No. He just presented the marriage certificate like a woman would at the dmv and ss office. It’s a pain no matter who does it, but would have been much more of a pain for me, with more accounts, degrees, publications, etc.

We got married last year and my husband took my last name. It’s so freaking awesome. We can weed out a lot of closeted bigots by their reaction, and gain quick friends who think it is awesome too. Such a simple act that speaks volumes about what we value.

Yeah, if my (theoretical) kids sucked at reading and finally found something that they would sit through and read, I don’t think I’d care if was the Penthouse forum as long as they were finally reading. Granted, I may be skewed as I stumbled upon one of my mother’s “Romance” novels at the age of six. It is strange for…

“Lord, I’m...I’m one step away from using this Savage .30-06 Rifle I just won at the auction to do somethin’ to some liberals that I might end up regrettin’, Lord. Please, a’mighty, give me the strength to resist! Unless you want me to do that. Do you want me to do that, Lord? Did you put that idea into my head? I bet…

This woman, for whatever reason, thought that her best option was to stick a coat hanger into her vagina and hope it caused a miscarriage.

Laws in the U.S.: According to Roe vs. Wade (the big case that made abortion legal), individual states cannot restrict abortion before the point of viability. So generally speaking, you can legally have an abortion until the fetus is capable living outside the womb, which is generally considered to be 24 weeks.

Uhh, your furbabies totally need to change. They can’t wear the same thing every day that my furbabies wear every day.

This is what happens when states are allowed to legislate every step of a completely legal procedure. Abortion is legal? Okay! Let’s shut down every clinic that provides safe abortions, and those who aren’t shut down let’s stand outside and threaten the workers and the patients, and even sometimes kill those workers…

Tell us more about how Muslims want to enslave women, old white men.

I had no idea that dress gave birth to Google Image search! The more you know...

It happens so much.

These two wear the same Damn outfit everyday, and watch whatever the fuck they want to watch on the television. Here they are having just turned off one of Lawrence’s interviews where she talked about farting, trying to understand how Twitter works, and how hard it is for her to date because of the crushing burden of…

As a 34-year-old divorced mother of one, I gotta admit that one stings a little

Yes! That is Otis. He is a beagle/yellow lab/God knows what else rescue. We love the fur off of that boy! Tonight I put the Grinch doggie antler on him and he was so offended. Here is otis, in all of his pissed offness.

Yes! This is why I mostly lurk. I like reading the back and forth of the well known posters and I don’t want to mess up their rhythm, or whatever the best word is, when they get going.

You’re fine. We’re all insecure weirdos in this life. If someone gave you that feedback, I’m glad you thought it over, but I’ve never noticed mansplaining from you. We have had very popular dude-commenters here who everyone lovvvvved and who I avoided because I thought they were weird/creepy/annoying. You are not one…

Personally I love the rapport that the more prominent posters have going right now and I think your posts are part of the dynamic that I enjoy reading. I think it’s healthy to have a variety of people providing insights on issues because our life experiences are so different that we all have something to provide to…

I think part of what you are getting is the general dickishness that St. Liz brought up too. I don’t think you dominate, but I also don’t do a lot of commenting during the week.

That’s the thing about having the approved commenter vs. greys system. A smallish number of people end up being much, much more visible than almost everyone else, and lots of good commenters are stuck in the greys. The only way to make up for this is to go through the replies and pull the good ones out whenever you…

Total honestly is that I really dig your posts. Party on, Wayne :-)
