Agree. There was someone who didn’t come to my sister’s wedding, who we know was planning on making it since she and my sister communicated about transportation before the wedding. I’m assuming something happened with her (the guest’s) kid. I don’t even know that my sister noticed her absence in the excitement for…

Yeah, this is ridiculous. The caterer I am working with (guys!! I am getting married in 23 days!) actually assumes a few people won’t come and charges for total RSVPs-x. He’s basically the go-to kosher caterer in the area, so he’s basically done weddings for everyone whose there and knows the guest list, so we trust…

My mom does this with e-mails or imessages and it has totally gotten worse with wedding planning. “Did you see the image I just sent you?” “no” “well look, now.” “I can’t because it’s on my phone and you just called me on my phone” (we both have Verizon, so it’s not like her Internet works while on a phone call, and…

This is totally nitpicking but the oldest synagogue is in RI. Maybe this is the oldest continuously operating?

I just sent one to the Obamas! I will report back if I hear back, though I hear it takes a while.

In the one picture I have of me in my dress from the store, I look like I am going to pass out. It was the last of SO MANY I tried on, and I was having no moment beyond, ARE WE DONE. WHY ARE YOU TAKING A PICTURE

I discovered it randomly and have not met anyone else who has seen it!

She probably technically has to apply, and it would be bad form to just announce where she is planning on going before acceptances go out, but she totally can just choose a school, right? No school is going to say “no” to her.

And in the Victorian era even MORE people didn’t follow their dreams because, as she put it “They kn[e]w the world is a cruel place for anyone who doesn’t fit into the dominant culture” and the dominant culture was white, male, and wealthy. Didn’t fit into all three? Shit out of luck. I mean, I know it’s still like…

This is what I was thinking the whole time I read that essay. I just kept thinking “how can you be nostalgic for a time when it was SO BAD for SO MANY people?” For a way more fun and cynical “living in other eras” attempt I highly highly reccomend the show The Supersizers Go. Each epiosode the two hosts —a food critic…

BUT BUT! It’s a country that belongs to white people! I mean that’s totally 100% true since the country was just empty of any people when white people arrived here. Right?

It’s not that I WANT to take down the country, it’s just that it’s in my biology. I can’t help it, I was born this way, with the bent on destruction switch stuck on on :-/ (and as soon as I type this, I get paranoid that someone is going to think I’m serious. I’m NOT)

Hahah! Dooo it. Or here:

Confession: I signed up for three Pottermore accounts until I got sorted into Ravenclaw

The other thing is, if he knows he’s goign to get it for free, why bother making them ring it up in the cheapest way?

I did ONLY AFTER troll was ungreyed by someone else, so now troll’s comments are ungreyed, but mine are grey. Can someone help with that? Troll comment has also been starred :-(

Well you are out of the grays, so I may as well respond.

Ah. I'm less confused now

Wait, it's not a chain thing? I mean is Dunking mom and pop? (He still should have said thanks)

Depends on your lead time, the dress, and the fabric. I am having sleeves added and we bought extra lace applique, hem lace, and tulle from the designer/manufacturer, and that seemed like something most places would do. David’s Bridal won’t because they want you to do alterations in house. (This is the dress I am…
