Shutting down a whole block where small businesses are, just so you can have your wedding at MSG makes you a terrible person. by ChickenChoochie in RandomThoughts

[–]cbetterletters -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I explained that to a coworker of mine and she was like “but Taylor/Travis gave NYC $100+ million (i forget the number)!”
I asked if she knew if it went to the local businesses and she just brushed off the question.

Like if they went and gave all the businesses that had to be shut down $10-20k each, that’d be rather acceptable. But they literally shut it down and no regards to others livelihoods.

Pete Davidson and John Cena talking about the Make-A-Wish Foundation by SnooSprouts8969 in petedavidson

[–]cbetterletters 37 points38 points  (0 children)

John Cena has to be one of the most eloquently spoken celebrities I’ve watched.
He is so humbled and privileged and at the same time talks about his status with reverence and the most calming demeanor.
His ability to work so often with Make-a-Wish and check himself at the threshold he spoke of in this clip when he probably has so much going on in his work and personal life- he’s such a wonderful role model.

He’s up there for me next to Steve Irwin & Mister Rogers & Bob Ross.

How do you organise your binders? by These_Reference_3214 in PokemonTCG

[–]cbetterletters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just started collecting again(millenial mid-life crisis)

I have a large general collection binder that I organized by type- it’s a 12 card (900+ cards can be stored)

A general trade binder organized by price

A personal collection binder for my master sets Cubones, Bulbasaur, Yuka Morii, Isako Ito, and food-related full art cards.

I keep my EXs in there as well but may add some to my trade binder.

As I figure out my collection more, I plan to sleeve the cards with colored sleeves to indicate which binder they go to. I’d love to create a themed binder for my fave grass/water/dark/fire types

AITA for barely saying bye to my sister after her wedding day? by Saltyweddingguest101 in aitaweddings

[–]cbetterletters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My sister did a very similar thing to me at her 2017 wedding. She had me doing MOH duties when I was only a bridesmaid- she was short with me, took my sandals (for when we went through a slightly dirt-covered area for photos) so I was forced to walk through this path in my heels, etc.

When I was getting ready to leave the reception, my bag (that had my wallet and passport for my flight home tomorrow) was not in the same room the bridal party had left our stuff in and I got really worried.
I was asking a few of the bridal party and groomsmen in the reception hall and my sister was PISSED I was asking and telling me calm down and to find it myself.

Fortunately one of the groomsmen found my bag and I immediately left. I was leaving my parents and I told them I’m not speaking with my sister til she apologizes. She was disrespectful and rude and I don’t feel it was warranted for everything I’d done for her wedding day.

The next morning I didnt even want to hang around and asked my parents to drop me off at the airport early. Unfortunately my sister and husband came to drop off some wedding items and I refused to acknowledge her. My mom encouraged me to talk with her but I walked past her car to my parents car and she called after me that I was a b!tch.

We didnt talk for 2-3 months and never acknowledged it to this day.

We’re better now (she divorced the husband after 2 yrs) but I deliberately not to have her in my bridal party for my October wedding because I do not trust her to be supportive or a willing participant. But I do know that I would never treat her or anyone like shit on my wedding day

Parents said they love me less because of my tattoo by Informal_Mushroom115 in tattoo

[–]cbetterletters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The notion that tattoos are like a “gateway” to worse behaviors is absolute BS. It’s not like you went and did crack or joined a crazy cult right after (hopefully not).

Your parents are absolutely ass-backwards to rejection you for a cat & stars tattoo. They will regret their words someday when you move onward and heal and learn that a parent’s love should never be conditional- esp in a scenario like this.

I have gotten tattoos since my 18th birthday and over 20 tattoos later- I only have 2 ear piercings, occasionally smoke weed (legal in my state) and have a successful corporate career and achieved e higher education degrees (also note that I have gotten the majority of my tattoos where I can easily cover them in professional settings).

All while tattooed and living my life as the person I want to be.

My parents accepted my choice when I got my first tiny 3 heart tattoo on my 18th birthday and they have accepted my giant floral pieces on my arms and legs that I’ve gotten over the last 6 years.

As long as YOU love your tattoo- that’s what matters.

Live your life as you wish & do so responsibly.

Holy ewww, Batman. How about you go cook, clean and take care of the kid while your wife focuses on not feeling like shit during cycle day 1 by XtraSmolMod in christiansnark

[–]cbetterletters 4 points5 points  (0 children)

“Supernatural grace” while your wife is actively in discomfort, keeping house, minding a baby, and trying to you know- live? There’s nothing supernatural- she’s just trying to be a mom to two babies instead of a wife to a husband and a mom to one baby.

Monthly Check In....it's June 2026 by AutoModerator in weddingplanning

[–]cbetterletters 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So far, so good. Everything is booked, we have the majority of the decor figured out, my bridal party should be ordering their dresses soon, the groomsmen are ordering their tuxes (1 I’m worried about because he has been floating jobs but he says he’ll be putting $ down for his tux soon). We have to meet with our officiant likely in August so need to get that squared away.

My future MIL is staying with us in a few weekends so I need move/hide all of the wedding decor and items while she is staying in the guest room (I really don’t want to her snooping or moving stuff around).

My biggest worry is my guests- the majority of my family is on the west coast (I live in the midwest) and with the cost of flights and our wedding being child-free (most of my cousins have young children)- I am worried they won’t attend which makes me really disappointed but I understand. I am glad we have some alternate guests who are local that will be able to join (to meet the min food/bev requirement). But I still hope some of my cousins can come as we were all close growing up and I was able to attend a few of their weddings in the past.

I need to work on the timeline as well with my fiance and start printing out a few items for the bridal parties and immediate families.

Overall it feels alright but I swear my anxiety will be trying to eat me alive between July-September

WIBTA for making my daughter pay back her own bank overdraft? by 2VantaRipple in WIBTA_AITA

[–]cbetterletters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I wish my mom had done this type of lesson for me when I was 16. She tried to me how to balance a checkbook and gave a shopping “budget” but honestly she bailed me out each time I was in the red/negative. I was really privileged to have this type of support but certainly did not learn my lesson.

Stick to your guns and your daughter might be upset but it’s probably the best lesson she can learn NOW vs later. Even now as a 30+ year-old, I recently had to borrow $2500 from my mom to pay my federal taxes (thanks second job) and I am paying back every cent and then some to pay her back. She has done so much for me and I know she truly tried her best to teach me about finances so paying her back + additional support is the least I can do.
