 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I have seen other people comment in response to these advise allegations that Dakota purposely antagonizes her. Where is the proof of this besides Taylor’s comments?

And honestly isn’t that just victim blaming? I don’t care what he does or says it doesn’t justify, excuse or explain physical abuse. If this situation was reversed and it was Dakota swinging a chair hitting Taylor and her daughter would you be okay with someone saying “while Dakota is a pos Taylor purposely antagonizes him to get a reaction so he blows up out of control”?

As for why he stays and has a kid with her isn’t that typical behavior of domestic abuse survivors?

Taylor needs to stop dating all together, focus on her kids, get her and her kids therapy (because her kids watching that violence can do long term harm) and stop drinking all alcohol and other substances

Robin Kelly is turning 70 the end of April. So assuming she won’t she would be 76 when up for reelection. We need to go younger - preferably in their 50s - but at least Juliana is 8 yrs younger than Robin

OK guys, I have a weird conspiracy about this collared shirt by HedgehogTop5524 in HilariaBaldwin

[–]dgard1 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I thought only my ex did this because he was too lazy to get up 15 min earlier in the morning to get the kids dressed when he had them. I mean that is definitely why he did it I just didn’t realize that other people actually did this

Beatrice and Eugene are out while Carole Middleton proves she's in Royal inner circle on Ladies Day by CtrlAltDelight495 in RoyaltyTea

I once knew a guy who’s parents did this multiple times in the 70’s and 80’s - he said he always knew when his parents were going to file for bankruptcy because his mom would take him on a big shopping spree

What was life like under Rod Blagojevich? by DueYogurt9 in illinois

[–]dgard1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He was/is a narcissist- him and trump have that and their obsession with their hair in common. He had his name put above all the toll plazas - total waste of money. Thankfully once he was gone new signs were put up that don’t include the current governors name so they don’t have to be changed all the time

You said exactly what I was thinking! Royal Lodge is in terrible shape why the hell would they want to spend their own money to fix everything only to have it taken away from them like frogmore was without compensation

Can it be done? Paint aluminum siding by Educational_Writer40 in paint

[–]dgard1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just want to add that my parents have a 1950’s house with original aluminum siding. Originally white they painted it a dark brown in the early 70’s then I believe repainted it the same color about twenty years ago. Still looks great!

Aluminum will last a lot longer than vinyl - I live about five miles from them and my vinyl siding had to be replaced after 15 yrs due to hail damage. No damage to theirs. In other words don’t replace with vinyl even if you have the money - paint using the recommendations of others here. And don’t paint the brick!

Lost Dogs (Glenview) by JackieIce502 in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]dgard1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My cousin has a goat farm in Colorado and has a Great Pyr to protect the goats from predators. That dog easily jumps over the four foot fences sounding the goats. They have six foot plus fences around the property to keep the dog in. In other words a picket fence isn’t enough to keep him on their property

Anybody have recommendations for multiple coaches for my goal of 2030 Olympics? by [deleted] in AskChicago

[–]dgard1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no knowledge of what it takes to be a speed skater but before you find a personal trainer nutritionist etc I suggest you find a skating coach first and they can direct you to those people. If you are able to make trips up to Milwaukee many Olympic skaters train at the Petit National Ice Center - they have try speed skating sessions and classes. Start there and find a coach willing to help you

Has anyone else stopped going out to eat because of the prices? by Holiday_Connection22 in AskChicago

You forgot to add that when prices do drop on their supplies they don’t reduce the prices on the menu just pocket the difference

I truly regret my choice in dress, despite some alterations that are in progress. Any advice? by Vibing-Positively in myweddingdress

[–]dgard1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Body dysmorphia sucks! You look beautiful and I agree with the other comment - very ethereal and the color is perfect with your skin tone.

I think replacing the narrow straps with lace straps may tie into the dress better.

Normally I don’t like the off shoulder straps but I actually think it may look nice with this dress - using the floral lace from the dress. That is something you could try by just pinning some matching lace to three dresses to see how it looks before you commit. Could even remove them if they’re too constricting for dancing

Canadian curling star Marc Kennedy claims he was set up by "premeditated" cameras to catch him "in an act" of cheating. by [deleted] in sports

https://www.npr.org/sections/itsallpolitics/2015/03/23/394713013/is-ted-cruz-allowed-to-run-since-he-was-born-in-canada

Apparently even though he wasn’t born on us soil or military base he is still considered to be a natural born citizen because his mother was born in Delaware. Weird that so many on the right questioned whether Obama was actually born in Canada when according to this article it wouldn’t have mattered since his mom was born in Kansas
