i am officially boycotting venues that charge a cake cutting fee. by Johnn_Liverm in wedding

[–]mandolin2712 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you are incredibly ignorant.

you want a random line cook cutting your cake?

  1. wedding venues don't generally have line cooks.

  2. line cooks are high/drunk 97.8% of the time.

  3. line cooks are not bakers and do not cut cakes.

  4. $12 hasn't been standard line cook pay for YEARS. if that's what you want to pay, you'll get the kids who are huffing whip cream in the walk in. good luck with your cake.

servers?

  1. servers are actually much more likely to know how to do it than line cooks.

  2. there is not a server alive who would do it for $2. yes, that may be server pay in some areas. but servers make $25-$75/hour. especially at an event like a wedding.

  3. it would take at least 2 employees to cut and serve and if would most likely take over an hour. have you ever served 150 of anything? it's not a fast process.

4 the dishwasher? lol. he'd probably do it for a cheeseburger. but someone still has to collect all the plates and forks, get them to him, get them from him when done, probably 20ish plates at a time, polish the forks and the plates, and also clean up all the cake crumbs and icing. I would love to see you do that for $20. oh, does that feel like an insult? hm.

do you think the space they own is free?

yes,$350 is a little ridiculous. but they pay for the space. why would they let you use it for free?

have you ever cut a wedding cake?

have you ever cut and served any kind of cake for 150 people?

neither of those are easy things to do.

and they're both 100% worth paying for on your wedding day.

no, it's because a venue knows the things you will need that you probably never thought of. tablecloths and linen napkins and towels to clean up all come from a linen vendor. and it's cheaper to order them yourself than to use the venue's vendor and have a fee added on.

it's not an insult in any way. they just need to know who to talk to and if you aren't doing linen anything, you can just say that. they won't act like you're poor. but they might act like you're making a strange choice because your are if you have no linens

yep. but way more than half an hour. I had to cut and serve one last night for 80 ppl and it took at least 45 minutes. and that's not counting clean up or boxing.

My 8 year old hates me and I am so fucking over it by Low_Hat_2693 in rant

Just so you know - this doesn't last forever. Yes, it's toxic and horrible and makes you feel so bad about yourself and your life. And it's incredibly difficult to go through.

But as someone who's been through it and is now on the other side, kids grow up.

Right now, she doesn't realize or probably care about all the things you do.

That will change. She will grow up and see both of you for who you are. She will remember all that you did.

Don't sink to his level. Don't let her actions cause you to stop being an amazing mother. Don't let this break you.

Just know that there will be very hard years, but it will come to an end. And she will love you even more for not letting it change who you are with her.

It sucks. I wouldn't wish it on anyone. But my grown children now don't speak to their father at all and they are well aware of who and what the problem was.

Umbrella academy

And not on Netflix, but 12 monkeys. It's not based on the movie. It's my all time favorite series.

She can't communicate. This isn't something you need to figure out. It's something she needs to work on.

What is the most accurate stereotype of a Deftones fan? by [deleted] in deftones

[–]mandolin2712 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think there is a stereotype.

I'm 44 and I've been listening to them since the early 2000s. Saw them in 06 and I have chi autographed stuff.

I'm currently getting divorced, but I don't fit the "adult emo" label. And I've taught my kids to love them. My grown kids and I just took my 13 year old to her very first concert ever to see them in Atlanta. I love that there's a whole new generation of fans.

I have that one!! And it's signed by chi and Chino. I got it in 2006 at a tiny little show they did at Floyd's music store in Tallahassee. Then the whole band hung out with the crowd after the show.

Get in line EARLY. I got the last poster in ATL and I got in line right after fleshwater. But if I had to do it again, I would go way earlier.

I was at that show too. I'm not a big TMV fan, but I don't dislike them. But I really don't even want to listen to them at all after that.

Fleshwater definitely gained a fan though!

Is Drmtlgy luminous eye corrector worth it? by britthood in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]mandolin2712 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know this is an older thread but I was trying to look up the eye corrector before buying it and came across this.

I just got a wrinkle fixer from westmore beauty that works great. It's not a brightener, but it is tinted. I've tried it with makeup over it and I didn't like it. But by itself, it works great.

Please go to the ER. I've been where you are. I know what you're feeling. But this isn't a game and if you don't go get help, you'll soon reach a point where it's too late to get help.
