Ah, gotcha. We tend to save our bones and veggie scraps, and when we have a bag, we just make a small-ish batch of broth. The man loves just drinking the stuff on his own (apparently that's what his mother told him was chicken soup...), so that knocks out like half of it. Then the rest I freeze in ziploc bags, flat on…

Oh, I disagree entirely. I cook a lot, and I like to have homemade stock/broth because it's simply better in every way. I'm happy to use a boullion cube in a pinch, but if I'm making something like a soup or a risotto where the broth is a major player, I prefer homemade. But it turns out I use a lot more broth in my…

I agree, but I think the distinction here is that they're talking about stock made from animal bones, as opposed to fish or shrimp or vegetables or parmesan rinds. Granted, bones are kinda the default, but when we're talking about "health benefits," the distinction is important to note. But yeah, considering we never…

Females.

Yeah, I get reeeeeeally tired of being told that my thoughts and feelings just aren't as complex as a mother's. That I can't understand love or feel feelings about the world until I've procreated. It's incredibly demeaning, and it reinforces the idea that my role as a woman is limited to having children.

survivors bias. You know who's not here to talk about responsible gun-owning parents and how safe it was when they were kids? The thousands of children from your own generation who were killed by a gun in the home.

"hey, kids! Don't pay attention to THOSE beauty standarss! Pay attention to THESE beauty standards instead! Don't dress like a slut; you'll be prettier if you dress like a Mormon!

That's not what autocorrect is.

Yeah, I don't get how my lipstick negatively affects other passengers. Everything else I get. But applying makeup? Seriously?

I think reddit's search tends to be awful when you're searching the whole site, but if you're in a subreddit, looking for something specific, it's very helpful, imo.

See you over there! :)

Just how ill-advised?

I like Reddit's r/weddingplanning. Get a lot of great stories over there, and it's VERY searchable if you're looking for something specific.

Masturbation after cutting habaneros without washing my hands. I ended up pouring a whole quart of heavy cream into and around my vagina.

i never said finances weren't a factor. I said gifts were a factor. I would be perfectly happy with no gifts, since I'm excited that my family (who have never really had enough money to travel) will finally be splurging on the trip out to my home city. I'm hosting a party that thanks *them* for their love and support…

God, it's like you just feel feelings so much deeper than the rest of us. That must make you feel good about yourself.

Seriously? No one invites people based on how much they expect to get as a gift. I think you're flat-out wrong there. I'm not inviting children because I don't care about most of the children who would potentially be at my wedding. I've never met them, they've never met me, and we'll likely never meet again. Why…

It seems like a perfectly reasonable option! There's a line between "No one under the age of 21 shall be permitted beyond the parking lot" and "YOU GET A CHILD, AND YOU GET A CHILD!" That line is "Regardless of age, if I invite you, you're invited. If I don't invite you, you're not invited." I'm specifically writing…

won't miss you have fun!

And as I'm planning my own wedding, I realize more and more that I only want people I care about to be there. I don't care about other people's children, and I don't care to babysit them at an intimate wedding. It's not to everyone's taste, and that's OK.
