Im pretty sure part of the reason for my last UTI was holding it too long waiting for the cat to wake up and get off my lap. I’ve definitely delayed eating for her lol

Ah, my mistake. My brain stopped processing after reading that line.

Soak the spot in hot water with dish soap for 15 minutes, then cover the spot in salt and scrub with a toothbrush. Throw in washer after.

No, I’ve been working with her for years.
Basically, she invited everyone except for me. The other people who didn’t get invited were hired on after the invites were send out.

Yeah, send that memo to the 100K+ designers that have been creating them since inception, lol...have you ever bought shoes and clothes?

Going off of this line alone, you were hired after the bride sent out her invites. Which meant that the budget for the amount of people to invite to the wedding had been finalized, and possibly the seating arrangements if food was involved.
It would be too stressful to have to go back and find more money to budget for extra people that got hired on at work to enable them to come to the wedding. Not only would the bride need to spend more money on extra invites, they would need to spend extra money on food, seating, and all the little things that add up with inviting more people.

That makes no sense. They should be comfy if they're expensive!

Those people don't have your best interest at heart and you should avoid them. Surround youself with people who do.

I just wear the 'old school' ones, basic everything. I do have slip-ons and high ones with laces depending on the weather.

You've never heard of Louboutin I see 😂
I only wear Freebird by Madden and yes, they are comfortable but most expensive womens shoes are not comfy in any way...

Fels Naptha is an excellent product for all kinds of stain removal, particularly grease stains! I wet the bar/fabric and scrub it over the stain, then rinse it out.

If you are worried about them throwing a check away ... have a lawyer send it certified mail. That way the lawyer can testify the check was in the envelope and they had to sign they received the envelope.
Nobody screws with something a lawyer sends them unless they are stupidly rich.

I mixed baking soda with vinegar, it makes a lil fuzzy paste. Apply on directly, let it soak for 15 minutes then throw it in the wash. Usually works.

What exactly did she do that was "terribly hurtful and insensitive?" What did she do to amplify the hurt? When I read the post, it just says OP wasn't invited. What did the bride do that was so wrong?

Put cardboard inside the pants so the following steps won’t just move the stain to the back side of the pants. Spray the spot with WD-40 to release the oil. Then form a paste of blue Dawn dishwashing liquid and baking powder. Scrub the spot with that paste using a toothbrush. Scrub it really well, occasionally blotting the area with a clean towel. Then toss the pants in the wash. If some of the stain remains, repeat the process. This really does work. This works even on set in stains.

I would have said Dawn.
I wash my clothes in Oxiclean, more than is recommended. And I put the washer on delay for one to eight hours depending on how nasty they are. They are my work clothes and sometimes get stains including food oil and grease.
Not sure this helps, but I had a six year old splotch of dried fingernail polish on a shirt. I got it out by soaking the area around it in 90% rubbing alcohol. I soaked for probably several hours putting more alcohol on it. Then I was able to rub it out. It had been washed probably a couple of times with no results. It's fine now.
I know Clorox and probably others make to go pens you can carry with you in case this happens again. Hit it on the spot and it might keep it from staining.

This sounds ridiculous, which must mean it's USA. You pay the check into the landlord's account directly, or you can do the same with cash. You do a direct deposit. You get written evidence (email) that the landlord only wants a check in an envelope to a certain address. If you have certified postage the onus is on the landlord to prove the envelope was empty. After all they could have given you a bank account number or a way to give cash in hand.
I seriously doubt you can evict tenants if the only argument is that it's uncertain whether the envelope was empty or not.

Don't post cash, ever.
Money should never leave one hand without a receipt entering the other.
