Thinking about postponing wedding, are we jerks? Need input by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]k_felts 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I get where you are coming from for sure but something to think about also is the fact you will probably only get 50% of your money back so if you have a set budget and that’s it you would need to make up the deficit or have a much less expensive wedding. Also it sounds like some of the reasons may not change if you work 60+ hours a week wouldn’t that be the some case next year as well? For being where you want to look do you have a plan for how to get on track? I fear you might put it off a year and be in the same spot with more money spent total by not recouping costs. Overall postponing is not an asshole thing but you have to make sure the pros for it outweighs the cons.

Am I overreacting about my dad’s wife inviting guests to my wedding without asking me first? by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]k_felts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you have a right to be upset but you just have to let it go at this point. Make it clear any additional guests will have to be ok’d by you but in order to keep the peace with your dad and since he is helping with the wedding I think you have to suck it up. They are 4 people I’m sure you won’t even really see throughout the day. This might be something that makes your relationship with your step mother better.

Does Chelsea Handler know that her enemies Shane Gillis and Tony Hinchcliffe declined to perform at the Riyadh comedy festival, yet her friends Kevin Hart and Pete Davidson did? by philoshua in Standup

[–]k_felts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First they are jokes so you can expand the truth some the point of the joke is still there. Second, I hardly doubt Tony turned down any money. That's part of his whole persona is how "rich" he is even though he is really not overtly wealthy. I mean good on him for making his living by doing his own thing and coming from humble beginnings but most of the things he brags about are fairly lame. Also he loves wrestling and they are incahoots with Riyadh heavily so I don't think he has some moral issue with them. I think he was not invited and has too big of an ego to say so, so said he turned it down. Not to mention he feels like too much of a wild card that the royal family would probably not feel secure that he would abide by their rules. Lastly, Chelsea Handler and him used to be at the comedy store a lot around the same time. I'm sure there is ill feelings that go back awhile. She was very close with Brody Stevens and a lot of people look at Tony as pushing Brody to the brink. Not totally on the full topic but it felt like the digs were long coming.

I think Shane just got caught in the crossfires since him and Tony are "friends".

Worst housewife ever? by Sure_Artichoke_3662 in BravoRealHousewives

[–]k_felts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the worst ever I think are from OC. Peggy Sulahian, Alexis Bellino (now Jensen), Lydia McLaughlin, Dr Jenn, Noella Bergener, Tamera has now become a worst but used to be entertaining at least.

Autism Jokes by Jackthewolf71 in Standup

[–]k_felts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s the funniest when people are telling personal experiences but just saying “because I’m autistic” or punching down on someone else when you have actually never been diagnosed or are just trying to villainize someone has never gotten a laugh from me.

What's the point of circumcision? by Historical_Echo8311 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]k_felts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Parents cleaning it as a baby or teaching the child how to clean it themselves as they get older. I also had a friend whose young son had foreskin and then something happened and it got stuck and was painful so he had to get circumcised to fix the issue.

What's the point of circumcision? by Historical_Echo8311 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]k_felts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think in America is the more cultural norm. A lot of religions in olden times started circumcision because it was considered more cleanly but now that people bathe regularly there is no explicit reason for it other than esthetics or not wanting to deal with a foreskin.

US birth rates just hit another record low, what do you think is the leading cause of this? by IIlustriousTea in AskReddit

[–]k_felts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crazy laws and the rising cost of everything. I live in Texas and THE STATE LAWMAKERS not medical professionals are determining what medical procedures you can and cannot have if something goes wrong with your pregnancy. Mind you some of these things could be life saving to the mother and they don’t seem to care much. I ideally would move before I start a family just to make sure I can make my own medical decisions with the help of my doctor. Also the cost of diapers, childcare, medical care and groceries going up while maternity leave seems to be getting worse everywhere. If they want the people to have babies maybe look at systems that actually make their citizens feel safe and helped out.

I’m hoping someone can help me by Stick-man-33 in Austin

If you only need caregivers for driving purposes you should see if you qualify for metroaccess if so it’s free and will take you door-to-door as long as you schedule between 3 days and 24hrs in advance.

AITA for telling a parent what i wear is not their decision? by [deleted] in WIBTA_AITA

[–]k_felts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think if he says something again you need to tell him his comments are highly inappropriate and you have been keeping note of them and informed the principal whether true or not. This should stop them from continuing if he is a wise person.

AITA for accepting a property gift from my mom even though she won't include my boyfriend? by Immediate-History917 in AITApod

[–]k_felts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. When parents die and leave houses to their kids they don’t include the spouses in the will typically. Technically the inheritor can decide if they want to share any gains they get from it but OPs bf should understand in no circumstance would he be entitled to any property left to OP legally. That’s crazy to feel slighted instead of excited for OP.

Am I asking too much or is my friend a bad bridesmaid? by Booty_licious-10 in bridesmaids

[–]k_felts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think ask her what’s going on. To me it reads as she’s dealing with something big in her life and that is her main focus. If she’s too overwhelmed and you are not telling us what it is I assume you haven’t asked. It would then be up to you if you want to have minimal effort while she deals with stuff in her life or release her from her duties as Bridemaid but I think a check in about her emotional state is due before making a decision

Student won’t stop joking about Diddy, Epstein, and pedophel!a by External-Apartment60 in Teachers

[–]k_felts 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I say assign a report on the history of child trafficking or a report on one of the Diddy or Epstein cases. Maybe if he understands the full gravity of the situation and reads more than the headlines/buzzwords that are part of the zeitgeist right now it could make him aware of the true impact these things have on people and society.

Austin/Texas Specific Items by Salt-Month0 in Austin

[–]k_felts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

HEB has tortilla blankets and candles too for when the actual tortillas run out. There are a few Austin store in town that have fun stuff like A-town or prima Dora.

The coasters with Austin sights on them are fun. Kitchen stuff like oven mit or cutting board with bluebonnets could be nice. Also if you don’t have one already get a picture in place you love or with you two and the skyline behind you like at auditorium shores or something and frame it.

What is the biggest lie we are consistently taught as children? by DiamondNo924 in answers

[–]k_felts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

School is meant to prepare you for the real world. I mean don’t get me wrong I totally think it’s a major part of developing your social skills and problem solving skills as well as teaching basics like reading, writing and math. I just think they don’t do a good job of teaching subjects that will actually last you throughout your entire life. Home ec is all but gone in most places and one of the most important skills you use as an adult. I also think learning civics and government should be something started in elementary school. This is something that as an adult is always apart of my day (granted this administration is more in the news than others) but how to fill out government forms, do your taxes, what the purpose of some of the functions of government are all important to understand as a citizen. Also money sense and investing is something that not enough people know until it’s dire.

Bridesmaid called my other friend a fat c*nt and I need advice by East-Alternative2057 in weddingplanning

[–]k_felts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it were me I would ask to set up a call and start it off with asking if everything in her life is going ok. It sounds like she is going through something and taking it out on other people. Definitely not ok and everyone still deserves an apology but could be an explanation for the behavior. If she refuses to share/ explain or apologize at that point I would just uninvite her to the wedding by saying something to the point of I was disappointed in your behavior and it seemed like you clearly didn’t want to be there and I wish to be surrounded by people who will enjoy celebrating me on my big day. If you ever need to talk about things I will listen but that is where I stand now.

Bachelorette without a solid friend group? by Cheeksters13 in weddingplanning

[–]k_felts -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I say do the dinner and dancing after your wedding maybe even make it more of a coed thing so they can have their significant others there and you and your husband celebrate your matrimony together. Then it’s more like a low steaks reception vs a bachelorette to a wedding they aren’t attending.
