If you click on the [more] link under the smilies, there is a whole screen of additional ones you can chose from. At the bottom of that screen, there is a section called "generic smilies".

To keep the answer simple, pretty much anything goes with blue! I used turquoise, fuschia and orange. And Jacqueline used peacock feathers, so if you do a search, you can see pics that used those colors. Good luck.

Closing this thread since it has been discussed at length... ETA: thanks for doing the research Erika, I merged a bunch of those threads...

I closed this thread b/c there are so many threads that discuss this subject already. The "post count" related to the "download"s allowed is directly associated with the fact that we encourage participation on the forum, so one you have reached 150 post you can download the attachments. This helps us build a community and not allow people to join our forum an d just steal what we have to offer. I'm not implying that you are here to steal from us, just that we have had this happen in the past.

(Let me preface this by saying, I did NOT read all 300 posts in this thread before posting, but I'll be catching up later. I just didn't want to forget all the things I wanted to say... I bought the series online for about $20 fr books 1-8, then got book 9 for my birthday a few weeks ago.) I'm watching my first True Blood tonight and it's SO hard NOT to compare to the books! I read all 9 books in about a week a month or so ago, so was really excited for the series. - My first thoughts are that Tara was not a part of the series at all in the beginning (was she?!) - Sookie, they pronounce Sukie, which is just weird to me (Like I always say it like "sue-key", they say it like "suk-ey") - Bill is crazy old, not at all what I pictured! (Just like I think Rob Pattinson does NO JUSTICE to the Edward that I built in my head) - I actually like Ana Paquin much more IN this role then I imagined her, she kinds fits Sookies, except she isn't "round" as Sookie is so often referred to. Ana is downright skinny! - It's hard to mesh the "book" world with the "movie" world, cuz so many of the characters aren't as good as or attractive as I imagined them. I guess that's the problem with converting a book to a movie. (Twilight anyone? Those books were awesome, movie #1 SUCKED!) - Jason - how in the world is he supposed to be that attractive? I know in the later books, they blame it in the fairy blood, but get real, h's not even on the upper side of cute! He's just cute! Not what I picture as a "lady killer", more like a twirp. - I actually really like Gram's as gram. It's a good fit there. - I only read up to comments 1-40 and feel the same as Rachel. I read them all SO quick that I feel like i got lost trying to keep all the characters straight. I'm set to re-read them, but once people found out I go the series, I had a list of peeps that were "next". So I can probably restart in a month or so. - She read Sam's mind in this episode with no problem at all, there was no "otherness" about him.

Yeah, I don't know why. On my feet, I feel like it's such a clean look and matches everything. But on my hands I feel like it's kinda plain. I don't know why, cuz I always like it on other people, but it's so blah on me. Quote: Originally Posted by nsbride2010 I have really soft and brittle nails, but I am hoping to grow them out!! The mani closer to the date sounds better to me, it will be fresher! Carly - really? Only on your feet not your hands? I have never had one on my toes, it looks pretty nice though! Maybe that will be my next endeavor!

My co-worker just told me about this too! (She knows I live on here!) But I'm really glad to see that no one was injured, even still I hope none of our brides were on the flight!

I bought a dress online that I LOVED, I even loved the way it looked when I looked in the mirror. But in pictures, I just looked lumpy. I was even too embarrassed of them to show them on here and that's saying alot! I was able to return that dress with no fees and eventually went back to a couture dress that I had loved from day 1. If it doesnt' look good in photos, no matter how you FEEL in it, you will not be happy. Photos are the only thing you have once the wedding is over! I went dress shopping with a friend who is also a plus-size and she had the best luck in David's Bridal. Her intentions were to go there to try everything on and get an idea of what looked good on her and then she can purchase the dress anywhere, but she ended up loving one there on our first trip. My only advice would be to try any and every dress on. (As long as it's not too much $ cuz you don't want to fall in love with one you can't afford!) Sometimes what we love and what looks good on us are completely different, so you might surprise yourself. I've seen it happen so many times on here. Good luck with the shopping!

Oh cool, thanks! Proportions would be great!

I did a bright orange on my toes and hands b/c I can't have too much color. I love the look of a French, but only on my feet not on my hands.

That's great news! I'm glad she was able to get it together and act like a grown-up, if not the mother-of-the-bride. Congrats!!

I am merging this with the "testing" thread, no need for separate ones....

That link that you provided is a broken link. If we are to correct the broken links, we need the thread link that CONTAINS the broken links.

Oh no! She was a bit wacky, but I always liked her too for some reason. I think for 8 mile, I love that movie. What a shame.

Morgan, I think you should come decorate my house. Cuz we apparently have lots of the same taste and we are obsessed with orange and blue combo. Well, I don't know if you can label yours an obsession, but I def can. I'm really bad at visualizing (hence the fact we haven't done much!), so I don't really have a decisive opinion on the tray ceilings. BUT I can say that when I watch the home shows and they paint the ceilings, I always love them. So I like the idea of painting it, I just can't say what I would do!

So I'm still obsessing. I bought this one cuz it was on crazy sale: I showed it to Matt before I bought it, but after he was like, "ummm, I think it's too much for me. It's really girly." He said he didn't care that much and if it's what I wanted, I could keep it, but now I think I should try harder to get soemthing that he likes as well. Oh and I JUST got it in the mail yesterday, but haven't opened it yet b/c we STILL haven't painted yet and I don't want to put the new stuff on the bed until painting is done! Now I found this one that I kinda like as well. I really like the ethnic look of it, but am thinking it's probably not the right color orange. What do you all think? It's super cheap, so I'm thinking about buying it as a backup.

The first post in this thread gives the link to instructions, but you can also click on the link "Click here for helpful hints" and it will lead you to a link about photos. (Easiest way is to create a Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket account and upload your photos there, then paste the full hfcaeoheuirf code here.)

I think you should leave it, it's beautiful! (Plus, personally, I'm not a fan of corset backs)

I'm going to work on cleaning up this thread today. Getting rid of the older chit chat and adding pictures where people only posted links. It would really be great if you all could post pics instead of links in the future though! ETA: WEIRD! The last time I cleaned up this thread was EXACTLY a year ago!

I think Paula was holding out hope that AI would bring her back. Perhaps she'll be around next season since that didn't happen?

They do show up, good job!

Check out this thread for help posting photos - http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo...ok-here-16832/ and this thread for general help with the forum - http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo...k-forum-32313/ You most likely won't get much interest without pictures, so that would be great if you can upload some. Once you do, I can move them to your original post for ease of viewing.

mymy - I am sorry for the loss of your grandmother and I hope your wedding went well. However, you disappeared for weeks (a month?) after accepting money for items that you never sent, you honestly can't be mad that people were hoping you weren't a fraud. There really was no need to come back and write such nastiness and name-calling in your response. I think it's super nice of you to send the items for free to try to clear up this debacle, but I'd just like to point out that the name-calling and such cannot be tolerated. I hope you can calm down and become an active member of the forum.

I am going to move this to the proper subforum...

Ok, I am super happy with the way it turned out. They left pretty much in the order that I wanted themt oo! That never happens, usually I am way off base, but whatevs.
