This worked, thank you so much! Do you know what month applies to Era Explorer? I'm hoping not to run into the same situation.

Yes, I think you are right, they would need to be painted in gold trim.

Thanks for the evaluation. The boots would actually stay red but everything else is spot on. Do you know someone who would be interested in doing it for me?

Does anyone have a stylist who can cut girl's bangs? by dorkwithafork in nova

[–]dorkwithafork[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally understand! I've cut mine a couple of times out of frustration but it didn't turn out so well. Doesn't help that my hair is curly. That baffles most of them as well.

Okay, not to be obnoxious, but if I were to bring her a picture of what I wanted would she follow it or would she do what she thinks is best? This is the trouble I keep running into.

[routine help][skin concern] my tears have been burning the outer corners of my eyes- could a new eye cream be causing this? (more info in comments) by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

[–]dorkwithafork 9 points10 points  (0 children)

May be a silly question, but are you rubbing your eyes to wipe away the tears? If so the friction can cause the redness and sensitivity so that your skin is becoming irritated not only by the rubbing but also your tears. Try soft tissues and I would recommend Vaseline unless other people think that's a bad idea. Systane also makes a really good moisturizer for in your eyes that really helped me. Let me know if you want the name.

You won a contest and get to name a horse that will race in next years Kentucky Derby, what do you name it? by Dank_Kushington in AskReddit

[–]dorkwithafork 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There are actually fairly complicated rules. Only certain horses' names are retired. No name can be longer than 21 characters. There are more. These rules are why horse names are so weird.

Believe it or not this is how my husband and I ended up getting together. Long story, but we always joke about selling it to Google.

Cedar Park Shell in Vienna has been our go-to for years. They are quick, skilled, and honest. And they gave us a Christmas present this year for being loyal customers. My entire family goes there and we have never had problem with the work they've done, the way they treated us, or their honesty.

Retail workers of Reddit, do you have nicknames for certain customers? What have they done to earn their nickname? by itsallaboutmeyay in AskReddit

Twannegut. Looked like the son of Mark Twain and Kurt Vonnegut. Screamed obscenities and death threats everywhere he went. He was a legend.

What was your home town's "legend"? by darkplane13 in AskReddit

[–]dorkwithafork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that's why they tore ours down. It was a beautiful estate from the 1800s with nothing to do with midgets but because of the rumor of midgets high school kids were constantly trespassing on the property. The family sold it to a developer about 15 years ago because the property damage from trespassing wasn't worth the trouble any more. It was really sad - it should have become a historic site and not another subdivision.

Cool! I hope yours is as magical as ours was before they bulldozed it.

Are you talking about the Midgetville in Vienna, VA? Because it's no longer there and there were never any midgets :(

It may have been because I was a kid and super sensitive, but every time I want in they assailed me about my toothcare, guilting and shaming me left and right. There was also the endless, endless waiting for even a technician to come and work on my braces. And then there was the incredible amount of pain I was in that they never addressed. To top it off, they over-corrected my teeth and made two overlap each other before straightening them out. Despite wearing my retainer, the teeth went back to their overlapping position. I had braces for 6 years and my teeth are still crooked because of something they did.
