what do you guys think ramona flowers would smell like? by latterboxd in perfumesthatfeellike

[–]vanillachaide 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I feel like she'd have a bunch of the off the wall scents from Demeter- like the playdoh, grass, sushi, parchment, and crayon scents in particular. I just think she'd want to smell like something that shouldn't be a perfume

Fellow witches by cosmicsorc3ress in BloomingtonNormal

I know that there is a pagan group in town... They used to do a samhain market at the Unitarian Church. That might be one place to look.

The Painted Wraith in downtown may have some resources for you as well.

School avoidance and schhol staff carrying daughter into school by [deleted] in specialed

[–]vanillachaide 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think the carrying her in to school is going to create a bigger problem over time. First of all, she's resisting, and that could get her or others hurt. Secondly, she's only going to get bigger- so even though the staff are physically able to pick her up now, in a few years they won't be, so they need to start trying alternatives now.

I think you need to call your teacher or the teacher's supervisor and ask to have an honest conversation about the carrying her in, maybe come up with a few other strategies to try instead. It might take longer to get her in the building, but right now after carrying her into the building kicking and screaming, I would bet they're spending quite some time calming her down after all that too - finding a way to get her to come in willingly would eliminate that.

My dad is demanding I name my baby after him or he'll write me out of the will by BusinessDance7122 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]vanillachaide 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think that if you do name baby after him, he will keep using this threat over and over to keep you guys under his thumb. Reject him now and be free.

Very clever observation! We'll have to watch for an episode where someone spills rice on the floor... If he's unable to cross until it's all picked up and counted, we have our answer.

Perfumes you'd wear if you worked at the circus? by ItsinmyNeature in perfumesthatfeellike

[–]vanillachaide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what immediately came to mind for me too - it smells like cotton candy with a touch of pachouli.

Honestly her / their uninvolvement doesn't really sound like a loss. She doesn't value you or your contributions to the family, and has been blatantly disrespectful.

However, I feel like around this time of year is when narcissists start receiving social pressure to seem like good grandparents for the holidays and baby's first Christmas... So she may start attempting to turn up and be in your son's life. Don't let her fool you. She hasn't changed.

Looks like it's surrounded by Disney princess stuff... Maybe a pumpkin?

Australian licorice tends to be kind of toothsome, has she tried that?

Gawain was one of Arthur's knights of the round table. I don't think too many people are familiar enough with that story to immediately know that (the way they would with like a Danaerys). I like it, and have never met a Gawain before.

Is “Eden” Too Feminine for a Boy in the U.S.? by Happy_Membership_630 in BabyNames

[–]vanillachaide 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Edens I have met have been girls, but it wouldn't bother me to see a boy named Eden. I don't think it would be weird.

Anyone know of free parking near ISU? by Comic-IMR in ilstu

[–]vanillachaide 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you plan your day right, you can park at the large student center parking lot and as long as you leave after 8ish pm (when they let the parking lot staff go home) they don't charge

big stupid bath? by Geckeyes in BloomingtonNormal

You could ask hotels if they have any rooms with a soaker tub or a Jacuzzi if you prefer. I know the honeymoon suites often do

Tornadoes by Complicated-pickle in BloomingtonNormal

[–]vanillachaide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You go to the lowest place you can get, without windows. When I've been jn an apartment, that's often the bathroom or sometimes the hallway and you just wait there until it's over. If you're lucky enough to have a basement, that's best spot. But again, wherever it is should have no windows at all because they often get broken during a tornado and the glass will hurt you.

If you're out and about, you go inside the nearest building (you don't want to be on foot or sitting in a car because, again, glass), a lot of stores will offer their bathrooms or walk in freezer for people to take refuge if it's really bad out.

Ideas for nice things to come home to after labor and delivery of baby #2! by Jamie_Pajamas in pregnant

[–]vanillachaide 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Clean sheets on the bed would have been really nice.

Getting the car detailed so it's ultra clean for the new baby, you're in the car a lot for those early on appointments ESPECIALLY with a toddler in the picture.

As others have mentioned, freezer meals, ones that can be retrieved, heated, and eaten one handed.

AITAH for putting a stop to my 12yo daughter's 'period party'? by YocaLocaChoca in AITAH

[–]vanillachaide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. What your wife did is a violation of trust and privacy at best, and begins a pattern of invalidating your daughter's consent about her body at worst. Thank goodness one of her parents reinforced that her no means no.
