I came here to stump for pozole! My New Mexican tia makes the beeeeeest pozole. Fabulous for chilly autumn evenings.

;) I was confused!

Seriously do it. If you can make it to a live screening, so much the better. — Actually, no. Here's what you do. First, get tipsy and watch it at home, hopefully with an equally tipsy friend or two, and revel in its badness. Then go to a live screening and MARVEL at everything ridiculous you missed but are having…

Right, that was my point, though I didn't mention anything about Mexico specifically. I assumed you were speaking of Latin American cultures. Were you referring to the indigenous Franks?

Yeah, it's silly to pretend like any widely practiced cultural activity or observance is "pure" in its origins, especially in today's world. People adopt, adapt, and synthesize beliefs and rituals constantly. And that's okay.

Celebrating All Saint's Day on Nov. 1 dates back at least to the 800s in Europe, so it's a stretch to say that the idea of the holiday was lifted from indigenous peoples. It's not an uncommon human instinct to celebrate the beloved dead.

Mm, the actual word "Halloween" is legitimately a contraction of All Hallow's Eve(n). But to claim that the holiday itself is not deeply influenced/a co-opting of Samhain is dumb.

Our "great-aunt Mildred"s were, in actuality, mostly aunts, uncles, and cousins scattered across the country who'd not had the good fortune to happen to be at the same family gatherings that our spouses-to-be were. They are generally very internet-literate and enjoyed the website. We didn't use any slang or inside…

Ha! Well, make no mistake, it's still self-indulgent, and we were still mortified about the whole thing. It always feels ridiculous to have to talk yourself up, whether for online dating, a resume, or a wedding website. But we chalked it up to #doingitforfamily.

It's kind of a law that after you make the switch to a menstrual cup you have to RAVE ABOUT IT TO EVERYBODY WITH TERRIFYING EVANGELISM so I'm just doing my part.

As a wee lass trying tampons for the first time this almost turned me off them forever, because it didn't feel right and I panicked and pulled it out and it felt like I was being shredded from the inside. I cried and didn't touch a tampon for like five years after that, which is sad, because pads are the worst.

I've never had an issue. If I really have to strain for some reason (lol), I might readjust slightly afterwards for comfort. But I never have leakage or anything close to full-on expulsion.

Oh, no, not at all! Just giving some context in which that section might actually be useful — doesn't sound like it would be in yours. And I guarantee there are a million "About Us"s out there that serve no practical purpose and are disgustingly twee. One trend that I've seen going around is to have the other…

I mean, it's your website. Do whatever feels useful/appropriate! For us, who had a whole bunch of family members flying in from all over who had never met the non-family partner, it seemed weird not to at least provide some kind of background. But again — that was us and what felt comfortable four our situation. If…

For us, the "about the couple" was purely to give some background for extended relatives who might not have had an opportunity to meet the spouse-to-be. So I guess it wasn't so much "about the couple" as it was "about each half of the couple," I suppose. We just wanted great-aunt Mildred from Wisconsin to feel less…

Our closet is totally full (without exaggeration; we have to throw clothes out if we buy new ones because it's absolutely packed, though neat and well organized. The top shelf is filled with storage units and boxes up to the ceiling). So is under the bed. We have a small two-person breakfast table that folds up…

Where am I going to put a sewing machine in my two-person studio apartment? It's hard enough finding a place for an ironing board!

Wish I could promote this out of the greys, because you're 100% right. I would bet fifty bucks that the line Angela quotes nastily ("If you call this number and tell them what happened, I'm sure they can help you out") was in fact a huge, flashing I'm not able to give you something for free. If you call this number…

I hate Pnina Tornai. Haaaaaate. Wtf is this slutty Miss Havisham getup? NO.

Nooooooooooooooooooooo
