I'm sure she's just wondering whether it'll be Dr. Voight or President Voight or Professor Voight or Lord Voight or Lady Voight or something of the sort ;)

Yuck. My mother was obsessing about my marriage prospects when I was about 6. Not good. Don't do this.
"Miss Voight for now... wonder what her last name will be in the future?"
I have an excellent marriage—stick with me, I have a point—and after reading this I believe being from an identical class has a lot to do with it. Both of our families struggled when we were young, but through successful family businesses became solidly upper-middle class. Except that he finished his higher education…
Planned Parenthood does more to prevent abortions than conservatives do because Planned Parenthood treats the cause by working to prevent unplanned pregnancy. That is part of what conservatives really hate about PP. They also don't like that PP can help reduce the number of poor single mothers by reducing unplanned…
"I vetoed Planned Parenthood funding five times out of the New Jersey budget."
Republican math: Fewer Tests = Fewer Positive Results. QED, STIs are declining!!1!
Really rich people inherit quality furniture, so nothing matches because it was all bought in different generations. My mother has three generations of wedding china that she washes in the dishwasher when she has big parties and uses it all.
Last night my SO and I were talking about a lot of this. Our relationship not only has a big class divide but a racial one as well. His parents are Indian immigrants and they were poor for some of his childhood, but they've done very well for themselves now and own multiple homes, in nice neighborhoods, and…
I went to a very high end private college and the exposure to the rich people's lifestyle was a real shock to me. They knew brands and places I had never heard of.
This happens with me (lower - super lower - class roots) and my boyfriend (upper middle class roots) pretty frequently. We just had such different experiences growing up. He went to summer camp and private school, he got a car for his 16th birthday, his parents paid his college tuition and later on his rent.
In addition, it's weird to be a person who is cross-class. I say this as someone who was low-middle class for the first 6-8 years of my life, and then became middle class after my dad got a new job, and then upper-middle class when we moved to a place with lower housing costs, and better schools. In my experience it's…
So, I come from a family of doctors and attorneys and such. Not stupid rich, but definitely on the more comfortable side.
I dated a rich Jewish boy for around 8 months nearly 5 years ago now. It was the first time I ever went to a country club or saw the inside of swanky downtown apartments. In hindsight, I spent so much time in that relationship feeling bad about my body and my life due to offhand comments he would never intend to be…
Keep an eye out for LiLo's new pearl earring line. It will be a limited release of about 3,000 pairs.
In the actual RAD program, they spend a full day on physical defense strategies, sort of like a crash course in martial arts defense, and the culminating experience is to spar against an actual police officer (in heavy padding).
Rape prevention course for women: 80 pages of most ineffectual, paranoia-inducing tips that won't help anyway.
Pretty much.
