Serious. All you can train a cat to do is to only engage in the behavior when you're not around or looking. Which, I mean, is something, but not exactly what you wanted.

When we got married 21 years ago, there were not a lot of home computers or printers. My fiance (now husband) was finishing art school, and insisted he could make the invitations and print them at his fancy school. He had to have handmade, acid-free paper ordered from Seattle (we were in L.A.) which he then…

I don't think crazy doily lady is so crazy, either. She's ordering something where design is crucial - if it weren't, she could save a ton of money and print something quick out on her own. I don't think it's unreasonable of her to want the exact design she chose or the option to cancel the order rather than the…

I agree. And there is definitely a difference between pretty lace AND fugly lace doily pattern. Also I bet she paid a fuckload for them, so there is that. #teamdoilylady

I feel like "threatening legal action" is a bit cray, but on the other hand, it is true that she asked for a specific design and got something...not that. So I also empathize on that count. Although I can tell the difference, I wouldn't care, they're both nice (not my style, but nice - I would be fine with a similar…

am i the only one who thinks that maybe the crazy doily lady isn't so crazy?

The invitations to my November 2001 wedding were mailed on September 10, 2001. The wedding venue? Windows on the World.

Agreed. There was a big difference in quality. It wouldn't make or break your wedding, but it seemed like a price difference should be involved.

The vendor should have told the bride, "Hey, we ran out of the doilies you liked. Here are some other options, so pick one, and I'll cut 20% off the cost of doing the remaining ones." That's how you fix a screw up as a vendor.

Ok, I'm a bit outraged on your aunt's behalf. I just.... WHO THINKS THIS IS AN APPROPRIATE THING TO DO?! Without asking?! Why do weddings turn everyone into crazy people?

This didn't happen to me exactly, but it's still pretty awesome. So my aunt was getting married (c.1982), a few years before I existed, and her wedding color was a light mauve. She picked out nice mauve invitations with dark text which were surprisingly elegant considering it was the early 80s. She gave them to her…

This was relatively minor, but made me feel like a bridezilla.

When our wedding invitations arrived, I carefully proofread — which I had actually done when I ordered them, FYI — to make sure everything was kosher. I'm an editor and my husband is a writer, so this isn't something we fuck around with.

My fiance's middle name was misspelled. Instead of "Lawrence," it was…

Where I am on the East Coast, prices are probably 40% higher—figure $2.50 for a 8' 2x4 and $8.50 for a sheet of OSB. And that is with shitty warped 2x4s. So I'm guessing $70 is probably a better estimate.

2 sheets of 4x8 7/16 OSB, 16 8' 2x4s, and a box of deck screws.

I agree. I built pretty much the exact same shelves last year, with only 3 levels, and the lumber cost roughly $70. That didn't even account for the fasteners since I used my nail gun and a case of nails I already had.

Under $50? I'm at work so I can't watch the vid but it seems like last time I was in Lowes a 14' 2x4 was around $12 USD. Seems like it would be much closer to $100, maybe I missed something.

I'm somewhat amused that people here are so quick to dismiss women's—because, come on, this is about moms—ability to make medical decisions.

I don't have kids, but as someone who has had a bad allergic reaction to a shot, I would be scared to give my child a lot at once just because if there is a reaction, it would be harder to pinpoint what it was. Is this a completely baseless thing to be concerned about?

If you're in So Cal, you should have started sowing in October or so, you never stop planting here.
