I was as well. It is a sobering thought that, after a certain age, it is all over forever. I do sometimes miss my old life, but since I had my son I have become more fiscally responsible, I drink less and wake up earlier, and I'm more considerate of others' feelings. Plus, I have a delightful little munchkin. Overall,…

I went to one like that. Reception over the dinner hour, except the only food served was a "dessert buffet." It was disgusting. Who thinks that these are good ideas???

One of my friends went to one of those. I guess the bride (or groom?) was a recovering 12 stepper. She said that there was some horrible "my most embarrassing moments" type of drinking game with a non-alcoholic sugary punch drink, and a weird moralizing lecture about alcohol's evils. She said it was one of the worst…

And there are people who like astrology who aren't anti-vaxx, and anti-vaxxers who don't read horoscopes. In fact, lots of the anti-vaxx types are fundamentalist Christians who think astrology is Satanic.

Um, because it's factually true.

You are presenting a slippery slope into some sort of anti-science metaphysical domination. Your reasoning is flawed. The "consequences" you cite are amorphous and unfounded.

Just because YOU think that it is stupid, which is okay, doesn't mean it is harmful.

This is a slippery slope argument for which there is zero evidence.

Astrology isn't trying to get evolution out of school curricula.

The Illuminati thing seems like a deliberate aesthetic choice at this point.

Agree. Fried ice cream is lovely, but they ruined it with that positively obscene burger-thing.

Now that's using your thinker!

They are so jittery, too! Why not a hamster?

Seriously, try not to do this.

Thank you for this. I agree. It is disturbing to see all of these commenters emotionally manipulated into supporting the death penalty by salacious crime reporting.

Don't forget botox/plastic surgery! It rarely ages well.

Nah, mocking elective prosthetics doesn't count as body snarking. I believe that this issue was hashed out and resolved in the Real Housewives Crying through Botox article comments.

They probably have hired help.

Agree. And it's working!

This is such an annoying practice. At my rehearsal dinner, the restaurant added the 18% gratuity fee on top of a $1,000 bill. Then, the person who picked up the check awkwardly mentioned and gestured to the "additional gratuity" line below that.
