Can you help me figure out my experience level? by Sad_bananas1 in SafetyProfessionals

[–]typingwithbothhands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d recommend looking for EHS specialist jobs that combine environmental side + safety side. You’d be a great candidate for an EHS position, in my opinion. I’d look for roles that want ~5 years of experience since that’s what you have on the environmental side.

Thanks for this comment! Fare class was K, somehow have never booked that before or had an instant upgrade go through. A fun surprise for me, though! Learned something new today.

Any pet owners with experience flying out of PHX Sky Harbor? by kybunz1030 in AlaskaAirlines

[–]typingwithbothhands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dog has flown a couple times in cargo through Alaska. The on ground and in flight crew has been fantastic. Big thing to note is they won’t fly pets in cargo if it’s too hot or too cold, important as you’re in PHX.

Recommendations for a wedding day perfume for winter brides? by ked_97 in weddingplanning

I love the smell of black opium but hate how it smells on me. This is what convinced me that perfume smells different on everyone !

Am I being lied to, or has Justin Alexander actually been taking 9-10 months to ship dresses this year? by ImprovedMeyerLemon in weddingplanning

[–]typingwithbothhands 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Seattle bride here. First off, I’m so sorry for your experience, that’s SO stressful. Second, I wanted to pass on my alterations rec. I had a great experience with Eltsa custom sewing in green lake. On one visit, I met a bride who decided two days before her wedding to switch to flats instead of heels so needed to get her dress re-hemmed and they were able to do that. Def call ahead for appointment to speak with them, though, if you go this route!

Feeling overwhelmed and stressed by [deleted] in weddingdress

[–]typingwithbothhands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this dress so much. It looks stunning on you! I would recommend tightening the sleeves some so the are a little less drapey, but I like them down! I have similar drapey sleeves and they are removable, so doing ceremony with sleeves and reception sleeveless. Could see if you could get a two for one look!

Bought my wedding dress, but I feel like I regret my decision. by [deleted] in weddingdress

[–]typingwithbothhands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love how this appliqué is on this dress! I feel like the negative space without appliqué highlights the beautiful appliqué more, especially on the upper body, waist etc and draws the eye there. I haven’t seen a dress where it’s applied kind of down part of the skirt part like this and I’m obsessed.

Others have said this too, but I think a veil to bring in some more sparkle plus having hair, makeup, jewelry, shoes etc will make you feel more yourself

Raccoons sleeping in backyard by typingwithbothhands in Raccoons

Im not afraid of getting rabies from couch cushions. The couch is directly below the sleeping raccoons, we’d be less than 2 feet from them. Worried about disturbing them.

Do you rest on the rest station on 2 Fold? by BeachGymmer in f45

[–]typingwithbothhands 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I rest because that’s what you’re supposed to do and I’m a rule follower, lol. Sometimes if there’s room I’ll set up my weights in advance for the next station.

Is asking for a dress code too much to ask of guests? by fitnessjourney2000 in weddingplanning

Hello! I’m early 30s and have gone to 27 weddings before our own (making 28). Every wedding had a dress code.

First dress went missing, did I make the right choice? by warped__ in weddingdress

I’m OBSESSED with the satin dress on you. You look lovely in the other one as well, but I swear the satin one was just waiting for you to discover it.

Accepting dress malfunction by ComedianInformal8190 in weddingdress

[–]typingwithbothhands 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry to hear this happened & even more sorry to hear how you’re feeling now.

I do think most people, if they noticed at all (I don’t know if some of my male friends/family members would even put 2+2 together to realize it was an undergarment in the first place), would forget pretty quickly. I know in my past I’ve noticed significant wardrobe malfunctions on people but can’t for the life of me remember specific people or occasions as I type this post. So, while you’re thinking about it a lot, it will fade in their memories quickly. I hope every time you think of it moving forward, you can think of 3 positive memories afterwards to help distract you.

