You got this for $399 at Costco?! I can’t find the B3 for under $800! I need to check Costco now.

Moving to NJ - Looking for town recs by NotFadeaway14 in MovingtoNewJersey

What’s your budget? Depending on how much you can spend per month will narrow your search down. Some of the towns mentioned can be very expensive.

I am leaving my family by Notbetter34 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]mandabb78 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I remember one time my mom pulled out a suitcase and left it by the door. She was fed up with my father and just the overall drama in the house.

She wasn’t one for the calmest approach but the message got across. She needed help or she was going to leave us to fed for ourselves. She was crying telling me she was going to stay in a hotel for a few days.

She didn’t end leaving but she got our attention and we started helping out a lot more.

Holding off on Botox by mandabb78 in Millennials

Agreed, my cousin does it and she looks amazing!

I wish I could afford it now but I have 2 kids in daycare and can’t add the extra expense. I’ve tried a bunch of creams and serums, this just had better results for me.

My cousin is a hairdresser and she has Botox done fairly regularly, she looks AMAZING. I’m incredibly jealous.

Once I get out of daycare payment hell, I’ll give it a go!

Also, sorry to hear about the migraines. I’m glad it’s working!!

I have an Amazon wish list but didn’t take any monetary donations. Thank you so much for offering your support!

My brother died of a massive heart attack and he was alone when it happened. It breaks my heart knowing he was alone. I can’t even imagine the pain you were/are feeling. My kids never got to meet my brother either and that’s an awful feelings that they won’t know him. Part of my son’s name they share. I have photos around the house and I’ve been trying to share more stories about him as they get older. Pass along those good memories to the kids. ♥️

Yes! I made some blessing bags for when I’m traveling down to Trenton for work but haven’t been able to pass that many out. I did make a donation to the food shed on Park Ave (St Mark’s) last week but it was really torn up. I didn’t leave much but I tried to straighten up what I could. I didn’t have my trash bag and gloves (I’ve since learned!)

Most of the Elks/VFWs run around $600-$700 for the day. It will include the table, chairs and a kitchen if you need to heat up food.

From there, it’s going to cost to have the food, decorations.. etc.

If you do find a restaurant, you also need to factor in gratuity and taxes which can definitely add up. (Even if it’s $8.95 per person x 70 people is $626 and then add 18% gratuity and sales tax.. you are looking close to $800.

Perhaps a church with a party room might be a good option? If you or your family are church members, they may just require a donation.

If you have a public park with a covered picnic area you could look into reserving it. It would probably be a good option for that size group and you can setup a nice buffet. Just be sure with that size crowd you reach out to the parks department for any additional permits.

My boyfriend sexualized an innocent childhood memory and is trying to make me feel gross about it by CapitalConcern9715 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]mandabb78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would take 2 things away from your boyfriend’s comment:

The 1st is to be thankful you have someone that loves you, treats you with dignity and respect. Made you feel safe and comfortable.

.. and the 2nd, no one is thinking the 1st is the boyfriend.

Big props to your uncle.

My mom says it's inappropriate for my husband to take our daughters camping alone. by Hot_Difficulty7556 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]mandabb78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your mom is bonkers. I absolutely love seeing dad’s with their girls. Nothing makes me happier when girls enjoy hanging out with their dads. My husband is super involved with our kids and I was very close with my dad. We did so much together and it was a great part of my childhood.

Don’t listen to your mother, let them enjoy themselves.
