You don't.

Probably because nowadays people order gifts online and have the sent to the couple rather than schlepping boxes to a wedding?

"But know that guests are going to give you whatever they're going to give you."

Only if it's premeowditated.

That's amazing! He looks just like my cat...except when my apartment got burgled my cat just hid under a bedspread and then stayed there the rest of the day for good measure.

Oddly enough, at my address there is a photo of a cat I found and had for a few days until I was able to return it to its owner, but my actual cat was not represented.

I agree...and speaking of the Pistol Annies, Ashley Monroe's solo album is amazing.

All of a sudden in the past few weeks my Facebook ads have gone from various wedding related goods and services (reasonable, as I am getting married next month and list my relationship status as Engaged) to exclusively plus sized lingerie, which is completely incomprehensible as I am neither plus sized nor in the…

I also don't get the fear of epidurals themselves - I have yet to become pregnant but I have had multiple epidural injections due to a back injury and they really aren't that painful, especially when you consider the alternative. Like, if you have a needle phobia, I get it, but assuming you can handle other…

Got it. My work actually will not change your last name in the email system (like, your name will appear as your new name, but the email is still your maiden name), which I secretly love because my coworkers who changed their names get all incensed about it whenever it comes up...but I am not planning to use my…

Have you run into any logistical issues with your unofficially hyphenated name? I'm considering doing this too but have never actually met anyone who has so I'm not sure what to expect.

That's really terrible - I'm so sorry this is happening to you. They should have fired him from the get go. I can't imagine having to deal with your harasser on a daily basis.

Thank you so much! I have a lot of help, which is making it easier on me - my mom is putting together welcome bags for out of town guests, doing the favors (which are luckily not overly complicated, just little bottles of maple syrup with ribbon and labels tied on them), and making table runners to spruce up the basic…

No idea...maybe? I mean, they have to go to court to testify in cases they responded to, so I guess it would make sense if they do.

I grew up in New Hampshire, and am getting married there next month. We budgeted $20,000, thinking we could get away with spending way less than we would have to in San Francisco, where we live, or Los Angeles, where he grew up. Much to our surprise, it has been a constant struggle to keep to that budget, and we have…

Also the cop one above reminds me of this time when I was 16 and got pulled over for speeding when I was most definitely not speeding. Seriously, I was the most careful teenage driver ever, not to mention the fact that I had just taken a left turn after a stoplight and there was no way I had had enough time to reach a…

When I was in college I worked at a department store makeup counter because I couldn't get enough work-study hours. One slow Monday I was at work, just hanging out, when this big, tough-looking dude walks in with an enormous entourage - nobody I recognized, but he obviously had something going on. Our counter was…

Gel manicures were the cure for me biting my nails...except now I bite the skin around my nails. Oh well.

I had the same thing happen...clear pap to CIN III within a 6 or 8 month period. it may not happen often, but better safe than sorry, IMHO.

I know that statistically this is super rare, but I went from a clear pap to CIN III in like a six month period, so I shudder to think what would have happened to me had I gone years between pelvic exams.
