My best friend eloped for her own wedding last year. When I told her my plans (out doors, picnic tables scattered around a rough pavilion), she asked me how I'd have the walk down the aisle. I told her I wasn't going to have one, that instead everyone could gather and mix as they chose (including the wedding party…

To be honest, I said that in the previous comment because it was simpler. In actuality, I invited one cousin. She's the one that I'm closest to, and we had just spend a few days at her house visiting in the year before, so it made sense. So technically, we had one cousin out of 60+ (between the two sides).

Meh. You're not winning me over. Animals in the wild are almost guaranteed far worse deaths than what they would receive when they're humanely raised and slaughtered (which is the only type of animal I consume). As I mentioned, I don't eat a lot of meat, but that's more because of the environmental factors that I…

Exactly! I totally get that. My husband and I probably could have afforded a big wedding, to be honest. We both work at decent jobs, and have no existing debt. However, we want to retire some day, and want to travel, and have a bunch of other desires as well that meant that we just didn't want to drop a fortune on…

I'm just lucky that, as my mother used to say, I'm impossible to guilt trip, because man, did both families ever try. I gave in on one area, which was a wedding shower, because my MIL used the excuse that her MIL was really sad and upset and lonely and old and letting her invite a few of her friends over would make…

Can I say it would be a lot easier for this to be accomplished if society in general would dump all expectations for what a wedding should be like? I wanted a small, informal, inexpensive wedding when I got married earlier in June. I had so many hassles trying to achieve that that I wanted to throw up my hands and…

Being as I'm the one that often wakes up with a sore back/neck since a cat sleeping on my chest means I'm not allowed to move during the night, I'm not sure I can claim ownership of any animals. The one who sleeps on me is also the most stuck-up cat possible, and will slink to the ground to avoid unwanted pets from…

Veal Schnitzel it is, and everyone's invited!

Has PETA ever actually convinced anyone to go vegetarian/vegan? I already eat very little meat, but every time I read about one of their stunts I have the urge to go club a calf and make some veal chops (or whatever you do with veal; I've never had it) for breakfast.

How on earth does rehab cost almost $4000 a DAY? Is there any breakdown of the fees that could come close to justifying that charge? Non-American here, and I can't imagine any hospital stay costing that much for anything less than ICU-level treatment.

I've got one of those as well: http://toronto.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-sell…

He was so forgettable in Pacific Rim. I had to google his name to see what role he played, and was surprised to see he was the lead. He wasn't a horrible actor or anything, but just so bland.

I live in Canada, and I've seen the Neutrogena brand in most stores, but they don't necessarily have each and every kind. I didn't want to go from store to store looking, so I placed an order for one of the 100 SPF run in kind and one SPF 65 spray on. Free shipping, it will be here in three days, and it's easier :)

Someone else recommended them too. I just placed an order- let's just hope I get it this week :)

Thanks- I just placed on order online :)

Thanks, there was some good information in there.

I didn't know Neutrogena went up that high. It's what I currently use on my face, but it's SPF 50. Thanks!

I burn really easily, so I'm used to covering up. I'm really looking for specific brands that people have tested under tropical weather.

I'm going to Hawaii next week for a wedding, and I desperately need to get good sunscreen before I go. I have really pale skin to begin with, and I've been avoiding the sun for years. Does anyone have any recommendations for super-strong sunscreen? I'll be bringing a bunch of hats, but my arms and legs will still…

And here I was proud of my bucky ball creations.
