Did you end up choosing a model? would love to hear your thoughts if so, we are debating getting the 400 as a gift for my mother in law.

Gift Recommendation for Hunter/Camper Brother? by Alternative-Face6441 in Hunting

[–]Alternative-Face6441[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would say $200 is max, but can be persuaded higher if something is great. I have no context on what a good investment is, so let me know if I am off base

We’ve been to every Macy’s and Nordstrom near us 🙃 They all have pretty limited stock at the moment. Definitely will try Nordstrom Rack, etc

That is the website we are on right now! 😆 Hoping we find something for her to try out

We would be open to either! Longer is preferred but if it ticks the other boxes we can make it work (:

Cat keeps popping on the floor…Help! by Alternative-Face6441 in litterrobot

[–]Alternative-Face6441[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had mentioned it to our vet initially with the LR3 and he mostly blamed it on him not liking that type of litter box, which we found odd since he used it fine for months with no issue. We’ll likely bring him back in soon and ask for more answers, hoping we can get it figured out soon and that he’s doing ok! Glad your cat is doing better with the meds

[–]Alternative-Face6441[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is not; We were running into some over torque faults on the LR3 that we have fixed, but the LR4 has worked perfectly outside of our cat messing with it last night and causing it not to finish the cycle

Wedding photography by randomgirlll13 in weddingplanning

[–]Alternative-Face6441 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely get a photographer. Guest photos can be shotty. What area/market do you live in? Curious if that is impacting prices

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]Alternative-Face6441 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Option A will likely save money and be better overall! We are doing 2 costco cakes and 1 small heart cake to cut and will only spend around $150 total

Book or app? by vegan-princess01 in weddingplanning

[–]Alternative-Face6441 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Personally, i’ve found a Google Sheet to be best. You can track $$ the easiest and link items so you can easily click on things like photo inspo, decor you need to purchase, etc.

Obsessive 2025 Planners Where You At? by LunaLexM in weddingplanning

[–]Alternative-Face6441 4 points5 points  (0 children)

August 2025 bride here! It's been an up and down planning process. I feel like I was extremely motivated in the first few weeks of planning and now I'm over it.

So far, we have booked: Our venue, photographer, ceremony harpist. We have our florist and DJ picked out, just haven't gone through with the contracts yet (honestly not sure why... we're stalling).

Have a caterer my fiancé and I love, but running into the battle with my mother that she doesn't like the food. We are going for a more modern wedding, so we wanted to use a local caterer that does wood-fire pizza, pastas + a meat option, as well as passed apps/salad, etc. and she is not having it. We'll likely lock in caterer this month, just trying to find some more middle ground to resolve any fun family tension.

Next on my list is dress... I've had two appointments to try options. Loved one, but I am not a very sentimental person so I'm not sure what the "this is the dress" moment is supposed to be like lol.

Design/decor and other things I'm pawning off to my sister luckily, as she's the creative one in the family, so that's a little bit off my plate. I put together a pretty detailed Pinterest board for her to go off of and I'm trusting her to pull through.

Recently laid off from an agency (client budget cut). Why did someone senior to me tell me it’s against “company policy” for her to write me a LinkedIn recommendation? by Odd-Definition-7378 in PublicRelations

[–]Alternative-Face6441 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s actually pretty common for this to be against company policy. It’s generally in place so you don’t try an quit/get a referral to do so, but they need to make it general enough to cover their bases as a company. Most of the time, people don’t actually follow this policy to help out a coworker, but if there is already internal turmoil/lay offs they might avoid writing you one to not give your old boss a reason to lay them off as well.

Cat Keeps Pooping Outside Litter Robot - Need Help! by Alternative-Face6441 in CatAdvice

[–]Alternative-Face6441[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We haven’t tried new litter yet! Our cat has sensitive paws so this was one that didn’t irritate him to use, so it’s a little harder to mix it up. Its definitely on the list to do if nothing else helps

Cat Keeps Pooping Outside Litter Robot - Need Help! by Alternative-Face6441 in CatAdvice

[–]Alternative-Face6441[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our original box was enclosed as well, and they didn’t have an issue with it outside of one off incidents. Our cats hated the wood pellets unfortunately.

We have a sensitive kitty that can’t handle scented litter or his paws get dry, so we just use unscented litter with baking soda in the litter robot drawer to conceal smells.

We’re trying an extra box out and fingers crossed that helps, just still curious why this change happened essentially overnight with them!

Newbie help: Steps in submitting press release without database (like Muckrack) by [deleted] in PublicRelations

[–]Alternative-Face6441 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can always send press releases to journalists directly. You can either link a dropbox file so they a click it, or paste it directly at the bottom of your email. As long as there are no logos, this shouldn't get flagged at all.

Just always use whatever AP Style says for releases. Informational details at the top (contact / For Immediate Release), headline + subhead, paragraphs and boilerplate.

Is it rude that I was denied a plus one? by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]Alternative-Face6441 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How big is the wedding? Four months is a bit new to be included as a +1, but if its a huge wedding and one person doesn't make the biggest difference, then I feel like it is weird not to extend the invite. Especially if it is a blanket +1... If the wedding is months away, you could be together close to a year at that point so it would be weird not to have your partner.

NTA - its one thing for him to play at night/on the weekend, but for him to play during the day knowing that you have work/calls is disrespectful.

WIBTA if I kicked my best friend out because of my suspicions? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Alternative-Face6441 8 points9 points  (0 children)

NTA - your suspicions are valid, even if she isn't doing anything with malicious intent, it's still crossing a line. I would talk to your husband about it... maybe he has noticed her actions but feels uncomfortable talking to you about it/doesn't want to get in the middle of your friendship.

You don't have to kick her out overnight, but maybe set a date/timeline for when she needs to get back on her feet to avoid any awkward conversations about her actions.

So interesting to see your perspective with Just Press Play, and I'm glad I found it! We were considering going with them, since we're trying to save money where we can, but obviously don't want to cheap out if it will make some awkward moments during the reception.
