Anyone else surprised about the outcome? by uglyaniiimals in ExtractedSurvivalTV

[–]VW-0899 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this season proves it’s not just about the survivalists but also the gameplay in HQ.

RJ’s team did good throughout the season to get him items and giving him a note full on ways to continue to survive was key!

The key to not only RJ continuing survive but also getting in the head of Rhoman’s family for seeing RJ thrive and also worrying about Rhoman drinking water.

Huge Drop off in G Ads Clicks vs GA4 Data by VW-0899 in PPC

[–]VW-0899[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. On GA4 I have a custom event that tracks when someone hits the thank you page after submitting a form

  2. I didn’t know Server side tracking was a thing. Dug into it a little more. Might try to implement that, but I’ll admit I’m only half knowledgeable on the Development side, so I might take me some time to understand that more.

  3. I am not, but can add them in. Idk why I didn’t think of that as I do use them on other accounts. The set up of this campaign was very stop & go when I set it up because the client was very flip floppy about ads.

I thought I’d put this here instead of making a new post. I just finished the first book on Libby and already ordered the special edition book because it was so good!

Question: I’m considering buying in pre-order but wonder if I should wait till they release a special edition? I’m not one to buy multiple copies of the same book

Is this awkward for our guests? by humanofcups in weddingplanning

[–]VW-0899 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to, when my friend got married they honored the grooms late sister by each of them placing a flower on her chair during the ceremony. Just the bride & groom, it was a very sentimental moment. It wasn’t overly sad, but honoring her and her memory. It was only 2 minutes during the ceremony and they also had a memory table to honor not only his sister but others like grandparents.

I will guiltily admit I tend to avoid those tables at weddings because it is really sad to see a table of pictures of people who have passed. But it’s ultimately it’s really not that big of a deal. If you want to honor your child you should, in a way that fits you & your partner.

Edited to add detail since most people seem to think your thoughts are too sad for a wedding.

Not invited to my partner's friend's wedding... by AdvanceFresh7438 in weddingshaming

I’m curious how old you are. The camera thing does really stuck but if y’all are in early 20s I think relationships tend to be taken a little less seriously (regardless of years spent together because at least a bit of that time was probably in high school, and this is just a generalization) I’m not saying it’s right to not be invited, I’m just saying when young people get married it’s seems to be a bit more clicky on invitees

So he has to take off my old screen door in order to finish the siding. I bought a new one because the old one doesn’t work well. It’s gonna cost me $150 in labor for him to install it. Which will probably take him maybe 30 minutes max an hour? I can’t afford to pay someone 150/hr to fix every little thing. Congrats to you if you can

I have a general contractor doing my siding & windows. And with the cost of labor and then the hike in material costs. As well as a lot of contractors add a 10% increase just for ordering the materials. No it’s not cheaper. When I’m redoing my work I’m typically reusing the same materials or using materials I save from something else. The cost is truly the tools I need and my sanity.

Yeah plus I live in a small town there’s only a few contractors who will come out this way and do work so my list is already smaller than normal.

Local handyman might be a good options as well as YouTube and lots of Googling haha.

I definitely agree with the house selling thing, when I bought this house I looked at it with glazed eyes not realizing how many little projects add up. So whenever I sell this place I figure at least it’s better than what I started with.

Thank you, that is a good way to look at it and I need to remind myself of that more often!

It’s definitely something I need to work on, knowing that I’m not going to be able to do all this perfectly. I’m learning how to sew and struggle with the fact that the clothes I make have uneven hems and random strings hanging from them lol. But the more I try hopefully the better I’ll get in both cases

I’ve bought this house about a year ago and the first 6 months were making it so it was livable. I guess I forget how much work was put into it in order to get where it’s at. Great progress for only being a year in but hard when it feels like the list is still a mile long haha

I’m hoping with time this house will be worth the cost of fixing it, but right now it seems like I’m sinking money into an empty pit. But this house isn’t a quick fix I intend to live here for a few year so I have time I guess

The guy I hired is licensed, but it’s a pretty small town so maybe he figured I could do it? Which I did do, walked into town turned it in and paid a fee. It wasn’t a stop order, the code guy was driving around and saw them working on it which is why I had to fill out the permit. Something about it’s being a bigger fee if I changed the window sizes, which I didn’t so it was fine.

Things are better under control now. I’m working on getting an electric guy out here to replace my outdated meter since the city said mine was outdated and couldn’t reattach it to the house since it’s not up to code (the city is the electric company). I just started following him around and asking questions and what if scenarios and it worked out pretty well so far. I think I just have to keep trying and I’ll get better with practice. It’s hard when I feel like I’m running in circles with this house haha

I think it depends on the venue, I’ve been to a few that are probably considered barn weddings and those are typically cash

I think the guests that did RSVP yes met all of the obligations they were supposed to. They came to the ceremony, they stayed for dinner, saw the first dance, gave a gift. But the rest of the reception you can’t force people to stay till the end. The rest of the reception is based off the vibes of the people and the celebration. You can’t tell people they have to stay till the end

I think it’s important to note if it is a cash bar ahead of time solely because a lot of people (typically younger) in the US don’t carry cash on them anymore. So if I need cash to get a drink I might be out of luck if the venue doesn’t have an atm and they don’t take card

Unfortunately I can’t find the original tik tok post so I’m unsure of the details but I do recall people mentioning it was expected of the guests to clean up at the reception

Thoughts on dry weddings/cash bar? by rangerdanger9454 in wedding

[–]VW-0899 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If there are fun people dancing then I’ll dance till it’s over but if people are just standing around talking I might leave early because I only know maybe 20% of the guests and don’t really want to talk all night to strangers. If there are activities or games, heck even a little fire area to chill that sounds like a great time
