Amy Vanderbilt Puns

How can I remove my official test scores because Vanderbilt has them uploaded :(

So I stumbled across the Amy Vanderbilt Success Program for Women booklet series by complete accident and I've only read four of the books so far, but I love how honest, straightforward and direct they are. It's like having an aunt sit down and give you advice from the 1960's on how to be a good wife, mother, housekeeper, community member and friend.

It's like a window into an era when much of Red Pill Women's philosophy was just a part of the culture.

Some things I loved so far:

- In Your Good Health, the author lists out causes for fatigue: physical causes but also emotional ones (undisciplined emotions, avoiding making decisions, shifting blame to others, unhealthy family relationships in which a clannishness can diminish new contacts, etc). The author also describes the importance of having a healthy sex life and says "As the wife you are the barometer of the climate of love in your home... The best of marriages need sexual refreshment. Believe in your husband, admire him, flatter him, dress up for him, love him. He will thrive on it and so will you."

- In How to be a more Interesting Woman, the author talks to the importance of investing in yourself and how such an act will pay dividends. She also explains that "a woman's self respect and there respect she has for others are shown in the appearance of her home as well as in her own appearance." This booklet also contains a fascinating discourse on the Feminine Mystique.

- In Now You're Talking, the author explains the benefits of being a good conversationalist and advises that women "talk to everybody" to get better. She also gives specific advice for improving conversational abilities such as by keeping up with current events, pay attention to details people mention when introducing others to you, and ask questions to get to know people and find common ground upon which to build deeper future conversations.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Do your worst!

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!

Because she wanted to see the task manager.

Heard they've been doing some shady business.

They’re on standbi

BamBOO!

Pilot on me!!

Fill your closet with simple classic pieces:

Don't go out and buy cheesy brand clothes or start saving for a closet full of logos right away. Invest on quality, affordable clothing that will last a long time, look timeless on you, and can be worn in a variety of ways. You don't want to be covered in logos, and it's preferable to be subtle with one designer item rather than exaggerated with an entire designer dress plus a designer purse. You don't want to be held back because you're afraid of messing up your look, and, in my opinion, females who are just starting out don't need whole closets loaded with expensive items they can't afford. A few strong classic items and a good purse are all they require.

Some of those classic essential pieces are:

a lovely classic watch, diamond stud earrings, a high quality black turtleneck, well fitting yoga pants in dark colours for working out, a 36-inch silk scarf, a little black dress, a black mini skirt, skin tone seamless fishnet stockings, a white silk and lace camisole, a fitted and nicely cut white t-shirt, high heels that fit and flatter your feet, a pair of jeans that fits you like a dream, a strand of pearls with matching earrings, and a leather skirt/pants.

Be your own cosmetologist:

Knowing how to do your own sew in or how to refresh your box braids are skills that are completely underrated. Find your favourite style and learn how to do it on yourself and how to make it look like you're just stepping out of the salon.

Making the initial investment to buy nice hair care products and tools will pay off in the long run, learning how to do your hair perfectly and in the style you like will save you so much money and you can do styling on other people and make your money back. Having good shampoos, conditioners, and heat protectants as well as hot tools is an investment that'll go a long way, make your hair healthier, and leave you able to do your own hair in a pinch.

Making the investment for a kit so you can do your own acrylics will save you money and you'll have another new skill. It's not hard to learn how to do simple sets of acrylics and you'll be able to do your own and do your fill-ins in no time at all. Making the investment and then conserving your money so you can save it and spend it on other things is a smart move, finding affordable ways to still have your favourite things is the way to go when you're just beginning to level up and enter society.

I'd also make this point for

Nothing, he was gladiator.

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

What did 0 say to 8 ?

" Nice Belt "

So What did 3 say to 8 ?

" Hey, you two stop making out "

When I got home, they were still there.

I won't be doing that today!

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.

Daughter: I'm hungry

Me: nerves building, smile widening

Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.

She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.

Thank you all for listening.

There hasn't been a post all year!
