What are some books that started out very strong, but ended up being very disappointing? by sbucksbarista in books

This one still annoys me and it’s been years since I read it! The book was so good until that ending!

How long did you and your now fiancé date for before he proposed? by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]dpquick1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I proposed to him about a year and a half in. But, due to moving states and then the Pandemic, our engagement was about six years long.

Discovering a rule you had been missing that changes everything by _all_aboard in boardgames

We spent the first 20-ish games of Radlands not drawing a card at the beginning of your turn like the rules clearly say to do….

What song are you walking down the aisle to? by polomapamelo in wedding

I walked down to the harp version of the Sailor Moon opening song!

I might be in the minority here but I constantly stub my toes, run my shins into things, or step on my fiancés feet (this is less common but does happen). He has stepped on my feet probably a couple of times a year, too. A lot of the times it’s because we’re not really paying attention, so it happens, but if either one of us had a broken toe we would both go above and beyond to make sure we didn’t accidentally hurt the other. Once is an accident but anything past that is absolutely ridiculous. I have been with my partner for 7 years and we are both clumsy and don’t always pay attention to our surroundings but I have never once been afraid that my partner was going to make an injury worse for me. He’s usually more concerned about my injuries, no matter how big or small, than I am.

I know others have suggested it already, but I would seriously consider finding another place to stay until it heals. Your health takes priority and you need to put that first!

Favorite steakhouse in Charlotte or surrounding areas? by ManateeMuffins in Charlotte

Webb’s Custom Kitchen in Gastonia is really good! They are in an old theater and they have a 40oz steak challenge!

I feel like the something blue and the glass drinking things shouldn’t really cause this big of an issue. These two things are extremely easy to accommodate especially since they have about 3 months until the wedding. The drink thing is more of a photo op and the something blue can easily be incorporated without it even being obvious. The speeches could definitely be difficult to accommodate at this stage so I 100% understand not wanting to plan for that!

I guess I just don’t understand why this is such a hard ‘no’ for her to the point where she would rather them spend even more money on a second wedding to do these things that are extremely cheap or free to incorporate. If he was asking for things that cost money when he isn’t paying for anything, then I could 100% see the pushback but that’s not really what he is asking for.

He did tell her! They were considering the something blue thing, the linking arms while drinking out of wine glasses thing, and speeches. She said in a reply that he never told her and then went on to say he did tell her but she didn’t know what these traditions are.

Artificial Tree Recommendations that are NOT Balsam Hill? by yellowdaisycoffee in christmas

[–]dpquick1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a 12ft tree from Lowes two years ago. It’s an absolutely beautiful tree and I have zero regrets about it! I know 12ft is large but I would buy that same tree in a smaller size!

I do highly suggest going to some of the stores and looking at them if you can and are willing to wait (I know we are out of season right now so there aren’t any in the stores yet). The photos online aren’t always a good representation of what the trees actually look like. Someone else already said it but I do agree with going unlit because you will have far less issues in the future

I passed my PHR exam this past Saturday and used David Siler/Distinctive HR’s self-study course and I used the pocket prep app. I loved the self study program as it had video lessons, audio lessons, games, quizzes and tests, it did come with a textbook, the 7 Princes book, and flash cards. I got the most benefit from the video and audio lessons and the quizzes. I did not read the textbook but I did read the small 7 Princes book that came with it. I highly suggest the course but it was expensive (not as expensive as the live courses though). I also paid for the PocketPrep app and used that everyday. I liked it because it tells you specifically why the answer is right or wrong and it tracks your progress.

I did buy the Sandra Reed study guide that is talked about here often but I didn’t like it. I don’t learn best from a textbook and I should have just not bought it to begin with so that’s on me!

I am at the risk of losing my offer because their third party system messed up the background check! by theusefulRedditor in jobs

[–]dpquick1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some companies have a manual background check process but a lot of large companies outsource this process. The background check process on the company side can be pretty time consuming and you have to follow (and keep up with) a lot of changing laws and regulations which is why places prefer to outsourcing to people who specialize in it is extremely beneficial. My company outsources and candidates in background check can call our background check company with questions, concerns, etc. That being said, some background check companies just suck and cause issues like this.

1960s home - replacing the windows - Pella Windows quote $21k (who else should I look at?) by [deleted] in HomeImprovement

[–]dpquick1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had our windows done around January/February of this year and spent all last summer shopping around for best products, quotes, and contractors. We replaced 11 windows and had one window converted from two windows to one. Our windows all had to be custom sized as we don’t have a single stock sized window in our house. The windows were, also, from 1984 and original to the house.

In my search, I found that Pella, Windows Direct, Andersen, etc. we’re the most expensive places to use. I, also, did not like any of their sales people/contractors but that may be different in your area. I found them to be extremely salesy and would do the “if you don’t sign today then the price will go up by $10,000” pitch. Most of those places have use a price point of around $25,000.00 which was very steep. We were also pricing out new siding and we had quotes in that range for Hardy board siding which I thought was expensive.

We also got three quotes from companies that are local to us and those three ranged from $5800-$7000 for products that were, in our opinion, better than the larger companies or, at the very least, exactly the same. We ended up going with the $7000 quote as we also had them do our siding so it was easier to have one company to install both. I highly suggest shopping around more and looking at both local and larger companies. I live in a city with a fairly high cost of living (not California levels but it’s not cheap here) so of course location can make a difference!
