Bridesmaid dress as wedding guest?

I want to wear this dress to a wedding (as a guest). I know the way its styled in the picture is as a bridesmaid dress and I think it does give very bridesmaid vibes. But I already have the dress and dont want it to just sit in my closet forever. I also feel like the wedding ill be attending is a winter wedding so the colour, length, vibe of the dress totally match that. I dont think the teal will match any of the bride's decor or the bridesmaids dress at the wedding...but im also somehow petrified that there is a possibility the bridesmaids could wear this same dress just in a different colour! Id bring a backup dress with me just in case (i know the possibility is so low).

Is it weird to wear a dress that is very "bridesmaidy" to a wedding as a guest? Is there a way I could style it to make it look less like a bridesmaid gown?

Shortening the length isnt an option. I dont want to wear a short gown to a cold winter wedding!

addition: the dress material (outer layer) is chiffon which i think also kind of gives a bridesmaid vibe. But its so comfortable and flowy which I love too!

How to fix sink caulking from getting yellow.

Our bathroom sink keeps getting yellow and crusty. My husband keeps caulking it with just a regular tube if caulking and tbh when he first applies it it looks great and even and smooth (and white). But after about 2 months it starts to peel and turns yellow and brown. Then he scrapes it back off and applies more....but im thinking he must not be using the right product or applying to correct way for it to keep becoming yellow.

Now ill be honest in saying-- my toddlers are notorious for wetting the entire bathroom counter so there isnt really a way to keep it dry all the time (despite us keeping a cloth on hand to dry around the sink) this still happens.

The photo doesnt really do it justice-- it to me looks alot worse. Very yellow and peely!

Disputing parking ticket

We got a $50 parking ticket for parking our car on the street overnight. We had a friend over didnt want them to drive drunk and with limited parking spaces on our driveway ended up leaving our car on the street.

What is the process for disputing? The ticket was given by bylaw (yellow ticket). I know you need to appeal it online-- but do you have to go in person? How easy is it to make your case and have it lowered? $50 feels like a money grab.

And before you come for me... I do recognize that yes youre not allowed to park on the street overnight. But honestly if we are being responsible and not driving drunk its just irritating to be penalized for it.

What is this patch on my foot that is painless but kind of concerning.

About 3 weeks ago this spot was achy and hurt alot. It hurt mainly when I put pressure on it but there was no visible mark or bruise or changes to the skin at that time. Now about 3 weeks later I have this spot on the bottom of my foot but no pain...even if I press on it it doesnt hurt. The skin also feels the same as the other skin on my foot.

Im 33 F and I was recently told I am pre diabetic. But other then that pretty healthy and hygienic. I will say i have a pair of shoes I do sweat in alot-- but since this happened I havent worn those shoes at all.

My dad had diabetes and got foot ulcers so im a little worried about that.

I did have to run on hot pavement while camping and then felt this pain, was also at the beach and then felt this pain after-- so not sure if it could be related to that but interested in why there was no mark but pain before and then all of a sudden no pain but now a patch of white skin that isnt like filling with fluid/bubbling or peeling.

Using credit online

I recieved a sephora credit online because I accidently booked a make up appointment for the next day and then had to cancel. They charged my credit card a $20 cancellation fee cause i cancelled less than 24 hrs later..when i called in I explained i had mixed up the dates when booking online and they said they could credit me back the $20 through my sephora online account! Which was great!

Its a few weeks later though and I want to purchase something online but I don't know how to use the credit towards the purchase... I can see in my account that I have the $20 in my account but when I look at my checkout cart there is no where to apply a credit (only a reward/promo).

Anyone know how to do this?

TV shows my 5 y/o and I would enjoy watching together?

My kiddo (almost 6) doesnt get a ton of tv time...but when he does he wants us all to watch together.

I find myself so bored with the cartoons he watches and end up scrolling my phone (which makes me terrible I know). I also kind of get overstimulated watching animation.

We've watched alot of kids animated movies-- but im looking for a show we could watch consistently together and both be interested.

Bluey, nature documentaries/animal documentaries, cooking shows are in the mix. We started fuller house but I feel like it was a bit over his head-- but he did like it. (Looking for ideas beyond this).

EDITED: Wild Kratts, Bluey, Story Bots & Dino Dan (have already been in rotation)

EDIT AGAIN: wow thanks everyone! Ive added some great suggestions to our list. I cross posted this in a Facebook group and actually someone suggested all the disney shows (us melennials) grew up with....which is great cause I have some recollection of where the show is headed so I can also skip parts that may not work for my kid!

In case anyone is wondering for their own kiddos--

Suite Life of Zach & Cody

Good Luck Charlie

Wizards of Waverly Place

Thats so Raven

Cory in the House

Lizzie Macquire

Arthur (not disney)

Pinery Provincial Park- Canada Day

Im staying at the campgrounds during Canada day. Im wondering if you can see the grand bend fireworks from the Campground beach? The shoreline is huge-- so i dont expect to be super close-- but wondering if it would be better to just stay at the provincial park and watch from there instead of heading the the main event site (main beach). I feel like its going to be super busy and chaotic there.
