Hi Dan-
I don't follow. I was following the comments on the update you posted on the main board, but haven't seen anything for the last couple of weeks.

Nah. The only thing that will increase mask usage will be comfortable masks readily available everywhere.

Sorry, (gas) masks.

Though there are plenty of communities with shuls that require masks.

הכל בכל? Very very normal, unfortunately. Wedding night which gets split is a small percentage of the total cost.

Crazy. Happy that's not my world.
What kind of not well off family can afford to blow $60K post tax dollars like that?

After the back and forth here, I just took a look at the article;Can very well be that they split the basics. Splurging on music bands, smorgaboards, aufruf, dresses etc. on their end can easily add additional $30k-$40k.

And is $50K-$60K normal to expect from a not well-off family to spend on their half of the wedding?

Sad. "I can afford it so who cares about the other side"

Made me want to vomit.

I know you meant Adverse Action. But I'm trying to say maybe we need something more unique.
AA is just way too common. On my last trip to Asia, AA means AirAsia. On my last cruise, AA means Alcoholics Anonymous. In UK it is their AAA.

That's why the abbreviation on DDF is A/A.
