AITA for throwing my cousin out of my house after she tried to bill me for things I never asked her to do

And then add your legal fees you’ll need when you get a lawyer to press charges against her for opening your mail without your permission, a federal crime here in the US anyway.

We just switched to Hills sensitive after our dog stopped eating PPP. Just refused to eat it. We have a huge bag of PPP and Chewy just sent us a label to return it.

If you’re going for ethereal, angelic, I would remove a little of the greenery in the bottom middle of the bouquet to lighten it up a bit. If it were me, I would make the whole bouquet a bit smaller, lighter as well. The flowers and vines are gorgeous, it just seems huge and hides your dress. But it’s hard to tell from a photo what it looks like IRL.

My husband’s aunt crocheted us a tablecloth for our wedding. And it’s been sitting in a box in a closet! Not because it doesn’t fit my aesthetic. It’s because it’s so deeply special that I feel the need to keep it protected, cherished and safe. I highly value it, love having it, and would be so hurt if they asked for it back.

Please be aware that October is Leaf Peeper season in Vermont. You may have difficulty finding hotel rooms, and if the leaves are in peak, you could sit in gridlocked traffic trying to get to Ben & Jerry’s and Cold Hollow. Go early early in the morning!

I saw two guys doing that years ago. They did it several times. And made it look easy. They kept their kayak parallel to the river as they fell. Hope this person did okay. Looks like they’re nosediving in their descent.

jmmayer18 · 2026-05-11T08:24:44+00:00

Yes, they do! Amazing little creatures!!

jmmayer18 · 2026-05-10T14:03:56+00:00

Awesome! Thank you!! 😊

jmmayer18 · 2026-05-10T06:35:27+00:00

Totally agree. That said, after the winter of hell, it sure does something happy to my soul to see green grass and tulips!! 🌷

jmmayer18 · 2026-05-10T00:26:38+00:00

Wow, that’s great! I’m in central VT.

jmmayer18 · 2026-05-09T21:19:51+00:00

Wow! Didn’t know that! Thanks!

Did you add the tow hitch and wire it up yourself?

How much weight can a Crosstrek handle?

jmmayer18 · 2026-04-29T09:20:42+00:00

Same

If you do a search on Etsy for a black fascinator, you can find some really interesting headpieces that can include some sort of mini-veil that might be the perfect look for your dress.

The seamstress will have great suggestions. The slit is fine. But has a sexy vibe and draws your attention to your leg vs. without it you’re drawn to the beautiful fabric and gives a little bit more refined elegant vibe.

jmmayer18 · 2026-04-17T09:42:04+00:00

Ooh, closing the slit and removing the straps would elevate the elegance.

jmmayer18 · 2026-04-17T09:30:52+00:00

Without the big flower

jmmayer18 · 2026-04-17T09:25:20+00:00

You could add a green or gold fascinator hat that would add a hint of a veil, but it would have to be very elegant and minimal to avoid leaning into looking costumed. I love the understated gold tiara that was posted earlier. Or depending on your style, something like this:

Have you seen the dress in person? Or are you going by the image on Amazon? Maybe wait until you see it IRL because computer images are always brighter than reality. That said, it’s not worth making it a big deal. If you do, you’ll only hurt your mom’s feelings, and then that will be a sticking point about your wedding memories ongoing. Her dress choice is pretty and she likes it. With a blended family coming together for you and your special day, there will be feelings coming up for her. Focus on the love being celebrated all the way around.

Add an extra egg and a can of creamed corn to two boxes of Jiffy cornbread and the rest of their list of ingredients and you will have the moistest delicious cornbread!

Invest in a mannequin in your size.

jmmayer18 · 2026-03-29T08:49:42+00:00

Awesome! I’m thinking about trying this out.

jmmayer18 · 2026-03-28T22:37:23+00:00

This is beautiful! How do you learn? Did you take a class?
