# I got inspired by a post in here by someone wishing they could find more romantic and velvet stuff and I talked about the DIY I used to do. I just made a tutorial mockup in photoshop for these arm warmers I used to make, the arm warmers pic is from the early 2000's so it's low res, but it gets the point across. This shirt was similar to many I'd make, all the fabric for the arm warmers and the shirts were bought at thrift stores. I'd find a basic velvet top or tank top, sew d-ring tape up the two sides in front (d-rings pointing inward), and then lace it like a corset with ribbon. This shirt pic is the only one I have from back then but I made tons of them (I sold a lot...

The Goddess I think she might be in love with me. Over the past few months she's brought me many gifts: a Vietnam War era bayonet, a ball peen hammer, a chef's knife, a pair of pants that are eight inches too long, a book of artwork containing pictures by Klimt, Cezanne, Picasso, Chagall, a book she stole from a thrift store. In exchange I give her lentils and rice, grilled cheese, chicken soup and mashed potatoes. Following the exchange of gifts, we talk. By that I mean, she talks while I listen. It is like listening to the wind at midnight. You don't make sense of it. It just is. Sometimes she tells me she thinks I'm her father. Sometimes she asks if she'...

I’ve never crocheted anything in my life but got a gorgeous crochet beaded dress from a thrift store for $2.50. It’s unravelling on the side of the dress - I’ve tried to capture this in the image but the yarn has broken where a bead should be and is coming apart. I’ve tried using some thread (black and lighter purple colour) to catch the loops/unravelling bits to prevent it from coming undone further. I NEED to know how to fix this beautiful dress, so any advice or even a starting point (like what you would call the pattern/stitch) is much appreciated!

(taps microphone) is this thing on?! :) A random post but wanted to share -- saw this contest in an email digest today: [The UPS Store® Small Biz Challenge](https://www.inc.com/theupsstore/small-biz-challenge) \-- you submit a 100-word or less essay about what makes your business unstoppable, with a bonus for a video entry. [Details about last year and what was involved in the competition here](https://www.theupsstore.com/about/pressroom/the-ups-store-congratulates-2025-small-biz-challenge-winner-sydney-attis-owner-of-just-call-me-shirley) \-- only 6700 people entered last year. Given how savvy folks were with the Instagram posts about CFF, I feel like this would be an easy one-click...

I’ve tried on about 40 dresses at 6-7 stores. I felt like it was so hard to pick with so many opinions! I went for the first time by myself not fully expecting to pick one but I did and now I’m feeling some \~dress regret\~. Ive been looking for something clean classic w a princess/ballgown, basque waist. I’m 5’10 w a longer torso and it’s been challenging to find something that looks good everywhere. I have a flat chest but also super broad and I’m worried this makes me look very long on top. I do think the straps compared to a strapless helps to narrow me on top. Does this look bad? Did I make the wrong choice?

# If you're using CO₂ to make sparkling water at home, it's important to handle your CO₂ cylinders safely and make sure they last as long as possible. Here are some simple tips to help you get the most out of your CO₂ tank and keep everything running smoothly. **1. Store Your CO₂ Tank Properly** * **Cool, dry place**: Keep your CO₂ cylinder in a spot that’s cool and dry, away from heat. High temperatures can cause the pressure in the tank to rise, making it less effective and potentially dangerous. * **Keep it upright**: Always store your CO₂ tank vertically. This ensures the gas is dispensed evenly and safely when you need it. * **Out of direct sunlight**: Avoid le...

# Context: *Feel free to skip if you just want the comparisons that I've listed!* For anyone coming from Stardew Valley, you might have made some assumptions about the gameplay for this type of farming sim, so here are some differences I noticed! I can't recommend this game enough, and really wanted to talk about all the incredible things the team made easier for us/things they thought of to make sure our experience is immersive and seamless! Generally (although I can't think of any example otherwise), Fields of Mistria is *far* less punishing than SV. These are just my observations. This is also pre - The Mines update! I've noticed that a lot of people have compa...

I already own the first dress pictured, but I think it’s probably not formal enough for black tie optional? I’m thinking of getting the second black dress just to be safe. The ceremony will be held at a church and the reception will be at a nice hotel. There’s also a cocktail reception the day before the wedding where cocktail attire is requested. Maybe I could wear the first dress for that? I also have a shorter dress that comes to my knees which is a little less formal.

Am I overreacting about my husband’s employee and the way he’s handling his new business boundaries? My husband (48M) and I (late-40s F) have been together nearly 20 years and married for 13. We have never had many trust issues regarding coworkers, employees, employers, family or friends so this situation plays in my mind more often than I am afraid to admit. Here goes… About six months ago, my husband opened a cash-for-gold jewelry store with his brothers. One brother is on the West Coast while my husband runs the East Coast location. This decision happened with very little discussion with me over the last summer. He left for a week of training during our wedding anniversary and use...

