i have an idea.
putin has a labrador.
that means that cruel sanctions should be rolled against russia's labrador owners.
don't hesitate to call your senator.

No, labs are the best dogs. We can't issue sanctions against their owners.

Also, just because Putin has a megalomaniacal personality, does that make him necessarily a bad guy?

This hernia requires surgical repair. I'm sad because it means I'm practically out of commission and my school will be pissed. Not to mention that I was planning an excursion plus shopping trip and now the money has to be diverted.

does the fact that people own Visa cards from Binbank make them bad guys? I highly doubt that. but they were "sanctioned".

I would really love to know that myself. I've been going back over when the pain started and all that stands out was getting up off the floor whilst wearing a backpack that weighed half what I do (~40 lbs) so… maybe that. I also did the splits in a skateboard accident. I've been kicking myself mentally and trying to figure out what happened.

Dont think too hard. Generally hernias are from repeated strain rather than a single event. Also if you are young (I am assuming you are) its likely that there is a congenital factor so nothing you could have done about it.

Surgery is generally a good permanent fix if you follow your doctors post op instructions. Although all hernias have a chance to reoccur (very small in the young, compliant patient).

I hope it turns in well (pun bell please).

****ing scratched one of my monitors somehow (it won't go away no matter what myth methods I try from the internet)

Gonna just use this one as my secondary instead and swap the other one over to be the main since they're both the same models anyway. Should bother me less if it's not on the screen directly in front of me.

It's just a tiny speck too like I thought it was a dead/stuck pixel but not it's a ****ing scratch wtf?

wedding

[swill]

wedding

Ya, that is one event that is a pain to plan and costs some serious cash.

Here are my hints (if you care) to keep your costs in check:
- if you rent a hall or something for the reception, don't tell them it is for a wedding. If you say it is a wedding they will charge you double what they would charge you if you rent it for a 'celebration'.
- if you can avoid paying for people to eat at your reception, do it. That is one cost that will add up so fast and is not really that important to your guests.  We did 'drinks, dessert and dancing'. Even with us providing all you can drink alcohol and desserts, it still cost about 1/10th what it would have cost to fed everyone.
- if you are going to offer alcohol, buy it in advance somewhere where you can get a volume discount and provide it. If you use alcohol provided by a bar or establishment, you will pay at least 40% more.

Those are some of the basics that I learned in the process. Feel free to ask me if you have other questions.

To do this, you usually have to wake up much later, around 1pm or so.  Waking up at a regular time in a Bugatti is quite rare.

quite the opposite for the restaurant i chose. good menu and a wedding cake (~7kg) for ~$64 per person. (note: wedding cake is not per person).

- if you can avoid paying for people to eat at your reception, do it. That is one cost that will add up so fast and is not really that important to your guests.  We did 'drinks, dessert and dancing'.

i will be damn hungry after a church ceremony and a photo session. so will be the guests...

- if you are going to offer alcohol, buy it in advance somewhere where you can get a volume discount and provide it. If you use alcohol provided by a bar or establishment, you will pay at least 40% more.

yeah, gf will buy alcohol using her company's discount.

Ya, fair enough. We actually did two different events. We did the actual wedding one day (very small group of people) without a reception. Then we did a 'celebration' that everyone came to another day basically as the reception.

This approach is not for everyone, but it was perfect for us. We tend to do things a little different than the norm.

Congratulations again, I am sure you will have a wonderful day.

Been worried about saving enough for retirement, which would come around in 30 years time. Business has been good, but somehow the pessimist in me thinks that the business will go south, and I'll be forced to shut it down in another few years, and turn to cab-driving. Never held down a 'proper' job for more than a year. My life has been one unstable Jenga tower. Failed businesses one after the other. I have gotta used to it, but it gets to me some times.

At least you are thinking ahead!  A lot of people I know do not even look into the future at all, so I think you are doing well. Just got to save some when you can.
