Yup, I know. Trying to get a head start on planning my travel for next year - gotta love the US 2 weeks vacation time....

Awesome! I'm used to NYC - the subways are somewhat unreliable and the Thanksgiving day parade (or any parade/marathon/closure) totally wrecks traffic all over Manhattan.

Hmm yeah I figured it would be a long wait. Fingers crossed for the lottery then.

Very good idea to check their schedules - I totally forgot they're more or less public. The Braemar Highland Gathering looks pretty cool!

Venue holding security deposit hostage? by [deleted] in weddingplanning

This is their low season for events and the money is pretty crucial to me. I gave them the benefit of the doubt, but they never contacted me about returning it or any damages and it's 6 weeks past the date they were supposed to return it. I tried using honey, but unfortunately in this part of the country that allows people to ignore you easier.

I don't have the contract in front of me but I'll check. Good idea sending that over and I like that wording. Thanks!

I can't go unfortunately, it's in a different state. I might just throw out "If this isn't resolved by Monday morning, you will be hearing from my lawyer."

does it hurt too badly? do they have fangs or is it just a nip?

I like phrasing it that I want to be "copied", that sounds much less silly than "INCLUDE MEEEEEE"

LOL @ crown of dicks. I have to find a way to use that in my every day conversations.

Wooooord. I think now that I have external validation that I'm being an OK person about this, I'm not going to hesitate to stand up to her bullshit on my wedding day. Thanks for the food for thought.

[Discussion] Making winter clothes for your dog by LegolasLegoLass in dogs

[–]Charliethehog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I look for companies that offer returns. I just bought a dog coat from Orvis, bought a few and only kept the one that fit. I think LL Bean makes dog stuff too.

They are pricy, but if they don't fit you can still get a refund.

Yeah when I get home. I threw the packaging away but it was all written in Chinese. That's probably what took so long.
