My parents planned my grandparents’ 50th anniversary party. They figured open bar wouldn’t be worth it, because half the guests were old and almost everyone was coming from out of town. So they went with a “pay-per-drink” option.

Thank you! It’s regrettably in a box in my closet at the moment. I still need to find a way to display it so that my real-life cats don’t knock over their clay counterparts!

This makes me feel better about my very lopsided bridal party! My husband has a million brothers and guy friends, I have very few close girlfriends, and neither of us have sisters. I could have asked some of my female cousins to be bridesmaids but I’m not close with them and they would totally know they’d only be…

girl, this. I’ve stopped shaving my legs (on and off the last few years, trying to commit to it this year) but sometimes I’m not 100% comfortable with everyone seeing/judging me so maxi dresses have been a lifesaver this season! fuck pants, it’s 80 degrees out!

Omg this picture is breaking my heart someone go adopt this kitten NOW

Yeah, I wasn’t sure because I kind of zone out every time there’s a scene with her and Don. He bores me, she bores me. More Sterling and Peggy Show, please!

I have a bad feeling that Cersei is not going to live to see the next season (not a book reader—no spoilers plz). She is one of my favorite characters because Lena Headey is so goddamn delightful.

I think all of her money is $500k, so she’d leave with $250k because jerkface told her 50 cents on the dollar or some shit. Idk, I was too busy hating him at that moment.

I think the theme for Don this season, is that he’s realizing he’s not special anymore. And also that he’s getting old. I think almost every episode there is somoene reminding him he’s old. Megan a few episodes back, Sally, Diana (at some point maybe?) and Betty last night.

Kept fucking him ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Aw that’s probably it! I wonder if Helen’s got good snacks, like dunkaroos or cosmic brownies. The kind of stuff other kids try to trade their fruit and granola bars for at lunch (thanks for nothing, mom!) (jk I forgive you mom).

Trying to insert confused eagle gif here but it’s not working.

Totally understandable! I’m looking forward to reading your review of Vegan Cuts! Maybe I’ll make the switch too if Petit Vour continues not to wow me.

There is, and it’s only getting worse. My MIL is going to a wedding this year and the bride has a registry AND a honeymoon fund registry, and according to my MIL, the guests are expected to get a gift from the regular registry and give to the honeymoon fund for just the bridal shower alone. Also, I learned that gifts…

Agree 100% (even though some people seem to be taking my comment as me condoning asking for money somehow? Idk.) “Honey funds” make me so mad. Ew.

I have a friend who would fucking love that... whatever it is!

I would never condone specifically asking for money. But giving cash as a wedding gift is the norm where I live. Asking IS tacky, but I never said otherwise.

Yes, it is enough! I have thanked every single person for attending my wedding—gift or no gift, and I’m hoping other people that aren’t jerkfaces have done the same after their weddings. Of course it’s nice for someone to give a gift no matter what it is.

You’re right. I’m from NJ so this is the tradition here. I wasn’t thinking of other cultures and only speaking from my experience, which is sometimes a mistake. I have to remind myself of that more in the future before I make comments. :)

I don’t agree with it, either. Many of the cards that came with my bridal shower gifts were signed from both the woman in attendance AND her husband/boyfriend/partner/etc. I wanted to have a co-ed bridal shower, but my family was against it. It’s bad enough I had to defend myself over and over for not taking my…
