These boots are just the most amazing thing ever. If they paired up with the belt buckle on the left I think they could take over the world.

No pictures of the reception? How is it the photog's place to dictate such a thing?

That is a really, really good idea. Well done.

Preach.

I don't even know who this guy is, but I have a longstanding and often self-destructive thing for alpha-dudebros. I'm happily longtermed with an anti alpha-bro, but still, they give me happy feelings in my lady garden that I have no control over.

Does this app require you to have GPS enabled on your phone? Because that kills my phone battery deader than super dead in no time. Also, I feel like this app would require a higher capacity for remembering where your phone is than I possess.

I'm pretty laissez-faire with what my girls (6 and 9) choose to wear— they wear uniforms to school, so clothes they choose for themselves are just for playtime and weekends, really, and a lot of what they wear probably falls into the 'mini-me' category. I draw a firm line with shoes, though— no shoes that you can't…

I feel like a gnome would be a real go-er in the sack, whereas the centaur would be secretly checking himself out in the mirror the whole time (Centaurian Psycho?). Anyone else? Just me? Ok then.

No, it's not meant to be a gift thing, I was just (poorly, I realize now) making the point that although I am uncomfortable with the whole 'cover your plate' mentality, I acknowledge that it's not like my comfort zone of wedding customs are above reproach, or what have you. But yeah, money dances are fun times.

I guess it's regional/cultural. I grew up in the Midwest, where wedding presents tend to split between gifts and cash, but then it's also fairly common to have money dances at receptions where I'm from (which I imagine would seem like a pretty gauche custom to someone who'd never seen it before). I have still not…

This hat is more pith helmet than fedora. Dress for success while on safari?

If we're going to talk about how class enters into wedding gift giving, then let's make sure we do it properly: many people give gifts (even, gasp, off-registry gifts!) because actual gift-gifts can be found at a bargain, and they cannot afford to give a cash gift that they don't feel embarrassed by. A gift is a…

Er, it's not really scare media— it's a bit of hard truth for people who don't really know what they'd be getting into (aka "the chair force" as you so charmingly put it) . There are, unfortunately, lots of people who jump in feet first without really understanding what farming is — and when that happens, it's…

using bananas for distraction

Twinsies! I'm so sorry that you feel my pain. I feel like I should buy stock in argan oil, or start an urban argan tree farm or something, since at this point I suspect I may be single handedly supporting the entire industry.

I feel like my style says something about me. And that thing is: I'm not ashamed to steal office supplies.

I'm not sure if I should be ashamed or proud that I actually had a binder clip Baba Yaga going on while reading this.

This is the best thing about today by a long mile.

Erm, lovable? I'm going with insufferable twatwaffle, myself.

I'm with you. The pic showed up in my facebook feed, too. Ugh.
