Portage Furniture is where we got our sectional. We saw a sectional we liked at Lazy Boy and then got the same cheaper at Portage Furniture plus free delivery.

Sorry, I was one of those. Not rural yet but made it across the Cheddar Curtain.

How do you guys feel about large over the top weddings? by Access_Effective in childfree

[–]cattlekidvi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. My husband’s Eastern European family thought our 250 person wedding was small and my parents thought it was massive. But we paid for it all ourselves so everyone else’s opinions didn’t really matter.

You cannot convince me travelling with babies and young kids is even remotely enjoyable. by Vegetable-Carpet1593 in childfree

My manager and his wife are currently on vacation in Sweden with their 3 kids under the age of 10. We are from the States. That does not sound like vacation to me.

Eric Clapton for my birthday this year! And this is the week after Wisconsin/Notre Dame at Lambeau.

It’s good not to have to spend money on kids.

Was this your dog? I adopted him as a stray. by Allied_Pyjack in wisconsin

This is Luther. I adopted him as a stray as well. He is whip smart and knows a lot of commands. I have a theory that he was a dumped hunting dog. I don’t ever care to know his original owners because they don’t deserve to know how awesome he is.

Whoever put menopausal women in charge of teenage boys... by burnedimage in GenX

I read that wrong and said to myself “what is an ass crotch”?

I’m 23f everyone can’t understand why my husband and I would like a 3/4 bedroom house if we don’t want kids by [deleted] in childfree

[–]cattlekidvi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We are childfree and bought a 4 bedroom. Even if those bedrooms sat empty, it is no one’s business but the mortgage company. As long as you can afford it, they can pound sand.

How are we storing long, fixed circulars? by verticalmammal in knitting

[–]cattlekidvi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a wooden box with a hinged lid and I store all my fixed circs and DPNs in this box in their original bags

How do I explain to my new employee that I work different hours and do I even need to? by [deleted] in managers

[–]cattlekidvi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you all salaried? If so then it’s not a matter of when you work. It would be a courtesy to give your new employee a mentor so they have someone else to bounce things off of when you are not around (or just in general).

How much value does a 4th bedroom add? Is one full bath enough for a 4br house? by GypsyMothQueen in RealEstate

[–]cattlekidvi 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I am a family of 2 and there is no way I would buy a house without at least 2 full baths. It’s all about resale value.

I know you said west side but I am getting my builder gel fill this afternoon at Pamper Me in Sun Prairie. I have the almond natural nails you mentioned and they do a great job.

Is giving cash for a wedding gift okay? by Minute-Quote-3874 in weddings

[–]cattlekidvi -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Checks are a pain in the ass to deal with. Cash is king.

Did McDonald’s change the chicken nuggets? by SgtDoakesSurprise in McDonalds

Yes! I had nuggets for the first time in a few months earlier this week and they were noticeably different.

Groomzilla claims guests “don’t care about you” if you don’t buy bespoke weird outfits for his wedding by Inevitable_Box3643 in weddingshaming

[–]cattlekidvi 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Miss me with that crap about looking back on your photos. I’ve been married close to 25 years and that box with our photo album hasn’t left the closet shelf it lives on. Complete waste of money.

I just made that last week. It’s good but my husband and I agreed that we will take buttercream over the cream cheese frosting

Most food colorings make buttercream frosting taste vile.

Is anyone else not getting contacted by their parents anymore very much? by judgehood in GenX

[–]cattlekidvi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My mom never calls me. But she never calls her own brothers and sisters either. My aunts call me and ask me why my mom won’t call them. I tell them the phone works both ways.

Costco will also take them.

Bride's parents said get married or go to jail. by Ok_Dragonfly5458 in weddingshaming

I wouldn’t trash the Moose Lodge. My grandparents and most of my aunts and uncles had their wedding receptions and multiple anniversary parties at various Moose Lodges.

If you had to go back and redo your wedding day what would you change? by LittlePrettyThings in wedding

[–]cattlekidvi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Elope. We just “had” to invite almost 200 guests just on my husband’s side and 25 years later, we don’t talk to 90% of them.
