I went to the unemployment office today to file my claim after the medical leave period expired, and the woman behind the desk tells me
"You have mandatory training tomorrow at 10:00 AM." 😲😠
...And I’m expected to sit through some lecture when I'm still dealing with debilitating stomach pain? Is this really how things work in this damn country?😠

Ronald Williams9 said:I’ve officially run out of things to wear... it’s getting ridiculous. I feel like I’m moving around like a tank. Honestly, the idea of buying maternity clothes sounds exhausting, and my due date is only a month away. What am I even supposed to do in this heat? I’ll need larger sizes soon, but I’m definitely over just wearing sweats and loungewear all day.
Just dragging myself around the house.
It's awful.
During my last pregnancy, I was working right up until the 20th week before my water broke—I felt like I was on high gear. Now? I feel like a total slug.

👍 🙏
When I was writing 👍👍👍

...Today, I decided to take a quick little ride on the light rail after quite some time... and honestly, I had absolutely no intention of grabbing a seat since I was only traveling three stops
...but during those three stops, people shoved and pushed me so aggressively just to reach a tiny bit of space in that crowded mess of a train... everyone just acts like they’re oblivious, like they can't see anything happening right in front of them
...and now my stomach is doing absolute flips🙂))... I actually feel fine personally—I didn't want to sit down because it was such a short trip—but there's always the chance that some pregnant woman
might really need that seat or could end up feeling physically ill, yet these people will just continue to pretend they don't notice. It is truly appalling... I am genuinely disappointed....... grrr

Does anyone happen to have any good recommendations for someone who does rentals like that?!

And which part of the country are you located in?

frozenangler87 said:Honestly, I'd probably just bake the cake myself rather than buy it from Bos!
I'm not saying it didn't look pretty or anything, but I just can't get behind the quality of Bos and his stuff again...

All five hundred of my guests have checked in and are accounted for.😂

We haven't been dealing with any illnesses lately... I'm honestly not sure what the current situation looks like now.☕

Jesse Morgan73 said:Does anyone happen to know a baker who makes truly, exceptionally stunning wedding cakes? I was originally thinking about picking up some pastries from a place in a Small Town, USA, but I have to admit, I wasn’t exactly blown away by the look of their wedding cakes. I suppose I'm looking for someone who is a genuine wizard when it comes to cake design. Thanks!

Bos makes gorgeous cakes... I actually brought in a photo once, and they recreated it perfectly for me.
So 👍🙏 they are my top choice
😍

If you happen to have a connection living on the coast, just ask them to ship a whole bush to you via a Greyhound bus...

I actually have an uncle down in Florida who just sent me an entire sprig this past Thursday. He wrapped it tightly in newspaper to keep it from drying out and mailed it out the same day. My sisters and I used it for our graduation decorations, and honestly, it was absolutely perfect.
That is my best advice for you.🙂

..p.s. I’ll gladly drive a $17 bus if you're buying me a coffee, and that's all it'll cost you.😍

That's awesome—so I guess we can safely assume your man is a huge soccer fan

Spot on.😉 🙂

Here is my top pick 😉)

Brian Murphy7 said:Thanks, thanks, and thanks again! I’m really digging this room, Lucy. Someone already dropped a link earlier, and boldcrane143 did too. These kinds of venues are beautiful just as they are—they don't need much intervention. You don't have to go out and buy a mountain of decor just to make them look decent, unlike some places where you basically have to stage a production to make it look halfway alright. I have one concern, though: my guest list is looking like it'll be around 300 people. It definitely won't go over, and it might even be less since my relatives from the Midwest probably won't all show up. My worry is how that's going to look in a venue that holds 560, like Lucy's. Won't it feel half-empty? boldcrane143, how many guests did you have?

