That's so great to hear! I actually came back on to ask how he was doing, so thanks for the update!! I'm assuming he'll be stuck in the hospital for a while, though, right? If he was flown in and in ICU, I can't imagine he'd be released very soon. Have they given any sort of a timeline?

No timeline yet. Which means it will likely be a little bit. But any progress is good progress!

That is very true, but, like many, I gave up after awhile and decided that it was best to just not fight it anymore, a like Elsa said... Let it Go. As I said, initially it was a very freeing experience, but, now that I'm older I do wish that I was able to have had that kind of connection to the point, like the vow says, til death do us part. It gets really lonely sometimes and also can be very scary when the body starts to loss it's dependability. On the other hand, I guess, I only have to worry about me. I may not be explaining it very well, it is hard to put emotions into words.

You explained it quite well.

I have attended some weddings with an open bar but most I have been to have had an open bar for just a cocktail hour. After an hour it was closed.

One hour of "open" is plenty. (Years ago I worked in the hotel industry and did clerical work for sr. executives, and occasionally, a food & beverage manager.) Anyway, the F&B manager loved it when clients ordered an open bar, because the hotel made big money, easily boosting up his sales quota. The reason is that guests get careless when its free, and rarely finish their drinks--and keep ordering more.

And for every bottle that is uncorked or opened up in the bar, the client gets charged for the entire bottle--even if only a small amount is poured. A (no time limit) open bar is expensive, and the amount of waste is ridiculous. I think a one-hour open bar is reasonable (for those who chose to have that option), but anything beyond that, also opens up additional issues like inebriated guests getting behind the wheel of a car.

Have it in WDW and take care of both things at once. Your Step-DIL's family are paying for it right? If not... never mind! Sorry, I just want to see the family of the bride fulfill their obligations mostly because I had to pay for most of my own (even though my in-laws had plenty of money), then paid for both my daughter's weddings. I want to know that someone else is paying for stuff like that. :D

I have boys so does that mean I'm off the hook? If not they're getting one like the one I planned for one of my steps. VFW, local place made the food, keg of beer, a couple of cases of cheap but decent wine, we did the flower arrangements etc. Everything on the cheap but fun

I've basically already told my parents that if I get married, I don't expect them to pay for it. I think they were more than a bit shocked at that. And it's not because I think they would cause drama or want things their own way; they definitely wouldn't. I just think it's an antiquated tradition that the bride's family pays for it. I think if I'm working and my future husband is working, we should foot the bill.

Interestingly enough, my mom's parents were so opposed to her marriage to my dad that they neither paid nor showed up for her wedding. My dad's father paid for their wedding. My grandmother refused to show up for her 19 year old's wedding, and my grandfather just followed along. FYI, my grandmother was a horrible person.

Ironically, my parents are still married, mostly happily, while my mom's siblings are divorced and those marriages my grandparents approved of.

That is very sad when a parent wouldn't show up to a child's wedding. Did they ever reconcile?

I love hibachi. The show is so fun. My youngest doesn't like the show though. She always gets scared by the fire. So if anyone wants hibachi, we will just do take out. Hey, @figmentfan423, when dh and I were dating, we used to go to Izumi on 23. Is that still there? We still consider it the best hibachi place we ever went to.

Hand update. just an itty bitty bit of swelling and just a trace of bruising left:joyfull: It still hurts just a bit without ibu so with luck I'll be able to get some tracing I had hoped to do sooner done. Sewing should wait a few more days because I don't think the vibrations will be helpful at all

Glad it is doing better. I would think the vibrations would probably make it hurt too.
