Double truth. A wedding is a social mine field. I didn't have any bridesmaids at my DIY super casual thing, accept my best friends who were flying across the country sort of understood themselves to be bridesmaids anyway and bugged the heck out of me until I approved their outfits, and then one of them, when I…

Not in Washington State! (No idea where this takes place.)

It doesn't help that so many people act like your vegetarian diet is a huge affront and burden to them. I can eat french fries and a side salad pretty much anywhere. Chill out.

I can't find the episode number or a clip, but there is a segment of BEavis and Butthead where they teach you how to make yourself pass out by breathing in a certain way. I was fourteen and sitting cross-legged on the floor with a diet coke can in front of me. Of course I tried it. That's how I got the one inch scar…

I went that route as well (keg, bottles of wine and bubbly, no bar) and everyone always tells me mine was the best wedding ever. I also went the DIY route, so everything was very chill. Bought my flowers from Pike Market for $100 (bouquets and reception flowers). Had musical friends bring instruments and let them jam…

Sorry your week sucked. Your comment reminded me of a discussion I had earlier this week, though. Douchebag going on about all women this and that; would not accept it's just like saying all (insert race here) people this or that. Dude abhors racism but he's just fine and dandy with being sexist.

Physics. Nothing moves without a catalyst. Nothing moves without a force being exerted upon it. Most cultures throughout time have understood the initial force or catalyst under the philosophical umbrella God. If you're uncomfortable calling it God, call it whatever you want. Physics proves there must be an original…

No, I agree humans made up religion to explain the explainable. God didn't make up religion. If humans didn't exist, and there were no religions, there still might be a God.

Good point. I tried to change my name to my middle name when I was eleven and my parents refused to go along. They did a lot of things to squelch my grabs at shaping my own identity. Want to play violin? Too bad, we bought a piano. Want to play soccer? No, you need to play tennis. Want to join the school band? The…

I agree. People make religions (and make religions up) to fit whatever agenda or cultural situation they need, and that sucks. It doesn't mean God doesn't exist.

Sometimes you have to say "I don't love you anymore" or he/she doesn't hear it. Sometimes you have to say it so that YOU hear it. If you can't say it, maybe it's not time?

There's no reasoning with these people. I commented on a ridiculously offense Facebook post on the same topic and got reamed out for 'starting a political debate' by replying to his post. He actually said if I wanted a political debate, I should post on my on thread.

He doesn't want to do the dishes. He wants to make it easier for you to just do it.

People are surprisingly malleable. Unless she's a shut in, just make an excuse every time she wants to see the baby that has her coming to your house. You don't want to wake him to put him in the car, stuff like that. It might be months or even years before she notices the baby never comes to her house. I understand…

I am intrigued to hear that someone knows a guy with this affliction. I feel like a bad feminist bringing it up, but it really does seem like a girl thing. Based on my anecdotal experience.

Can we talk about

Ha! One year my family decided to draw names, everyone's responsible for one present and no one can spend more than 50 dollars. Everyone gave everyone else a $50 check.

I hear you. Last year, after I lost 20lbs and was finally back in a medium, my MIL gave me a 2X poncho sweater. This year I'm pregnant and she gives me medium everything. I swear.

I made this for our Christmas dinner and it was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD.

The teacher pulled me aside after class and thanked me, and that was the moment I learned that some lies are okay.
