See, this is just crazy to me. Yes, it’s poor taste to wear a lacy white dress to a wedding unless you’re the bride. But the bride cried when she saw her? I can’t imagine that would have been my reaction. If anything, the guest looks like the crazy person. Everyone knows who the bride is. Even if the guest had been…

But do we know if the bride and groom were aware of this? Maybe they knew about it and were on board.

I think there’s a little too much emphasis on the bride thinking it’s her Big Day and therefore everything must revolve around her. I get it, it’s a big day, but other people have lives too. And even the Big Day can have room for other people (like the groom, or the other bride).

I completely agree. On the surface, it does seem unprofessional, but who knows what’s going on. Years ago I would have said it was unprofessional to refuse to work with someone, and then I worked with someone who was so verbally abusive that I eventually told my boss I wouldn’t work with the abusive asshole anymore. I…

See, this is why I hate the bouquet toss and why I refused to do it at my own wedding. I was 41 when I got married after 6 months of dating (engagement was after 6 weeks). I spent most of my late 20s trying to get my boyfriend at the time to commit, so weddings were depressing then, and then after we broke up, I spent…

#3: “It’s better to arrive at your appointment with your hair clean and styled like you normally wear it so we can see what’s going on up there, especially if it’s your first time seeing us.”

It depends on the stylist. See also: cab drivers and bartenders.

Am I the only person who has all tons of non-dishwasher safe kitchen stuff? So much of the kids’ stuff we have is safe for top rack only, and many are plates that don’t fit on the top rack. I can’t put anything with a wooden handle in there (spatulas, salad tongs). I’ve always heard it’s not good for knives. Pots and…

Why the snark for Larry Birkhead? He really does seem like a good dad and a good guy. So what if he takes his daughter out once a year to a fancy party?

Maybe she needed a bag and the only one she had handy was one that had his name on it. Or - she didn’t even know his name was on it, she just grabbed a bag from her trunk and is now marveling at all the speculation about this.

I think he was implying that if the cycle of abuse continued without her leaving, that she was doomed, but it was their fault in that particular instance for not intervening. I didn’t read it as completely insensitive; I read it as someone who has seen the cycle of abuse and is frustrated by it. The police can’t make…

I can understand that if you see people return to the abusers again and again, and if you see people (mostly women) refuse to press charges against their abusers, you can get a little tired of it and lose some compassion. Not to say there are not tons of reasons why those who are abused act this way, just that,…

I love Google, which led me to this article about his mother murdering her 3rd husband and then killing herself: http://www.nytimes.com/1996/03/05/nyr…

Thank God that song wasn’t around 20 years ago when my 18 year old cousin killed himself, as I’m sure his dad would have played it at the funeral. Instead he chose “I Don’t Wanna Live Without Your Love” (because he said that my cousin killed himself when his girlfriend broke up with him) and “The Dance” by Garth…

Monsanto doesn’t make anyone label it either! Not every field has a sign next to it. Farmers display signs because they want to do so. It’s a preference, not a requirement. Some farmers display the signs because they want to show what they’ve planted, either for other farmers or because it’s an easy way to keep track.…

I have kids. No way do I want my kids at some daycare where the workers hate their jobs. If she doesn’t like being around kids all day, she needs to find a different line of work.

But the companies don’t own the crops, and the farmers aren’t working for those huge companies. The farmers buy the seeds. They plant the seeds. They keep the profits from the sale of the crops (or take the loss if there’s a drought or a hailstorm or something else that wipes out or severely reduces their yield). If…

Seriously, where are you getting this information? Nearly everyone I grew up with was in the ag business. Most still are. I don’t live in Kansas anymore but have lots of friends and family there, and I don’t know of one farmer who is “owned” by a corporation, or by anyone.

But Monsanto doesn’t loan farmers money. Farmers buy seed from them. They also don’t direct what crops to grow. I don’t know where you’re getting your information, but it’s way off base to think that Monsanto is dictating what farmers grow. Farmers choose what to grow based on a variety of factors, including the…

Yes. The seed cleaners should be run out of business. Food Inc. (where I assume you got a lot of your information) left out some details, such as the fact that every farmers who uses GMO crops signs a contract stating they will not re-use seed nor offer it to other to do so. Additionally, my dad has told me that some…
