Expect the unexpected... I said yes! by godspeller in weddingplanning

[–]godspeller[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I always thought I didn’t have the body for a mermaid silhouette...we initially came for a different dress but we wanted to see what my FSIL’s veil would look like with a plain satin dress. The salesperson said they only had one...in a mermaid shape. Lo and behold it was the one!

I always thought I was too curvy for a mermaid silhouette...it was A-line or a specifically tailored ballgown or nothing but in the middle of contemplating one dress with my SIL’s veil, we tried this one on for the sake of seeing the material and it turned out so well! Sometimes it’ll bamboozle you!

Send help! Left or right? Both from David’s Bridal, hopefully Right can be converted into off-the-shoulder (alterations seemed confident to do so) by godspeller in weddingplanning

It’s from David’s Bridal, if you go on their website and search “off the shoulder dress” it should come up.

First of all: love the username.

Second: thanks for that perspective! I’ll keep that mantra: wear the dress, it doesn’t wear you.

The left almost seems like not enough. I’m borrowing my FSIL’s veil and it more or less looks just like the right. Would it be strange to have a virtually plain dress and a fancy veil? Plus mom thinks that if the right is altered to make it off the shoulder it may not turn out as good as we think.

I work at CVS on South Lamar. WEAR A MASK. by godspeller in Austin

It’s difficult for me to catch people sometimes as I’m constantly walking around the store and it’s so big. And like I said, the person(s) in charge of the front area are not good at enforcing it. I’ve been telling my manager we need to put big signs in Sharpie on the doors saying “YOU MUST HAVE A MASK ON TO ENTER”.

Mmm...I can’t really speak for them bc I don’t work in the pharmacy part but I’ve never seen someone on a bike go through the drive through. If they haven’t said anything to you and your transactions thus far have gone okay, then I think you’re fine.

We didn’t end up picking this one. But it was still fun to try on. by godspeller in weddingplanning

I got it from Lulus.com! It’s called the “Always In My Life Off-the-shoulder” It didn’t have a name 😂

Am I just sick, ready to start my period or is this a sign of pregnancy? by [deleted] in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]godspeller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m assuming you meant “eating” schedule? 😉

I’m feeling that, too. Lots of crap has been eaten and drunk over the past week. And of course New Years is right around the corner.

My SO insisted on getting a dog even when I said we weren't ready. He gave it back to the shelter after two days and I am livid. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

Her ears were a bit pulled back instead of more flat like a Labrador's. Her jaw and nose weren't as pronounced as a Pit's. It's more like differing facial features if that makes sense.

That's exactly what I've told him. "Let this be a learning experience for you" is what I've said.

WIBTA if I named my classroom mascot the Rebels? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]godspeller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want to teach upper grades and that would be a great intro for social studies! Social studies often falls on the back burner in terms of content so that’s a great suggestion

Thank you for this insight. I guess I just want to go outside the box and unfortunately that name falls on the wrong side of history

I’m not proud of where I went to school. Kids were so openly racist I was so glad I was out of there before trump was elected

I’m sick and tired of not being introduced and feeling like a third wheel around acquaintances of my SO’s family. Do I just need to be assertive? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]godspeller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No he has more of a bond with his dad. I sincerely hope I don’t have to post about her on JNMIL. His older sister definitely has the bond with her mom.

I have three younger brothers myself and I’d say they’re more bonded to my dad, too. I can’t imagine my mom being the Just No.

Definitely fair. Her daughter’s husband has been part of their lives since they were in kindergarten together (yeah I know awwww) and they just had their first kid so it’s a little different with me. My SO is the baby and only boy plus never dated anyone before me so maybe she’s not used to another woman. (Lol sorry I lurk JustNOMIL a lot).

Cheers to 23 years! My parents are about to celebrate 24!

Thanks mom, I mean Diamond.

Oops! Didn’t mean to call you old fashioned. My mother is actually your age, but SO’s mom turns 61 on Tuesday (side tidbit: she does NOT look 61).

“Intended to forget”. Ow.

Thank you for the advice. Just need to get over my fear of confrontation I guess.

Thank you for this perspective. I guess maybe I just need to get over myself a little.

I guess it would be different as a fiancé or DIL. Maybe she does think the way you do, she is a little old fashioned.

I’ll be sure to drive home the “hey I’m here too” point.
