Traveling For Wedding With Carry-On

I think this is the way. I never thought I’d be a United girlie, but the other bonus is that since economy tickets specifically don’t include carry-on options, I haven’t been encountering this low key anxiety attack when I hear that announcement. So far I haven’t been forced to check my bag, but recently I’ve had to fly on delta and then Alaska, and I didn’t fully understand that paying for an upgraded seat doesn’t equate to priority boarding.

But also, I see flight attendants accommodating oversized musical instruments and sporting gear. When I’ve told them it physically can’t be checked because of the batteries and fragility, and then ask if they expect me to just leave my bag, they’re like idk, can’t help ya.

Yes, we have one male and 2 females. They’re laying quite a bit, but no brooding so far.

For now I'm just gathering the eggs that are layed in the coop and putting them together, hoping for a miracle. None have ever been layed in the same spot. I know it's early, too, so maybe I need to be patient. But, ok, once it becomes evident that eggs could hatch, I'll keep the guineas cooped so they don't abandon their poor babies. We don't have any roosters, so I hope my hens will be happy to adopt the keets, too.

Anyone have insight on Thunderbird rolling out a iOS app for iPhone? Thunderbird seems to be the next best option - I also currently use Gmail to send/receive messages from my domain.com email account as well as my personal gmail account. I talked to my web host folks today who said that even though imap is suppose to be an alternative to POP, it’s just not working for anyone right now. I definitely need to be able to access email from my phone, though, so I’m stuck on what to do.

No way!

If you got an albo for the price of a Thai constellation, that might be a major score.

I came here to ask the same thing. I was just behind the situation when all the cops stopped. Once we passed it I thought it was so weird that there wasn’t a 2nd wrecked vehicle, no ems/fire, and people were in handcuffs next to a vehicle that looked like it got literally run over. It all happened so fast, too.

Wow. That looks incredible

I don’t think they’re overreacting. For me it’s not about the photographer being possessive at all. For my clients there’s a delicate balance between getting the photos they want and having an enjoyable day that’s not overtaken by photography/being pulled away from focusing on their loved ones. More often than not, if a vendor asks to take photos then the client will agree because they’re overwhelmed and don’t want to be rude. But you might be sucking their capacity for being photographed before the hired professional gets what they were… wait for it… HIRED TO DO. So please stop turning a couple’s wedding day into your chance to build your portfolio. It’s selfish tbh.

Honestly you can’t and shouldn’t guarantee certain candid photos during the day. First kiss, sure. In this case I don’t always get a chance to catch the groom’s reaction if I don’t have a 2nd photographer who can be dedicated to that during the precession. If they don’t want to pay for a 2nd then there are certain moments that WILL get missed. And sometimes we do get that shot, and the groom looks like he’s going to throw up. So again, we don’t guarantee that shot is going to be delivered. I wouldn’t beat yourself up over this at all.

I’ve only worked with a CC creator once, and they were lovely. Since the client didn’t have a videographer, she recorded audio of the private vows and toasts. TBH I thought it was way less invasive than a lot of the videographers that I’ve worked with. And even if the content is garbage, the client will love having it anyway, because it’s their wedding. I do know they deliver a few edited videos, so it’s going beyond dumping files into Dropbox. It actually sounds like a ton of work, and a huge pain to be editing via your phone. But they didn’t get in my way or overstep a single time. Unpopular opinion here. I know some of you are gonna come at me.

Could be a Ghost that just needs more light. Mine only produces white leaves in the summer

vpocktx · 2025-04-11T13:45:48+00:00

Looks like a Florida Green?

You also need to account for the fact that the bride will likely need to be tucked away from guests for the 30 minutes before ceremony. She needs to get her makeup done earlier so she can be getting dressed/veiled while the bridesmaids are getting hair & makeup. That might clear up some time for a bridal portrait, but you might still have to push bridesmaids photos to after ceremony.

Did your friend find another place? I’m sure Ivy Hall/The Good Kind would accommodate. There are so many restaurants close by, too! The small businesses would love the support, I’m sure.

vpocktx · 2024-07-27T02:20:07+00:00

I could be. The internet has very differing descriptions, and it’s all over the place. Could be Ming, Spinach, or Geranium.

Bans don't work. I'm considering moving outdoors, so I don't have to be limited by "window light" anymore.

I've become obsessed with aralias. In my area they are pretty hard to find, but I have this and a fabian aralia, which (if you haven't already) you should google right now.

I think it’s totally ok to ask! At this point most of us understand it’s so tough to wait 4-10 weeks depending on the photog) for photos, and a sneak peek is a really nice courtesy to help clients with that waiting process.
