Question: EVENTS like weddings, baby showers, rehearsal dinners, kids’ plays.. Do you love them or hate them?

Oh I’m there.

This can be a fun game on a Thurs. night. Ok, I’ll start. I hate all of them. But every now and then, an event just pops up and you can’t believe how excited you are to go to this thing. I’ve been clearing out my room because the big move is coming soon and I promised myself I was only taking 50% of what I have with me. I’ve realized to make any space look bigger, you need to keep it as simple and empty as possible. Also, preferably light-colored walls.. it just seems more spacious. I was going through magazines and just tossing them in the trash one by one, but something told me to check out this brand new one that I never even got the chance to open. I opened up the magazine to the middle section for some reason and B-O-O-M, awesome event coming to Michigan. Grill Fest 2024 coming to Detroit right after the 4th of July. By then, I’ll be living out in the woods kinda far from here (and Detroit for that matter) but I already got my dad to take me. He’s not full-carnivore but he’d might as well be. He practically lives on steak. I guarantee you if I wear a shirt with any of these magical letter combos, I’m bound to run into someone from the carnivore gang. BBBE - Beef, Butter, Bacon & Eggs Carni4- (Carnivore) duh HH - Healing Humanity PHD - Proper Human Diet And if I do, well they’re gonna get a big ole’ hug from me. This event is being sponsored by Kowalski! We’re a Polish fam that eats Polish ham (rhyme) so I’m trying to get everyone else to go too. I’m sure there will be fireworks since it’s right after the 4th, and of course some dee-lish bbq dishes and stands all over the place. So question: Which events do you love, and which events do you dodge on purpose? I know I love this one already. Thurs. April 25 8:32 p.m. The day you opened the right magazine at the right time

Hope you have an awesome time at this event. I enjoy these types of events less and less as I get more and more deaf.

@Melanie_Marie I have one hearing aid but am not very good about wearing it.

Aww, I’m sorry about the hearing loss Judy .. anything that can be done? Like hearing aids, etc. My mom is slowly losing her hearing too and in total denial about it. Somehow it’s our fault because now we are all “mumbling”. Yeah I don’t think so. And that TV is getting LOUDERRR by the day. I’m also sorry I fell asleep during my own Thurs. night game and didn’t reply to responses until now. Thanks Judy X

I hate most things. I love fireworks, but on my own terms. I'm hoping that I can see them this fourth of July. Although, unless something happens, I'll have to miss out. George isn't driving,

@Melanie_Marie We live to far from any real displays to actually see anything. We actually have to go away. If George can't drive by then, well I don't see how we'll be able to.

“I hate most things.” I get ya. And I understand what you mean about the fireworks on your own terms. Hope George is doing ok by the 4th and you get to see some great fireworks even from home (but not too many.) Like those huge “bombs” people blow off that shake the whole house and almost blow out your eardrums and don’t really do much of anything except scare people and the poor dogs, cats, birds, and wildlife. I like the quiet, beautiful ones. And sparklers! Gotta love sparklers. Thank you Kayla

I think I have been invited to one baby shower. I hated it. I think my husband and I were invited cause the folks hoped we would contribute cash.

Ugh baby showers are the worst. And they’re always during the day. I’m surprised your husband got an invite too, usually it’s just all the moms of the world and the unfortunate female relatives of the moms that get dragged along against their will. Thanks Lenore

@Melanie_Marie There were a couple of other guys there. The games are totally juvenile in baby showers.
