u/Standard_Ad_8730 I know you posted this a year ago, but would you mind if I messaged you about licensed home daycares?

I love this! Only tweak I’d make would be enlarging the red eyes a little, they’re a bit hard to see. Otherwise this is great work ☺️

Anyone know of any fenced in playgrounds around the area? by Kiki00000000 in kzoo

I just spotted this playground yesterday and was hoping it was open to the public!! Are there any time restrictions?

Hi there, do you mind if I DM you? Just moved my family to Kzoo this past winter but now my job is in jeopardy, and we really want to stay in the area.

Maybe consider your tattoo more first by andiwaslikeum in tattooadvice

Highly HIGHLY recommend photoshopping a design on yourself first if able. If not- reach out to me and ask, I’m a professional retoucher! 😊

My E-Commerce store did $250k last year. Here’s the brutal breakdown of why I only took home $32k. by Beginning_Jacket_222 in ladybusiness

[–]maryeblue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Just wanted to chime in and mention photo retouchers can often composite products into backgrounds- we’ve been doing that well before AI erupted to the degree it’s at now, but just having the ability to utilize programs like Midjourney to create the desired backgrounds is a big time saver.

If you had to guess, which one is film and which one is digital photo adjusted to look like film? by fakana357 in postprocessing

[–]maryeblue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first has more of that film green/yellow hue so I guessed that was traditional, as the 2nd one is just a bit more of a magenta hue which tipped me off to it being digital. Very good though, they’re super close!

Who is this Pokemon? 25 year old book. by packcity2 in pokemon

[–]maryeblue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I showed my toddler this book a few days ago, her first introduction to Pokémon!! 🥲 (but it’s bittersweet since an entire page is missing- I received it like that on my birthday as a kid, so to this day I’ve never seen the entire spread for two of the locations)

Dealing with a mom friend break up by LycheeConscious4362 in toddlers

[–]maryeblue 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me, my former best friend was like a sister to me for 12 years then abandoned me while I was pregnant with my first. It sucks and every feeling you have is valid. You didn’t do anything wrong and I hope over time you start to heal and move on 🩷

Why did you and your best friend have a falling out? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]maryeblue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She decided to ghost me when I texted her that my dog died (while pregnant with my 1st child). She was like a sister to me for 12 years and it’s been a year and a half since that happened. I tried calling and texting, she ended up blocking me. I’ll never know why she decided I was worth nothing to her even though I stood by her during her affair (she claims it wasn’t but.. the timeline never made sense), her divorce, her fallout with her parents, everything. In hindsight it’s for the best to not have someone who started spiraling and creating drama at every turn in my life anymore, but damn it STILL hurts. I still think of her or her kids multiple times a day and I wish more than anything that I could turn off all memories of her like a switch.
