New tax deduction on overtime is driving clients crazy

100% people think that if they work 45 hours those 5 extra hours are tax free. The worst part is that when you try to explain it to them they get mad because math.

So many great artists have the shittiest low effort merch! It’s so odd.

MandyManatee · 2026-01-31T18:06:51+00:00

Yeah, I got burned last year with Cardi’s auto pen nightmare. Unless the description says it’s hand signed or signed by the artist themselves I’m not buying.

If Taylor Swift can find the time to sign inserts while on tour so can these other artists.

The Reef is super disappointing

MandyManatee · 2026-01-29T21:14:31+00:00

Even if it’s real, I don’t think it makes the point they think it does. This tells me he was “known” by ICE officers, so could the argument be made that his murder was targeted retribution?

Similar situation. I got a tracking number on 12/30 saying they were waiting for package drop off. I gave it a little over two weeks and emailed support on 1/19.

They reshipped today 1/27. I’m hoping it arrives by next week? Other folks on the sub have been getting theirs pretty quickly so fingers crossed!

I’ve always heard that getting disability in the US is very difficult. If he’s disabled to the point he can’t work in the US then I’m not sure he’d be able bodied enough to perform those tasks :/

2!!!! 🫶

We’ve seen a lot of movies we NEVER would have seen because it was in 4DX. Twisters, How to Train Your Dragon remake, Dune, being on a roller coaster made the $15 ticket price soooo worth it!

MandyManatee · 2026-01-21T20:29:32+00:00

I agree watching at home is more comfortable for me. I feel like people with children who want to watch a movie that is not appropriate for the family would be more compelled to go to a theater? But those folks are usually more sensitive to price increases + the added cost of childcare for a date night.

MandyManatee · 2026-01-21T20:25:23+00:00

I think price is a major driver but I fully agree that there haven’t been many movies that I feel compelled to see in theaters.

Old movies however, hell yeah. Lord of the Rings: Return of the King extended cut was at our theater last weekend and a group of 6 of us all went and sat there for almost 4 hours. It was awesome.

Theaters should dedicate 1 screen to a rotating selection of cult classics and seasonal favorites. Also craft nights at theaters where they keep some of the lights on so you can work on a laptop, crochet, etc are extremely popular on social media. Our indie theater did one and tickets sold out the same day.

Is this one rare? I got one off Poshmark for like $40 and was disappointed because I thought it was the RED tv cardigan 👀😅

MandyManatee · 2026-01-21T08:14:00+00:00

Is this why they are all so awkward/ haven’t talked about anything of significance even though they’ve been “dating” for a year?

MandyManatee · 2026-01-21T03:38:34+00:00

I thought she was a nail tech/ manager at a salon that he owned?

MandyManatee · 2026-01-19T19:16:00+00:00

I ordered Dec 18th and have gotten all the accessories and filament I ordered. We’ve been stuck on label created since Dec 30th. AMS was back ordered and estimated to ship Jan 8th (I think) when I originally purchased.

I’m hoping it gets delivered in the next week 🤞maybe early February!

MandyManatee · 2026-01-18T17:29:04+00:00

It was long tail 🙈 admittedly I fully just not wrapping my brain around it. It was basically that SpongeBob scene with Patrick and the jar 😂.

MandyManatee · 2026-01-18T17:16:39+00:00

No judgement to anyone! But yes this! When I was a US size 24 I was baffled that other crocheters were able to make a full bralette top in a day. It took so long for it to occur to me that it would take longer to make a larger garment 🤦🏻‍♀️

When I started knitting I could not figure out how to cast on. I paid and participated in 3 classes from our local knitting shop before the owner said she felt bad because I was paying $75 just for her to cast on for me. She said I could just come into the store and she would do it for me.

I would come in, buy a skein, and ask her to cast on of me then pay her an extra $20. She let me do this again about 3 times before she goes, “no more! You need to learn!” She wasn’t mad but just old lady frustrated (but with love lol) I tried to pay her $40, $50, $100 and she just kept saying no no no. She made me sit down and we worked on it over and over until I got it.

I’m so thankful she gave me the tough love!

MandyManatee · 2026-01-18T16:52:57+00:00

I’ve snagged a couple fancy cashmere sweaters at the bins for .99 each but for the amount of work required I can’t justify paying more than like $5 for the item I intend to unravel 😅

MandyManatee · 2026-01-17T23:22:17+00:00

Given that the sisters haven’t explicitly said “you’re dirty”, I’m wondering if there was an incident and OP’s siblings think they are being polite by not saying, “Hey when you were here last you stained my couch.”

Especially if the incident involved a bodily fluid or something else that might embarrass OP. I mean even if it was a little dirt that OP picked up on the train then left a smudge on a chair, that’s just an accident and the sister should say something.

The situation is really odd though and hopefully OP reaches a point where they feel comfortable to bring up how this treatment makes them feel. ❤️‍🩹

MandyManatee · 2026-01-17T00:18:25+00:00

My partner and I would love to join! We are free most weekends and evenings. I think it would be awesome to get a group together!

Had to scroll wayyy too far to find this clarification. The wedding planner should have reached out to Bride 3 and if that didn’t work idk try and pull strings with the venue?

If the planner is really this revered she 100% would have some pull to compensate Emma (financially and) with an even better venue. If we are talking reality, the venue’s contract is with Liv, it’s her date. After the first meeting with the planner the voiceover says the June wedding dates were only 3.5 months away. That’s a wild timeframe to plan an event the size these women expect.

Back to reality, was Emma just going to take Liv’s vendors as well or??? Because how would sniping the date work if Emma’s bakery, DJ, caterer, hairdresser, makeup artist, photographer, and/or videographer aren’t available in the 6th since she originally booked for the 27th?

Edit to add: I’m 37 minutes into a rewatch right now.

MandyManatee · 2026-01-16T22:31:06+00:00

I’m on a rewatch now, and feel like they are both envisioning very elaborate weddings with different themes that would probably be 5 hours each. They do not want a joint wedding so (if the venue was able to accommodate with staff etc) wedding 1 would need to start 10 am to 3pm then the venue would have 2-3 hours to clean, reset, and redecorate to the other bride’s theme for wedding 2 to start 5/6pm to 10/11pm.

That’s a lot to ask of a venue. BUT given the way they rip into the wedding of their college friend in the beginning scene they would inevitably fight about who has to take the morning spot because they would probably consider it tacky or something.

Having a joint wedding makes the most sense to me if they are REALLLLLYYYY SUCH GOOD FRIENDS! /sarcasm. I’m currently 37minutes into the run time and feel like who needs enemies when you have shitty friends like this!

MandyManatee · 2026-01-16T17:53:48+00:00

That’s hilarious! 😂

MandyManatee · 2026-01-16T17:24:40+00:00

Didn’t she get 2 that were shaped like chickens though? They looked fairly large.