Mine will be at a tight 540; we can't fit a single extra person in there if we want to breathe.😍
...but dear, having about 350 people would actually be perfect for you at Lucy's place. It works great for Lucille because
you wouldn't be crowding the dance floor. For me, the space feels huge even though they'll have to squeeze in a few extra tables, but for you, having all that extra room to really party would be wonderful...👍

Brian Murphy7 said:Hey ladies, I need some help! I’m originally from Des Moines, but I'm getting married in Columbus next year (aiming for September or October if we can snag a date at the right venue). Honestly, my fiancé and I are totally clueless about the wedding halls in the Columbus area—he's just not the planning type. I checked out the Admiral venue and it’s stunning, but the price tag is a bit much. We’re starting our venue tours in about two weeks, so if you have any recommendations, warnings, or leads on good spots around there, please let me know. We're expecting about 300 guests. Morgan Stewart50, if I remember correctly, you have a list of venues or restaurants somewhere? If you could send that my way, I would be incredibly grateful. Thanks in advance!

I've included my own list in my signature, so feel free to take a look.☕

Douglas Taylor2 said:Man, my head is just killing me 🙂 !!!

Me toooo 😢((
I just went out to pick some up and tried running a test, but it’s acting all weird and smudgy.
A line showed up in the little viewing window, but it's incredibly faint...
It's barely visible at all, even though I've been reading the instructions and it should be clearly legible..
I'm going to grab a coffee, then head back out to get another one...😍

And here we have it—Đukin's place finally has its own dedicated page.

So, here is the situation... I have been considering making the party favors myself for quite some time now. It might not seem like such a massive undertaking for a group of 600 people if someone actually had the spare time available.
However, between my various daily responsibilities, I simply cannot find a moment to sit down and get them done.
I did hear a rumor that that specific woman over in Ivankov also makes these favors. But then I overheard a price point of roughly $1.50 -$0.67 per unit!
Is that even remotely realistic? Hmm...

granitesurfer18 said:Can anyone recommend a solid wedding photographer out in the Midwest? Doesn't matter what city they're based in.

I suggest looking into Krizmanic photography out of Indianapolis. Their recent portfolio is quite impressive, and honestly, they caught me by surprise; their work is top-tier without being overpriced.

nimblegardener33 said:I don't know when you were last there... I was there like two months ago. The tables are oval now, and the chairs have white covers, kind of like our hall 😍... it's just a small room 🙄... looks like our guests will be in the same hall 😍 , ours right 5 spots before 😉

Oh, man, the last time I was there was back in November of last year. I don't get out to Memphis very often, so I honestly haven't kept up with what's changed lately... and regarding that hall, even having oval tables isn't going to save the vibe 😉.

Are you hosting your wedding at Lucy's Place too? Please, 😉😍

nimblegardener33 said:Hey, my Midwest folks... anyone ever done a wedding at the Johnson estates over in Ivanhoe?
I'm trying to find some photos of just the ballroom, but I can't find anything online. I really want to get a look at the place, thanks 😍

I have been to the Johnson Estates quite a few times. Unfortunately, all I have are videos from one particular wedding, as I don't have any actual photos of the venue. To be honest, the hall isn't my favorite, especially when you consider all the other options in the area. It feels a bit narrow, and because all the tables are lined up in one continuous row, the layout is somewhat awkward. The chairs are heavy and wooden, which creates an issue; if someone sitting at the end of the hall needs to get up—say, to use the restroom or step outside for a moment—they have to squeeze past everyone else. Because of that, it wouldn't be at the top of my list.🤷

Take a quick look through the forum; there have been plenty of discussions about this topic already. I actually just found out about it myself when my dad started using it—he’s feeling fantastic now. To be clear, he was practically dependent on those sake tablets every single day, but he's currently on his fifth day without any medication at all, and he feels truly wonderful. He gets his water sourced from a spring in Kentucky...

Do a little Google search...

The thread already exists...

I took a few photos of this cake yesterday..

swiftmaker72 said:I have no idea where you're supposed to find a salad like that

Actually, there is plenty of humor to go around; it certainly isn't just limited to one source. For instance, Lucy receives over 600, while Boise sees up to 1200, and that location on the island gets about 600. I am actually attending a wedding out on that island this September, so I will be able to observe the situation firsthand and see how things truly unfold.😎
