Happy Saturday fellow Jezzies! This is my first Saturday Social post (I seem to forget about it, but I always like reading it on Sunday.) I guess I’m looking for some advice/support.

Okay - hopefully I’ll catch the eyes of some people reading and get some advice. My friend’s wedding is next weekend. We’re pretty close, but not incredibly close. I’m spending a fair amount to attend, but I have a really good job and can afford it. When I called her to catch up, I asked her what she would prefer and

My boyfriend who I had not seen in 4 months met me at the airport. I had mentioned that I had always wanted someone to meet me at a plane with roses, but no one ever had. He said he didn’t really do flowers and wouldn’t do it because he wouldn’t know what to buy. I was so disappointed. Then I get to the airport. And

Wait - how did they get access to the meme? I thought they shunned technology...

I always approve of the donkey option. Everyone should always take the donkey option. I will have a donkey option at my wedding. Of course, that’s going to be in Morocco where they are almost as common as the stray cats, but still. Donkey Option for ALL!

While I appreciate the idea of this, there seems to be some odd information thrown in here. For example, some of the brands seem to be owned by smaller companies - not giant conglomerates. 6.1million in sales per year isn’t actually that huge of a market. Also, there was at least one (Green Mountain) that isn’t

American Samoa gets a lot more in federal money than it pays in taxes, and it all goes into highly corrupt leaders on the island. They don’t want to become a state or their own country because those in power have it much better under this system.

Can someone explain the romper phenomenon to me? I mean, between this and jumpsuits, I feel like fashion has decided the best thing we can do is have to get naked every time we need to pee. And then it would get on the floor and get gross when you're at a festival. What is the point?

Much better than North Dakota.

I wanted to add a different one because I think this is something many women face -

Two examples. First was from my previous job, where my direct manager was a nice guy and thought he was all enlightened but would constantly say vaguely sexist things. Like how a woman who worked for a government agency was probably a lesbian because she rode a motorcycle. Or how anything that his wife did was cute,

Myth:

I am noticing that so many people have a similar story - breaking up with an ex and then the ex asks you to marry them. As though that would change your mind. "Wow, I didn't want to spend another minute dating you, but I will totally spend the rest of my life with you!" No, that never works. Even.

I'm not orthorexic. I'm allergic to crispy/crunchy/I don't remember because I've been drinking...

Really? Zada Quinby? You couldn't get a little more creative with the name? I'm almost disappointed. Or was the author worried that the type of person who would read this would also be too stupid to get the reference if they made up a whole new name? Actually, I think I just answered my own question.

I'm of the firm belief that if you're not the one preparing the meal, you don't get a vote. But it sounds like you like your family more than I like mine ;)

Now I just really want a winged phallus necklace like the Romans had. Those things were awesome!

We've done apps/tapas every year for XMas eve. It was a lot easier with people wanting to get together but not really having the time/energy for a sit down meal. It makes it really easy to socialize. But we're a super small family and people only go to one place for the holiday, so it may not translate so well for

Mine is now a lawyer. But the worst part is that he dumped me after we'd dated about 3 months and did so via email. I know we were apart for the summer, but I got mono, he thought I had cheated on him (I didn't, and I have no idea why someone in college would be surprised by someone getting mono via shared drink),

$89 for Sweatpants?! Even for shade-throwing, that seems too expensive.
