Honestly, sometimes I'll pick and buy fabrics out before even drafting the dress, that way when I go and fully pick the dress out I can put the swatches I Want in the sketchbook (finding out you can place those Anywhere on the page was a great discovery for me) find a pattern that I like and then I'll kinda color match?? But what I'll do is put the swatches so they touch the area I want the fabric to be at so I have a better understanding of what's going where on the dress. Then I cut the pattern and do the mannequin part. Other times I just go in with nothing but the pattern and no real plan for fabric and go off vibes lol.

Don’t toss the packages, refuse delivery, tossing them means you’re still accepting them and in her mind that could mean you can still be manipulated into getting back into contact with her. Go to your local post office or talk to your mail carrier and have them make a note that anything with her name or address should not be delivered and instead returned to sender. UPS and fedex both have things on their sites that allow you to know if you’re getting something delivered, if you’re lucky and know your delivery drivers you can ask them to not deliver anything from her as well, if not take them to the nearest store and tell them to return to sender, or you can divert the package back to her house using their sites. Heck, a simple note saying you refuse all deliveries from ‘name & address’ left on your door or wherever your packages are delivered can work too. My point is, don’t let her even Start to think you’re accepting anything from her. Block her email too, it’s just another way she can keep believing she can get you back.

Option one leads to option two and option two leads to option one.

My petty ass would have started driving, gotten to about 15mph and Slammed on the breaks, safe enough speed no one Truly gets hurt but they’re gonna learn to put that seatbelt on in my car Real quick or they ain’t gonna be in my car. And if they wanna get mad about it claim an animal of some kind ran out in front of you then pause and turn to look back at then and say “wait, why don’t you have your seatbelts on? Don’t you know how dangerous that is?? If I’d been going faster that could have killed you!!!” Put as much drama into it as you want. Turn their decision not to wear seatbelts into a personal attack on you, how if they got hurt while you were driving that would be on your conscious forever, how your insurance could go up, you could get a ticket. It Quickly turns into them affecting everyone else and it’s no longer a decision that’s Only affecting them. Manipulative AF?? Yes, yes it is. But sometimes you’ve gotta be manipulative to get through to some people, especially people who feel like Anything that questions them and their choices is a direct attack on themselves and needs to be immediately defended against. Not to mention, as an Added bit of pettiness sprinkled in, there is a High chance of men getting wracked in the balls by their own pants and underwear due to the aggressive lurching that happens, that Would be stopped by having a seatbelt on since the lap part of it stops your hips moving as much lol.

It Does say cannabis right? I’m not misreading the word cannibal cause I’m still tired?? As long as they aren’t being an absolute moron or abusive while high, or blowing all their money on it every time they get the chance, or forcing it on others who aren’t interested then it’s not a big deal.

^{Chose: Yes}

Only handheld I’ve had the screen scratched up on wasn’t even me doing it. Let a younger kid who was put next to me use it (cause put the unaccompanied minor who’s under ten with the only other person close to their age on the plane….. the teenager traveling alone that makes sense right??) He was an absolute wreck and kinda a menace if I’m being honest and I could physically SEE the flight attendants hitting the end of their rope so I let the kid watch me play on my ds for a while, which quieted him down, until I got tired and wanted to take a nap. Kid about blew a gasket when I told him that and there was a tantrum of epic proportions brewing and after about the 10th whiny please asking if he could use it while I take a nap ‘since you aren’t using it anyways!’ I finally gave in and told him to be careful. Yeah…. Come to find out he’d lost my styler and instead of telling me he asked one of the attendants for something and they gave him a PEN, luckily didn’t work anymore, he didn’t use the nib of the pen but it did More than enough damage, not a fun thing to wake up to, especially since I was on the way to my grandmothers and she lived in the middle of nowhere to the point you took a left out of town towards her house and you didn’t even get radio anymore, you literally fell off the face of the earth, Meaning there was no way for me to even Think of getting it fixed before I went home. The apologies and thank yous from the flight attendants weren’t Nearly enough let me tell you, Especially since none of them would tell me who gave the kid the pen meaning I couldn’t get them to pay to fix it.

My paranoid self used to first write everything down, edit it myself, copy and paste it to grammarly, then copy/paste everything from grammarly onto the original word doc completely replacing the original, read through it Again, then I’d pull up the free spelling/grammar checker website I used and copy/paste it to that, run it through and edit, then I’d Again copy/paste/replace it over the original, before rereading it again. Lol. And if it was for college assignments I’d Also pull up TWO different plagiarism checkers copy/paste into the first one, fix anything that may have popped up, and then copy/paste that version into the second and run it and edit as needed, before Again replacing everything on the original doc. But the plagiarism checkers didn’t come into rotation till I got in trouble twice and realized that my high school didn’t put in any work in having us rewrite stuff in our own words and instead had us basically, if not Exactly, rewriting whatever that was already written originally. Which, while Completely true, probably sounded like the laziest excuse my college professor had ever heard in their career, and was Super confusing and then embarrassing after I came to that realization.

If you have someone who’s willing to do it, and you’re willing to tell, try having them write down points as you verbally tell them your fic, cause speaking and writing are two completely different things for your brain. And that way when you go to write you don’t develop the dreaded brain blankness when staring at an empty word doc cause you’ll have the points your person wrote down not only already on the doc but to work off of too. Plus if you have the person write down little questions or quotes and comments (even if it’s something super simple like ‘they want (specific character) to say (specific line or something like it) during (this scene/conversation)’), they had during you telling them the story your brain will remember that part of the story better, Especially if they asked the same question while you were talking to them.

I like to think it’s the Embarrassment that comes from knowing someone will read your mistakes and possibly judge you for them that fuels the hyper awareness you get after posting lol.

