The daughter and mother wanted to spend $143,000 in 1991 for that wedding in Father of the Bride. That’s $351,000 in today’s dollars. George Banks is then depicted as the crazy cheap dad.
@esteco2 That was all I needed to see to know she’s a trash person. Who would EVER eat that? Or bring something that looks so vile to someone’s house. Classless.
@MarkSmi70354099 LMAO this isn’t so common. Those of us making a fifth of that can’t make a doc appt because our calendar is so packed and someone will be texting you while you’re on the operating table. It’s a grist mill, and all of leadership is online 12+ hours a day.
@RoaringHammy That’s cheap these days if you’re having a standard wedding. We didn’t want to spend that much, so the next option down was a micro wedding. 40 guests max, fake flowers, homemade decor, had a friend make my cake. No music. No bachelor/ette parties. Cost about $6k including photog
@Reflexistir Anyone who shows up to a wedding without a gift is classless. Pay the tab and be thankful. The trash just took itself out. You will never owe that person a dinner or a gift again.
I've actually come to the conclusion that the sole purpose of homework is to condition children into accepting that unpaid overtime and ridiculous hours and not even being able to escape work even in your own home are a normal things to expect in their future.
The middle class is the most expensive place to live, and no one talks about it. Lower income households get assistance. The wealthy use tax strategies and loopholes. But the middle class pays full taxes, full tuition, full healthcare, full everything. So you work 50 hours a week just to stay in the same place and fund everyone’s life except yours.
Camping is complete buIIshlit. It is not comfortable, it is not fun. Bugs are everywhere.
I like my bed or a nice hotel bed.
I will visit you at your camp. I will hang out by the fire for an hour or two drinking. But I am not sleeping there all night and being miserable.
Years ago when Obama was running for his first term, my neighbors kept talking about how great Obama was. I never said a word to them about being conservative because back then I was more centrist.
At the time I was a 1099 consultant so I paid for my own health insurance. It was about $650 for a family of three and we had a fairly low deductible.
After Obama won and the ACA passed, I lost my health insurance and was told by BCBS that I had to go through the government website to apply.
My insurance went from an affordable $650 a month to $2400 a month with a $10k deductible per family member.
When I said this to my neighbor, they called me a liar. I asked them where they got their news and they said they watched Jon Stewart. I laughed so hard and they never spoke to me again. I’m glad they finally moved.
I just wanted to say this: these are the people we are arguing with online. Completely uninformed buffoons. If you get your information from a late night comedian talk show host, we are not on the same level. Good riddance, Colbert.
@therightfrankd You gotta be kidding. Every moment someone watches them costs something and multiples to unsustainable levels the more you have. We are caring for aging parents too. And let’s not forget biology. Some of us waited to find suitable spouses, leaving a limited reproductive window.
Mothers who are mothering without being mothered by their own mother are living a completely different reality than mothers who are being mothered while they mother.
No deep state arrests.
No de-weaponization operation.
No accountability for Covid.
No Epstein accountability.
But God dang the whole machine came together to get rid of that one libertarian guy in Kentucky! 👊
