I just got home from having drinks with my friend's husband. Both my husband and I stood up in their wedding and they stood up in ours. I introduced them. It's really not that big of a deal. The point is that hard and fast rules don't cover all situations.

A glass of wine is a cocktease at a party for me haha. I'm pretty sure that would make me more frustrated than having no booze at all.

I would probably murder people if there was alcohol at my baby shower since I wouldn't be able to drink too. Seriously fuck that shit.

I WAS JUST WATCHING THIS EPISODE.

Yes, I suppose we could. In my marriage I am the sexy butler and my husband is the money machine, as he works more and makes more money and I do almost all the domestic work.

"When I think of comfort foods, I do tend to think of things like fried chicken or fried potatoes. Things my grandmother made when I went to visit her or certain things my mother made for me when I was young."

Where did I say that servants are the same as equal partners?

Thank you for putting that so well!

Lindy isn't saying men want to marry Stepford Wife-bots, and aren't interested in their wives a people. The "sexy butler" thing I think is being read wrong here. Women are still predominantly playing the support role in marriages, so that being more a part of a man's idea of having it all makes sense, because the men…

Can I star this 12,000 more times?

Also- you *know* you're in trouble when the internet is like, "SEE: MILEY'S A GOOD EXAMPLE OF THIS BEHAVIOR."

I should have clarified that I don't think Laura Beck feels that way (I actually am quite fond of her writing here), or even the folks over at the Stir feel that way, specifically. I mean, clearly they all think that the names are totes adorbz, but I was referring to the broader societal reaction to unique names and…

I think the point is that hipsters love old timey names- along with their love of typewriters, manual sewing machines, record players, etc.

When I was a kid I was the only Lindsey in my school/neighborhood. I wanted a "normal" name, the one I chose was Sara.

That's pretty awesome, but I think it's because little kids haven't been cowed by standardized naming conventions yet. Whenever I hear little girls playing with dolls or ponies or transformers or whatever, it always sounds like their names are just random syllables strung together. Which, they probably are, and good…

Oh well if his students told him it must be true, lol.

See, that would have never crossed my mind. I thought of Rebel Alley (Ron Howard's daughter in Arrested Development), I thought of the naming tradition set forth by Moxie CrimeFighter, and I *swear* some famous person gave their kids the middle names Danger and Trouble. I never would have even thought of the South…

True story, my husband wants to name our potential future son Ghostface Killa. I really hope he's joking, because that's not going to happen.

I love Moxie. I love the idea of renewing the tradition of naming children after admirable traits, but instead of things like Prudence and Chastity, going for things like Moxie.

This. Is not. Real.
