So, I'm a white chick. So white that some makeup brands do not make a foundation pale enough for me. I also have GIANT frizzy head of hair and have been asked to put my hair into a pony tail b/c I was blocking the view of the person behind me. I did not throw a fit about it. I go to the theater quite often and know…

I think they often show people for who they truly are. Some horrible people seem to be able to hold in their horribleness for a while and then feel like they are now free to show their true colors b/c they are super special now that they are getting married.

If someone is offended at their being no bridal party and their exclusion from something that doesn't exist then really who needs them in their life? Having a bridal party just in case someone else might be offended at it seems like the worst reason!

I'm with you. So much less hassle to have had no bridal party at our wedding. Several friends were so grateful for us not doing it and letting them be adults and wear what they wanted and just have fun at the party!

Ya, once I hear "my special day" I stop having any respect for them. My wedding was special to me but I didn't feel the need to mention it to everyone and anyone and justify any sort of behavior.

No, not at all. His personal life is his. If you want to get rid of him then do so only if you are ready to cover all costs he has incurred as a result of your wedding. You owe him for the cost of any rentals, plane tickets, etc... You cannot just fire someone and let them eat the costs they incurred on your behalf.

Just FYI, Jessica Bloch Cohen and Albert... if you're still married I hope you never reproduce b/c no child should ever be subjected to the kind of bullshit you subject others to. Friends are not disposable just because they don't have the money to shower you in parties and gifts.

A friend was "fired" as maid of honor after the bride "Jessica" started making ridiculous demands regarding the bridal shower. The friend "Ann" had a husband who was a caterer and they rented a lovely space in an old house that hosted weddings and had a lovely buffet planned as well as a cooking demonstration from the…

How can the rest of us help this crusade?

Michelle has completely perfected the brain-dead adoration that is required of women who believe in wifely submission. Blech.

could work if everyone is local, but I've organized potlucks and I find that they are exhuasting and confusing and you always end up with a ton of mayo salads and desserts and nothing else (even if people said they were going to bring something else). My advice is keep the guest list as small as possible and find a…

We can't CHOOSE to drive unlicensed or uninsured, for instance. Vaccines are insurance against widespread disease. If you don't want to vaccinate your children then don't breed, that's the choice.

Digital journal is not peer reviewed. Its an internet magazine for libertarians. If you don't know what peer review is then don't use it in a sentence.

Dear Anna S B, if you have a Masters in Education then the higher education standards in this country are seriously getting lax. What are these "non-internet sources" you speak of? Are they recalled articles from Lancet perhaps? Or books written by Jenny McCarthy? How do you teach an immune system to fight off…

Ed Hardy probably tanked because you can only sell so many ridiculously hideous t-shirts to d-bag college boys before they move on to the next silly fad.

The key is to get a husband like mine. At this moment he is cooking dinner and doing the dishes while I study (sort of). He's also the breadwinner while I go back to school b/c I only work part time now. And roles will be reversed when he goes back to school and I support him financially for a while. Marriage is a…
