Only an idiot would think that taking up two seats on a rush hour train to make his balls comfy is fair to everyone else around them, male, female, or anyone in between. Train with ample space, fine by me, but if everyone is crammed like sardines and your balls take precedence? Not cool.

Or stand. Just stand, that's what Mr C does because he realizes that his balls are not as important as the comfort of anyone else around him.

Yes, but it isn't comfortable for those around you when you do that. I was that person squeezed between two leg spreaders on a crowded rush hour train yesterday, I can say it was one of the most uncomfortable train rides in my life and I wish that they would have been more conscientious to those around them... and not…

Conditioner also works wonders in those situations

I didn't mind dress codes - if they were done right. I went to one school with a ridiculous dress code that made little to no sense. For example, you couldn't wear insignia that was larger than a quarter and seniors could wear sweatshirts. You could wear bright colors, you could double up on shirts, but you couldn't…

Yeah, plus the song is known to be satirical, I'm surprised that people still take it at face value nowadays.

Of course, but mainly because my idea of what is "expensive" would be affected. Plus, I would prefer to use the money to make smarter decisions for the future - if that means buying a more expensive item that will outlast 15 cheaper items (like a Miele vacuum... those things last for decades) then yeah - totally…

Wow! I meant more like promising to do a section of our wedding website and taking a few weeks after we "launched" it to get it done. (Our Savethedates were done as pdfs and instructed the guests to check out the website for more details.) Yeah, if it comes down to something that would cost upwards of $10, then that…

Thank you! It is so much more planning than either of us anticipated, and we are both pretty laid back so... we'll see what happens!

Congratulations! Have an amazing time!

Yes to the pictures beforehand! We are planning to do that... it makes no sense to us to take them right after when you are super giddy and just want to have fun. Mr C's cousin used a photographer who does a whole "big reveal" thing which I thought was great. They come in blindfolded and then see each other and it is…

Mr C is super excited, but he is a procrastinator and does not understand the importance of wedding deadlines. I find it endearing.

I don't know... as a bride-to-be I loved that Mr C wanted to be more involved.

We are thinking of doing an experience registry. There are a few of those, and we don't need anymore housewares... we've already lived together for over two years! Luggage, though, is always appreciated! Good idea.

I am getting married in my mother's home country where white-tie or black-tie (with long dresses, no exceptions) are the norm. I love that - it looks fantastic. However, most of Mr C and my friends are American, where cocktail dresses reign and dark suits are sometimes used. This leads to a weird scenario in which we…

Thank you. There have been three ads total that have bothered me in my time as a "straphanger" (HATE the term) in NYC. That ad, which is sexist and just awful, the May 21st end of days ad, which was weird, and the one for some college with a girl superman flying with the logo on ridiculously large breasts (probably…

I thought of doing that but I don't want to make it complicated for them. In many ways, asking someone to hunt down a dress in a specific color and length seems too ridiculously time consuming.

Agree completely. We are grown ups, not children. And if you are friends, you should be able to be open and honest.

This is the situation that I am encountering. I am getting married next Spring in another country where my family is from. I feel ridiculously uncomfortable choosing bridesmaids, namely because a lot of my friends are just getting their bearings and may not be able to afford traveling abroad and getting a specific…

This woman just turned around and left. Forgot to mention that very important part of the story!! She just turned around and poof! Out the door. If this woman was a performance artist, I would not be surprised!