This, 100%. Honestly anything to do with connecting to another persons game should be removed. And if they leave it in it should Only be an optional little fun thing you can do, so in no way is anything locked behind something like that. I grew up having that Exact issue with Pokemon, only to fall in love with the RF series (cause harvest moon was already my main game but add fighting into it? Even Better!) and finding out the only way to marry Mei, Without an action replay that is, was to do that?? I was SO upset, like my mother seriously considered taking the game from me at one point from the rants I would go on about how unfair and ridiculous it was that I would have to rely on another person to get something in my game, and yes pokemon was included in that rant Often as well lol.

If they’re going the way they are currently, rune factory 2 will come out after rune factory 6, then most likely another side game, then rune factory 1 with rune factory 7 being announced around the same time. Rune factory and story of seasons seems to be following the same kind of release timeline when it comes to re-releasing their original games under either ‘special’ or ‘story of seasons’. Although the first game is so old at this point that I’m not sure if they could really rework it And still keep it the same like they have with the other specials, just the QOL upgrades they’d have to do would change the game quite a bit let alone any character updates, it might just be easier for them to somehow combine 1 and frontier together and make a “new” game all together that just plays on the nostalgia factor for the people who played the original game when it first came out, especially for the ones who stoped playing the series when the huge gap between games happened.

At this point there’s More than enough lighting options that it Really doesn’t matter how much light or where the windows are facing anymore. You can almost always find a way to create the kind of lighting effect or angle you want. Plus, if the windows Were a big deal than do that color on the walls the windows are on or the one wall where the windows are and the other wall that gets the least amount of natural sunlight throughout the day, and then use a slightly warmer/darker color on the other walls. During the day time the two lighter walls will typically look darker and the two darker walls look lighter and then it switches come nighttime.

I’ve found having visible tattoos makes people bump up what they assume my age is, though it’s Still in the 18 to 24 (at the absolute highest) range. Imma be 30 in March. The night shift lady at my local gas station IDs me Every Single Time I go in for lottery tickets, and Every Single Time she stares at it like it’s fake and then tells me she thought I was like 16. I’m Constantly being told I’ll miss it when it stops happening, at this point I’m not even sure I believe that, it’d be nice to be able to order a drink at a restaurant and not have the server take my ID to be scanned meanwhile they barely glance at my boyfriends ID. Or not have some older lady follow me into the bathroom to ask if I’m alright while I’m out on a date, since my boyfriend looks so much older than me.

I'd check the local high school before the community college, a lot of them have GED classes after regular school hours, or they have the study guide for the GED test. It'd be a Lot cheaper going through a high school than taking a loan out to go to the community college for it. Some schools offer the classes for free, and Usually the study guide is free too, all you'd have to pay for is the test itself, and the school may be able to at least point you in the direction for a way to discount the test if need be. Plus, almost every town Generally has a high school of some kind, whereas the community college could require some travel depending on where you live and how far from town, or even the nearest city, you live.

As for driving lessons, I think asking around your nearest churches is a good idea, Specifically the youth group leaders(the adult leaders), they deal with teens around driving age the most and might have some ideas and info about getting driving lessons, or they can ask around for you. At minimum there's gotta be at least One retired person who is bored out of their minds at home and would be willing to teach someone how to drive, if not for free then either extremely discounted or even in trade for work around their house or property (the farther out of town or the smaller the community the more likely doing it in exchange of work is.). The high school is a good option to talk to for it too, a lot of driving schools will set up near high schools so they have a constant stream of students coming in year round, and the high school will know about them.

Lol. No, those are found already. The man was a squirrel I swear. We have found SO much of his clothes that he claimed to have thrown away or even donated Years ago hidden in the most random of places I swear. Although I wouldn't be surprised if somewhere in one of the overwhelming number of boxes he kept refusing to go through, even though he constantly said he would, there are some of his grandmothers, or even his father's, underwear. It'll be disgusting to find but over all unsurprising, especially since a good number of boxes were originally from his dad's house and havn't been gone through since before his grandmother died.

Neither my mother nor I could even see the possible makers mark in person. It wasn't till I started taking pictures of it that I could suddenly see that what we thought was maybe a scratch or something was actually an engraving. You can only make it out through a camera still, I'm half tempted to see if cleaning it up a bit will make it clearer. It Looks like a lion rampant on maybe a rope, with Possibly a crown next to it? I've been scouring the Internet in my spare time for matching crests or makers marks. If it's a makers mark it's a bit weird it's on the lid though.

I’m going to believe they’re all looking at some explosion and Jason caused it, which is why he isn’t there, and Damien is the one taking the picture. Jason complained about wanting to see the others faces when it happened one to many times with Damien, while planning, and Damien, secretly, thought it’d be hilarious, not only the explosion but their faces, and decided to film it. That’s just a still from the video as Jason goes through it looking for the best faces for each person.

Learning new things about myself at midnight from a random Reddit comment was Not in my plans for tonight.

This, exactly. Real people sex gives me the ick to an Extreme degree, unless I’m looking at it objectively (“that position Has to hurt.” “Now that’s just not realistic.” Etc.). But fiction? Yes give me ALL the smut. lol.

Yeah, usually it’s tagged PWP and then followed up with whatever form they actually mean. It may just be me but I very rarely see anything tagged as Just PWP anymore. Almost feels like we need to go back to the citrus scale or something like that lol.

I feel like they’re the same people who will buy a book that has warning/tags at the start and then not only complain that the book has that but then read the book and complain that said warning/tags Actually happened in the story. It just makes no sense, you know you don’t like specific thing but instead of doing what anyone else would, avoiding said specific thing, you go ahead and interact with the thing and get mad about it, and then act like it’s anyone else’s fault but your own that you got upset over it.
