Mixed feelings about that whole “General caring” thing. On the one hand, I think there are lots of things people could stand to care less about, including me. And I have enjoyed just letting go of a lot of that shit as I’ve gotten older, worrying less about what strangers think of me, or whether my life matches up…

Or if she had been injured in another manner at home, and decided to go to a place where she knew they’d be throwing things around, so she could claim it happened there and then sue.

Yes! I’m 26, and I can’t stand it when my friends pull that shit. Oh, you’re too “old” to stay out past 7pm on a weekend night? No, the correct term is LAME.

I’m also in my sixties, and except for one or two things, it’s pretty cool.

I have been known to walk off the karaoke stage and immediately out the door. I love to sing but can only take so much of the other bar patrons.

Ignoring anti-social or stupid behavior in public. If you are standing in front of the door on the bus when there are places to sit, I will yell at you. If you wait in a long bar line and then ask the bar tender for samples of multiple beers, I will pointedly offer to buy you the first one because it’s only $4 and…

I slept on an air mattress once when I was about 13 and it slowly deflated in the night, meaning I woke up lying on a flat piece of plastic. I’ve been suspicious of them ever since.

I am too old for:

- Caring whether a bar or a restaurant is cool.

oh you mean all salads

Abortions are not infused with the power of Voldemort so I think we can call clinics that perform abortions “abortion clinics.”

Well if he’s pulled down signs for the same abortion clinic on multiple occasions, I don’t think it’s very much of a leap to assume that his motivation is related to opposing abortion services. Like that seems an entirely logical conclusion to make.

I’ve been there precisely once and it is pretty clear when yeasty goodness will be flying because the servers roll bread carts out and yell “HOT BUNS!!!”* before dispatching the rolls across the restaurant. IIRC the proper etiquette was to raise your hand and a roll would be thrown to you - they don’t just throw them…

Planned Parenthood has prevented more abortions by providing birth control and women’s healthcare than any jackass right wing group ever has. Fuck those jerks.

Me too! I think she actually has a reasonable attitude toward wedding planning and I feel terrible when people jump up her ass for not having a Lentil Wedding in a burned out trailer wearing her pajamas.

4 of those items can be excused as alternately useful to whimsically extravagant.

“Pentel? Is that Scottish?”

Fun story: Somewhere I have a pen from my cousin’s wedding with their names printed on it, and getting it at the reception was actually the first time I knew what her now-husband’s last name is

This looks like something WeePiglet made in Pre-K. “Awww, that’s so nice, Sweetie! You’re good at beads.”

We broke a Wedding Rule by not having favors/bonbonniere at our back yard wedding. I looked at a few options but they were expensive for what they were, a bit useless and would most likely be left on the tables at the end of the night. Instead we threw loads of cash towards food and booze and everyone had a great time.