(I’m leaving all the big text to be read from the images and will only include the name, Pokédex entry, signature move, signature ability, and stats) ;) Monarchion Flaming Star Pokémon Pokédex entry: While sharing physical attributes with volcarona, it is far less angelic. Monarchion is quick to rage, using its psychic powers to suffocate its opponents by depleting the oxygen around its target. This is also how it hunts, suffocating its prey slowly, even if it takes days to happen. Human and Pokémon alike have fallen prey to this Pokémon’s power. Sig. Ability: Suffocating bubble: sets up harsh sun and psychic terrain. Sig. Move: Solar Drift: Power: 60 Special A dual bug/p...

I live in Austin, TX and I resonate so deeply with everyone’s comments about the employee’s bad attitudes in store. The ladies at my store will just straight up stare at you without answering a question then make it seem like the question is just ruining their day. One time, I tried on a gorgeous jumpsuit and needed one of them to help zip me up, and they failed to mention the clasp was broken and let me walk out after buying it. I work down the road and always dress nice, but it does seem like everyone else in there has the same experience. My husband won’t even come inside anymore due to their rudeness with me. To my surprise, I visited a store in the biggest, nicest mall in Indi...

You haven’t cared. You perform concern. What you offer looks like love, but it’s only an illusion dressed in words. I hear plenty. I see nothing. Romance is desirable. Broken trust is not. I want safety— not games, not guesses, not promises that evaporate on contact. Safety lives where actions stand beside words without being asked. I want to believe you. I can’t. The life you paint is beautiful— every detail precise, every future convincing. But love that exists only in language is still an illusion. I want to be loved. But at what cost to my livelihood? At what cost to my heart? Do I want romance? Yes. Do I want to be held? Yes. Do I want to dismantle my self-love by ext...

This is gonna be long... trust me the DOC is way longer but also insanely fascinating ( particularly starting at para 18 ) but honestly the earlier part is good to help understand. IM going to try to shorten AS MUCH AS I CAN but there is alot and it needs to be read to understood...at least for me This is the intro "I had to be able to construct a scientifically valid and reasonably lucid model of how consciousness functions under the influence of the brain hemisphere synchronization technique employed by Gateway. Once this was done, the next step involved recourse to theoretical physics in order to explain the character of the time-space dimension and the means by which expanded human ...

Found some accessories online, but not sure which would suit the dress the most. For context, this will be a winter elopement on a snowy mountain top. My hair will be in a messy updo, and will be using a pearl veil. Shawl: 1, 2, 3 Im not sure if i want something more simple like shawl 1, or if shawl 3 is too bulky looking. Lace choker: 1, 2, 3 Thought this might look cute, but worried it doesnt fit the style, or if there are too many pearls. If not a choker, most likely will buy the necklace on picture 6. Earrings: 1, 2 Not sure if the dangling pearls is too much, and should go with something with less pearls and length. Im open to any advice or suggestions for my acessories, as at the...

This is a bit of a long one but hey so was going through it lol I am a trans woman who have been friends with this trans man, DD, for over two years now. We first met while he was in a situationship with my roommate in the place I moved after I was disowned. We immediately hit it off as amazing friends, with him helping me transition and me helping him deal with his whole relationship guff. We stayed up until 4 am together, we always had weekend plans, and texted daily. There was just a pull between us. Ultimately I ended up having feelings for him at the time that I did tell him about, but despite him not reciprocating it didn't seem to hinder anything. That was until he and my ro...

Katie, my girlfriend, asked me to write this story of our relationship. She wanted me to call it *The Gospel of Scott*. Even though I delivered her message like she asked, and even though I suffered so terribly for doing it, I still don't feel like my story should be elevated to the level of a religious text. So I'm just calling it what it is: my girlfriend is literally God.  I met her at The Anchor. I was working my way through the crowd to get to the bar when I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned around to see who it was. I wish I could say I had an "I see the light" style religious experience when I saw her. But truthfully, my first thoughts were 90% lust and 10% t...

this started awhile ago when he asked me to call him pretty, which i didnt have a problem with obviously. a week or so later he came to me late at night saying he had always wished to be a girl since he was a kid, and wanted to be pretty. honestly, it explained a lot of things he felt, he always wanted to dress me up and customize me, he was closer with girls (not in a weird way), and was kinda feminine in general. to be frank, i was not surprised. i had a slight feeling already, but i didnt assume anything about him. i asked him other questions just to see exactly what he wanted me to do. basically, he still wants to be 100% a guy but i appreciate him in a pretty way, not handsome. that’s...

I’ve been reading the stories today, and just wanted to share…I honestly didn’t feel one way or another about the change. Like another poster, I’m not high status, but fly SW several times a year for personal travel and other airlines for business travel. Open seating was nice, but I also like being able to pick my seat (though we tend to not care so much, so we end up sitting mid plane and further back typically). Yes, boarding at the gate took more time and was a bit of a cluster, but the process is new. There were noticeably less pre-boarders than we usually see. Once on board, everything was great. We were mid-plane and didn’t have any issues with overhead space; didn’t...
