      I love the environement-- always have (having ageing hippy parents will do that to a kid). I recycle everything (yes, even toilet paper rolls). I buy recycled toilet paper. I don't buy paper towels. For cleaning, I buy all-natural products if I need to, otherwise I use baking soda, vinegar, borax, and rags (no sponges or…

      Dear Mom, I know that we have had our differences, and that you often like to think that I am "just like [my] father", but we're more alike than you care to admit. It is ok for you to be emotional. It is NOT ok to yell at me because you are stressed. Seriously. Are white, rather than ivory, plates really that offensive?…

      We had a honeymoon registry, and it was awesome! We didn't register for the major stuff like airfare, hotel, etc because we, like other people on here, didn't think it was right. We only registered for excursions that we knew would be super cool. So we registered for a helicopter ride, private island picnic, ATV tour, etc.…

      Hubby and I got married this past June. It was an 'encore wedding' for both of us so we are not in need of many things, especially all the smaller items such as towels, small appliances etc. My MOH and sisters organized the shower and invited the guests to contribute towards a larger group gift. It was really great! No one…

      We are also using the Royal Lahaina as the base for our wedding guests for our wedding next year and we stayed there earlier this year and scouted the different types of rooms. Like SkyyBC we really liked its location on Kaanapali - being close to the main action but being on a quieter stretch of the beach. We found that…

      @ei34 It was a really big realization for me when I realized that I had been living on a survival edge for so long and that I didn't need to anymore. Now, I feel a bit stuck in, okay, I've done the work, I recognize my triggers, I feel stronger and more empowered, I'm aware of patterns to recognize and push back against,…

      @southernbelle0915 said, "The point of a shower is to open gifts at the shower. Asking people to ship their gifts isn't appropriate. Your sister should pack light in a big suitcase and bring an extra suitcase to pack additional items. Anything she can't fit, she can ship ground (cheaper). If the gifts are really…

      Reply by atlastmrsg · November 2014 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Wedding Reception Forum

      Get a quote by phone for dance floor with subfloor. Then have event company out to venue to make sure it's workable if the phone quote is in your budget. If the slope is too great, subfloor may not be enough. I had a subfloor put down under the parquet dance floor. The grass was pretty flat at my reception site, but just…

      When I was with an abusive ex 10 years ago, I used to always ask myself "Why am I the only one that has to put up with this? How come Ashley, Kristen, Katie, etc don't have to deal with any of this but I do?" You really need to ask yourself that. I seriously dreaded that day I went to break up with him, but the second I…
