Yeah, it’s not like any other student organizations on college campuses self-select to create a semi-homogeneous group...

That is fantastic. I will never marry, but I’ve always known that if I did, it would be a small affair, and there would be NO gifts. Instead the guests would be informed of various charities (a good variety, so there should be at least ONE that would appeal to each person) that were near & dear to the bride & groom…

I’ve always sworn if I ever married at this stage I’d do something similar. I want the donation tables instead of presents. I also always thought I’d like to include with my very simple announcement that we wouldn’t be accepting gifts-instead, we’d prefer a donation of money, time or goods to charities that we support…

That is SUCH a great idea. Hats off to your great aunt. If I ever get married, that is going to be my present policy.

that is fantastic. I plan to read over a couple times to memorize this little story. I will casually be re-telling it around my gfs who are getting married and already talking about the money gifts they want/need in order to pay for their weddings. Weddings are a money-making business for the bride and groom where I’m…

This is the most hilarious part of all.
Rich people and/or people very into manners consider it the height of rudeness to show up at a wedding carrying a gift. And slipping someone an envelope? Please, no. A wedding is no time for bribes!
I come from one of those fancy-ass families and gifts or envelopes are always…

That last bit is so fantastically amazing. I’m not sure what kind of wedding thing I might do one day, if someone comes along, but if the circumstances are right (ie not a 5 person wedding on a beach or date at the courthouse...) I’d love to do something like that! I love the idea of feeding the people picking up the…

Noo! You got her a shower gift that is more than enough! You do not have to get someone more than one present for the wedding! Your friend was super wrong to demand anything, much less in such a rude way.

I disagree. I think this bride _should_ confront her friend about the lack of gift, so that the bridesmaid has the opportunity to shit in a box and mail it to her, but that's just me.

I was in my best friend since kindergarten’s wedding last year. She knew I had financial problems and instead of an expensive gift, she asked me to paint her a fingerprint tree for her guest book. I was so relieved to be able to spent so little and give her something I knew she would treasure forever instead. Her…

the outfits they are wearing are probably worth tens of thousands of dollars and I think they look like fabulous soul sucking witches I would like to subscribe to their lifestyle blog i bet it comes w free cocaine

You sounds like an exceedingly fair, generous and intelligent mom! Seriously! You’ve really got the whole punishments and rewards thing down to a science. It’s 100% clear that if she does the right thing, her life will rule. If she does the wrong thing, her life will suck. Bravo. My parents, like yours, were not that…

The Duggar original house for 14+ was provided by the church next door for free. The church used it (for families in need) from their congregation. They let the Duggars live there FREE as a family in need.
Their vehicles were all donated to them through local area churches. All the Duggar clothing and a lot of their…

Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones spent Saturday dressed in their Ghostbusters costumes, visiting patients at the Floating Hospital for Children at Tufts Medical Center.

But if young women don’t read Cosmo, how will they learn the simple and finite rules of haircare? Murderers will be getting off scott free.

I need like 10 stories like this a day until I can even come close to dealing with the shit of the world, from Sam DuBose-killing cops to lion killing dentists to PP-defunding Republicans.

“The kid had his choice of Morrises and went with that punk ass? Maaan...I woulda showed up just to see what the momma looked like! Gave the kid a free show AND tapped that mommy-ass...say hello to your new “daddy”, baby, HAWHAW!”

This is the glaring point of hypocrisy in all of this for me. So few people are trying to channel the outrage towards banning import of hunting trophies and placing lions on the endangered species list, which would effectively make it illegal for U.S. residents to hunt them.
