How do you make connections at weddings when you barely know anyone? I feel like it’s always awkward smalltalk and at some point you’re just drunk and wanna go home.

There will be others at the wedding who don't know anyone either. Mingle and figure out who those people are and then team up.

Why do you go to a wedding by yourself where you don’t know anyone 😂

Watch “wedding crashers” and take notes

Bond with your table mates during dinner. Introduce yourself and ask how people know the bride and groom. If invited, attend pre-wedding events to get to know people who will be there. I've also found drinking helps 🤣

Hi. I was recently offered two jobs within the company. I had to turn down the first offer. I feel really awful about it. I really liked that team and the hiring manager. I want to send an email to the hiring manager thanking them for their time and consideration etc. Would that be unprofessional? Could it offend them? What would you do in such a situation?

I literally cannot stomach to be around my in laws any longer. My wife and I are in neither political camp and we pretty much have the perspective that no matter what the outcome is every 2 and 4 years isn’t going really affect our lives all that great. We just have the attitude that “things happen, but why let that affect our daily happiness?” My in laws are retired, bored, and do nothing but share Fox News videos on Bookface and have just become so angry.

Do you pay your credit cards in full every month?

I ask because I’ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I haven’t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under). It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.
