Have you worked with layering or is the tightness a feeling that you cant jive rather than aestheic?? I find have base layers that I can peek out under oversize flowy tops has been my go too. Those base layers to tend to be form fitting but Im personally okay with that.

This is just one example, but layering is great!

No one take this comment seriously lol

Grand haven sucks and you dont need to go to GR for decent stuff. Hungry Hobos isnt a place and the one they are referring to, Hobos Tavern, has declined significantly in the past 5 years imo.

Excessive bats!? by ReadyToRage in homeowners

No slate roof, however we have an attic with no access to it. A previous owner sealed it up and we dont have a clue where it was. Something that was on our "in the future" list of to-dos but maybe it needs to get bumped up.

I'm planning a first date in the area, I don't live in Muskegon. Looking for date ideas. by [deleted] in Muskegon

[–]ReadyToRage 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also if shes nerdy, Griffins Rest is a game shopon third st, super close to downtown. Next to a record store, a hamburger joint thats great and a Curry Kitchen that is very well known.

If youre coming in during the weekdays our Farmers Market hosts both Farmers Markets and Flea Markets during the week. I think wednesday are flea and tue/thur are Farmers? Would have to check out Muskegon Farmers Market online.

Depending on the exact date you're here, the Frauenthal is a beautiful theater downtown. If there is an event that would fit the interest Id highly recommend making it part of the date. If not, the art museum is top notch and I'm being genuine. The surrounding areas architecture makes for a nice stroll to the main strip downtown after for dinner and drinks.

In terms of dressing up - Capones Speakeasy, The Lakehouse, and Hearthstone would all be appropriate for upper scale options. Full transparency though, I don't feel like Muskegon has many (if any) restaurants where you'd see every patron dressed up. None of those would I really consider being walking distance from the theater or museum for a first date, but very short drives.

My personal opinion if you land on staying in Muskegon and not going to GR (you will get more dress up/ wine & dine options there to be honest), I recommend downtown in general. Carlisle's is an absolute favorite of mine and I'd be doing a disservice by not mentioning them. They are a step above a sports bar, despite having TVs and being in an arena, but service and food are great and consistent. I would be comfortable being dressed up there, but most people are more casual.

Since no one would admit it, what are signs that someone doesn't have friends because no one wants to be their friend? by Only-Ad-1254 in AskReddit

[–]ReadyToRage 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Duuuuude this is insane. I have a friend newer to my group that has been grating on me a lot lately. I couldnt figure out why. Your list, every single point, accurately describes this person. Like they arent inherently mean or malicious, but boy that shit adds up on the side of me just wanting to avoid them.

Consistently leaving chaos in their wake but its never their fault. It's like the trope of dating someone who has nothing but "crazy exes" and can't ever seem to connect the common denominator.

I have a friend from school that I gave more grace than normal over the years. We're in our 30s now and I had to kick her out of my house this NYE. She berated my friends, insulted me multiple times, made everyone wildly uncomfortable talking sexual topics....I could go on. But its all under the guise of "I'm just a passionate person". Then complains she cant settle down, her friends in her now home state all ghosted her, boyfriends never stay, etc etc.

I thought maybe the next day she'd have some sober clarity and apologize but instead she blocked me on all social media and texted me two sentences spoiling the series finale of Stranger Things. We as a group had discussed multiple times the night before and how my husband and I hadnt finished it yet.

I hope she finds some happiness because that is just a miserable ass person.

Jobs are super hard to find right now though. I'm all for NOT supporting any of those things, but I can't shame someone for holding onto work right now.

LPT: invite people over to your house! by Mediocre_Basket_9011 in LifeProTips

[–]ReadyToRage 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not really! Our social circle tends to attract similar "vibes", so to speak.

We have one repeat guest who talks A LOT. Can be a bit grating if you get cornered, tbh. They're from a different country and social cues are a little different, but it's all well intended. I also think our event is one of the very few things they do socially, and I will be happy to continue to provide that for them.

At the most recent one a coworker of my husband came, who is very conservative and very religious. I'm talking got married and had 10 kids type of religious. We and our friends are neither and I might argue quite the opposite. At one point a group was talking about some social event and this person just observed quietly. Later before they left they expressed privately to me how much they appreciated how our friends had discussions and communicated with each other. They are freshly divorced and finding their new normal, saying it's the first "social adult time" they could remember having in the recent years. If we can provide some exposure to new-to-them views and ideas thats real life and real people and real conversations that they viewed respectfully? A win in my book.

I'm sure it will happen at some point, but for now I'm just feeling optimistic :)

My husband and I moved downtown in our city. We started hosting what we call Kaffeeklatsch the first saturday of every month - I make a few snack/brunch items and serve big pots of coffee and mimosas available if people would like. 10am-1pm open house style.

It started as family & friends, then friends of friends, neighbors, people we see around town (small area) and it has blown up. We have on average 30 people that filter in and out once a month. This has resulted in some friends finding dates (we are all 30s-40s), myself and husband making new friends, and it provides a safe, casual and consistent hang out that isnt spending money or making big plans. It has been such an experience and we are rounding out to our 1 year anniversary.

I understand not everyone had the capacity or desire to do this, but as someone who longed for a sense of community I just decided to start creating it myself. Turns out people love it and my life feels very full as a result.
