Could part of the problem be that the vitamin market is not really regulated and that what most people ingest doesn't really contain much in the way of vitamins and minerals but mostly filler/binder? Also, if you have an unhealthy lifestyle and aren't eating well, vitamins aren't going to fix that. But if you don't…

Right?! I mean, myself and half my friends in NYC take vitamin D because we actually do have a D insufficiency due to the lack of light in the winter (blood work proves this). I definitely don't view vitamins as a cure all but as a supplement to my already healthy lifestyle. Also, vitamin Bs are great for curing a…
I can attest that these glasses are awesome for drinks! They are a really nice weight and size. Plus they look schmancy!
The unfortunate thing is that $400+ is a lot for a gift in my family. I tried talking the younger step-siblings into contributing but they are all broke.
Finally! I got a picture up!
Where are those from?! I LOVE them!
That sounds delicious.
Double post! WHoops, KINJA
You are correct! And Barolo is amazing but expensive!
It's great! It's from Piedmonte region in Italy which produces some of the best wines in Italy. Try it!
Myself and others have said that we have become friends with our friends' significant others. That's what I meant. I mean, because I have hung out with my friends' boyfriends I have gotten to know them and sometimes we do things without my friends, their girlfriends.
People do not get to cal dibs on someone unless they are already dating or have had sex, as in they are in a relationship and you would be breaking up that relationship. So what if this lady is on the prowl? He seems interested in you, not her. So go for it!
How is it different?
Why is it a problem? I've been out to dinner with friends' BFs a number of times. Often because I am friends with both people in the couple. It's never been hidden or weird or anything. My girlfriends never cared because they know I'm not an asshole who is going to try to break them up. It's just dinner. Generally, I…
Well, it depends on your cultural background because there are quite a few ethnic groups who believe cash is the best gift. I like those cultures. The point of a gift is to do something nice for the couple. If that something nice is writing a check then I'm happy to do it. If instead it's buying them some flatware, I…
Oh yes! Because TRADITION. And we have to make the fake ribbon bouquet for the rehearsal dinner, etc. etc. I'm someone who wants to get married at city hall and go out for a really lux meal with immediate family only and I'm constantly told that I'm nuts and "Don't you want to have a party with all the people you…
Bridal showers used to be about equipping a bride-to-be with all the gender related household items so that she could be a good housewife (i.e. iron, mixer, pots and pans, etc.). Also, I think the average age for women to get married in the U.S. at one point was around 20 so most women had never had their own…
Exactly. My sex ed programs (both the religious and the secular) both discussed the virtues of sex beyond procreation: it feels great, brings a certain level of intimacy, etc. BUT they stressed that emotional maturity is a great asset when you have sex. My religious middle school said to us that due to their values…
Did you go to my high school in SF?!
