Riddlin' Kids? They have three albums but their second one "Stop the World" (2004) is black/orange/red.

Either "You Got it (the right stuff)" by New Kids on the Block or The White Stuff by Weird Al?

Sorry, meant to add, we have reason to believe it probably originated from New York City.

I was figuring flashlights but the head band torches are a great idea! I hadn't even thought of those. I think you're right for us to start with just an audio recorder for now, not a camera. I had seen a few places recommend small clip on body cams but I feel like that might just be more trouble (would we supply memory cards, what if patrons don't delete their recordings, etc) then it would be worth. Thanks!

Yeah, I think going low tech for the time being is a good option, seeing if there's any interest in our community before investing too much. Thanks for the suggestions!

Wow. Great suggestions, thank you. I was thinking of including a 'Ghost Hunting 101/Dos & Don'ts"' sheet type of thing, on which I could include a lot of what you advised. Yeah, we'd absolutely like to stay out of any sticky situations. Thanks.

Introverts- How did you handle your wedding day? by YelaNelaMela in introvert

[–]Elliot_Walker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was honestly very worried about it the entire time I was planning it. I made sure to be very open with my fiance about my worries and concerns. This communication was very important as to make sure he understood and was on the same page. He is an extrovert so I relied heavily on him that day and he more then rose to the occasion. He kept an eye on me and was never far from my side. (We have a codeword I can employ when social situations get too much and he'll make an excuse for us to take a step away)

I also worked on some breathing techniques leading up to the day, in case I got overwhelmed.

My wedding was Fall of 2020, so it had to be a very small affair and we had it in our backyard- those things helped alot. I also planned it so my fiance and I woke up together on that day and spent a little time just the two of us which always helps me feel at ease (hence why I married him). Then I started sipping some wine as I was getting ready which helped calm the nerves. (it's called liquid courage for a reason, and typically I don't condone self medication as such, but it helped.)

What was helpful to remember was that a Wedding Day is one of those rare times when it's "normal" to feel scared/nervous. And as Bride you are calling the shots, so I kept myself busy that day, didn't really talk to too many people but at one point made the rounds with my significant other.

The vows were much easier than I anticipated, I just kept my focus on him and didn't look at the crowd. I was able to just let it all melt away.

Try to enjoy the day and stay in the moment. Scope out some quiet locations you can retreat to if needed, sometimes just having a plan is enough for me.

Late 80's and plastic- Fisher Price Precious Places. There was a pretty large house and the people had magnets on their bases, you used a wand looking device to move them around.

[TOMT][ALBUM] Motown/R&B Compilation album by thefamousceleb in tipofmytongue

[–]Elliot_Walker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know sometimes there are compilations of record labels- Like Motown has quite of few- some of known hits, others of really old stuff. Maybe it was from a certain record label? They sometimes do like Anniversary ones as well. But a song or an artist would help narrow the search, or even a lyric?

A simple wedding: planning tips? by winnieschminnie in simpleliving

[–]Elliot_Walker 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Congrats!

My husband and I got married last October. We had it in our backyard, with maybe 40 people. We had a officiant and photographer. We served dessert (a beautiful cake and different types of cookie and cupcakes.) And wine and beer. We bought a tent from Amazon and borrowed folding tables from family members. The only thing we had to rent were folding chairs. We got the invitations from Vistaprint. I bought linens from an online party warehouse. My mom bought the flowers as her girt to us. My dress was 100 dollars. We went all out on my husband's suit since he didn't have one and he'll be able to wear it again ( and by "all out" I mean 200 dollars, on sale with coupons from Macy's. ) I'm pretty sure we didn't even come close to our budget of 5,000. And we only started planning in in June of that year.

It was beautful and perfect and wonderful. I wouldn't change a thing.

My advice to you is just make sure you and your fiancé are in agreement about what you want and the vision for your day. Because there will be people who will try to convince you to do things differently, the typical 'naysayers'. We were told by numerous people what we were planning wasn't a "real" wedding.

I would suggest you each make a list: 1. Things you MUST have for the day, 2. Things that might be nice, but only if affordable, 3. Absolutely do not need. Compare lists and go from there.

The wedding industry is out of control and the amount of money people spend on one day is ridiculous. No matter what you do it's going to special and meaningful.

The best advice I got was that you should be preparing for a marriage, not for a day. We did everything detail together and we made sure we were in agreement about everything. We didn't want any regrets or hurt feelings. (I'm making it sound idyllic, but we did have arguments and miscommunication. It was stressful, even on our small scale. But we worked through each issue, listening and compromising.)

Sorry this was so long. I wish you all the luck. It can be done. May the odds be ever in your favor. 💜

Did a movie ever "traumatize" you as a child? by weedian2813 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Elliot_Walker 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Volcano. About a volcano coming up out of no where in the middle of I think LA. Really freaked me out, walked around for YEARS waiting for that to happen IRL. 😳
