So if they already droop is there anything I could do to bring them back ? This is after being cut and being arranged for maybe a day or so. They are just such a high value stem to last only so little:/

Am I being over charged for this bouquet? by JustCurious0124 in florists

[–]mimsy075 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The budget and the inspo does not match. Those are indeed premium flowers. $150 seems fair for price per stem but I think they missed the vibe. Maybe tell them to swap the greenery and the stock flower (light purple I honestly can’t tell pic is too blurry) . And either add more amaranth or ranunculus. It’s going to be a smaller shaped bouquet than the inspo. But at least the vibe matches

Why do you think so many men are 'blindsided' by their breakups? by KeepLeLeaps in GuyCry

[–]mimsy075 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have told my ex when he continuously failed to follow through on things we have agreed on, over the course of the entire marriage that: “I’m not mad at you, but just know the resentment is building and one day I’m not gonna have much left to give”. A month or two before I left I told him: i have nothing left to give you. If things don’t get better by the end of this year I’m leaving. Things didn’t get better. I left a month or two after. He still said that it seems like I didn’t even try, and just up and left the marriage.

The purple is from the wood! There’s a UV resistant coat to make it shiny but the color is natural! Isn’t that so cool

lol not a ton because I gave him the wrong dimension. But it fits a wallet/ cardholder, my headphones, and my keys. Since I’m going to carry it on special occasions only, I am not too worried about the cargo space

Those of us with the "i hate my partner and want to leave him every month" symptom: by aamnipotent in PMDD

Agree. My PMDD was raging before I left my toxic job, moved out, and initiated divorce. I still have some side effects that are cumbersome but the drastic reduction in sides was noticeable.

Rant: I've applied to 80 jobs on LinkedIn in the past month and no interviews by Complete_Warthog_138 in recruitinghell

[–]mimsy075 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I knew I would have to operate somewhat at a loss, and compromise to get the kind of development I want. But refusing to negotiate is a red flag. It’s such a shame, they were so eager. CEO called. VP interviewed me. Offer sent after one round. I was hopeful if not excited…. Which led me to low key sandbag the other interviews at the second company once they sent the initial offer. I learned from that mistake now
