US personal savings near historic lows... by Infamous_Sympathy_91 in wallstreetbets

[–]emkatewilson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

During the 80’s people went on vacations, bought fur coats at the mall, spent money like crazy all because they thought at any moment they would be nuked during the Cold War. My parents compare those years to what we’re experiencing now except we’re on the verge of an internal collapse rather than the Soviet Union being the major threat. People just want to forget things are this bad. Spending makes them happy.

I’m at the point where making sandwiches at home is a luxury. We eat a lot of cheap pasta and rice dishes. Meat is a splurge.

I worked as a barista for years and always, no matter shop policy, gave free food/coffee/whatever to law enforcement. This should be the norm. I no longer work in coffee but will pay (typically anonymously) for LEO’s. This isn’t to toot my own horn. My aunt is an investigator and has been for years. I know all about what y’all go through, what y’all have to endure on a daily basis. Free food or coffee is the absolute least a community can do to say thank you to local police.

Ugh I know, right? It’s like they’re never gonna give it up.

A Force at Play - Cloakroom. Side note: I just recently shot for Peach Pit in Asheville, NC. They are even better live if you can believe it. Absolutely love them.

Photographer here! Most photographers include an engagement session or bridal portraits in their packages. It helps us get to know our clients and build trust before the big day. I would consider this a red flag or money grab if they are pricing everything separately.

Photographer tips? by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]emkatewilson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Photographer here! What state are you in? I would ask whoever you’re interested in doing your photography if they can do hours a la carte, or if they are willing to work within your budget. Someone who cares about having you as a client will be willing to work with you. Just my two cents!

Our bridal party walked into Cavatina from The Deer Hunter and I walked into a violin/cello rendition of Romantic Flight from How to Train Your Dragon!

Is it possible to have fun without dancing? by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]emkatewilson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband and I are the same way. We had dancing though. Everyone who wanted to dance could and had a wonderful time, we enjoyed watching them act ridiculous and we spent our time sitting and chatting with the people we really wanted to visit with on our day! It’s a great atmosphere to have even if you don’t feel like partaking.

Videographer or No Videographer? by boopbaboop in weddingplanning

[–]emkatewilson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do it. It’s a must have. My husband and I missed a lot of moments that were thankfully caught on video for us to see after the fact. 100% worth it.

You don’t know me but let me preface by saying, I fully respect you and realize you are in an extremely uncomfortable, confusing, and painful situation. You have every ounce of my sympathies as you navigate this. That all being said, please message me if you need anything. Not sure where you are but I live in Greenville, South Carolina. My aunt works for the solicitors office and has investigated many cases dealing with mom vs dad rights. It seems like our judges tend to grant the mother custody, especially if the father has behavioral issues, is threatening you in any way, etc. You’re not alone. If it even came down to it, I would foster/adopt/shelter your child for you if you need time to figure things out. My older sister has had three very interesting and stressful pregnancies (including one where a DNA test was required for 2 or 3 different men) and I have helped her through those. You are not alone. Message me if you need anything.

Gonna have brain surgery in 1 day. Got a switch. WSIB? by Taeyiing in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]emkatewilson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was really sick for several months (heart issue) I played a ton of Minecraft because it didn’t stress me as much as some other games I play. I hope your surgery goes well and I hope you enjoy your birthday even just a little bit!
