And I realise the words seem very similar to somebody who does not know any of these countries or languages. We literally use the words "slovenski" and "slovensky" as adjectives for our respective countries, and mean different things. It is just annoying for us who have to live it sometimes. Also, the ... what country are you from? Oooooh, you were once a part of Russia? *grinds teeth* Oooooh, a wedding! I only remember being at a wedding once or twice, for my mother's cousins, when I was still little. I would love to go to a wedding of somebody whom I actually know and care about, and have fun. But none of my friends are getting married. They will, they will. I’ve been to three weddings of friends’ so far, and I’m guess this number will only increase in the future as I’ve stepped into that certain age when everybody starts getting married. I’m sure the same is bound to happen sooner or later to your social group too. 1 hour ago, Lord Sidious said: I will, it was such a lovely surprise, we could have gotten one ourselves but it was so sweet and touching that she found one for us and offered to look after mini Sith for the weekend too. I also think she just likes using her iPad which I got her for Christmas- she’s surprisingly capable with technology for an 80 year old!. Ugh it sounds like the weather spoilt the wedding a bit . Thank you!, I can’t wait to go we’re going to have such a lovely time . Wow your gran is 80 and she uses an iPad? Impressed, much impressed. Well the bride was kinda upset the week before, but I think she was too happy to be bothered by it on the actual big day. I thought it was kinda fun, actually, definitely the most memorable and unique wedding experience I’ve had so far. You know, taking pictures in coats on the pier with swans behind you, cold wind blowing the balloons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of my friends that I call close are nowhere near getting married, or nowhere near my geographical location, or both. (It is weird to say my social group, because I don't really have a group, I only have scattered people that I am comfortable sharing personal stuff with and see more or less regularly, and when I say scattered, I mean all over the place, really.)

I kind of feel bad for the bride, planning a wedding is such hard work, as I am finding out myself!, that you just kind of want everything perfect on the day, we are going to be having our wedding next summer.

I've been to some weddings, family like my second cousin, etc. So far only two of my friends have married, though one did very very young and she is divorced right now. I also attended a gypsy wedding once. That was...well, different, unique. Quote Wow your gran is 80 and she uses an iPad? Impressed, much impressed.

honeyed chicken Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Weddings . . . you have to act all serious during the ceremony. After, at the party - anything but serious. They're funny like that. We did go to one back when the chickee was three or four and she and a buddy were calling out to each other from across the church. "Where's Cora?", "Where's Helga?" Cracked everybody up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Olenna Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 I have come to the conclusion that I may have a problem with couponing. I organized my closets today and oh my, I am stalked up for a very long time. It’s so hard to stop when you can literally shop and just pay taxes. Like for instance, a store had the very expensive Honest company diapers clearanced for 75% off which brought them to $3.64 a pack. I had a bunch of $3 off per pack coupons. That’s $.64 for a pack of diapers. I do cloth diaper most of the time but I just can’t pass up that deal. I just can’t.

My mom and I always wondered how it's possible to buy a two shopping carts of stuff for $20. Now, here these things don't happen. Every coupon you get has a footnote saying that it cannot be combined with any other promotion, be that a sale, another coupon or any kind of price reduction. They often even say that the coupon only applies for one purchase of a single item. It's very very rare that we manage to get more than 30% off something. Oh well, just US things I suppose.

There are people that actually do that. I am not nearly that bad. And I don’t coupon for food because usually the coupons are for junk food. I buy shampoo, body wash, razors, baby stuff...those types of things. I don’t buy an insane amount either but without realizing it I have amassed quite a bit. It’s kind of a game to figure out how to get your total to zero. There are also rebate apps that give you cash back for certain products. I’ve made nearly $600 in the past year using the apps. So actually sometimes I make money. Anyway, I enjoy it a bit too much so I should probably chill a bit. Its monday. I have a chiropractor appointment and then hubby and I have to meet with Lil O’s teacher I’m not sure how it’s going to go because she has told the students to shut up before and I do not find that appropriate or acceptable. But I also don’t want my sons year to be awful because the teacher hates me. It’s not easy having a child that’s smart and constantly bored in class - he tends to get in trouble when he’s bored because he entertains himself. He’s reading at a 4th grade level (he’s second grade) and excels at math and science but due to his behavior I doubt they will ever advance him.

Not hearing any wedding talk from them, but as dad, I'll be the last to know. Well the time Will surely come. Oh bloody hell. So I spent the past two hours trying to figure out how my bank account balance dropped by $2000 in one week. My account history is perfectly reasonable up until yesterday. It’s roughly what one would expect, but yesterday’s deductions aren’t in the books yet so they don’t appear in the account history. Now I know that I didn’t spend a rough $1500 yesterday, because - contrary to what one would expect- there was a ton of stuff I did not (yet) buy. So I checked all the receipts and it turns out one shop accidentally (or so I would like to believe) added an extra digit to what my credit card was charged. I went back to the shop and we wrote a paper and I got back the difference in cash and I’m looking for an atm that takes cash back too because the banks are closed.... oh man.... I’m so glad I double checked this and didn’t write it off as my own fault. I mean I’m not that unreasonable with my spending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So today I went to the uni for nothing. I just had a subject today but the professor didn't appear and he had not sent any mail either. The master is organsied in a way that every week we have a different timetable, but in theory we had seminars till the first week of October, instead of Laboratory classes on Tuesdays. That's similar to what is happening with another subject. Today we were speculating whether the symbol "-" between two dates actually meant that we had seminars those two days, meaning that today there was no class, but the normal thing to think is that it means we have seminars during the period of time comprised between those two dates.
