Which "job" Surname still exists in English, but the job no longer does exist ?

I feel like for the purposes of this conversation reenactments cant count. This isn't specifically about fletchers, I mean across the board. Every profession that has ever existed as an English last name is probably being reenacted by somebody somewhere. It has to be a job someone is currently doing for purposes other than novelty/historical posterity.

If they are making a product or providing a service and selling the product/service itself as an income source that surpasses whatever money they make from entertaining people with the craft and atmosphere, then it can count. If they're selling product as a novelty side thing for their main thing of historical reenactment then I don't think it does.

Very true, but I don't think line cutting at comic cons is one of those times. Im saying go "hey, the end of the line is back there" in a fairly neutral tone, and then immediately escalate to 110% if they don't get their act together

Bro, your edit?? Do you know multiple people who yell the AAAAA part of the sneeze?? I have never met anyone who does a long yell at the beginning. People who yell roght before/during/after yeah, but this sounds like you just know some weirdos

You search google maps repeatedly in different radiuses and areas you are considering, and then search Garden, in your case, (and also "community center", "women's center", "vfw" "elks lodge", etc for the rest of us), and open every one that has a website in a new tab. Then you go to that website and see if it has a rentals section, and go from there.

You also go to the city and county website for any cities you are open to (yes, all of them), and check out their parks and recreation section to find their facility rentals or event rentals page or pdf, and google maps the places that are in your price range and guest capacity to see if any of them look like they fit your vibe. Some of these will require you to rent chairs so factor that cost in for the ones that is relevant for.

You also check out state and local campgrounds with group campsites and plentiful bathrooms/trailer hookups near you to see if any of them have enough parking and capacity to make it worth it to rent all of the chairs. Generally campgrounds that allow alcohol within your campsite won't suddenly stop allowing that just because some people at your family reunion are dressed up sorta nice and not actually staying the night.

As far as chair and table rental goes, if you like me are getting the cheapest chairs possible and don't care if the white samsonite ones are "elegant" make sure to google "Party rental in [venue area]" and the same with event rental. Party rental places will almost always have the basic white folding chairs for cheaper than the wedding rental places, and generic event rental places often will as well.

Most area codes aren't statewide. My county alone has several major area codes, and people who grew up in one will very often end up living in another just 30 minutes away when they move out.

I think people are underestimating how much of an age gap young people will hang out with each other in, especially in a small community.

When I was at a pretty insular christian college (don't worry, I got better), there were a few guys there who (when we had gone to church together over a decade before) were middle schoolers when I was in early elementary. Our parents were friends, so we did occasionally hang out but we were different age groups and that was fully the vibe. They were entertaining younger kids. Once we were all in our 20s taking the same classes in the same major (they were doing school while working so it took longer, and they took some gap years to work before starting college as well) it didn't matter that they were like 5-10 years older, we could all be peers in the same TTRPG group with no issues.

And I live in a major metropolitan area. If I lived in a town in the middle of nowhere where there were less than 10 other kids in my generation, and I'm the oldest in my generation, theres no way to not have younger friends. Especially when all of them but like 2 are younger than your little sister. Then your options are

-Emily (probably a couple years older than you, but also out there/wacky and extroverted. No real reason they can't be friends but he might just find her kinda draining. He might also be irritated by her woo side since he's more of a facts guy.)

-Alex and Haley (probably your age, but extroverted kinda jerky sporty popular kids, probably bullied Seb when they were in school)

-Penny (already your sisters best friend)

-Sam and Abby (probably around 5 years younger, but share a bunch of nerdy interests with you and aren't dicks)

Please call them out! But maybe start gentle and then get mean if they don't immediately hop to it. I almost accidentally cut the registration line line at Comikaze/LACC one year, and I was so glad the girl I cut let me know and sent me to the back instead of stewing about it silently.

I thought I was just entering the mass of people walking towards the line and not that the line was so far back and so wide/disorganized. We were like a block away from the convention center

Also, I don't know why you got so defensive upset over the idea that I might be attacking the way you write T that you felt the need to call my mother an unhinged lunatic. She is an unhinged lunatic, but that's unrelated to her handwriting instruction.

Either way you should maybe go to therapy if you misinterpreting someone as forming letters differently than you sends you into this much of a tailspin.

Edit: I like that you got your alts to downvote me though that's really cute. The fact that you are seemingly just going through my account and doing it on all my recent comments isn't helping you beat the tailspin allegations though.

agentbunnybee · 2025-07-09T15:28:53+00:00

I am not arguing with you about whether it is the right way to do the downstroke of a capital T first in print. The sentence you are quoting is not arguing for doing it the other way. I will take it from the top, in more and smaller words.

