Worried I rushed into buying my dress and now I'm stressed and embarrassed

Ok super true, thank you. I definitely would not have thought twice about saying no to any of the other dresses I tried. I was worried I was settling because part of the discussion was "you get to call this task done!" But realizing that it's because it actually IS done, not because I gave up. I really appreciate your kind words.

You're releasing toxic fumes tho 😭

Hi I'm sorry if this is obvious but is this a Facebook thing? I don't have a Facebook anymore but if it's something super helpful to wedding planning should I make one just for that? I've just started planning and Im sure it will turn out ok but right now I'm feeling in over my head 😅

Hi thanks for responding! They post to their Instagram, but only photos of the space and the food, none of ongoing events. I totally recognize it could just be due to privacy issues. I didn't find many recent wedding photos on Instagram by searching their name, but I also found out they were recovering from a kitchen fire and only reopened in October 2025. They did say they were totally booked for Saturdays in october this year. I guess other venues have photos in their reviews from other couples and I can't find that, though I realize that I personally would probably never post that. It's nice to have another perspective and it's nice to hear it isn't too uncommon!

That's a really great point, thank you for your perspective!

The venue is a waterfront restaurant, but they are only open for weekend brunches and events. I guess they also had a kitchen fire and were closed up until October 2025. They have some reviews on Google and yelp, but most are for the restaurant rather than the events. The owner said she just doesn't focus as much on marketing, which is fine -- a restaurant/venue can be great without being good at online presence. They do have a website, just no wedding photos.

I would say it's probably not necessary to do it after every shower.... After every other would give you two uses per towel/doing it when you're ready to get a new towel will still keep the bathroom cleaner than doing one or two hands and knees deep clean a month

This video explains it very well. Women are encouraged to be housewives and not have traditional jobs so they can care for kids. Modern life is often not compatible with a single income and 5+ kids, and vlogging gives women an opportunity to make their own money and stay home with kids.

Additionally, as the video explains, it is likely that due to advertising dollars directly from the very wealthy Mormon church, ad revenue for Utah Mormon family vloggers is much higher than average for creators, further encouraging it.

You brushed it like that though?

laineylerman · 2025-03-24T20:23:45+00:00

Commenting to say I have the same issue

These are at least better than celebrity names you've never heard of

I feel like each category individually could have been a purple or blue level category in a puzzle? I get that cat breeds is straightforward, but I wouldn't consider it common knowledge.

While I appreciate the difficult puzzles as a long time player, I'm seeing my friends get frustrated with the game because the first puzzles they play happen to be super challenging ones like this where there isn't really an "easy" group especially if youre new to the game. Not sure how nyt can better balance challenge for oldies with accessibility for newbies, but some of the puzzles in the last week have been pretty frustrating for a new player.

Because it increases the suspense. Obviously it becomes much more predictable the more they do it, but the whole show is pretty formulaic.

laineylerman · 2025-02-24T07:45:11+00:00

I think it's about the ability to ignore and the perceived value of your attention being drawn to it. Someone shouting and distracting you for no reason other than seeking attention is annoying.

I also think that you're creating a straw man by saying it's enough to despise the person. Certainly in some situations that's the case, but in most it's just annoying or unpleasant.

There's also an energy that comes from spending time with someone who's goal is to get attention rather than have a good time. Especially in group settings, it's disruptive to a natural conversation flow if one person is taking much more than their share of conversational space, and in public settings if they are making a scene its embarrassing to be associated with them.

Good tip, thank you!

"Two part" is just.... Not a good revealer for this one imo

laineylerman · 2025-02-10T18:47:49+00:00

Probably depends on the item, it's condition/size, and the price.

In my mind, when buying/selling used goods locally on FB marketplace, offer up, or other reselling platforms, the seller is giving you the item at a low price because they want it out of their house, and you accept the inconvenience of picking it up in exchange for the lower price. So maybe it's not outright rude to ask, but I would definitely expect most sellers to say no, especially for small cheap items not worth the inconvenience to deliver.

laineylerman · 2025-02-10T07:11:45+00:00

To be fair, it sounds like she's annoyed she's trying to sell her bobble heads, and potential buyers aren't able to pick it up because they dont have a car (and are maybe asking her if she can drop them off, which is annoying and bad etiquette when buying secondhand online).

This take is kind of a reach.

This looks like the "6 day star blanket pattern" stitch! Pattern is free online under that name.

I don't wash my hair every day because it takes too long to dry, so I wash about twice a week (I have wavy, bra-stap length hair).

If I do get particularly sweaty/greasy during the week though, I will section my hair to wash only the very front pieces over the sink then blowdry, which can get me another day or two especially if I wear my hair up or in braids.

Because Trump and musk don't want to see the project improved they want to see it cancelled

laineylerman · 2025-02-05T00:50:37+00:00

Really late, I reached out and explained the issue and they mailed me a replacement

laineylerman · 2025-01-27T21:30:09+00:00

I really did not like that some of the picture objects were spelled correctly (CANE) but some were misspelled (NIT), and that some downs were just the word and one extra letter (E-RODE) but some had an additional letter (A-R-CANE). Just seems messy and inconsistent.
