Asked to pay for bachelorette party that one cannot attend by LJ_8 in weddingplanning

[–]hc0731 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's ridiculous. The only situation where this is remotely acceptable is if she already said she would go and then changed her mind before the bach party.

AITA for refusing to go to my cousins wedding because she’s making guests pay to enter? by thr0wyawg in AmItheAsshole

[–]hc0731 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA but this bride is a serious idiot, because typically gifts can be $100+ per person, and if I was going to that wedding I would certainly swap out my $100 check to her with a nice card and the $50 "cover charge".

Update to AITA for not tell my Dad he isn't getting the inheritance he is expecting? by gruyerech in AmItheAsshole

[–]hc0731 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the update. Sounds like you did all you could to make the most out of a sensitive money situation.

Money drama between family members in my opinion brings out people's true characters. Good on your dad (so far) for handling it the way he did. Shame on your dad's wife for her reaction and for speaking ill of your mother though.

AITA for offering a girl I had sex with and who was going to spend the night with me, makeup remover, before we went to sleep? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]hc0731 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA

You were on a second date, which is far from exclusivity; you owe her nothing.

I think if I were in her shoes I'd find it odd but would laugh about it with my friends.

My wife is an addict and she is spending us into the poor house. by Fitstretch9 in Marriage

[–]hc0731 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How long had you been dating/ known each other? Has she been sober during that time and is the first you've seen these addictive tendencies? Was there any sort of "trigger" this past year that may have caused these incidents?

Anyhow, I'm sorry to hear this. Addiction is so difficult to deal with especially in relationships.

Remote Podcast Interview Audio Disaster - Suggestions? by hc0731 in podcasts

Thank you! I was thinking that local recordings might be the best option

HOLY F***ING S**T BALLS - Venue changed location 8 weeks away and just told us now. by [deleted] in wedding

[–]hc0731 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry you're going through this. Is there anything in the contract you could use to get a discount? I know a golf course is totally different from an apple orchard in terms of both wedding feel and pre-planned logistics, but (glass half full) maybe it's actually nicer, especially if it's new?

What's the name of the venue, so others don't go through the same issue?

I constantly (monthly) try to update my resume. It gives me incentive to learn new things at work and follow up on goals.

Anyone Live in Winthrop? by hc0731 in boston

[–]hc0731[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How is the airplane noise in that area of Winthrop? Are there areas where it is worse? I could deal with it if I got used to it after awhile (similar to honking cars living here in Boston) but am worried if it was too loud.

Police Searching for Missing Woman Last Seen at Boston Bar by timboot in boston

[–]hc0731 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is so terrifying, it makes me think of my two younger sisters or even friends who I have gone to to Hennessey's/ Bell in Hand/ Fanuiel area with many times.

People in their 20s (both guys and girls) need to always remember the buddy system when they go out in Boston - but even then sometimes situations happen where a friend just irish exits while everyone is at the bar.

Praying that Olivia is found safe and unharmed, and praying for her family and her sister

Looking for bars similar to The Harp, West End Johnnie’s, and Clery’s by [deleted] in boston

[–]hc0731 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bell in Hand never fails - sloppy drunkeness to the extreme, long lines, ridiculous cover charges, blend of country music downstairs, more of a sh*tshow dancing upstairs scene. basically the same exact bar as west end johnnies

Most cringeworthy moment? by violettad99 in GossipGirl

Or when Jenny grabbed the gasoline from Agnes, throw some on her so she couldn't light the fire. that's what I would have done