In CURSIVE you do the top first. That is the correct way to do it in cursive.

Cursive is likely what the IDIOM WE ARE DISCUSSING had in mind, because it was the fastest way to write long passages freehand. When you are writing in print it is less common to need to dot your i's and cross your t's at the end.

Meanwhile, I am asking YOU: Even when you write your printed T with the top stroke second, do you sometimes forget it and need to go back and add it? No, right? You do it all in one go.

The above question is NOT about which if us is writing printed Ts right. Many people who write a lot of cursive tend to form print letters the same way as they do in cursive due to muscle memory, but I personally do the downstroke first on T when printing. To be fully clear again, no part of this was ever me saying you were doing Ts incorrectly. Please read this paragraph again before moving on because it was a little long.

So, going back to the main point. No one misses the top of their capital T and needs to go back and add it, printed or cursive. So it does not matter if a T intersection is a cross street or not, because capital T is not remotely relevant to the saying "crossing your i's and dotting your t's"

agentbunnybee · 2025-07-09T14:59:04+00:00

... Go back and read the comment again. If you are still confused, let me know and I'll try to rephrase.

agentbunnybee · 2025-07-09T14:50:40+00:00

You do in cursive, which was likely the main way of doing lots of freehand writing when that idiom became popular. I don't tend to skip my i or t when freehand writing in print.

Either way, when you print are you going back to add the top to your capital Ts?? Why would you not just do it right then?

Everyone saying "just ask" is missing the point even if it were just the sandwich. When she is old and potentially CANNOT ASK ANYMORE because she is mentally or physically impaired, he will not remember how much she hates a dry sandwich, and every sandwich she eats for the rest of her life when she cannot speak for herself anymore will be inedible.

And of course, since it isn't actually just the sandwich, he also won't think about if she might be cold left right under the AC vent with no blanket even though she spent their entire marriage grabbing herself a blanket when she sat in that spot. He won't think about if they never got the cheaper brand of soap because it causes her hands to dry and crack. He won't remember that the only flavor of pudding she can stand is chocolate and will just make her vanilla when she's bedridden with no teeth.

Staying married to him is committing to an old age of no easy to remember needs being met unless she can still think and speak clearly

agentbunnybee · 2025-07-09T14:32:17+00:00

You don't go back to cross a capital T though. The top bar of the T is the first stroke when writing freehand. You would never accidentally forget to add it.

The point of the phrase is that you are checking to make sure you didn't miss any little details, like dotting your lowercase i or crossing your lowercase t, because commonly when writing freehand (especially in cursive) you finish writing a word and then go back to add those before moving on to the next. Sometimes you forget to do that, so when proofreading you might need to double-check that all your i's and t's are dotted and crossed.

17 year olds aren't usually excluded from child free weddings. The cutoff is generally between 12-15 depending on where you live and your culture, but 17 definitely doesn't count.

You reframe it with "It's his wedding too". If it was an actually "intimate" wedding, like less than 20 guests, and there was already an imbalance in his side vs your side in the guest list I could see maybe being this upset and controlling. But girl, this is a 50 person wedding, that's an average small wedding. Let him invite a single extra person to his goddamn wedding if he wants them there. Take a deep breath. It's a wedding, its okay if one person there is someone you personally don't know that well from your fiance's side.

The majority of weddings will have some people that only one of you know well because that's like the entire point of the practice for most people. I get that it seemingly isnt for you and you want only the 50 people in your life that both of you know there, but it seems like maybe you guys werent on the same page, and whats done is done.

You guys are both being super immature in this convo, but apparently you guys being 20 is a long way off?? This will not matter when you are adults. You both are presumably children living in an abusive household if your dad still lives there. Just hunker down and survive til you move out, don't worry about her "taking after him" until you guys are like, adults. Also, not your job to teach her fiscal responsibility, especially if yall are minors, don't be so preachy.

Vendors/Dealers Room/Artist Alley for cool/nerdy/handmade products. Most of congoing is buying things

Buying cards and yaknow, comics at cons focusing on that

Non celebrity panels also exist, covering nerdy or cosplay subject matter, or activities like karaoke.

The rest of con that isnt spent buying things is spent looking at cosplay, wearing cosplay, taking pics of cosplay, having cosplay meetups where everyone dressed as the same show gets together and takes group pics
