I throw out when they start getting nasty, especially my period pants. Because those bastards are nasssssteeeee.

And this would be why I keep my circle of girlfriends to 7 lol

When I got married we were all a year or less out of college and no money. I had three friends in my bridal party. One picked out the pattern, another picked out the fabric and the third chose their accessories which I bought as their gifts. They got a local seamstress to make their gowns .. i think they cost $75…

And what about when you sit down to pee and your tampon falls out? I don't care how bad it is for the environment, I'm not going fishing in such a situation.

I feel your pain. I had to decline being in my best and oldest friend's wedding because I couldn't commit financially to the dress, hotel room, weekend bachelorette party, bridal shower, travel AND gifts. I made the decision to only attend the wedding and the shower because they were "close" enough to drive to (2…

Ehhhh ... I would probably take the class because it's always good to have another item for my sex arsenal.

I am not saying that every single wedding should be declined. I just think that every single wedding doesn't NEED to be accepted, especially if the invitee has financial restraints. And no one should accept an invitation, knowing that they are going to have to put out a significant amount of money, and then proceed…

While assuring the full amount of gifts/cards? I would think so!! ;)

I'm sorry that I wasn't clear! I think you should absolutely go to your friend's wedding! I just meant that when faced with multiple weddings where costs add up, I think more people should think about ONLY going to the ones where the money you spend ISN'T going to make you feel resentful. Obviously, for you, even…

It is so much easier to accept the invitation and then complain about the inconvenience :D

My vagina is weeping.

I had almost the same situation: oldest and dearest friend had a very elaborate wedding planned, including the weekend bachelorette party and fancy shower at a hotel. My husband had been out of work for over a year. We managed to get to the wedding (I really, really wanted to be there) but I declined being Maid of…

My very best friend got engaged/married when my husband at the time had been out of work for over a year. Over lunch one day she asked me to be maid of honor in her wedding. As much as it pained me, knowing the dresses she wanted and knowing that the bachelorette party was going to be a weekend out of town, I had to…

If a couple decides to go into $50,000 of credit card debt for "their" dream wedding, that is really their decision and has little or nothing to do with me.

When I was planning my wedding, we had to have it in early January (don't ask) so I assumed that there would be lots of people who declined due to A) closeness of the holidays; B) possibly shitty weather; C) not wanting to travel (my groom's family was from Philadelphia). And any of those reasons would have been…

It is stories like this that make me glad I am an only child! I doubt I would have had your strength of character to NOT smack her one. Or at least pull her hair :)

I am extremely lucky that all of my family is pretty much within an hour drive from me and would never consider doing a destination wedding or shower (rural PA - they are still holding things in church basements/fire halls :D ) But my friends are another story entirely. I have said no to destination bachelorette…

Isn't the simple answer here to just not go to every wedding you're invited to? I've been invited to destination weddings/showers/parties and it is always really easy: Sorry "X" - I'd love to celebrate with you but I/we just can't afford to do that right now. I hope you have an amazing day - I can't wait to see…

DO NOT EVER THROW SHADE AT BLACK DAHLIA!!! That is one of the most phenomenally whackadoo movies of our time!!!!
