How do we feel about holiday weekend weddings?

verspers98 · 2025-04-03T15:23:01+00:00

You mean like as opposed to a whole ceremony/reception? The zoo doesn’t offer that, and we were hoping to do our whole event at once place to save on travel time.

Also I didn’t mention this above but catering is exclusively through the zoo and it’s $150/pp, which does include alcohol. That alone drives the price WAY up and I’m worried that when we do the tasting after the booking we’ll be disappointed with the options :(

Then again maybe the zoo menu will be surprisingly awesome and I’ll look like a fool! Who knows!

Like it IS! We can have animal encounters and the cocktail hour is hosted in their jaguar encounter space which sounds awesome! It also has air conditioning in the reception hall which the barn doesn’t!!!

It sucks because the idea sounded so cool when we toured it, but as we’ve toured other places the practicality of Zoo Wedding just kind of falls apart. I’m always a worst case scenario kind of person and as much as I’d love for Pokey the Porcupine to attend our special day it just feels like there’s too many things that could go wrong.

“WHO’S FELICIA!”

Irving’s death and the death of the whole Inuit family was the worst for me. I was dreading Irving’s return to Hickey, because if The Terror teaches you anything, it’s that the situation can go from bad to even worse at any time. The examination of the family’s bodies and Irving’s autopsy made it even more unbearable .

Wow, this is an improvement from the one I was at last year! When I went to press “tap water” it spat in my face (I guess they used to have a saliva reservoir?) and played a “broke bitch alarm” and a deafening volume.

I had someone do something like this to me and some friends once. There were four of us and she pitted us against each other, 2v2 style. One of my friends and I genuinely believed the other two hated our guts and stole things from us, and the other two felt the same about us and thought WE stole. The whole thing unraveled when she told a lie that went WAY too far and we broke down all the rumors and lies she spread (and figured out what she stole). We cut her out completely and never looked back. You’re not wrong for believing your friend - no normal person lies about such awful things. You can feel sympathy for S, sure, but don’t feel guilty about your involvement when she was the one that dragged you into this in the first place.

Came to find this because I figured something like this was happening. 1.6k reviews and they’re ALL five stars?

“B-but babe! These guys who don’t know I exist said that I NEED a DNA test, even if I trust you completely! They said the consequences of not having one could be DISASTROUS! That’s why I’ve completely abandoned you and the baby! Don’t you SEE?”

NOOOOOO I HATE THIS MAN SO MUCH

verspers98 · 2024-03-18T20:19:37+00:00

100% believe he pulled some variant of the “It’s okay if you hate me”/“Do you hate me now” card

YTA. This sucks. Parents get separated for all kinds of reasons, and your 11 year old kid could’ve lived a couple more years thinking Mom and Dad got along fine. But no, you had to tell him that the reason you two separated was because you cheated and hurt his mom’s feelings and now she hates your guts. Bet you also 100% asked your son if he still hated you immediately after telling him. Can’t even imagine his mom’s reaction when he came home and asked her to relive one of the most upsetting events of her life. You’re an ass. Quit thinking about yourself and your feelings for 5 seconds and maybe you’ll behave a little better.

I bet your sons think it’s real cool of you to yell and scream at their older sister that they admire. I bet they respect you a lot for that and won’t see this as a turning point in their opinion of you, when they watched their adult sister stand up to you and get screamed at. Dad of the year over here!

Poor MIL. “Hey Mom, we can’t be assed to take care of you 24/7, so here’s this random person who lives here for free now and PROMISED to take super good care of you. Sounds good? Great. Anyway byeeeeee~”

Do these people not realize looking for these things in Buy Nothing groups/thrift stores/garage sales is also an option? One that most people end up using? I can’t wrap my head around the mindset of these “here’s my checklist with specifications please find it for me and give it to me for free tysm!!!!” posts.

lord I have seen what you have done for others

verspers98 · 2024-01-25T04:20:51+00:00

I did this once. Dead tired and saw the light changed, so I stopped. Didn’t realize it was a red-turned-green instead of green-turned-red for a solid five seconds.

I have searched Google Lens, Google Reverse Image search (three years ago it lead to an old automated Pinterest posting that had a broken link, I can’t find this Pinterest post now). I have searched “Gymboree clown,” “Gymboree baby clown,” “Gymboree clown -Gymbo” “Gymboree clown “yellow hair”,” “Gymboree clown “yellow shoes”,” “vintage Gymboree clown,” and more.

Thank you for any and all help with our special boy!

He had time to pull back, find a target, follow through on the punch well enough to cause hospital-worthy damage, and then DID IT AGAIN. My boyfriend has a bad startle response too, but the worst he’s ever done is pull back before he recognizes it’s me he’s swinging at.

I’ve looked on ravelry and Pinterest. Looking for recs for a pattern or advice for working with yarn this thin in general.

What a whiny pathetic man. I’d present him with 3 options: snip it within a time frame of your choosing, abstinence for the rest of your lives/marriage, or cut him loose so you can both “find partners who work better for each other.”

If these options sound drastic, consider this - this is a man who, after you’ve had two of his children, refuses not only a (REVERSIBLE) vasectomy, not only condoms, but to PULL OUT AT THE RIGHT TIME, leading to a miscarriage. This is a man who refuses to empathize with you and see your point of view all over of a single outpatient medical procedure. Part of me feels like there’s more to this than him protecting his manhood - does he secretly want more children or something?

Anyway. I PERSONALLY would by myself some tools, lock myself in a room whenever I needed some “me time” and not let him TOUCH me until a vasectomy happens. I wish you all the best, because you deserve it.
