That's awesome. My father (if indeed I could call him that) wasn't around and I know how to do more than he does. Just about everything I learned I either taught myself or was taught to me by my grandfather

Sad reality for a lot of people in this day and age.

That's why learning these things and passing them on are so important

I was taught many different things from my father my grandfathers and great grand fathers on both sides. I teach my sons how to do everything I know.

@RevStench that's fantastic. I have great parents too but they bought into the feminist narrative and figured we'd all be career women with no need/interest in homemaking. So besides basic laundry and cooking it was kinda shrugged off.

@Brandon Ironside- ND that is some sweet and badass sewing skills.

@Brandon Ironside- ND wow!

I'm going to a wedding in a couple of weeks and am going to be buying a suit. What are some new styles and trendy color combos right now?

You arent one of the groomsmen are you?

@here anyone have some advice for @Tony V - CA#7460 ?

Depends on the time of day and the setting. In any case- black is too dour unless you're the groom imo.

If it's in the morning I'd go light grey with notched lapels.

You can get away with wearing a non-white shirt as long as it's a light color and the tie doesn't clash

depending on time of day either grey or black. my preference for a tie or aesthetic trim color would be a deep red.

@Tony V - CA#7460 Post a pic of yourself with as much visible as you're comfortable

if you are going with a bowtie tho just keep it simple with black

very aesthetic and classical

full white tux is very hard to keep clean during the whole ceremony + possible after party.

Agreed there

Yeah it really depends on how formal it is and what time of day

@Deleted User If this is your first suit, I recommend a Navy Blue & Classic Fit suit. One can always be trendy with accessories such as shirts, tie, socks, pocket squares, etc

^^^ This.

I have a nice navy blue suit, fits great. I'm wondering what color shirt and tie I should go with. It's a black tie event

White shirt, blue/white multi colored tie

Oh wait

I would stick with a White shirt. black tie non-sheen, black socks, black shoes and belt.

Yeah. Brown belt and shoes would go better if you had a blue/white tie, but if you have a black tie, black is necessary

Thanks for the fast responses I think I'll go with a white shirt and blue or black tie. Already have brown shoes and belt.

If its a black tie you need black suite, black shoes and black tie with white shirt preferably french cuffs. If it is black tie optional go with what you got fam.

If you're unhappy with your job because you have no opportunity to move up or get paid more and don't know what to do, explore alternative ways of raising your income.

Anyone good with photo editing?!?

@Whitelash I know photoshop pretty well what you need?

May I dm you?

Go for it

@Deleted User is there any interest for starting a “get involved in local politics” server? A lot of talk about this in the general

@Evan Thomas#4159 Dude, this reeks of terrible decisions

@Evan Thomas

@CJames - TN#6244 another good idea. I’m tied up these few days. Let me run that up the flag pole

Care to expand on your thoughts/concerns? @John O -#7072

It just has the je nais sais quoi of a scam

The article is just explaining how network marketing is working for a lot of businesses. There are thousands of people making a lot of money with MLM companies. It's always good to exercise caution to minimize risk and do what is right for you, though.

Most people don't have the money to start their own business and most of these companies don't require a hefty initial investment. If there is no other opportunity out there for someone that desires a lot more than what they're presently earning, at the very least, getting involved in something like MLM would help them to begin thinking bigger and more creatively. And if they work harder, smarter and faster than most of the people in it, they'll succeed.
