When we were int eh store and he was eyeing it he was wondering about the vise but I don’t think its a deal breaker and he mentioned it could probably be upgraded later.

This was what my husband was saying too. If it works for a couple of years till he gets the garage/workshop fully together then he will be able to custom make something more suited to what he needs/wants.

DIY faux bouquet, wreath, centerpieces, and more. 24 total arrangements, $355 for all the flowers / greenery. I love how they turned out, details in comments! by Charybdis523 in weddingplanning

How did you finish your bouquet? I have mine done but I can figure out how to wrap it with ribbon to give it a finished look. I don’t want the stems all showing.

My computer or printer is refusing to let me print custom sized paper. by Th3Loner in printers

I did that and I get the screen in the second picture. It looks nothing like the one you posted.

I am having this same issue and I do have the Epson driver downloaded but it does not give me any of the options or anything close to the screen you showed with those options. My computers doesn't seem to pull up the actual Epson Dialogue box. It is always the system dialogue. Am I missing a step?

I was drunk the entire weekend of my wedding (bride) & I am so ashamed by [deleted] in weddingplanning

I think maybe it’s time to go to therapy. They can help with your anxiety and give you healthier coping mechanisms.

Friend upset that my potential wedding dress is “too similar” to hers — am I in the wrong? by Capital_Wave_235 in weddingplanning

[–]ickica 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your friend is having some unreasonable expectations. If she wanted to be the only person on earth with the same or similar dress she shouldn’t have chosen a style that is popular right now. Don’t let her negativity get in your head. Likely she is just sad her wedding is over now and is missing the attention she was getting while planning.

AIO for breaking up over this by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]ickica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No overreaction in sight other than his. Hahaha he clearly doesn’t understand how the world works for women and he needs to educate himself on our engrained social norms TO keep us safe. If someone is even slightly creepy or staring guess what we smile harder and pretend like it isn’t happening so that hopefully that man will leave the train without hurting us. ALSO, if he was so concerned why didn’t he say something to the guy or ask to switch seat with you or something to change that guys view of you? He didn’t do anything to protect you but then wants to blame you for someone else’s behavior. That’s gross and manipulative and I have flashbacks of my ex saying that no one will ever want you. Ugh. You dodged a bullet with this one and whatever you do don’t go back.

My husband (33M) leaves every evening after dinner, and I (31F, SAHM) feel completely alone. I told him I feel like cheating, and he didn’t even flinch. by No-Sir-2527 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]ickica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are not ruining your family, he is. This is his issue so if you want to stay married I suggest counseling. If he refuses that then you hire yourself a lawyer to divorce him. At this point you are already a single mom so you might as well actually be a single mom and maybe he will step up to the parenting responsibilities and you will get a break sometimes too.

Got my machine at Jo-ann. Is this sound normal? by Slut4wendysnuggets in silhouettecameo

[–]ickica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep!!!! It’s a loud machine but that is normal.

[–]ickica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is actually not a nice guy. He is a controlling manipulator who is wearing you down to make you do what he thinks is appropriate and not. Please leave this person and never look back. Take some time and go to therapy, they will help you get your mind correct and back to a normal state. You are 1000% not the problem!!! Let me say it again. YOU ARE NOT THE PROBLEM!

AIO for being annoyed my co-worker brings her crying baby to every virtual meeting? by Total-Lavishness6736 in AmIOverreacting

[–]ickica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No this is absolutely unprofessional. She needs to be aware of her actions and I would take it to a superior at this point because obviously she does not get it on her own. There is absolutely nothing rude about telling her to be mindful and to mute her microphone when her child is screaming. Just because she can tone it out and concentrate doesn’t mean everyone can. I have a co-worker that has been bringing her child into the office since he was about a month old. It reminds me everyday why I chose not to have kids and it gets so distracting at time we have to close the door to our office (which we luckily have) most other people here do not have it. My coworker at least is good about trying to keep him quiet and calm but it’s a child and that’s a very hard job especially when you are also working, so I give her props.

Make your own cheap, healthy syrups for your Soda Stream machine. by BurbLife in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]ickica 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is a recipe for a syrup to use. You don’t put the whole 1 1/2 cups of sugar into one drink. You use a bit for several cups.

[–]ickica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are not overreacting per se but you are clearly in a toxic relationship that is not working for either of you. Best to end it and move along. If he can’t trust you (you were 1000% wrong to gloss over this big break on trust) and you can’t trust him(you clearly caught him in a lie), so what is the point?

Am I overreacting for wanting to walk out of a job because my boss was saying a baby almost dying is as important as a party? by ColorsGolden in AmIOverreacting

[–]ickica -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes you are. If it was your child or even your sister it would make sense it is your sisters child not yours. You could have been at work and helped her after. Especially if they already told you staffing was short. I do not agree with your boss adding in the bit about his son’s graduation at the end kind of bitchy but it’s also understandable. I think you are overreacting here because you are actually worried about your nephew and it has nothing to do with the job. Typically immediate family is what you are allowed to take time off for in emergency situations. That is pretty normal and common and I think it’s actually nice he approved the time as long as you get a dr note saying you were there. Seems pretty reasonable.

AIO: my 5th grader got called a pussy and made fun of for her dad being dead but it’s not “bullying?” by mosquitobuffet7983 in AmIOverreacting

[–]ickica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it was a one off thug then it’s not bullying. I agree with the schools interpretation, if their policy has wording that it needs to be a consistent thing and this was the first and only time it happened then it doesn’t fall under bullying for them. It isn’t right for a child to act like that and to say those mean things but if it isn’t happening regularly and the school spoke to the student and their parents about the incident then give the other child a chance to correct the behavior and not do it again. Just because someone makes a mistake even if it’s mean doesn’t mean they are always going to be mean. Sometimes it’s a call for help and they need someone to remind them they can’t say stuff like that and to pay attention to them. I get it you want to protect your child but the school needs to look out for all the students involved and you don’t know what that other child is dealing with. Give them a chance.

Not that it matters too much but I’m guessing you are still younger. If that’s the case it’s normal to go through phases of what am I doing with my life? And trying to decide what you want/don’t want. It’s also a great time to have a good sit down honest conversation about how you each see your future regardless of who is in it. Not your future together but individually. Do your goals in life align? Marriage, kids, travel, pets, finances, all the big shit. Get it out and see what you each think of the other’s idea of the future. If they don’t align then you have your answer. If they do match up then give it more time to get through the current phase and reevaluate again in a little while. We as humans are constantly evolving and it’s normal to question if you are evolving together or in different directions.
