As someone who is often the childless person in this scenario, doesn’t bother me one bit otherwise I wouldn’t stay there. Uncle Arrec is their favorite
My friends' kids and my kids are very accustomed to their dads being a little hungover at breakfast when we're staying at their house or they're staying at our house, while they get to have sleepovers with friends they see 1-2 times a year. Or us all waking up in the same house to pile in a car and go to a football game. Or the dads coming home after a 7am tee time to a lake or beach day.
No kids but have room to sleep 6 more comfortably which happens basically every home football weekend. It's a lot of fun actually.
Honestly they can be fun with kids and family around the holidays. It really depends on how the trip goes. If you had fun then it doesn't matter the sleeping isn't ideal. If it's a bad time, the lack of sleep compounds it

Imagine saying this and thinking this is a selling point for mined diamonds. Give me all the cheap diamonds. “Five to ten years into the future, I think there’s going to be very few customers that are willing to spend thousands of dollars for a lab diamond. I think almost all of it’s going to sell in the $100 price point or even below,” said Zimnisky. He predicts that natural diamonds will continue to sell in the thousands and tens of thousands of dollars for engagement rings.
"You should spend three month's salary on a ring" is the most fucking absurd and insulting idea that was ever allowed to gain traction.
and then spend a few hundred bucks each year insuring it too if I bought a lab one, I wouldn’t insure shit
Younger generations that can't afford houses, children or retirement not spending money on senseless bullshit. Plus weather and sports at 10.
yall should be embarassed you dont love your partners enough to put little rock on her finger thats worth as much as a used car.
Next thing you'll tell me is these heathens aren't willing to shell out 15k for plated chicken Kiev with two spears of asparagus for 200 guests
If the wedding industry is the next victim of the millennial murder spree, we will be the greatest generation
My wife wanted to know exactly how many people died to get a particular rock on her finger. Anything under 20 was unacceptable.
I dunno man. I was very opposed going in, but I had a ton of fun on my wedding weekend (destination) expensive, but no ragrets Even Tug was there
I went to Lip ’s wedding. Was a destination wedding and worth the cost. I’m about to plan a trip to my little cousin’s wedding in Ohio. Nothing in Ohio is worth the cost
We were pretty cheap for our wedding 8 years ago. Paid for a caterer, a photographer, and officiant. We just rented a big shelter thing at a state park that we set up ourselves.
I’ve heard boats are bad investments but if that’s what your wife wanted I guess it’s what you have to do
Yellow 5 actually causes you to be sterile, not shrink your dick at least according to Charleston area schools in the 90s/2000s
I had a friend that one day was carrying around a 2 liter of Mountain Dew around our HS citing this reason. He ended up having a couple of kids pretty shortly after HS
I drank so much Mountain Dew AND smoked the weed seeds that there is no way this 3 yr old kid is mine.
From a motorcycle rider, why I wouldn’t ride a bike if I lived stateside again: 1) insurance cost in the states is insane for a bike because A) insurers don’t accept they’re a primary vehicle and gouge you cuz they’re “recreational” B) rates are high for ANY vehicle because you’re having to pay healthcare costs 2) Vehicles in the states are huge and people cannot see you 3) Traffic lights and filtering being illegal mean you’re basically baking in the sun for long periods, rather than round abouts and filtering keeping you moving 4) Every single traffic exchange being a crossroads is honestly terrifying; you have to trust the guy looking over into the back seat messing with his kids at the stop sign isn’t going to go and turn you into paste on the side of his F350
I was wondering and posted about this before, a few other posters who I assume know better say that it's not exactly a cheap thing to convert purpose built office space to apartments but I think that should happen anyways if any of these owners want to get a steady stream of income again.
Have we gotten into how residential building codes exist to ensure housing remains unaffordable and contractor price gouging remains unassailable? You wanna bring down housing costs, you simply can't/won't without addressing the racket that is code/permitting regulations. This is the one place where i align with libertarians god fuck it hurts so much to say that
Always love it when a plumber or electrician shrugs about code and pretends "yeah I'm in it with you i hate it too" as though it's not singularly the only reason i or anyone have to hire them in the first place
Anyway, it may sound nice and easy to say "let's turn this unoccupied commercial bldg into a bunch of condos and cheaply solve 2 problems at once" but inspectors gonna see that those two outlets are >6 ft apart hell no you can't use it as a bedroom tear the whole place to the studs, rewire/plumb/frame everything. The only people who can afford to buy the place and do that are soulless real estate firms and private equity. They will do so. Then they will reach out to the organized criminals of the large contracting company world. They will pay cash under the table to smaller contractors to artificially prop up the bid for the work. Then shrug and say "see? Just how much it costs, don't know wut to tell ya." One of those 3b/2br condos, when all this shit is done, will cost 450-500k. They will, with the expert precision of business school shitanalytics, price it at the exact level your average middle class American, already well resigned to purgatorial foreverdebt, will be willing to kill themselves to pay.
From what I’ve seen real estate bro sentiment on how feasible this is has changed a lot in two years.
pretty much every commercial building in Downtown Columbus is being rapidly converted to apartments or they are proposed
The plumbing is honestly the issue, it’s a massive undertaking in a high rise. The issue with large corporate real estate companies is that they would rather let it sit and rot and lose less money short term than take a risk on a long term project to overhaul it. Government incentives needed here imo.
