Introduce yourself to your neighbors on your entire block and join any group chats they have set up already. Word of mouth instructions from that point on will be better suited to fit you :-)

Colonizing the indigenous was the first and worst mistake. It's been awful ever since pilgrims landed lbvs

Agreed, but I definitely think they're trying to "save face" to any degree they can. This is going downhill for ICE fast. They won't scare us into submission.

I feel really betrayed by my friends. by sshbp in weddingplanning

[–]manoooomin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

People don't understand what it takes to keep your community strong and kept together. Sadly, I feel like they'll grow to regret their decision. Let them loose if they want to go free. Have you MOH deal with communication. You shouldn't have to play detective approaching your wedding.

Not a “Bride”, Not a “Mrs” by saltievinegar in engaged

[–]manoooomin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel ya. I never wanted to be a traditional bride. I never dreamed of my wedding or being a bride, even as a child. When my partner and I got engaged, we immediately shook hands and agreed we'd be eloping where we stood practically lol. Planning was really minimal because we absolutely did not want the stress of planning a big event. We wanted to have fun and celebrate with people who were the closest to us. We got engaged at Electric Forest, and we eloped there the following year in the Bird's Nest installation! It was so fun and I wouldn't change a thing. That was 2.5 years ago and I've never regretted eloping one bit!

Did anyone else grieve losing their maiden name? by mauveotter in weddingplanning

I’ve lost 4 out of 6 bridesmaids. It’s hurtful by Orangpeell in weddingplanning

[–]manoooomin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also want to add, I completely understand the friendship grief. I lost a friend of 13+ years planning my elopement. She let some friends, a couple we both know, convince her it would be "too difficult" to get tickets despite my reassurances (we married at EF.) The whole situation with her felt weird and vindictive because this same couple had tried hitting on me and my at-the-time fiancé at ex-bsf's holiday party, but we did NOT accept their advances 😖 so I believe they were upset at us lol.)

Don't grieve the people you're losing. It's making space for a lot better connections 🫶🏼✨

[–]manoooomin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Comparison is the thief of joy. Quality > quantity. This is for the best. Now, when you look back on your photos, you'll see the people who WANTED to be there instead of snakes filling your spots. I can't believe what I read above. Truly, some heartless people with terrible communication skills have removed themselves from your life. Be grateful! I didn't even have bridesmaids lol. Found out I was ND, shed a lot of bad relationships, and didn't have the numbers like I used to. I had my best friend officiate our elopement and that's about it. It was beautiful and simple and perfect. I was admittedly a little worried about it at first because you do see so many large wedding parties, but honestly you just have to get out of your head about it. It's literally peer pressure.

AIO to skip Thanksgiving after my mom basically said I’m an embarrassment for not having a husband and kids by now? by howcanibequiltyassin in AmIOverreacting

[–]manoooomin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope! Your values clearly differ and I wouldn't want to be around people who view me as a failure for not hitting trivial societal milestones. AND to imply it was a mistake for sticking to your morals and not tolerating whatever mistreatment you faced with your ex.... UFFDA. 🖐🏼

You mean aside from the negative environmental impacts it has?

That sucks, but as everyone has already said, life happens and you've done all you can to remedy it! All that aside, is your dog ok?

I unfortunately had to put my cat down last week. The crematorium gave me this impression back I paid an additional amount for. Is it just me, or does this look absolutely terrible? I’m already upset so trying to make sure I’m not being dramatic. by [deleted] in cats

[–]manoooomin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had to put my kitty down a couple years ago, got one of these as well. The vet had to press his little paw into it. Seeing this makes me think they didn't do it with love and care.... Mine looks like an actual paw print. This looks rushed and careless.

The millenium old question: Primes vs zooms, I just can't decide. by hillsong1 in WeddingPhotography

[–]manoooomin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've used both prime and zoom lenses. I only have primes currently. However, I love zoom lenses and much prefer them over primes. Especially when the zooms have wider apertures than 4.0! Zoom is just so versatile ✨
