In that area? Not many.

Absolutely. I grew up on 11 acres in a rural area and you know what? Our neighbors LOVED their annual barn parties/ho downs/hay rides/long weekend get togethers. Hearing music blaring from a nearby farm during the summer was so not uncommon.

I won a juicer as the 3rd prize in a raffle. A day later we got a call back saying that since the first place winner didn't want their prize we could have it. The prize was a 7 day Caribbean cruise for two, airfare from the west coast to Miami included. Yes, we took it.

"On the other hand, there's always an alternative to waiting in line for five hours in Orlando."

I'm working my "dream job" and I'm in my mid-twenties. I wanted this job since high school (though if I'm being honest I actually dreamed of owning the company) and it's exactly as awesome as I imagined it would be. I am incredibly fortunate and am so grateful to get to work on something I'm passionate about with…

Ah, yes. LW1 could be me 10 years ago. My letter would have read, "I don't have any women friends because they're all dumb and like girly things, except I do have one female friend because she likes guy stuff."

And now I laugh just thinking about it.

But as someone who is voluntarily childless who is constantly told by everyone I've ever met that my partner and I are going to die sad and alone if we don't have children I find these studies to be very productive. There's nothing like cold, hard data to make people stop with the unsolicited comments about how empty…

Pinterest is not solely responsible for all wedding trends, it just seems that way because it's probably only place you're exposed to the ideas if you're not actively researching and planning a wedding.

"Also, farts, which are prolly 98% responsible for Terrible Plane Smell, are unavoidable. Especially on planes. There is pretty much literally nothing to be done by passengers about this problem "

I'm a fashion designer, so having a color scheme just makes sense to me. Before I start on any project (personal or professional) I give a lot of thought to color, so my wedding wasn't any different. Hell, even my apartment has a color palette.

Both of these things are issues, but PETA is not the be-all-end-all of animal rights and activism. Not everyone is cool with their lazy, ineffective excuse for "activism".

The horses my family owned when I was growing up were very well cared for and loved. That doesn't mean that today I can't recognize that using horses for transportation and entertainment is unnecessary and wrong.

They'll put that stuff in anything. Paper towels, for example.

Most mainstream brands of condoms such as Trojan and Durex aren't vegan. They contain milk byproducts.

And yes, I have done hours and hours of research and discussed it Paragard with my doctor because I wanted one very badly for years. I am well versed regarding the side effects.

At what point did I say Essure didn't have documented side effects? I was pointing out that your claim that there is no need for Essure because *you* had a copper IUD and didn't experience side effects was flawed.

It seems like you don't actually know if a doctor would advise a woman with a history of severe cramping not to get Essure. I've seen no evidence to suggest that it's been a problem for many women, but I will admit I can't know that for sure.

Women who have a history of severe cramping are often advised against the copper IUD. My doctor wouldn't let me get one.

I envision this backfiring and a guest RSVPs to the fake destination wedding last minute. Sitcom-like shennanigans ensue.

Odds are if you aren't a super close friend or family member they don't actually care if you attend. Common folk are often advised thay having a destination weddings is a sneaky way to be able to invite everyone to your wedding so no one is offended, but only wind up having a handful of folks show up.
