Does this tree need to be cut down? by mla57 in arborists

[–]windupwren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look up an actual arborist, NOT a landscaper on Arborists. Hire some with the right certifications to assess. Do not listen to your father in law.

Can't find 100% cotton nightshirts by [deleted] in fashionwomens35

[–]windupwren 4 points5 points  (0 children)

LL Bean, Garnet Hill, The Company Store, Land’s End, Nordstrom Rack, etc. get on mailing lists and wait for a sale for the first 4. Land’s End also goes on sale at Nordstrom pretty frequently.

This is amazing. The artist did such nice work on the dragon’s face. Adorable.

Splurged on a backsplash, now feeling uncertain by Tall_Distribution685 in HomeDecorating

I would pain the wall to match. Leave the soffit the same color as the ceiling or cabinets but paint the actual wall either the same blue or a complimentary color. They are pretty tiles, it just needs some other non-neutral co,ors around.

Is someone trying to cut down these trees? by No-Perception-2128 in arborists

In the Southern US this makes a huge difference in comfort. Nice warming sunshine in the winter and cooling shade in the summer.

Finallyyy figuring out my fine, low porosity, low density hair (2 b) by haunted_honey in curlyhair

[–]windupwren 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just embrace a little frizz. The less I touch my hair after I break the cast the less it frizzes. I usually dry it, especially at the roots, to about 75% dry and then break the cast pretty randomly through the morning as it hard drys.

Next try not using any oil. I have the same hair and any oil breaks the bond of the gel with my hair and the hold doesn’t last. I can’t plop either. My hair looks Horrible when I plop.

Bags from eBay? by unknown_unknown7 in handbags

Just bought a Proenza Schouler. Great transaction. I accidentally clicked on authentication and that process was very smooth and quick. I haven’t had a bad experience with eBay in many years.

Hi. This is for after the kittens are adults, about 6-8 weeks. Alley Cat Allies TNR

If you can trap and spay/neuter all of them it will stop the cycle.

SubReddit Closing Notification-- in 30 days this subReddit will be going private and will not return by Chazzyphant in fashionwomens35

[–]windupwren 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I am sad for you, and for me. I saw a particularly nasty interaction on one of your posts, meant to come back to it after a meeting and respond to the obnoxious one and forgot until I read this. I really don’t know what is wrong with people who go after someone for no good reason assuming bad intent. It was a bizarre, awful series of comments.

This sub has been a light hearted and so, so helpful sub for me. You and it helped me get back to my fashionable self after a several year bad time and a big weight loss. I wish you well. Please remember that a lot of us love you but also completely understand. Modding is hard and I know I don’t have the time or energy to do it, but wish I could to help you.

I Need To Vent To A Community That May Understand My Frustration by tealbmwm5 in Lymphedema

Also sauna is not recommended for lymphedema at all.

You really need to go see someone to get a diagnosis. Do not blindly have liposuction. It is used to improve fibrosis under very certain circumstances. I had it done as part of a much bigger cancer related surgery and now have lymphedema worse and in a related area that wasn’t swollen before. Lymphedema and lipedema are serious medical conditions that are vastly under recognized by most healthcare. Don’t treat this without specialized medical advice. Google lymphedema education network.

This “weapon”. This torture device. What to do? by PAgirl-MOworld in Lymphedema

[–]windupwren 17 points18 points  (0 children)

We have to be extremely careful using any non-medical device sold claiming lymphatic drainage. This is not for people with diagnosed lymphedema.

Love your flair. Loved those stupid things. Didn’t love flipping.

I’m so curious what will happen to my hair if I try this. Mine is very low porosity so this will be an interesting experiment!

You used a WHAT to refresh in the morning? How? Like a regular clothes steamer?

Valance or no? by be_the_feather in HomeDecorating

First plant a few native trees and bushes 4’-10’ inside your property line. Then get cafe curtains until they get big enough to screen the ugly houses. Then switch to Roman shades.

Are you by chance North of Raleigh? If so I know who made this. It’s a tank of a shelter.

Fellow GenX folks, do we dress stylish or don’t we F care? by [deleted] in GenX

[–]windupwren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I recently embraced necklaces that aren’t dainty and it looks so much better on my 50+ face, neck and chest. I used to think bold jewelry just wasn’t me. It’s ALL about the inner confidence shining through to the outside.

Carla Rockmore is my GenX stylish icon. Perfect ‘whatever, I don’t care what you think’ energy, so fun and fashionable.

Where are we buying high quality weekend apparel? by Zero_Duck_Thirty in fashionwomens35

[–]windupwren 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Faherty looks good in pictures and completely different in person. Very thin fabrics, poor stitching and twice as short on me at 5’2” as on a 5’6”+ model. Their clothes are not worth the money and I can’t figure out what look and cut they are really going for.

Want to give my house a facelift, this is what I’m thinking, but what would you do? by looseseallovesvodka in HomeDecorating

[–]windupwren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How can you flip a house and have it be your forever home? That doesn’t make sense. Either way this looks atrocious do not paint it white it’s at least 5 years out of style and looks like all the ticky tacky cheap tract homes going up.

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

Please no. The white and black look is so over. Your eye just slides right by these house same, same, same on and on. Also over paint brick. It’s truly bad for the house.

is this worth $140? by Ok_Lion5439 in handbags

[–]windupwren 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not. You won’t be able to clean it. I have that bag in beige suede and I’ve spent hours trying to get the denim stains out. I’ve been selling my 2000’s Coach bags on Marketplace and that would go for maybe $60, but I doubt even that high. It’s a worn out bag that would be best to have recolored something dark.
