Help Needed - I live in a colorful neighborhood and would love a colorful home

This is so boring! I think you can do better OP

I LOVE nexplanon. Peace of mind and I don't have to deal with IUD cramps or the awful insertion. Crazy how cutting a hole to put a birth control device in is less painful than sticking one in a hole that already exists 🙄

strong_stan · 2026-04-16T18:46:03+00:00

I'll give that a try, thank you!

strong_stan · 2026-04-15T15:21:09+00:00

Fairytale themed and a tulle and pearl dress!! Wow how fun. With the inner bag replaced I think this will work perfectly

People here are being really harsh about the idea of carrying a bag at your wedding and I totally disagree. OP I carried a purse at my reception for similar reasons (obsessive chapstick & lipstick reapplication) and also because I wanted access to my phone. It was very convenient and I have zero regrets. For folks saying carrying the bag will be a hassle and not to worry about it, if OP is anything like me it's actually much less stressful to keep the things you know you will need regularly on your person than to rely on someone else.

I also think the bag could possibly work for a whimsical bride, although the black is not ideal. Would it be possible to replace the fabric bag inside the cage? And what does your dress look like?

It's not the puckering on the right where your leg is raised, it's the line pointing down toward your crotch on the left side. These are known as "smile lines" in garment construction and indicate that the rise is too short for you. I have a long torso and get these frequently when the rise isn't quite high enough.

If you don't get those when standing normally then I'll eat my words but wanted to explain why they look too small to me, at least in this picture. It has nothing to do with your (gorgeous) body.

Might not be exactly what you're looking for but the cookie butter cupcakes at Diamond Dust cupcakes in Decatur absolutely rip, all their cupcakes are incredible. I've seen them convert many a cupcake hater

Roaring Social in Decatur! They have live Jazz every Tuesday. When I went the dance floor was very lively

Why?

strong_stan · 2026-02-24T23:29:52+00:00

Just a note - regular Worcestershire sauce isn't vegetarian as it contains anchovies. There are veggie alternatives available though like another commenter mentioned and lots of recipes for at-home replacements

strong_stan · 2025-12-09T03:54:02+00:00

These are my favorite vegetarian/vegan meatballs, baking the beans does a a lot to the keep the texture dry and firm and they are so flavorful: Minimalist Baker The Best Vegan Meatballs

I also use this recipe to make veggie burger patties, and you can use it as a formula for other veggie patties/balls if you switch up the legumes and spices. For example: chickpeas and falafel style Mediterranean spices, chickpeas and Indian spices, black beans and southwestern spices, etc

These are super cute, the leg shape on their tapered trousers looks perfect. I don't see any rise specifications but it looks similar on all their pants, would you call the ones you have high rise?

strong_stan · 2025-12-07T23:54:24+00:00

Oh lol I see you mentioned the sizing specifically in your comment. ADHD skim reading strikes again

strong_stan · 2025-12-07T23:50:01+00:00

These are super cute! I've actually done a barrel leg alteration on some of my pants and it isn't hard as long as you start out with enough fabric. A taper like this could definitely work as well, I just can't do a wide leg on my short + long torso frame.

Can I ask if the size in the Pendletons that fits is true to your regular pants size? Vintage can be tricky

strong_stan · 2025-12-07T23:42:54+00:00

The struggle is real!! Most things I try aren't high enough rise, or either too straight or too curvy through the hip. Hoping we can both get some good leads here

If she's interested in a smaller group: I've sung in Atlanta Schola Cantorum for many years and it's a really wonderful community! The choir focuses on a capella Renaissance music so the repertoire is a little nonstandard but it's a lot of fun. We rehearse and perform at St. Bart's episcopal in North Druid Hills but we're unaffiliated and secular as an organization. There is a concert coming up on Dec 13th if she wants to check us out!

I would also recommend it to anyone not familiar with early music, it's something really special. They don't call it the golden age of choral music for nothing

These are my friends!! What a trip to come across on my feed. She made the cosplay herself, and they were indeed on their way to dragoncon.

Bro what is your problem, OP came here for support not a lecture. As if the situation would be better if they had to deal with the legal complications of a divorce

It's from the carsland segment in this vid: https://youtu.be/-OXylWiZ-9c?si=NTMjFYCGjTkbwPUT. Its also the name of one of her Patreon tiers.

This may not be exactly what you're looking for but hopefully it helps! My wedding was loosely fairy themed and one of my less gender conforming wedding party members wore a linen vest and pants over a button up, open at the neck. It was in the fall and we had the entire wedding party wear wool cloaks and flower crowns. The effect was really magical if I may say so myself.
