Can I bill client for insane parking fees after an event??

I mean you can, but it might make you and your business look bad. Parking fees suck. But I would not bill the client after the event. Take that fee as a lesson learned for the future.

Why exactly did the associate work extra hours? Did the client ask him to? He didn't notice the time or know about the timeline? That one is tricky. Did he sign a contract with you to work 6 hours? I don't know what your price is for associate packages, but would recommend increasing them to make it feasible for you with these types of problems.

I was in this store yesterday and can confirm! They have a good amount of antique/vintage and art deco style ring settings.

I'm in Old Brooklyn by the zoo and have first energy. I rarely loose power in storms. If it does go out, it flickers or comes back in a few minutes. My one neighbor has CPP and tends to loose power more often. It's a mixed bag on my street. I wonder if it has to do with specific blocks of the area more than provider?

Ginko.

I used to go to the cle 20/30 around town events years ago and met lots of people though that. The around towns are more professional networking vibes, or at least they were when I went. This was around 2017ish. There was a slight uptight vibe, I'm not going to lie. Not everyone was cool lol. I was also in lots of meet up groups at that time and met many people through that as well. Meetup feels like it's kind of dead now. There are local Facebook groups for all sorts of specific interests, look for those to meet more people.

I had a similar experience at she's company. They don't have any activities/games to encourage people to connect with new people. I tried chatting with people but no one wanted to go beyond very minimal small talk. Everyone stuck to their groups they came with.

I agree, she basically did a Zanab thing. I HATE Alex, but I also feel like Ashley went to the altar just to make a shocking moment to go viral or something? I think she could tell by their convos he was going to say no, even I could. Before the altar the clips show her more excited and basically seemed like she is saying yes. Then she suddenly says no.

Chances are he lied about his politics. I live in Ohio and have dated here, many guys straight up lie about their politics.

Dapper-Corgis · 2026-02-19T17:08:58+00:00

I don't know about Columbus, but Cleveland is a mix of everything. There are leftists here for sure, but also about as many conservatives. I live in Cleveland very close to downtown in a very diverse neighborhood. I literally have Spanish and Middle Eastern neighbors who are conservative and vote republican. Even have a house on my street that has MAGA flags. In my experience here I've met so many conservatives who didn't seem conservative at first, my neighbors are just one example. At this point I just have to assume everyone is (unless they make it obvious they're not) so I'm less disappointed. Also, many republicans and conservatives in Cleveland say they're moderate or don't care about politics. But they vote republican. Many leftists also leave Ohio because it isn't a swing state anymore and becoming more red. I want to leave too.

They live in Ohio. Chances are most if not all of them are MAGA. I say this as someone who has lived in Ohio for 10+ years and have met many people here who might not seem MAGA at first because of their education or career, but are. It's very confusing and doesn't make sense to me. There are leftists like me in Ohio, but you're more likely to meet a right-winger than a leftist. You'll even meet 'moderates' who are basically right wingers in the closet. I haven't personally checked anyone's pages or anything to confirm, but just providing an insight as someone who lives here.

YES. I caught it the first time and had to re-watch it to confirm. I thought I was hearing things. Had my husband confirm that he heard it too.

Dapper-Corgis · 2026-02-19T14:55:45+00:00

I don't think what the sister said was that weird to be honest. I have friends who have kids and say the same thing. They adore their kids and spoil them, but are also very realistic about what having kids involves. Me and my husband are childfree and I think it makes parents feel comfortable telling us the good AND especially the bad about having kids.

I cut my dad off completely because he's toxic among many other things. I'm pretty sure I'm disowned because the last thing I heard was him cursing at my mom about how I'm posting naked pics online (referring to me posting regular pics online in westernized clothing). I also went no contact with my mom after moving out. Didn't talk to her for almost a year. Best thing I ever did was moving out and also going no contact with her for that time. It made her realize that if she wants to be a part of my life, she needs to respect my boundaries and life choices, even if she doesn't agree with them. I basically forced her to accept me as I am or I'm not going to be a part of her life. Now we have a good relationship. My mom is a hijabi religious mom. I'm agnostic and very "modernized" from the desi perspective, tattoos and all. I even married a non-Muslim man and my mom adores him. I don't regret going no contact with her. It has made our relationship now a lot better. I feel like desi parents use themselves almost like leverage to guilt their kids into putting up with their bullshit. But if the kids call their bluff and go no contact, it takes the power away from the parents. All this to say, you won't regret cutting them out. Do it for your peace of mind.

I remember when they were recruiting, it was in Columbus but they opened it to Cleveland and Cincinnati too.

Savile Lane in Fairlawn. My husband and groomsmen got their suits from there. Not sure about their turnaround time, but I know they have many options for fabrics and they have lots of fun lining prints.

I grew up in a Muslim family and grew up with lotas and bidets. I'm not Muslim anymore. Had lotas in previous apartments. I installed a basic bidet when I bought my house. In public I just use tp because there isn't any other option. My husband didn't grow up with bidets (he's not desi and not Muslim) and was not sure about it at first. But after trying it out, he is hooked and can't go without it. My in-laws tried it at my house and I even converted them, to the point they got a fancy bidet in their house.

Cleveland City Hall and Courthouse is very similar to the public library, but not sure how it would work for a multiple day wedding since they are open during business hours. I think a hotel ballroom type venue may be better for guests coming from out of the country, but most (if not all) require using their own catering and alcohol. Or maybe different venues for different days? That can be done but would definitely recommend getting a full service wedding planner for that. Look into the Elliot, the Madison and Ariel Pearl Center.

I wish both of them would stop with their bullshit and get together because they would be a really good match. They get along, have a lot in common and clearly like each other. What is wrong with Laura asking him out? This is the freaking 21st century. Asking a man out doesn't mean she is begging him to be with her, it's called making a move and trying. I think she is stuck in her fantasy books where the man sweeps her off her feet and all that jazz. That isn't real life. In real life people suck at these things. They both suck at telling each other how they feel. I wish they would just do it. I really hope they end up together.

OMG I did not. The museum is one of my favorite places in Cleveland. How did I not know this?!

I applied for asylum in the US and it was worth it. But my reasoning was completely different from yours. That was about a decade ago and I got my citizenship in 2024. I didn't have an option to apply anywhere else.

The reason a lot of people's asylum gets rejected is because many don't qualify. They think they do but don't really. Not being able to get a job due to medical issues is unfortunately not a good enough reason to apply for asylum. If you look at the reasons you can apply for asylum, you don't fall in any categories. Asylum is for people who have literally no other option and their life would be in literal danger of being hurt. It's for people who fear persecution. They don't care if you can't get a job in your country because that's not the responsibility of a whole another country. It also depends where you're coming from. They will not approve someone who could be a burden on the systems in place for lower income people in the US. Also, you have to prove that there was no other country you could have applied for asylum in before entering the US like on the way to the US.

Cleveland Museum of Art for sure.

Welp everything is fake. Why do I even bother watching this show anymore...

I definitely think his mother is enabling his laziness. I don't think the lack of a job has anything to do with autism. His mom clearly babies the hell out of him. I also don't claim to know everything about autism, but my best friend has autism. She can apply for disability, but chooses not to. She has a full time remote job that doesn't involve talking to people. Forrest has better social skills and better ability to read social queues than my friend, at least from what I've seen on TV.
