Tell me if my plan is solid to attend a Labor Day weekend wedding 😅
I’m coming from the New England area so I was going to drive to New London CT to take the orient point ferry (with my car) then drive to the Huntington NY area.
I’m from New England and…well snow lol so garages are pretty important to most people. I’m looking at a home that has a one car garage in an area that probably 98% of homes have at least a 2 car garage.
I guess I’m curious how many of you, if any, think a one car garage would be a dealbreaker even if the rest of the hone is perfect and in a dream neighborhood?
ETA: I personally, don’t mind the 1 car garage, I can manage, but I’m curious if it would be a dealbreaker for you/your clients.
Ok I’m not very techy but I’m trying to make a relative’s handwriting a font. They lost some handwriting capabilities so I thought this would help them practice.
I took pics of their notes and traced all of the characters on PowerPoint with my iPad and Apple Pencil. I downloaded the calligraphr template and just put it in a word doc so I could copy/paste the letters but I’m having trouble resizing the letters into the template.
The thinner A on the right is what I want but when I size it down it looks like the image on the left. I grouped all the individual lines and “locked aspect ratio” but it didn’t help.
ANY advice is appreciated. I really want to help them and would like to finish this asap.
I’m considering a mini-moon next June. The wedding is a Sunday so it would be Monday-Friday.
I grew up in New England but have never explored much of Maine, just a weekend or so in ogunquit. I’m looking for ideas and would love your input especially on hotels or cabins to rent.
I’d like to stay someplace nice & by the ocean and in a beach town but not Cliff House level $$$.
I’m planning a “mini” moon (4-5 nights) for next summer and was considering Block island.
I was looking at the Beach House hotel. Does anyone have any reviews or thoughts on this? I was also looking into cottages vs the main building? I’m open to other hotels or cottage rentals.
We’ll most likely be there in June from a Monday through Thursday or Friday (if that matters).
I grew up in New England but have never been there so any other Block Island recs would be great!
TIA 🫶
I am doing a micro wedding in a wildflower garden & I’m starting to think about music. I think it would be great to have a violinist play whatever they want as guests settle in then play my entrance song and our exit song. It’s a small area so I don’t think I’ll need/want any speakers or other artists.
My question is about the entrance song.
The “aisle” I’m walking down is like an L shape so I’d walk maybe 60 feet then pause and turn right to walk up the aisle which is a bit shorter.
I assumed I’d walk down the aisle to Here Comes The Bride but I’ve always love At Last. Would it make sense to have a violinist play the beginning of At Last as I approach the aisle then switch to Here Comes The Bride? Would At Last even sound good with just a violin or does it need the sounds of the full band?
Is this too much to ask? I’ve never had to hire a musician and can’t play a single note of any instrument so I don’t know what is possible.

Ok I need your ideas because I know this is such a creative group!
I’m planning a micro wedding for immediate family. It will be in a wild flower field with lupines (hopefully they’ll be in bloom)🪻I’m somewhat crafty and creative so I want to do something really cool with the invites because I’ll only need about 10.
My first thought was to hand paint them. Should I paint a small canvas and put the wedding info on a card on the back so they eat get something they can hang up? But I also don’t know if I’m this talented lol
Do I paint one and get it printed? I had a friend do this and the print was beautiful but i didn’t like the paper she chose & not entirely sure how to do this.
Does anyone have inspo or other ideas??

Looking for a body lotion or oil to help with aging skin.
My mom lost a lot of weight and her skin just needs some extra love and a lot of hydration. I’ve seen lotions that have hyalauronic acid or other skin care and I don’t know what to look for.

Has anyone used Cakes while wearing a bathing suit? I am a full C cup and just need a little oomph in my bathing suit tops and my sister said people wear Cakes. Are they really waterproof?
ETA: ok I did some more research and have 2 more questions:!
- It seems like I need “grippy” cakes not sticky to be OK in the water, Correct?
- Do the triangle cakes add any lift?
Help! I was using U by Kotex Balance pads in the black boxes because they were cleaner than what I was using. I never looked into how clean Kotex was. I honestly took the word of a OBGYN from tiktok & knew they were better than what I was using because I wasn’t having a reaction to them. But now Kotex is “new & improved” 😩 they’re also claiming to better balance ph which I’m sure is a load of BS and more chemicals.
What brands are we using for disposable pads?
At this point, that’s all I’m interested in. I’m sure there are better options (discs, cups, reusable pads etc.) but I’m only interested in disposable pads right now. TIA 🫶
Seriously Bravo get on this!
We want to see Ciara in her full glory creating a space of peace (with a Paige cameo for design obv). This is such an accomplishment that needs its stars ⭐️
ETA a typo
I just got pre approved and was planning to submit a few more applications per my realtors suggestion. The pre-approval I have can be extended a few times without another credit pull and I have a week to apply for any more and be within the 45 days of not getting another hard pull for the same type of loan.
I want to buy in a very specific neighborhood and the likelihood of something coming available is slim. I was hoping something came up this summer. I believe something will be listed next year (have talked to neighbors).
Would it make sense to do more mortgage applications now within the 45 days or just sit on the one I have and apply next year? I’m not sure how long they can be extended.
My fiancé and I want to do an outdoor ceremony in the woods with immediate family (20) and a dinner reception. This is also local so there’s no travel or hotels needed.
For many different reasons i don’t want to give a lot of notice for the wedding. I won’t bog down the sub with details but trust me there are legit reasons (ex: keeping the family I’m no contact with in the dark).
Would it be ok if my fiance and I planned everything out and said: “we are getting married in 2 weeks, these are the details we would love if you can join us.”
First time posting here. I have experience with relatives (not in-laws) that are toxic, manipulative, mentally abusive etc. Although it’s unfortunate, I know how to handle that but I don’t know how to handle the bad gut feeling I get with my future in laws.
It’s been happening nearly every time I see them. I tried to ignore this when we first met but its not going away. I know this is hard to take seriously but I’ve had 2 people on my side of the family bring this up to me unprompted after seeing them. 1 of them has an incredible sense of character and picking up on things that are off so I put a lot of stock in their opinion.
My fiance is very close to his parents so I’m not comfortable discussing this with him as they haven’t done anything concrete to me (except a few digs from his mom).
I guess i don’t know what advice I’m looking for but has anyone else dealt with this?
ETA - thank you for the consideration replies. The digs are few and very minor (just a slight tone/edge I picked up on) so I don’t feel like I have anything to really bring up to my fiancé. It’s overwhelming just my gut feeling.
I teach a management course and I want to tweak my assignments for next semester. The area I think I can improve is with the case studies. Right now, I have them read a case (about 10 pages) that displays concepts I’ve lectured about. Then they complete short answer questions as homework and we have a discussion in class. I do this 3-5 times a semester.
I want to tweak this for 2 reasons. Primarily, I think it can be more engaging/impactful but also (and selfishly) grading their HW takes forever.
My first thought is instead of having each student answer every question, have a small group answer 1 question, present their info to the class and hand in a short response?
Does anyone do case studies differently? What has worked well?
Sincerely,
A New-ish professor trying to improve
