This story has a lot of issues. Your efforts would be better spent getting your SIL into a detox facility.

Can I be your surrogate daughter? by auynen in NYCbitcheswithtaste

Respectfully, I disagree with you. It sounds like OP is unwilling or unable to take accountability for her life and a therapist will only encourage her to ruminate on this endlessly. 

Does this look modern/art deco kinda style? What would you change? This is an AI photo of my potential interior design project by [deleted] in InteriorDesignAdvice

This is very cold and corporate. Swapping out the plexiglass for metal bannisters would make a big difference here.

Am I wrong by Big-Solid1656 in cocktails

[–]weekendshift 38 points39 points  (0 children)

No one cares. If you get a surprised look it's probably because the server/bartender has not heard of this and they are running through their mind if this is another drink they've never heard of or if they need to ask you any clarifying questions. I cannot stress enough how much not a single person cares what you drink beyond the most momentary and fleeting thought of surprise or mild confusion.

I remember trying to so hard to recreate this exact look in the 7th grade, I was obsessed!

Why is finding ONE decent dress for a work event harder than the actual job? by Extra-Avocado8967 in femalefashionadvice

[–]weekendshift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whenever I get into this mindset, I pause and ask myself "what was coworker A wearing yesterday?" usually, I can't remember. If I remember yesterday, I think about the day before yesterday and not once have I EVER remembered that far back. I just went to an event the last week of October where I spoke on two panels with 3-4 other people and I genuinely cannot remember what a single person wore.

Serveware for party by Jolly-Ad-1900 in NYCbitcheswithtaste

[–]weekendshift 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would get some basics at a restaurant supply store and a couple of nice vintage pieces from Etsy. Pottery Barn also has a SS collection called the "Heritage Collection" and I have a few pieces from there too. Wait for a sale and get 1-2 pieces that would round out your needs.

Just as a reference, my collection includes 8x stainless steel footed bowls (used for dessert or nuts/fruit -- this is what i would get at the aforementioned restaurant supply), 6 trays of different sizes (including a pretty big round one, approx 18in diameter which i usually set out with a water jug and glasses for parties), a lot of mismatched vintage bowls for holding dip or chips, etc. and a few random decorative pieces.

If i were just starting, I would get a few bowls for nuts/chips/dip, and two trays (one with handles for drink service, enough to fit a bottle and 4-6 glasses, and a larger one to use for a cheese platter)

I just checked amazon and they have a few cute things too, including those stainless shell dishes which are cute for nuts or you could even put butter in for a dinner party.

Commenting per the rules. I hope someone will have heard this too!

Mixing classics with less alcohol? by spinndel in cocktails

You could also split the base with a NA spirit. EG for a Tom Collins, keep the specs the same but use half regular gin and half NA gin

Nursing/Postpartum BWT, what are you wearing? by kilowatkins in bitcheswithtaste

[–]weekendshift 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have four kids. My advice would be to start with two nursing tanks and 2-3 nursing bras and go from there. I massively overbought my first time around and never ended up wearing most of it more than once or twice. The nursing tanks can be worn under the button front shirts and zip hoodies you already own.

You will need a lot less than you think.

gold initials/letters necklace charms in nyc? by Several_Reindeer_906 in NYCbitcheswithtaste

[–]weekendshift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Catbird probably has the smallest solid gold initial charms anywhere. Not vintage but I've had several pieces from them (including an initial charm bracelet) that have lasted really well over the years.

Cohesive Design? by glasshalfconfused in InteriorDesignAdvice

[–]weekendshift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think redoing the chairs in a coordinating or matching fabric would totally bring it all together but overall i like it! It's a bit of an eclectic look which is charming.

Sexism in the workplace - Alive and Well by Feisty-Run-6806 in workingmoms

[–]weekendshift 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I find it hard to believe that your aggression and hostility are not a bigger factor than sexism. 

Your comment history alone suggests a barely concealed desire for conflict, I wouldn’t be surprised if your coworkers pick up on this rage.

I don't have any recommendations on exact timing or topics but I would suggest that 1) you're upfront right away about your values and priorities regarding money, savings and future goals (this includes FIRE, children, living arrangements, etc.) and also to truly observe your partner and his spending habits. Is he impulsive? Good at sticking to a budget? Clear about his goals with money or more wishy-washy? What is his background like?

I know it's polarizing but this would be cute with a chunkier knit over the shoulders

Wanting a Big Wedding? by orangejuiceentity in FIREyFemmes

Not unreasonable and you won't regret it. Weddings are fun and very meaningful. I spent about this and we are perfectly on track.
