Me too. I lost my best friend because he married someone like that.

That's horrifying.

I don't want to be identified, so I won't go into much detail, except that it was incredibly public. I had previously made some flip comment about wanting "everyone" to be there to witness it—meaning all our close friends and family. He took it very, very literally. I am shy and have anxiety issues, and I was…

As someone who ended up with a viral marriage proposal, I endorse this wholeheartedly. The second time around it was on a boat dock in a park, just the two of us and the moon, and it was MUCH better.

Dang!

If you hate it here so much, you know where the door is.

Ok. Generally? No. I tend to take assault victims' word for it. The difference is that the overwhelmingly vast majority are not here accusing anyone by name, especially not someone very famous.

Exactly. After Xenogears, I didn't play another rpg for 5 years because I knew nothing could live up to it, even considering its limitations. Could be one of the best games ever made if they'd fix the second disc.

What the fuck is this dry wedding bullshit?

Pretty hard if you're short. Tall people may be able to sit upright at 90 degrees for hours but because of where the headrest is, I have to recline and use blankets to even get to that.

*unless you're pear shaped. Then you look like you've put on 30 lbs. If you don't believe me, let's go to Macys and I will prove it. You can keep them!

YES. The only thing skinny jeans do for me is raise my disposable income level—I've given up on buying jeans at all. I'm just going to ride it out in my years old boot cuts until this does finally pass.

um, possibly because most Disney princesses are underage?

You missed one of the worst ones-Halloween. Every August, I have a great idea for a costume I could assemble for $10 from thrift stores and ebay. And every October 30th, I'm standing in some crowded pop-up store with $100 worth of costume-no-one-else-wanted.

Some of the girls were from a bar.

Yeah. At no point do I ever consider 4 inch heels a component of a SAHM day off. Or day on for that matter. Hell, they're not part of my day off and I don't have kids!

Fuck. This cinches it; I am never having children. People watching for you to mess up at every turn, usually concerning things that won't even affect the child. This plus the "mommy wars" ... Nopenopenope. We will have dogs and money instead, thanks.

I'm not sure I'd be sacrificing quality of life of my children any less than if I'd had kids out of wedlock working a part time job and going to school in my early 20s. Even if I had had a husband or partner to share the responsibility, working essentially two jobs and worrying constantly about money would not a…

This sounds like it would be a great solution to some problems we are having, but I am not very savvy. Any good online resources on how to set up a system like that? I wouldn't even know what to Google.

except that anyone I have ever known who has worked as a delivery driver actually has made at least minimum wage, usually with mileage. If you don't think that's enough, you need to talk to Congress, not us.
