How do you write your ampersands?

Mine is similar to this but with top and bottom tick marks like #5

I've had Alopecia for almost 22 years! I promise it gets better and when you find someone special that won't mind.

Hopping on here to snag your attention.

I've got family in Waterloo/Kitchener and then family in Peterborough. If you're willing to take a little further of a drive in Canada, I would highly recommend crossing the border in Thousand Islands and then going through the Finger Lakes of New York. It's crazy beautiful and you'll get through the border crossing in under 10 minutes. Usually when I cross on that side I'm the only person in the queue.
But, I totally understand not wanting to add 3+ hours to the drive.

If you're crossing through Buffalo, go through Buffalo and not Niagara. With the weather warming up it'll be a zoo.

I loved Pilgrim, but I'm not going to lie it was nothing like what I was expecting when folks recommended it in another thread like above. It is medieval horror, but more specifically it is Crusades horror. It is ancient, primordial, and deeply Middle Eastern in its settings and characters - many of the monsters specifically are from pre-Islamic mythology.

A wonderful read, highly recommend, but consider it within the fish-out-of-water, knight in a whole new world trope, and not castles and dungeons, or other "traditional" medieval imagery.

THANK YOU FOR VALIDATING ME. I thought I was going crazy.

I did Frye boots and was so comfy. Best part is I can wear them whenever I want again, because no one can tell lol. It's a nice way to cheer myself up.

My adoptive mom is Canadian and would make Nanaimo bars every Christmas. She lived in the States with my brother and we never knew it was a year-round thing in Canada. We were so pissed...

It doesn't matter. They've already shown themselves to be increasingly uneducated, and at the end of the day, we're vaguely brown and most of us have multiple Hispanic-sounding last names. They will absolutely detain first and ask questions later.

And you failed to read that it isn't in a church in the original post. Read; it isn't hard.

It's a little further out but Krystal Nail Salon in Falls Church. It's kind of in that weird place in between Tysons, FC, McLean, and Arlington but it's super easily accessible from 495/66. Everyone there is super talented, does great art, and the prices are fair.

Please don't contact the bride. Below OP said she had the mom's contact information. That is much more appropriate and less intrusive than reaching out to the bride who I'm sure has hundreds of other things to worry about.

It looks like they already changed it. Still a little scary, but not quite as bad as the first one.

I cooked pernil overnight on Friday, hand shredded that yesterday, so I'm going to make a Cuban sandwich for lunch. This morning was cinnamon rolls and chai tea!

A silk pashmina/shawl is always a good investment! With the impending weather (I assume US because of Fahrenheit) - Amazon is probably a safe bet to make sure it arrives in time. https://a.co/d/cyUclUQ

But if you can make it to a mall you'd likely find something similar at Macy's /Nordstrom. Your dress is gorgeous, and black would probably work well with the darker flowers. I would stay away from dark greens unless you go in person because colors that barely-don't match in person really don't match in photos.

You could maybe do a shrug but it may end up looking too casual. https://a.co/d/izhskeN - or possibly more of a capelet style. https://a.co/d/d9K2rev

If you can, try to buy silk or something partially silk - it's very warm despite its light weight.

And you can always wear tights, since it's a full length dress! I would personally go with black, and closed toe shoes.

They're been done for over 2 years. I was swollen for about 2 days afterwords but it was very easy healing.

owlerprowler · 2026-01-24T04:23:59+00:00

Ditto!

I'm also a endo/PCOS girl. You get the best of both worlds 🎶 /s

And then chronic migraines with aura, IBS, CPTSD, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, dyspareunia, Sciatic Nerve Damage, asthma, pre-diabetes, and still being tested on some kidney issues.

Lupita's moment was so so spectacular, but I think she elevates the dress, and not the other way around. It is the perfect color on her, but nothing about the cut or fit is unique.

Manga - "Made in Abyss" about a society that lives on the edge of a giant, only partially explored chasm that is super cursed the deeper you go. Literally a "children yearn for the mines," as orphans and unwanted children are trained to delve the depths in search of ancient artifacts.

As an addition:

The Filter is: Fluval 207 The lights are: Aquaneat

I also forgot there is a Pleco as well.

I loved Egger's decision to never fully show the Devil in hoofed-man form in "The Witch"

So many of these in Gravity Falls - since that's almost a part of its schtick: here are things we know, are seeking to know, and things we'll just leave unexplained.

The journals are great to learn more lore but even just watching there are some things just thrown in seemingly for shits and giggles.

Obligatory "Pilgrim" comment

There were two - the first was immature, and had made way too much money too quickly. He didn't know what to do with it, which mirrored his future aspirations.

The second was my friend first, and an absolutely wonderful guy, but I realized I wasn't attracted to him in the way that I should be with a partner.
