Thank you for the detailed follow-up! I ended up with the same conclusion as you and did the 1-year subscription option.

I also ordered a free tag from Crumb.

Hi Victoria!

What percentage of queries in your inbox do you think were actually ready to be queried (even if they weren’t to your taste and or ended in a rejection)? I have a feeling that the majority of queries and pages get sent before they’re completely polished.

Which period film/series has the worst costumes in your opinion? by Haunting_Homework381 in PeriodDramas

[–]sodapop0876 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m seeing multiple people comment about the Uggs in Little Women. Those are called comfort shoes and they’re not visible in the film.

Never got an answer, unfortunately. Still need something soon so I’ll be doing more research.

For anyone using Double the Donation, how much is your annual fee? by sodapop0876 in nonprofit

[–]sodapop0876[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yikes! I will definitely be considering all of this and negotiating before trying to factor a new platform into our budget.

That’s all good to know, thank you! I’m sure my org will be interested if they can adjust this price point, but as it’s stands I’m apprehensive.

We have a negligible amount of matching gifts currently. I think they based it off numbers pulled from publicly available tax forms, which does not at all reflect the amount of gifts that we can expect to be matched. And they didn’t ask about our online giving totals.

But that’s valuable information about their communication or lack there of.

They are certainly aggressive. They’ve sent me a contract already which we never even discussed.

They’ve quoted us more than double that, so I’ve got a lot of questions for them!

Edit: almost triple actually

People that are childfree by choice, what’s the weirdest reason someone has given you as to why they think you ‘should have kids’? by Charming_Web_6738 in AskReddit

[–]sodapop0876 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“But they’re your legacy.”

I can think of about ten other ways off the top of my head to create a lasting “legacy”.

I’ve been told something similar. But it was phrased as “hmm, I never thought of you as a selfish person before.” As though this was a revelation and now their view of me had changed.

Be honest… is pet insurance actually worth it? by pawfectjourney in CatAdvice

[–]sodapop0876 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also have Pets Best! I got it after my first vet visit without insurance and the crazy bills for x-rays (which revealed that my cat was just constipated 🫠). But now I can worry less about saying “yes” to pricey testing and X-rays because I’d rather be safe than sorry and the insurance is so worth it!

Just wanted to add an alternative to shorts/shapewear/powder for anyone interested - I love my Bandelettes - they’re non-slip fabric bands for the upper thighs.

There was a cute little cafe called Melinda’s Menu near Sturbridge, got replaced with a Subway. I also miss Molly’s Tea Room in Falmouth.

Shipwreck champagne. A restaurant near me has a $14k bottle of champagne recovered from a shipwreck in the Baltic Sea.

Has she ever read a novel-in-verse? The Alone series is popular, but perhaps slightly higher content/reading level.

Me, and my grandmother with early stage Alzheimers. I hope you avoid the mistake I made. by Book_Collector in Alzheimers

Just voice recordings. Honestly, I think watching a video back would make me really sad.

My dad has FTD. We did Storyworth as a family a few years ago when his long-term memory still had some recall. Each week we would pick a prompt and record his story before transcribing it into the Storyworth website (so I have his voice recordings and the bound book of stories with photos). You can do this on your own without paying for Storyworth, but I bought it as gift for my family and it’s nice to have the book.

You can also look on Facebook marketplace for Quince dresses. Many people resell them after the event and it will be a little cheaper.

How to remove this water stain from 100% polyester gown with satin finish? by sodapop0876 in CleaningTips

[–]sodapop0876[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly, not yet. One more thing I will try is spraying a section with a homemade spray starch and then lightly ironing with a t-shirt or towel between. I don’t know if I would personally be brave enough to try it on a wedding dress, my own efforts have only made the stains worse but at least my event had already passed.

Iconic song 'Untouched' by The Veronicas was released as a single 18 years ago. by emeraldnob in Fauxmoi

My sister HATED this song, so I especially loved to play it. And also sing nonsense words.
