This ties in to what I want to say - if you want a monetary donation in lieu of gift, for whatever purpose, be gentle when you judge people by the amount they give. In many cases you don't know their financial situation. Maybe they are up to their neck in debt and are giving as much as they can. They might have found…

I feel like you are the only person on here that makes any sense to me! I just don't understand the present/money-grubbing attitude of people having weddings. If you choose to get married and you choose to have a wedding, that is YOUR life choice. Stop looking at your guests as dollar signs/gifts. Invite them…
Exactly. If you're giving someone something that is the beginning and the end of it. You don't get to dictate what it's for so why does it matter?
Seriously! My friends who recently got married had a very small registry and when I asked about it, they admitted that they didn't really need anything (been living together for awhile) but all the olds basically demanded it of them. So I gave them a big fat check instead and they were super happy about it. They were…
This is such an American sentiment. At Asian weddings people show up with red envelopes filled with cold, hard CASH.
In Italian American families, cash is king.
I do not understand people who say giving cash is tacky. Every bride I know has "over-registered" for things they don't care about or want because they want to return said item for a refund or store credit, which just seems like a roundabout way of just getting cash in the end without straight out asking for it. I…
Yeah, but as long as I've been alive, people have been putting registry info on their invites/save-the-dates, so, first of all, this is not a hill on which dying will do any good, and second, if social obligation is such that I'm expected to give a gift anyhow, then by all means fucking ask for what you want, because…
Why gifts? Give cash. Cash for the honeymoon, cash to shore up how fucking expensive this party is, cash for sex toys, cash to buy a house, cash cash cash cash. Why would you give someone a fucking thing for their wedding when cash is both chic (fits in a cute card, looks good with your dress), and useful.
This is especially true with sports journalists for some reason. As a non sports photojournalist I do not expect people to want to be photographed or interviewed. I swear 90% of sports journalists are acting out these long standing feelings of aggression and jealousy towards jocks in the most passive aggressive way…
"Here's the equivalent of what A Rodgers did today. I crash his wedding to Olivia because I'm a big "fan."
Many members of the press feel that its everyone's job to cater to theirs. When they don't get preferential treatment they feel slighted because they then have to work. Its the same with Marshawn Lynch. The media hates it because the easiest game story is asking a player "Tell me what you saw" and then transcribe…
Let's not call them super. Just little baby trolls thinking they have some power over us, which they don't.
He picked the wrong target with me. I'm impervious to that shit by now, since I've been on the internet since it was 95% guys. I'll decry it when I see it, but it doesn't personally ruffle me anymore.
Already got to post this once on Jez this weekend— who knew I would have the joy of doing it again?! I slept with one of the guys who made those videos. Brothers from London. Not on dope, just odd and the one I saw naked had a small penis.

I guess you haven't seen this one?
I already contacted my three suppliers from Indiana and told them I could not in good conscience continue to do business with them. Further explaining that while I was upset that my decision would negatively impact their businesses, I would not contribute to the economy of the state of Indiana or their tax coffers as…
It's complicated. Prof. Conkle was one of my best law professors, a brilliant and kindhearted man. He's right on most of the technical aspects. But you have to put the law in the context that Indiana just spent two years in a culture wars battle in which our beet red Legislature tried to amend our constitution to…
