Hey everyone,

My partner and I are getting married in his church. It's in the city where we live/where our family and friends are from. A lot of them still live in the area, with a group residing in the city about an hour and a half east of us.

The reception venue I love is about an hour south of the church. My plan would be to do the room block there. So have the ceremony in our city and then everyone would travel to the reception.

Is that super annoying for guests? I figured it would just be like traveling for any wedding? I assumed after the ceremony everyone could check into their hotels, and then we'd do transport to the venue from there (about ten minutes away).

Does this sound horrible? There are no affordable venues near me that we both love. But culturally, his church is really important to him.

Edit: There is a church that's his religion 16 minutes from the venue. Would that make more sense? Does it make a difference since people have to drive either way?

Hey everyone,

Hopefully this is allowed. I (RN) work in a pre op/pacu area. Yesterday I took care of a gentleman who, while making small talk, revealed he is an MD at our facility. I usually call everyone "sir" or "Mr __________." After discharging him, I was reading his consult note where he was always referred to as "Dr _________."

So my question is - what's your preference? Was it rude to say "sir" or "Mr" instead of Doctor? Or would it have made him feel weird to refer to him as Dr? He was incredibly nice and I don't think he would have corrected me if he preferred one or the other. I'm curious what you all think.

Thanks!

Hey everyone!

I'm trying to eat more locally grown produce. I've found a farm share through Holcomb Farm in Granby CT that looks great... But Granby is a little far for me. I live right on the line of MA and CT. Anyone know any good farm shares that are a little closer? Thanks!

my current fave song to cry to is Monica Lewinskibidi but this is coming up a close second

Hey everyone,

Looking for some input regarding using an external CD player in my 2018 VW Tiguan S.

I love CDs and I bought an external CD player to use with the car. It has Bluetooth capability but it sucks. I can get it to connect but as soon as I plug my phone in (for GPS) it automatically disconnects then I have to try a million times to reconnect.

I really want to be able to plug it into the radio. I have a USB port but no aux. I have genuinely searched the car high and low and do not have an aux jack.

Is there any way I can connect my CD player to the car using the USB port? I tried to just plug it in but it doesn't seem to read it. I also tried an aux to USB adapter but no luck.

Anyone go last night? I left after The World. Wondering what they closed with during the encore.

Just got back from going to this festival for the first time. Anyone else attend? What was your favorite set? Have you ever been before? I want to hear everyone's opinions

Hi guys,

I have an intex easy set that's about 15 x 48. I wanna say it has around 3500 gallons. It is the kind that has an outer ring that you inflate, no poles or bars. Unfortunately it does have some wrinkles in the liner which I could not get out.

I bought a wybot from Amazon bc it was on sale (bad choice, I know) and it doesn't work at all. It hits a wrinkle and completely stops moving and doesn't start again

Does anyone have recommendations for a robot vacuum that will go over the wrinkles? I do not want one that plus into the filter, just like a self standing one. Ideally under $200 is my budget.

Thanks!

Hi everyone!

​

Long story short - I am planning a wedding for next year. It'll be about 200 people. I want to keep it as cheap as possible.

​

I am looking for recommendations for cheap, casual outdoor or indoor venues. Honestly things like VFW, Elks clubs, outdoor pavilions, etc. Any suggestions? Ideally somewhere with a decent view/nature around the area. I'm open to anything!

​

We live in the Enfield area so around there would be most convenient but I also don't mind going further for the right venue and price.

Anyone get a good video of Poison Oak yesterday? I was too busy wiping away my tears to record. Thanks!

Anyone know what time the show at Warsaw will actually start? I want to see Koyo so bad. I keep seeing ten but is that doors or start time?

I'm going to be at Bright Eyes and that will end at 10 lol. Trying to figure out if I have time.

Just curious if anyone going to Warped DC also going to Bright Eyes in NYC this weekend? It's going to be a busy couple of weeks for "emo" millennials 🙃

Hey y'all,

Headed to NYC in June for Bright Eyes at Forest Hills Stadium. Can someone tell me realistically how long it'll take to get from our hotel near Grand Central to Forest Hills on public transit? Google maps says 45 minutes but the train times app says the trip is 15 min? Just wanna make sure I'm doing things correctly. Can't be late! Thanks
