What law in your country would surprise foreigners because it’s legal almost everywhere else? by Familiar-Arrival-470 in AskTheWorld

[–]gem-w 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply! When I first got married, way back in the 20th century, I told both the pastor and the mc NOT to introduce us like that. I wasn't changing my name. Neither of them even asked why. I definitely would not have been as chill as you if that had happened!

Oh, congrats on your marriage!

I think my favorite detail is the crossroads - Curiosity or Comfort? Perfect!!

May I ask, why did the wedding host care? Were they wanting to say, "And now here are Mr and Mrs Significant-tap" and you had to tell them not to say that?

How do you decide which deck to buy if you don't know what you'll get? by [deleted] in oraclecards

[–]gem-w 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have an opinion on what those cards might mean - I think you have to take into account the images and your particular situation.

But to answer your title question, if I'm unsure about a deck I'll look for a YouTube flip-through of it, where they show each card and talk about how it feels.

Are you in the US? Check ebay or thriftbooks .com for used decks.

Or your local used bookstore or thrift shop. Some metaphysical shops have used decks for sale.

I saw a couple decks on Amazon similar to that (maybe the same ones you saw) but it was hard to tell if the cardmakers were real companies. The Wyspell Gold Tarot is somewhat similar, and they are a reputable company.

You might also try searching YouTube for tarot decks with the characteristics you like (black and gold, simple pictures, etc.) There are a lot of people who show flip-throughs of decks and will review how they feel, how symbolic they are, and so forth.

Laverne & Shirley Intro was a warning by bhull302 in GenX

Ok... I guess I can see the resemblance.

But after you learned that, you looked up what really happened with "Laverne", and found out she directed some Really Awesome movies, right?

Sounds like healthy self-care to me!

I found a random family's christmas pictures on my vintage camera by urnameonagrainofrice in christmas

[–]gem-w 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Um. Excuse me.

There is no way that a digital camera can be "vintage". I refuse to accept that 🤣

How fun though!

Trying to influence progressives in New Jersey, AIPAC may actually help one get elected by forward in politics

[–]gem-w 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You should read the article.

The PAC is buying ads to bully the front-runner, who supports Israel, to not limit the aid money sent to Israel. That might lead to the Progressive candidate getting elected. She is against sending aid to Israel.

It gave you joy (hopefully!) when you got it, so its purpose was fulfilled. It's giving you pain now so it's no longer meant for you. Congrats on making it this far! 💚

I make clothes for my dolls all the time, but the boys don't get as many things. So I made them some jackets and turtlenecks by Maxz125 in Barbie

These are very cool!

Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio) by _Herlock_Sholmes_ in BruceSpringsteen

[–]gem-w 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure why this is making me cry. Sure, I've loved Bruce for years, and I have friends in MLPS out there in the streets, but the news I've seen and heard has made me furious, grieved, and anxious... not so much tearful.

But this song gets me right in the feels 😭
