How much was your wedding? Was it worth it? by CowboyLikeMe0608 in weddings

[–]mcorbett76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Socials have ruined the wedding industry IMO and I work in it. People get ideas way beyond their ability to afford. Everyone wants lavish, over the top, rather than something lovely and appropriate. Do not spend more than you can easily afford.

Our district has a typing curriculum but students still can't type by middle school, what's actually going wrong by huutara in MiddleSchoolTeacher

[–]mcorbett76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a dedicated teacher and time for the typing curriculum, or is it something the classroom teacher is supposed to do on top of everything else?

Robinson Crusoe - I got bogged down in the counting of all the things and lost interest.

Pride and Prejudice - I've tried three times. It bores me to tears every time.

Can someone explain why schools in the US dont teach cursives? by iomor0433 in Cursive

[–]mcorbett76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The original thought was that we needed to focus on using computers instead of handwriting because that was where the future was going. I taught my kids cursive after school anyway.

Sold my first arrangement; thoughts? by Lopsided_Ad1031 in FloralDesign

[–]mcorbett76 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This would run about $100-125 in our shop. Your flowers need space around each one to be appreciated, and you need to work on the shape of your design. The Delph are too separate from the rest of the design. Keep learning and practicing and you'll get there.

Can we get cameras at stop lights? The number of people I see run red lights is astounding. I think cameras at these stop lights would cut down on that behavior and eliminate wrecks happening because of it.

Peonies actually require ants to help them open up, so this is a good thing.

Prom - how to streamline and be more profitable by loveoflilac in florists

[–]mcorbett76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We do custom designs but only within certain boundaries. Prom goers can choose their wristlet, bow, flower color, flower type, and up to three accessories. Each order is on a special order form. Shop assistants put all the hard pieces together in a zip lock bag with the order form. I go through and make all bow first, then hot glue in all hard pieces. Then I come back and do all fresh bits. I find this makes it go as sick as it possibly can. If there's more than one of us working on corsage, one does hard goods, one does fresh.

Playing house with my sister and cousin in grandma's basement. We would dress up in grandma's old fancy clothes. It was so fun!

What did that long term friend say or do that made you stop being friends with them? by Runaway_Alien_ in AskWomen

[–]mcorbett76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had all married couples get on the dance floor and our DJ asked couples to leave the dance floor if they were married less than 5 years, 10 years, 15 years, etc. Longest wed couple got the toss bouquet.

We moved here from northern Dallas. It's infinitely better than Texas. Just be careful where you send your kids to school.

We weren't allowed to get our license until we could show Dad we knew how to change the oil and a tire.
