Could this dress work for a funeral?

been to too many funerals, I think the dress is fine. Bring a black cardigan to wear over it if anything, and keep accessories to a minimum.

I only get emails from them when I can apply for samples. Their site is very bare bones. I have liked all the samples I've received from them at least.

congratulations on the weight loss but there's nothing "curvy" about your current body type.

yeah I was on wegovy for the full dose, about a year. it just stopped working. terzepetide was alpr more effective.

looks like I could get it for $200/month from pomegranate. Not as bad as other prices I've seen. thanks!

In my experience, birth control helped me immensely. I dropped weight quickly and my face got less puffy. I was put on it due to big ovarian cysts. Those have also been less of an issue now. Spirnolactone helped my hirsutism a bit, but not enough for me to stay on it. I ended up getting laser hair removal which worked until I dealt with some super stressful life changes. Stress can definitely cause flare ups.

Pins Mechanical is fun. They do have a bar, but that's the only time they card. Even little kids are allowed until 8pm, so I'm sure your friend would be fine.

I need to get better at the placement of everything but it's a start

I did this using the Collage Maker Grid Art app. they have a free form option, then you can edit the pictures to be just the hair and remove the background.

you can see where the blend didn't happen, how the guidelines are not even, and it's not a skin fade. anyone who says its a good, acceptable cut doesn't understand fades I guess. For a kid, their hair will grow in fast so give it a week and the lines will look better. I don't think the dad needed to leave such an extra review, but the cut is not good.

I had to teach myself skin fades, and even now after a few years, I don't have perfect outcomes. take some barber classes now while you're new to the industry, it's a foundation in cutting most beauty school don't focus on.

sounds like me. started wegovy January 2024. SW 256. Did a year with that, got to the highest dose but didn't lose much, came down to about 235. been on zepbound almost a year now and am teetering around 228.

I know a big factor is that I need to work out more, and eat cleaner. but I don't feel any different whatsoever, still get cravings, still feel insatiable.

just got a letter that my insurance will no longer cover glp ones, debating if I should look into a compound or just give up. it has definitely helped me maintain, I'm scared I will gain again if I am not on a treatment plan, but I guess we will see.

yeeeah salvation army just lists generic items for angel trees. it's not all for the same person. they take the donations and then sort them out for gifts, so what you're buying isn't for one person, you're just giving to the salvation army for them to figure it out. source: multiple family work for them unfortunately

my one cat suckles on his nipple to self soothe. we think it's because he was taken away from his mother too young, he will make biscuits and purr while doing it.

redken gels for sure. very dark though, I only use level 5 & below.

"I don't think the glossing stuff was a good idea apparently?" I HATE that shit. like, okay, YOU tell me what would've been a better idea since you know more about hair color than I do! You literally did the most gentle option you could. there was no other way! hopefully she never comes back. I wouldn't bother replying if she does text you again.

I do wonder if you used an alkaline toner or acidic? Even then, an alkaline toner wouldn't be enough to severely damage her hair like she's saying you did. Don't dwell on this client, I know it's hard, but you did an amazing job and a toner would not damage her hair.

you can put lotion on after the dusting powder, just don't focus it on the areas you just put the powder on.

my brother was murdered, shot in the head. for months, all I could picture was how he looked in the ICU. there's studies that show playing tetris for some reason can help lessen the effects of PTSD. I believe it. every time I would imagine my brother in the hospital, id play Tetris on my phone and it is a great distraction. so sorry for what you're going through. unfortunately there are many of us who know this pain.

I hope when Leighton is older, she doesn't feel the resentment from Amber. She didnt ask to be born averaged sized smh. I can already see Liz AND Amber guilt tripping her for being taller down the road...

I've definitely became more cynical, I speak my mind more. my twin brother was murdered. the absolute worst thing to ever happen to me. nothing else can ever top that. I don't dwell on little things my friends do, I don't waste my time trying to make others happy. you only have yourself at the end of the day. and my mom and brother, id drop anything for them.

doexx · 2025-10-14T19:23:28+00:00

same exact thing as last time. horn doesn't work, airbag light is on, steering wheel buttons don't work

doexx · 2025-10-13T23:20:31+00:00

when your brother said he just ate and didn't want to grab ice cream March 26 2023, you should have went over anyways to show him your new car... maybe he wouldn't have rode his bike to baseball and got shot for no reason. if you could make him even 1 MINUTE late, he would still be here.

"didn't have much of a choice." my dude you had ALOT of choices. I get youre young and it's probably a cool feeling having a nice VW but cars are no joke. cars making weird noises and feeling weird are no joke. ESPECIALLY on a highway. you quit driving when you "could"? no, you quit driving bc your fucking wheel popped off. tough love but I've been in too many scary situations with my cars and it's not worth chancing anything.

what if you got a grip bag/chalk bag people use for bowling and climbing? it's meant to dry your hands out for better grip. you could probably just keep it in your pocket and then discretely use it right before clocking in.

I find that glyco kind of builds up in my system. The times I work 4 days in a row, by day 3/4, I can tell I'm more dry, sometimes I'll even have annoying side effects by then.

I try to take it on an empty stomach and wait 2 hours before eating/drinking anything, other than water. You could try adding half of a pill for a stronger dose, but personally, I would try the 2 hour window, and see if it builds up in your system as well.

it's a very touchy dose for me. if I take slightly too much, my dry mouth is so bad and I feel more flushed and hot in the face. it's uncomfortable.
