You think nuns had no life before taking vows? Same goes for priests. I would bet good money that at least one of those nuns wore a dress similar to the red one at some point in their life. And yes, they’re smiling at each other because not everyone is a judgy a*****e, and can accept people as they are, as long as they’re not hurting anyone.

Relatability is truly a powerful thing. Influencers make mega-successful careers mainly because they present their authentic and relatable selves online. And the feeling of genuineness has even become a marketing strategy that many brands use to attract customers looking for human connection in businesses.
Nowadays, consumers aren’t just looking to buy products or services, they want to support brands that share their values, understand their needs, and communicate in a human way.

But then you get the whole morning to enjoy laying around and doing nothing!! You can go to breakfast and then come back and take a nap. Or you can go for a run and then come back and shower and take a nap. Or you can play on your phone or read until you're tired again and take a nap... (edit for spelling)

People are such presumptuous arses sometimes. The older picture is on the right. The old guy has prepared the soil and has just begun planting out.

Remember too, that he’s older now, and has to do everything himself, as opposed to being a few years younger and having someone to share chores with. Keeping up a garden like they had is a lot of work, and the older you get, the less energy you have. Unless there are family and friends willing to help, it probably now takes a lot out of him to just do the bare minimum every day. And I haven’t even mentioned that his greatest incentive to make life as beautiful as possible passed away, so his heart just isn’t in it anymore because she’s not here to share it with. You never think of these things when you’re young, which is probably for the best, because they can be depressing, but they do bear thinking about as you get older, so you can put plans in place for the many different possible outcomes of your life.

It's really annoying to get the bouquet to sit nicely in the vase due to the weight distribution of the individual flower.
Nicole Weymann 1 year ago
Glue a grid of sellotape across the mouth of the vase. Flowers go in the middle hole. Or depending on the form and material of the vase put some sand/marbles in it to make the flowers stand erect. Inserting a whole bouquet: sellotape the stems together or use elastic band.

Last night, at our daughter's request, my husband cut her, over half-way down her back, hair. We've been clearing his parents condo (they moved into assisted living) and daughter's hair got taped into one too many boxes (and she didn't have enough hair-bands with her to tie it up, her hair was too heavy). It's a bit shorter than she planned on (she now has a bob, right at her ears), he kept having to even it out (luckily she's laughing about it, as are we).

In her own practice, she encourages companies to empathize with their audience. “The way I encourage my clients to approach brand strategy is very similar to the advice I dole out as a mother to my children: lead with empathy, listen to what others are saying, and be authentic in all of your interactions with other people. All of these pieces of advice apply to building a strong brand and, when well executed, go a long way in making your brand more relatable to target audiences.”

A better option would be "It's okay, sweetheart, you can do this! I'll help you" then help by giving hints until she remembers how to do it. Or, tell her you'll write a note to her teacher and ask for her to stay after to get more help since she needs it. (I'm a teacher, I couldn't help saying this!) :)

I expected college and university to be a great time. No annoying teens, everyone wants to learn, no idiots who make the teacher mad. One problem: the teachers. Big spoiled babies who want to ruin everything bc they don't get enough attention or they're envious. Now I can't go back bc gen z students are the worst. We at least knew who a woman is.
But being authentic and relatable is not an easy thing to get right - you can’t really force it. Young says that one way to ensure their communication with customers is authentic and not staged is to once again lead with empathy, listen carefully to customers, and be genuinely yourself.

I think there’s ways of styling long hair so it looks like short hair…I haven’t looked into it much though.
“Of course, for both humans and brands that can be easier said than done, which is why businesses need to work on a written brand strategy that helps them move more confidently through the world. Consumers are really savvy, and can smell a faker from a mile away, so you have to be really careful about sticking to your brand strategy because it allows brands to act more authentically confident when it comes to marketing their business,” she explains.

“It also means they will be consistent in their messaging, which also lends itself to relatability,” Young adds. “If you're constantly sending mixed messages or flip-flopping on your messaging, you're going to confuse your audience, and they'll abandon you for a competitor who has figured out how to execute their brand strategy more wisely.”

Sorry, but “I was just joking around” is the excuse made by bullies and abusers. No, you weren’t joking, you meant it. You’re just trying to backstroke because you’ve been called out on it. Someone genuinely joking would 1) make a joke that’s actually funny and not hurtful—-laugh with me and not at me, and 2) say it in a joking manner, like with a funny face or voice, making it obvious it’s a joke. Also 3) apologize profusely—-and you better f*****g well be sincere!—-if it doesn’t go over as funny, ffs!

The gaslighting phrases,we all have heard: I'm just joking, you're too sensitive, I'm just being honest, that's who I am, have you no sense of humour? The husband of my boss told me recently to do sth "or I will kill you". He was making a stupid joke, not actually threatening me, but it was very unpleasant.
