I read articles in which the friend (who tried to prevent her from continuing to party) stated that they split a bottle of vodka. The victim also continued to drink beer.

The second game allows you to choose gender in the second generation after your character has a child. That child then grows up to be teenager-ish and is allowed to court other characters' kids for a fake wedding that they perform.

I'll chime in with the Rune Factory love. It combines Harvest Moon's farming/animal husbandry and romance gameplay with traditional roleplaying elements.

Every time I see his name, I think of this track. I remember reading djpretzel's enthusiasm when it was posted in 2004/5/whenever.

My pleasure! Good luck to you and many felicitations.

It's unfortunate. We ran into an issue a few years back where one of his myriad cousins got married and he wasn't able to attend because she was wed outside of a church. I think that he showed up for the reception (I was sailing at the time, so I wasn't there myself), but it still was a bit disheartening for him.

I encourage everyone I meet to use some combination of AdBlock and NoScript (or similar addons). Not only does it drastically improve the end-user experience, it also prevents nasty little scripts from running that would have adverse effects on your computer.

I've never really thought much ahead to my wedding, even when I was engaged some years ago. There is only the assumption that I'll most likely have a Mass, if only because my uncle is a Roman Catholic priest and he can't attend unless the wedding is performed in a church.

"... I've started receiving flyers in my mail for wedding dress stores (is there a word for those?) ..."

The tampon itself shouldn't ever be flushed, even if it says that it can on the box (never seen that myself!). It can cause a blockage and additional tampons can build up over time. There's also the concern that they won't be broken down in the septic tank, even if biodegradable.

But realizing this wouldn't allow people to draw conclusions that can then be used to be skeptical of the story or respond with condemnation!

This is brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.

I hate to be that person, but the gear tagged as being for women is frightfully anemic. There are only four items listed.

I had the opposite problem. We once correlated a teacher's attitude (good or bad) based on how revealing a shirt of any girl in the front of the class was. The more he could see, the easier class went. I remember that a group of girls arranged a schedule that determined who would wear a low-cut shirt on each day of…

I suddenly wish to acquire one and seek how the ferrets interact with it.

My pleasure, sir. Enjoy!

I've yet to have ever had a Twinkie. I guess that there's time to have one now, if I ever choose to do so!

I think that he meant something along these lines (and it does describe the Troubled Families Unit outlined in the article), but he worded it so poorly. The goal is early intervention for families that exhibit certain criteria in order avoid the possibility of future problematic generations.

Agreed!

If I remember correctly, there's a larger mobile gaming market in Japan. Companies are more likely to gain a profit there than, say, in the States where console/PC gaming is still very prevalent.
