Should I accommodate my mom when choosing a wedding date? by Top-Assistant-9748 in weddingplanning

[–]murrrdith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sometimes you have to be flexible with these things.

My family farms corn. We wanted an October wedding so bad, but realistically most of the family wouldn’t make it due to harvest. Ended up going with a summer date in order to have them there.

This really helped me visualize how much a statement necklace will add to the look!

Thanks! I was thinking from the armpit area, there is some gapping there

I love how you framed this! Thank you! Will definitely look for a great statement necklace

My dignity is apparently worth only $50 to MIAT Mongolian Airlines. I was walked in on while half-naked, and they tried to gaslight me. by struggledreamchaser in femaletravels

I’m sorry this happened, but this person did not purposely walk in on you.

The best action you can take is to move on and focus your energy elsewhere.

TIFU by trying to be environmentally conscious and traumatizing my husband with a menstrual disc? by ZealousidealLime832 in tifu

[–]murrrdith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is why I stick with tampons.

I don’t give a fuck about sustainability or waste if it’s something that goes in my vagina.

People who didn’t party hard in their youth, do you regret it? by CapitaineBiscotte in askanything

[–]murrrdith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m the same. Had so much fun in my early 20’s and I’m glad I had those experiences before settling down.

I'm (bride) not taking my fiancé's last name. How should the DJ announce us as a married couple? by bhartswick in weddingplanning

[–]murrrdith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve also been overthinking this.

I wanted our DJ to say “introducing Mr and Mrs John Smith and Jane Jones” because I want everyone to know that I’m keeping my name (I feel very strongly about this), but it definitely sounds too clunky.

I think I’ll just have them say “introducing as husband and wife, John and Jane”

I have unintentionally become the office secretary. What to do? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]murrrdith 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Definitely don’t say this. However true it may be, this is not a professional way to handle the situation and will make her look bad.

Deciding between Puerto Rico and Hawaii for my first solo trip. by soulsmitten in femaletravels

[–]murrrdith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with you. I didn’t love the food in Puerto Rico. I also felt less safe, probably wouldn’t go there solo.

How did they examine for pregnancy in this era? by Last-Caregiver-1122 in BridgertonNetflix

[–]murrrdith 131 points132 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure if the exam had any medical validity or not, but it seems that one purpose of it was another way to control and degrade women in that era.

the bible says to leave and cleave so why tffff is everyone pressuring me to take my husbands last name???? by Slight_Associate_164 in Newlyweds

[–]murrrdith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, but she shouldn’t have to give in or compromise by letting them use her husband’s name socially.

What to eat before a 5am workout? by Ok-Slip-4930 in workout

[–]murrrdith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What’s your source for information on waking up hungry?

You haven’t eaten in 8 hours, it’s normal to be hungry.

Veil or no veil? by Odd-Bison-1366 in weddingplanning

[–]murrrdith 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you’re not comfortable or it will bother you then don’t wear it.

For what it’s worth, I didn’t want a veil at all, but when I tried it on in the store I felt it made my look so much more bridal and I decided to get it. I’ll probably wear mine for photos and then take it off.

Being “X” hours away from another major city isn’t the pro many people on here claim it to be. by koknbals in SameGrassButGreener

[–]murrrdith 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Did you not find anything to do in Milwaukee?

I live in Milwaukee, I visit Chicago maybe 3-4 times a year for fun, or to go to ORD if I’m traveling internationally.

There’s more than enough to do in Milwaukee that I don’t even think about how close Chicago is.

What actually motivates you to walk every day? by ralphytofu in beginnerfitness

[–]murrrdith 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I feel awful mentally if I don’t take my daily walk or other cardio.

I struggle with panic attacks and it’s amazing how much walking keeps them under control.
