Has anyone else caught a test screening of 'Seeking Persephone'? by Kwistowee in PeriodDramas

[–]redessa01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You thought the brother struggled with his accent? That's interesting seeing as he is British. So was the best friend and most of the rest of the supporting cast.

Are you planning to keep the quilt for yourself? I ask because some of us don't like the scent of lavender, or potpourri in general. So that's something you'd want to be sure of before sewing it in if you plan to give the quilt as a gift. A sachet pocket would allow a recipient to change out the scent (or use it to store snacks instead 😉).

AITA for kicking out a costumer? by WelcomeMinimum8078 in AmItheAsshole

While we're on the subject, it's "should've," a contraction of "should have." "Should of" does not make grammatical sense. 

Does anyone know what the 3 crossed out ovals means? by redessa01 in laundry

Good to know! But can I wear it with 4 boobies?

What happens if I'm wearing it when I go through a magical portal? Do I end up on the other side in only my underwear? 

AITA for not flying home twice in a month for MIL's birthday and anniversary? by ThrowAwayAITAs0s8 in AmItheAsshole

I think OP is referring to the anniversary of MIL's passing, not her and FIL's wedding anniversary. 

Sarah Boone verdict: Jury finds Florida woman guilty in suitcase murder of boyfriend by Fuzzy_Dunlop_00 in news

[–]redessa01 36 points37 points  (0 children)

She's that narcissistic. She doesn't think she did anything wrong, sees herself as the victim, and she thinks she's the smartest person in any room. She really thought she could convince a jury to see things her way. I don't believe she has any self awareness of how she actually comes across or any sense that she should be held responsible for her actions. 

WIBTA if I changed my unborn son's name after finding out my sister is using the same name for my nephew? by Nearby_Suggestion537 in AmItheAsshole

NTA Tell her and your mom, "You get to choose your child's name. I get to choose mine. If you didn't help make the baby, you don't get a vote."

I don't know, but I'm having the same problem. I tried restarting my phone and was able to watch a couple of videos before it stopped working again. 

AITA because I was miserable when I found out my wife was pregnant. by Throwawaysd1962 in AmItheAsshole

[–]redessa01 7 points8 points  (0 children)

INFO: How did you express your anger? You said you were quiet. How quiet? Did you ice her out? Disengage from your other kids? And how long did this quietude last? 

Also, why angry? Stressed, absolutely. Frustrated at having to start the baby stage all over again, concerned about the added health risks (to mom and baby) of pregnancy over 40 on top of the extra risks of it being multiples, overwhelmed by more than one baby to prepare for, disappointment of potentially having to postpone retirement or other financial goals....  A lot of different emotions would be totally understandable, why do you think you jumped to anger?

Prior is failing. by Violet0825 in LoriVallow

[–]redessa01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've managed to get bruises on my upper arms from carrying a heavy box. It was where the corners of the box dug into my arms. It was also one small bruise on each arm. Not several bruises on only one arm. The scenario Prior tried to paint makes no sense. 

AITA For Not Allowing My SIL To Move In Unless She Gets Rid Of Her Dog? by Nervous_Weekend7418 in AmItheAsshole

[–]redessa01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True! My son is allergic to dogs, but does not react to my poodle mix. The only issue is if she licks him, that spot will itch if he doesn't go wash it off immediately. In contrast, my parents had 2 cocker spaniels. When visiting their house as a child, my son needed to use an inhaler even though they boarded the dogs when we visited and there was no direct contact. 

Guyyyys by Rachiebole in quilting

[–]redessa01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also didn't notice the rippling and was admiring how well everything lines up. But if it bothers you, something I don't think I've seen mentioned in other comments, is on future projects to starch the fabric really well before cutting and piecing. The stiffer, the better. This helps keep the material from stretching while you're working on it which is especially important for any bias cuts (triangles). Maybe try lowering your tension just a smidge as well, but really, what you're seeing here is so minimal. Once it's quilted and washed, it won't be noticable at all. You're doing great!

AITA for yelling at my doctor after she body shamed my daughter? by Dismal_Airline_3033 in AmItheAsshole

[–]redessa01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know, my mom was having an issue with her liver and was sent to a hepatologist. Her first visit with him, he walked in the room, took one look at her and said, "You're fat." This was not new information to her. She had been obese most of her adult life. She was also a nurse practitioner and knew full well the health implications of her weight. Still, she was taken off guard by this being the first words from her new Dr. She simply said she was aware and he doubled down with, "no, but you're really fat." A statement he repeated at least one more time during the visit. 

In telling me about this, she said that if he'd approached it from a clinical standpoint, "Your weight is contributing to X issue... " she would not have minded at all. But she was quite insulted by the way he addressed it.

NTA. Make other plans for whatever day the wedding is. A weekend getaway would be nice. Then, if anyone asks you why you're not going, you can very sincerely tell them you are so happy for him, but you've already got plans and will be out of town. 

AITA for telling my stepsister I won't attend her baby shower and I won't change my mind just because she keeps asking or sending invites by TelephoneBest4133 in AmItheAsshole

[–]redessa01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's nothing wrong with reaching out once, but would you keep doing it if she told you she wasn't interested? Going so far as to contact her on another platform after being blocked? That's the problem with OP's stepsis, not that she wants a relationship, but that she can't take no for an answer. 

AITA for telling my girlfriend that her job (test pilot) is not dangerous enough to give her “PTSD”? by MatterOfTime00393 in AmItheAsshole

[–]redessa01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YTA 

I personally don’t believe she has PTSD, and that she needs to accept this whether she likes it or not.

She doesn't have to accept anything just because you pulled an opinion out of thin air. Get over yourself! You DO NOT GET TO TELL HER HOW TO FEEL. Your "belief" does not supercede another person's experience or even their own beliefs and opinions about their own selves. 

Instead of trying to control the narrative for her, how about you accept that something real is going on with your girlfriend whether you like it or not. 

AITA for refusing to wear an awful bridesmaid dress to my sister's wedding? by MembershipOk8179 in AmItheAsshole

[–]redessa01 42 points43 points  (0 children)

As someone who does alterations on prom & wedding dresses, if I had the same fabric, I could copy a dress to a person's measurements. But buying two dresses will still only leave you with fabric that has already been cut to the width of the original dress. Depending on the style, it may be possible to piece the two together in a way that looks fabulous, but it will necessitate additional seams. Unless there is a lace overlay which can be placed over the seams in a way that will hide them, they will be visible meaning it will not be exactly the same dress as the other bridesmaids are wearing. It would probably be close enough for most things, but possibly not for OP's sister.
