    Homecoming for Luke was 10.22

    My bad, I had homecoming and the 25th anniversary game game mixed up.

    Theres still no reason not to do the party 10/29 except for Steve refusing to.

    We don’t really do gifts save for 1 something very small for our each of our core little family/group so I’m glad to not have that headache and stress every year.

    We’re getting close. It’s a giant booze exchange on my side (fav wines, beers, local only stuff etc). But we still do full presents on Mr Bs side with my nieces and nephews because they are teens & tweens. He shops for his parents because I give up. They are impossible to shop for and yet offended by gift cards etc. I can’t win.

    I’m about halfway done shopping. Extended family is almost done. Mr B is halfway done. I have nothing yet for Jr besides stocking stuff. I will be done by month end. I love to wrap and like to do it slowly and carefully in December.

    Exactly right. There’s no reason to take the a Christmas stuff down before they ski. It can wait until January.

    I think I got all of these but I can’t find Shay Shull. Did she used to have another name?

    I’m an early decorator too. I’ll push right back at anyone telling me I have to wait until after Thanksgiving because I’m not going to do it :snickering:

    But Shay isn’t doing it because she loves the season. She’s doing it to be first and because they Christmas Hard at the Shull house (or something). I personally find her Christmas decorations to be tacky and garish, child friendly or not.

    No Advent Calendar here. I’ve done the Costco wine one but this year’s seemed like last year’s? We were meh over it.

    Jr is in college for the first half of the month so he doesn’t care. Didn’t get one for the puppy either. She will get more than enough treats and toys without it.

    O/t - I didn’t recognize you the other day with your new profile pic. Who is it?

    Living with Landyn.

    I’m on a much needed Jen break. Landy was how I first found the Bakery a few years ago so I’m going back to my snark roots

    10/29 was the big in-state rivalry game in Ann Arbor. He was there for that one too.

    I don’t think he’s missed a home game yet. That’s so pathetic.

    We know she reads it. It just will she take any of it to heart?

    Right? Parents definitely take off Halloween (or at least half day) to trick or treat with young kids who can’t go alone, but I’ve not known anyone who needs November 1 off. There’s zero reason they couldn’t put Christmas up this weekend. But since neither have actual traditional jobs…

    So the only year she’s done it “early” would have been last year. The rest are all the weekend right before Halloween.

    IIRC, 10/15 was Homecoming. 10/22 was the Anniversary game in Michigan. So what’s the excuse for 10/29 other than he didn’t want to do it?

    Marnie will NEVER do a capsule wardrobe because she doesn’t land sponsorships any more from places where people are inclined to shop for one. No Grown Ass Woman is buying a capsule wardrobe from Walmart. That’s for budget conscious and/or moms of young children who have to reoutfit them each season because they grow like weeds. Her core audience has moved past that stage of life.

    That’s her conundrum. Her content is all over the place demographically. And it has been for years.

    If Walmart pays the best, stick with them. But you can’t shill their garbage fast fashion regularly and also push a $400 Marnie satchel. You can’t call the N Sale your Super Bowl of events when that’s the only time you feature them anymore.

    Marnie, your “brand” now is Linkwhore. You will shill anyone who sponsors you. Whether that was your intent or not, that’s what it is. And because you have zero standards beyond the $$$$$ there’s no rhyme or reason as to what you put out.

    So think long and hard about your next moves. We know you are buying followers. If you have gained some authentic as a result of Walmart, then stick with that. But be prepared to lose your luxury followers who want better. There’s a reason why they are complaining about weekly Walmart videos.

    You can’t have it both ways. It’s time to pick a lane.

    I’m trying to figure out what schools he would even be “visiting?” U of Illinois? Notre Dame? UW Madison?

    As for her timeline for his birthday, I only remember her saying that their usual weekend corresponded with Homecoming and no one wanted to come, lol. But I don’t remember her ever having the party that early in past years? Wasn’t his homecoming mid October?

    Mammaw Landy definitely looks the oldest of this group!
    And without her big, round doe eyed alien filter.

    The oldest, Maile looks the youngest.

    She looks like she has one giant foot in this picture.

    Hi Mods!

    We need another thread for Shay Shull

    Winning title is
    Shay Shull and the Manic Panic Jammie Cocoa Christmas

    I hope she just turned those on for the picture. Having them on now is so cringe and would look ridiculous considering people in my neighborhood still have Halloween lights on (and probably will until this weekend when most will take down.)
