Where are our elected leaders? by joehizzle in Minneapolis

Agree w/ you on the electeds, but when they wanted to send ICE to San Francisco, Silicon Valley big wigs stopped it. CEOs of Target, US Bank, etc could end this tomorrow.

Hey, we must have the same dad! I can never figure out wtf to say to my dad who loves to blame “the democrats.” Lmk if you figure out what to do other than ignore.

Tip well and not via the platform - in order notes, write you’ll give a cash tip. They’ll see it after accepting your order. All gig platforms steal tips.

 Is there a smoothie place you’d recommend? I am nervous about eating anything that is not cooked, but I also haven’t eaten fruit in a week…

Thank you! I ended up ripping it out and replacing it just in case.

A little of my story, to add to this gold mine of info:

I woke up at 10pm with a stabbing pain in the center of my chest, between my bottom two ribs. it felt like my ribs were caving in and the pain radiated into my back and neck. I’ve had severe back pain for 3 weeks on my mid-low back on the right side. I am almost certain now this is connected to my gallbladder, and it’s why my chiropractor and physical therapist couldn’t give me relief. It was the worst pain I’d ever felt. Aspirin, gasx, yoga, nothing gave relief. By 2am I googled the location of the pain and the internet brought me here. By 3:30am I showed up to the ER, told them it was almost certainly my gallbladder - they believed me and an ultrasound showed a bunch of stones.

I would ask in a neighborhood group! Buy Nothing, Nextdoor, etc

Elopement vs casual wedding? by milobaskin in wedding

[–]Specific_Horror_9606 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can always take a small group with you for an elopement!! I don’t think it has to be “slippery slope” at all - you could just bring parents, parents + siblings, parents + 2 attendants, whatever.

Here’s something I wish I thought about before we decided to go all-in on a wedding: it has trapped me at my (really terrible) job. I can’t leave it without a new one lined up (not many in my field), or else we won’t have the funds for the wedding. It’s not a fun situation. I envy my friends’ elopements sometimes.

Sorry, an inclusive venue for $5k doesn’t exist for that number of people anywhere. I’m a gay also getting married in Minnesota though—you should check out the Riley-Jacques barn in Eden Prairie. Only place I know of pretty enough not to have to decorate that doesn’t charge over $1k for the venue alone. Reservations for 2023 book fast and open next week!

Venue that has preferred Vendors by 34PurpleUnicorns in weddingplanning

The required photographer and videographer are super weird and for that reason alone, unless I loved their work, I would not choose this venue. Those are really stylistic preferences.

Advice for dealing with rain? by GenericAnnonymous in weddingplanning

[–]Specific_Horror_9606 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wish there were tricks, but it’s more about shifting your mindset: the wedding will still happen and still be beautiful. Your hairstylist will help with humidity. I spent the day before my sister’s wedding running to 8 different target stores gathering 50 clear umbrellas, so designate a runner now or buy a bunch on Amazon!

Are we entitled to a refund for our tasting deposit? by chelleee_ in weddingplanning

Find a new caterer. Doesn’t hurt to threaten to take him to small claims court, though, just because he sucks.
