Alas, my pockets don't run that deep, and I don't hold a grudge. My older female relatives, on the other hand...

I love being from a family of New York Italian-Americans: Cash. Cash for everyone. Oh, you have a registry? Okay. Here, have a check. Use it on your honeymoon, your down payment on a house or your fondue set.

Plus, it makes holding grudges so much easier when you can see that Aunt Gina only gave your granddaughter $50…

My aunt and uncle held their attendance hostage until I allowed thier 18 year old daughter to bring her boyfriend of 3 months. Cousin didn't even ask me, she asked my mother who had to relay it to me. I guess she assume that my parents were paying for the wedding even though my husband and I were listed as the hosts…

I didn't have one. Instead, I grabbed my sister and flew up to NYC where my other three bridesmaids lived. My sister, SIL and I went and saw Newsies and then went to an awesomely cheeses tourist reap restaurant and ate ALL the sushi.

Wait, are Amber necklaces a thing? My anti vaxxer friend from high school has amber necklaces for her kids. I didn't know they were a thing?

I came here to say that! He was my first Hercules, although KevinSirbo will always be the best.

Every time a Jezebel writer uses "animorph" as a verb, it makes my heart sing.

Those percentages on bonus stars don't seem right. Shouldn't it be 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25%?

I have heard Butterfly Kisses used a lot. There's no creativity there—it's the easy song to pick with little or no thought into the actual lyrics because everyone knows that it is a song about dads and daughters.

But I am a terrible person who judges my friends' weddings and their choices for father-daughter and…

This. When my friends and family came to me to tell me that they, too, had miscarried, it helped so much. My doctor is wonderful, but hearing from other women helped me cope so much more than hearing about the biology and frequency.

Yup. I had a miscarriage at 10-weeks, but it's too late: I'm on all the mailing lists.

I lost a group of college friends I had known since freshman year over this. They didn't want to take sides—but ended up doing just that. Good riddance.

Everyone I worked with knew it was illegal for the owner to do that. Didn't stop the owner, and we would rather be short than unemployed. Fortunately, if the owners weren't there, the managers just deleted the meals.

I am disappointed about the missed opportunity to talk about what happens when you order a happy meal with extra happy.
