Have you tried yoga? There are energizing practices as well as relaxing. You don't even have to do more than 15-20 min, just a few sun salutations or whatnot.

I think a wedding(s) should be personal to you and your partner. You should absolutely do what fits you, that's the only way you will feel ultimately satisfied! Plus I think you'd want to start your married life on your own terms.

And that is why you should learn to selectively delete your browsing history...! Haha.

Lord, I would say no too if I was proposed to on a jumbotron. Great point - the proposal (whether by him or her or whomever) is a great place to see whether your partner actually knows you. If they propose in a way that just does not reflect your personality or tastes, then maybe marriage isn't a good idea.

Me too! I do not want to be proposed to in public at all. I have this nightmare thought of him doing it in front of his family, because they're very close. I love his family, don't get me wrong, but I'd really like it to be a private thing.

The i09 article on this study is perfectly clear on those points, so I'm assuming it's just they don't understand how to read scientific papers.

Good thinking. The i09 article on this study is so much more clear on the purpose and methodology!

Jez... please stop trying to write about scientific papers. You're all trying, I know, but please stop.

Ya sure. It burned pretty bad for the first two weeks, and then after that it was okay. After that nothing happened for about 8 weeks (some weeks were even worse). Then just one day, they started disappearing. I don't really know exactly, just one day my left jawline had none left, and then the right side cleared up…

No real advice or stories but I've been thinking of how to reconcile similar issues in my relationship. You are so brave!

Yep - Tactuo (in Canada) or Epiduo (US). That stuff will make your face worse for 4-8 weeks but after that - clear sailing. I've had adult cystic acne for years and finally got rid of it with Tactuo. I still get the occasional zit but this stuff will get rid of it OVERNIGHT basically. The best!

Hahaha omg, I spit out my soup, thanks!

Thanks!

After one year, we're finally making money on our small business! (Not much but...it's happening!) Yay! In your face, doubters.

"We should never underestimate the ability of small-minded people to surprise us with their lack of perspective."

I could have written your post 3 years ago, word for word. Struck out with the ladies every time because I was bi. Went through roughly 300 million dates before finding the one that stuck! I have no real advice because, like a crazy person, I just kept trying the same damn thing (OKCupid) over and over until one day…

Then it's not even a well-thought out excuse. How lazy. At least have the decency to think of a good excuse!

I use X-notifier, it's great. I never have to wonder if I have a new email, it tells me right away. I have 5 emails that I need to check, and it tells me which one(s) got the email. All I need to do is click once and I get into the inbox with the new message.

I am so scandalized. HOW IS THIS HAPPENING. I thought red wine was going to take the whole thing.

Oh I'm sorry I assumed you were having greater financial troubles.
