Being an SSRI baddie, how do I best prevent sweating through my dress?

OK so like the title says I’m on SSRIs, which are very much known to make you more sensitive to heat/sweat excessively… I unfortunately seem to have obtained these side effects. I apologize in advance for grossness.

Ive tried on my dress three times now - the day I said yes, when it first arrived at the shop, and now my first alterations appointment. All three times I had the dress on for far less than 30 min and I could feel sweat dripping down my legs/on my back and sides. I’m in the depths of a pretty radical weight loss journey and am down officially 100lbs from a year and a half ago. I still have like 20 to go to get to goal weight, but I only say this because I feel like women are always told to lose weight as the first response to any body issue and I’m not looking for that here.

I have found degree 72hr works well for me in terms of any odor, but my clothing still gets sweaty and gross - just not smelly. I do have a pair of “cooling” shorts from thigh society I was planning on wearing day of since they help but the bodice is causing me as much concern as the weight of the skirt. Are there any products anyone knows of for hyperhydrosis / excessive sweating that genuinely works and won’t give me chemical burns since I do have sensitive skin. I can go down the rabbit hole of buying every product out there but I would ideally like some direction to start.

TL:DR bride terrified of melting at wedding seeking suggestions for full body anti perspirants with anti odor qualities.

Can anyone make sense of this?

It looks like aurebesh to me but some letters are backwards, others aren’t, and some I don’t recognize at all. Maybe my super basic aurebesh isn’t enough for this, but saw it in a video where creators had hand made signs for a cantina themed night at their place. First sign the letters were all backwards but said “NO BLASTERS” but this second sign I can’t make heads or tails of. They never answered what it said and its from like two months ago so I don’t think they’re likely to answer now lol. Any guesses?

Should I be doing something for my Monstera?

Ok, I inherited this plant from an old neighbor, it was one TINY leaf and wouldn’t grow for her even after a year. I got better light and it took off a bit (I’ve had it for about 3 years now). In the last year we moved and I now have a sunroom to die for that the plants just love (I need a bigger plant table clearly) and the monstera has started sprouting bigger and bigger leaves which is great.

However, I still have these tiny and scraggly looking leaves at the bottom of the plant from when it first started off.. also all new growth has been off the weird, mid-air node that seems to have a giant air root. Should I be cutting back the small old leaves even though they’re still green and healthy? What about the weird node thing that all the new growth is coming off of? Should that part be in the soil or on a better type of stake than my lil bamboo sticks? Last picture is the leaf that just sprouted and opened over the last week (it’s finally getting fenestrations!), so clearly the plant is happy I just feel like I should be doing something more with it.

I water almost weekly now that we’re in the summer months and the soil dries out a bit faster, I water around the base until the soil starts to look hydrated. The pot has drainage into an attached small overflow dish, but it rarely gets overwatered to the point of dripping down. In the winter I water a little more spread out, every couple weeks, as the room it’s in is heated but the soil doesn’t dry as quickly in the cooler months. I wipe the leaves with a damp paper towel every few weeks regardless of time of year to remove dust/dog hairs and pat lightly dry with a second clean cloth to avoid any rot.

(~10k) Parent gift - design for future FIL?

Hi all! I’m in the thick of planning our small (50 guest) wedding taking place this October. I’ve decided as just small tokens for each of our parents to hand embroider a handkerchief for each of them (pics below) as well as one for myself, my groom, and my aunt that I’m named after (I’m the closest thing she has to having a child).

Each handkerchief has a personalized message relating to the recipient and some embellishment (their favorite flowers for the aunt/parents, stars and moon for mine/FH as it’s our wedding theme). My issue lies with my future FIL - he has no favorite flower/plant. I don’t want to just throw something on there for the sake of it, I want to have something that’s meaningful to him, you know? But I’m not quite sure where to go from here. I don’t want it to just be the message since that’s less effort than I put into the others. I do know he loves his boat and waterskis, maybe I do something there? I just can’t picture what. Any suggestions are incredibly appreciated.

Help! Printing on Vellum with ET2760

As title says, I'm struggling to get my vellum to print properly with my Epson ET2760. I have tried using the Prem. Presentation Paper Matte and Semi-Gloss Photo paper settings as I've seen both suggested online. I am using blue painters tape to have it tacked to a regular sheet of paper to ensure the printer can see where it's printed. I have tried both having "High Speed" turned on and off. I have watched countless videos, wasted more vellum than I would really like, and am getting no where.

My pattern is a basic watercolor abstract (see photo) of blues and gold. The gold is consistently printing as a pale yellow despite turning up brightness and saturation - though I understand this may just be the nature of the material. I also consistently get black ink splatters/splotches on the edges of the leading side, and then the rollers are smudging the design at the end. I have no clue what to do at this point and really don't want to spend even more on pre-printed vellum after I've already spent the money on the supplies and template..

Please, any help is greatly appreciated because I'm about to start crying and am already overwhelmed doing all this on my own as is... I thought using a splatter-type design would work in my favor and hide any small mistakes but I can't hide color drags / giant black splotches...
