My husband and I took some of our engagement pics in a chemistry lab - I think you have to do what feels authentic to you. I think this thread represents a blowback against the dual special-snowflake tendencies of engaged couples and crossfitters, which I agree can be egregious in both cases, but this seems to be a…

I assumed the same thing re: going light on the weight to ensure she didn't do anything that would make her fiancée's face less than wedding ready. With a total of *maybe* 50 lbs in the air, I could recreate this pose for the pregnancy "belly shots" that I'm in no way taking.

And here was I thinking "squat snatch" was just a description, and being torn between "don't be so hard on yourself, it's shaped how it's shaped" and "wouldn't you prefer he check it out at home?"

I just forwarded this to my husband, all "too bad for you that we're already married, lol!" and he replied "for so many reasons..."

Specious argument is specious. No feminist, anywhere, is saying "fuck equal pay for equal work if I can post #TBTs of my high school tampon fails." Let's see if Jia can explain why this is allowed to be a thing in the same universe where we are also contending with major societal forces opposing women's equality:

Seems like it'll be light on the table flipping and drink-in-face metrics, but one of the cast was interviewed on CBC Radio's Q this morning (the erstwhile show of noted lady-beater Jian Ghomeshi), and I found myself unexpectedly charmed. So... maybe?

I was totally with you in being baffled as to why this was a thing, but was pleasantly surprised by an interview with one of said WAGs on this morning's Q. Not sure what it was exactly - the swearing? The accent? The candor about her own motivations? - but I found her winning and engaging. Maybe even enough to watch…

I don't know if this says more about you, or me, or just means that Google knows what happened to my carpet this morning, but as soon as I typed "Jolie" it autoprompted me with "Jolie Kerr cat pee." Then I found the jizzcliner. I was not disappointed!

You may live to regret the statement "the grosser the better" but I like that you view our comprehensive yet eclectic grossness as an asset.

Dammit! I can't believe I missed this on Friday, as I was one of the spoiled bitches clamouring for it most loudly. In the spirit of better late than never (also the unspoken theme of my wedding - heyo!), here's our tally.

Man, I'm glad you were happy with the results, but the paying for uneaten food thing had to hurt. Too bad there wasn't an option for, like, 60 doggie bags.

For NYC, that seems incredibly affordable. That's Canadian prices, kid! Or at least on par with what I paid up here before our dollar went straight to hell. Good job, you!

Your Mom sounds like an amazing woman, and one who left you a strong and pragmatic example to follow. All you can do is make the decision that feels right for you, however difficult the choice itself may be.

Geez - I did 5 bouquets, boutonniers/corsages for 10, 22 table centers and 4 altar arrangements for a grand, without having to place a single bloom myself. I guess I should maybe hug my florist next time I see him?

I would say in general that Toronto does better in the "self-aware upscale casual" category than fine dining. There are spots that do high end French and Italian, but nothing that will make you think "This is equivalent to or better than this same style of cuisine in New York." However, The Forth and Canoe both do…

Thank you! This is both helpful and validating. Manners make me happy, but chivalry makes me squeamish.

What a timely piece, as I begin my quest to convince my adequate husband that we should go out for "not tacos" for our anniversary. He's actually a fairly adept high end diner thanks to a combination of a wealthy grandfather fond of trips to the fancy joints, and French Canadian heritage meaning he can pronounce most…

I too thought the "place" in question was the stomach, or at worst, the colon. Which is odd, since my grandfather was also fond of the phrase "wish in one hand, shit in the other, see which fills up first."

In January, Colorado state Reps. Don Coram, R-Montrose and KC Becker, D-Boulder introduced a bill that would provide $5 million to continue funding CFPI's LARC program.

This was my saddest star of the morning :-( I'm really sorry about your Mom, and about little you living in the shadow of those uncertainties. Of course you can never completely insulate your children from loss, as many are pointing out, but I can totally see the reasons for doing whatever you can to make the odds as…
