There's definitely a logic to that...you can't hang out with the all-night-party-teens if your parents are super strict. However, that sounds kind of like anecdotal evidence. I can offer an anecdote of my own and draw the conclusion that kids band together for common interests, despite parenting styles. My own

I wish I could star this a hundred times because it cuts right through the idealism. I only brought out the anecdotes from Shark Tank, lol.

Out of curiosity, ever watch Shark Tank? Just something to ponder if you've seen it. I've watched a lot of episodes- the first 4 seasons- and these modern day moguls seem to have wildly different opinions, styles of investing, and ways of sussing out if an idea is worth green-lighting. But they generally agree on a

It looks like a solar-powered spaceship that landed on an old stone building. Not well integrated at all.

I recommended this comment for the emergency slides.

Thanks for this. When I was in Northern Michigan it was like a regional anthem :)

Is that what happened to that show? I thought they pulled the plug when one of them was arrested (for the Bling Ring) while filming...maybe she plea-bargined her way out and they continued making the show until crack showed up?

I don't know why the end part of your story really struck a nerve, heh. I'm all....A head pat? Really? Your friend has never been in a situation where there was a term or slang for something that was unfamiliar to him? I guess he doesn't travel much.

Yeah, and those people waaay back in the 80's must be collecting social and have one foot in the grave, lol.

What, no steak on a stake then?!

It's possible, but I saw the "fallen angel" photo, and it's very mature looking. She looks anywhere from 18-21 (not that it makes it ok that she's actually a minor), so probably too "old" for his tastes.

I was going to roll it back even further to 1988, but I didn't go to very many weddings in the late 90's so I defer to you.

I gave you a star for your mum's mad baking skillz. I am really curious about this castle cake you speak of :)

Yep. One of my friends got married in small town Michigan five years ago (so during the worst of the recession) and thought 10k would be *plenty*. She ended up going a little over and cut a lot of corners (cheap wine, no pro-photographer, etc). I think if she could do it over, she would have cut the guest list and