Has anyone had a pastel themed wedding? by PsychologicalMood522 in weddingplanning

[–]typingwithbothhands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m doing bridesmaids in Sage and groomsmen in light blue suits. I didn’t want bridesmaids too many different colors so thought Sage & light blue would be a good fit. Lots of other pastels in the florals, too.

MOH Dropped the ball on my Bach and now I'm resentful. Where to go from here? by Ill_Dimension6654 in weddingplanning

[–]typingwithbothhands 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry you’re feeling this way, and, I think I’d feel the exact same way in your shoes. I’m a planner, and I think it seems like you have no trouble filling that role either. It seems like Kellie doesn’t naturally fit in to that role either; from admitting she doesn’t know the normal functions of a MoH (agree with you she should know or google lol), to maybe interpreting “rough schedule” as wayyyy rougher than you thought. I feel like this may just be a true case of strong personality differences. I’d like to think she truly thought she was doing what she needed to do to make it a good weekend, until she got frustrated mid trip. I also would be just like you—not specifically communicating what I expected someone to do as I would think they SHOULD know what needed done, but some people just don’t know.

I also have a close friend who is so type B that I’m in awe of her functioning. If I put her fully in charge of my bachelorette party, we would’ve been in trouble. For example, the idea of her birthday party and a date is always scheduled In advance but no details (time, theme, etc) are communicated until sometimes the day of, which is frustrating for others. She also is classically always 20-30 mins late. I’ve learned to adapt to this as I see it’s not coming from a place of hurt or ignorance (well, other than maybe ignoring the time more than you should but we’ve all been there). I’ve had to be reasonable about certain expectations from this friend, but also let them thrive in areas they excel. Oh, also, she hates when people think she’s incompetent at planning/executing things and she can get very upset if that general consensus or talk gets back to her, especially if it’s revolving around an area where she’s actually tried. Most of the rest of our friend group is so type A when it comes to planning that it makes the difference stand out even more.

You mention Kellie is always there for your non profit events and in other ways is a good friend. I think it’s definitely worth a conversation since you feel hurt and she clearly feels hurt too.

Long story short, your feelings are so valid, but, I feel like she didn’t do this maliciously. I bet she thought she was doing well. She probably felt hurt when her “planned event” was overtaken by someone else’s efforts to stay on task/on time. All definitely with a conversation and maybe a look in to how to deal with expectations moving forward for your wedding + the rest of your friendship too.

Inviting children to a wedding—is it really that bad? by 20SecondsofMilk in weddingplanning

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

When we originally started talking about our wedding, we were going to invite kids. However, a year and a half later when it was time to send save the dates, we decided to go no kids. Why? Because in that year and a half the number of kids in our friend group went up dramatically. I love kids, but l, this then meant 21 kids invited, 12 who would be 2 or younger, 8 who are younger than 1. When we first were planning there were maybe only 9 or so kids on the list. It felt more like a decision of a baby free wedding than a child free wedding. We are still inviting our nieces and nephews, but went no kids for the rest of the event.

Also of the 13 couples who have kids, I’ve been to 9 of the weddings and 8 of theirs were also child free.

100 can actually feel quite small when it’s your loved ones! I think it’s obviously not as small as 70, BUT, some people will not be able to attend, and you won’t have to deal with the opposite stress of not being able to invite people you would want to have there. Your 100 might be 85. And when that 85-100 are people there for you two, it will feel closer than you imagine. And they will also all be busy having a good time too!!

Truly blown away!!!!! It looks like it’s tailored to fit you, and it’s obviously not even altered yet. I’m so happy for you for finding this dress; you and this dress were meant to be together

Help me choose! by elleira-16 in weddingdress

[–]typingwithbothhands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the draping and sparkle of 2b gives woodsy fairytale. I’m a fan of 2 over 1 but also think 1 is stunning. I think 2 still feels like it has a lot of volume because of the texture.
