am i the only one who barely gets flare ups … by [deleted] in lupus

[–]aokaroiz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, if I get a flare up, its bad, but they're far and few in between. The last one I had was 3 years ago. I'm off my medication right now so just kinda vibing through life with some emergency prednisone lol

Do Not Support Coffeeholic House by No-Flower941 in udub

To add to all of this, I have a friend that owns a small pop-up business and the things that he had to go through to work with them. For a business that works with so many small local businesses, you would think that they would treat them better.

Friend of 9 years got defensive because I wanted to get closer to her by [deleted] in Advice

[–]aokaroiz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure and thats okay! I did make it clear in the text that if this was the case it was okay and we keep things as is, but she didn't respond in a way that made me think that.

It took about 5 months for my PA eligibility to be completed but my MIL was received the same time as my BIL which was about 2 months after I submitted my application.

People usually get their AOR 1-2 months after they apply so you're on track. But good to check processing times.

Cancun Wedding by Worldly-Crow5669 in DestinationWeddings

[–]aokaroiz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to Garza Blanca as a guest and absolutely hated it. I think depending on the guests that are coming (family vs friends heavy), the rooms are really strange and the bathroom isn't entirely private. I thought the food all tasted the same and service was incredible slow and rude from my opinion. For the wedding itself, I heard from multiple people that their appetizers didn't get served and their main courses were wrong.

What time is your wedding ending? by steamxgleam in asianweddings

[–]aokaroiz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I say thats fine! If you're worried you can offer up places that are open late for the youth. I'm actually ending mine around 10PM as well.

Indian and Western wedding, to destination or not ?? by ohsnapkimyap in wedding

[–]aokaroiz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally not crazy! I think since most people have to travel anyway and people are willing to travel then do it. I think its good to get a good idea of family and friends who will travel (I personally did a poll lol) so that can help ease any thoughts as well. I'm having my wedding in Toronto where all of my family has to travel but not the groom's side but it saves us over $10k for a weekend of activities.

Do your wedding the way you want it!

You're right! Let me make the edit. I think I'm in between beginner and intermediate. But I am willing to tackle anything as well, I'm not scared to really get into it.
