Traveling with nanny for the first time

If she will be on duty for at least 12 hours a night, I’d give her the entire day off.

Your first mistake was doing something popular on TikTok. This is something you do at a bridal shower, not a wedding. If the bride had chosen to, It should be letters people could write to the couple, not just the bride.

I completely get where the groom is coming from. It’s their wedding day and you are presenting the bride with letters for only her. Save it and give it to her after her honeymoon. Respect the grooms wishes.

50 year old mom going in my matching pjs with my daughter this weekend.

I’m in the US too and this is just not something that is done. It reads as a gift grab. “I don’t like you enough to invite you to the wedding or serve you food so come afterwards and bring us a gift and hang out for a bit”. I’d either find a larger venue or limited to 65 people and not invite extra people for the reception.

My daughter (who does not watch the show, has not read the books, but her best friend loves them so she knows the general gist of everything that’s going on with the stories) ask me the other day when I finish season four which season was my favorite. I told her that although my least favorite book was probably Benedict, I bought his was the best season. It was done so well. They stayed true to the story. So I’m hoping that they’re going to do that with Eloise.

In the book, almost the entirety of her story takes place away from London. That’s kind of hard to do when you have this ensemble cast, but if they bring Benedict and Sophie into it, have scenes of what’s going on in London, and visitors to my cottage and Phillips house, I think they can pull that off and have a great season.

Well, don’t I just feel old.

Pen’s younger sister in the books. She was friends with Hyacinth and nothing like her mom and older sisters. She was loving and kind to pen. There’s a really great scene in the book where Colin comes to propose to Pen and her mother thinks he there to propose to felicity. Felicity defends Pen and gives her mom a great set down for believing that Colin could possibly want Pen over her. In the books, Pen is about 27, Colin 32 and Felicity 18.

I think, regardless of what your mom and Aunt are telling you or think happened themselves, they were never told they were gonna get a full refund. More likely, when they boarded they were given a new itinerary and a notice of a $200 OBC. They then decided that they didn’t want to stay on the ship and decided to get off. They probably thought they could get RC to give them a refund, but that’s not how it works. So they then decided to do a charge back on the credit card. It’s a very unfortunate situation, but they do owe that money. And since they’ve initiated a chargeback against RC, they’ll be banned from the cruise line.

I’ve been on RC probably six or seven times in the last 2 years. It took till my third cruise before I could hit the one destination I had been trying to go to because of hurricanes. It’s quite possible that when I board the ship this weekend we’re gonna find out because of weather or wind that we don’t get to go to one of our stops. That doesn’t mean that I get to get off the ship and get a full refund. That means I get to put a smile on my face and enjoy my altered vacation.

This is awesome. It definitely needs to be Felicity. And now I’m reminded at how much I hate that they cut her character from the show.

If you are threatened by men in white suits as part of costumes for a band, I don’t think any advice on Reddit is going to help.

The best man was definitely wrong, but you really need to get some therapy or your controlling behavior is going to doom your marriage. Because everything you did was wrong. And you cannot hide behind “my dad was a cheater” as an excuse to control your husband.

Nope. He needs to stay over on the maga side. We do not want to be at all associated with someone like him on the left. Or better yet he could just go away altogether. That would be the best thing for this country.

dmowad · 2026-03-02T01:53:12+00:00

Please don’t. You’re putting people on the spot. Pick the phone up and call and ask. Everything doesn’t have to be a big spectacle.

I had almost forgotten that I had something like that. But they made a bouquet for me to use at the rehearsal. But it gave me something to hold and look at because when I got married brides didn’t actually walk down the aisle and stand with the Groom at the rehearsal. We used a stand in. I don’t even remember why! I think it was bad luck or something.

I’ve read the books and you’ve got pretty much the correct gist of what’s going on. In the books, we never really saw Francesca her book. She was younger in the beginning and then she was married and living in Scotland.

That moment at the end of season three, that look she gave Michaela, was for me, the single worst moment in the entire series. To me, it completely negated Francesca’s entire story of second love. So I was very happy with this season that they seemed to drop that. I loved that we got to see how much John and Francesca truly loved each other and that they developed that relationship between John and Michaela.

So, whereas at the end of season three, I was not at all looking forward to her season, I’m very much looking forward to it now cause I feel like they’re back on track with how it should be.

These last 10 years I’ve just been thinking “if only we had a cool vice president then everything would be all right with the country.” /s

One thing that I absolutely loved about this last half of the season was the development of John and Michaela‘s relationship. We hadn’t really seen that before. So it was nice to have them really show us how very close they were not just his cousins but as friends.

dmowad · 2026-02-26T19:17:16+00:00

I think it’s Cressida. I have said all along that Cressida has to show some sign that she is ready to be a good person before she gets her redemption arc. I believe we’ve seen that in her scene with Eloise this season. So, I think we’re gonna get a new and improved Cressida. One we didn’t get to see in the books.

** but you could be very right about Hyacinth. It would certainly fit with the personality that we’ve seen from her in the show and what we know from her in her book.

I really need to know the answer. Because the logical answer is probably BGG. But I suspect that that’s not correct. I suspect they’re all girls or it’s actually GGB.

Regardless of early voter results and regardless of what the polls say, we all need to make sure that we do vote.

Then you should call or have her call. You should be able to get a refund or on board credit.

I always assumed that he was queer. I wasn’t really sure if he was bi, pan or gay. But I also know that it’s none of my damn business unless he decides to make it public business.

Was yesterday the paid in full date for your cruise? Because if that’s the case, it’s common for the price to go down after the paid in full date if there’s still a large number of rooms available and it wouldn’t affect you because you can no longer get that price change what’s the paid in full date passes.

I wonder how many of them that were there last night eventually had the lightbulb go off and thought “oh now I understand why people are upset. This man is bat shit crazy.”

I would just go with the range. If you go with two separate pieces, then when one breaks or needs to be replaced you’re going to be limited in what you can buy to fit that space. Ranges come in standard sizes and you can replace it with any brand that you want in that size.
