That would be my guess, about the pregnancy. She's probably in an awkward "uggh my jeans don't fit, but my maternity pants are still to big" phase.

Things you forget/weren't alive to ever see first hand- Damn Prince Phillip was attractive.
The only time I judge is if guests are treated badly. Fortunately, I haven't been to many weddings where that has been the case.
I was just coming to say that I cannot hear that song without thinking of Dr Strangelove. Greatest ending to a movie. Maybe not ever, it's in contention with some others, but right up there with the door closing on Kay's face.
Ours ended up being a bit more, but like, proportional to the number of people who had flowers for the wedding. We got married inside, but said, eh fuck it, the church is pretty enough, not messing with decorations.
Fortunately, the rest of my in-laws are pretty cool. The grandparents are super Catholic, but are just passive aggressive about it, which I'm great at deflecting. My SIL has chilled a bit too fortunately.
Yeah, my SIL fell in with a bad crowd in college (and by that I mean Focus Missionaries). Apparently everything is too liberal when you're trying to convince American college students that they should be Catholic. I made my SIL almost cry when I told her that under no uncertain terms was I converting to Catholicism…
Yes! They were. I was laughing and rolling my eyes, because these are super-Catholics, aren't they supposed to be totally onboard the idea of papal infallibility?
That's just what it seems like. Like, why force people to go through the prolonged trauma of watching their brain dead relative forced into being an incubator for a fetus that probably isn't going to make it anyway, and even if it does, might have really bad health problems as a result of it's mother's injury/lack of…
Any doctors/people who know shit around who can explain what the likely hood is of this fetus being born healthy when it's mother is on life support like this? I don't actually know, but it seems like living inside of a dead person on life support isn't maybe the most ideal place to grow.
I'm calling highly unlikely, given that I've heard extreme Catholics say that you're still alive until you're not, so being brain dead doesn't count as dead. Like, I once had a woman go on a rant about how if you put that you are an organ donor on your drivers license, the doctors will kill you to get them by taking…
There's so many royal/aristocratic related landmarks that seem to fall into the category of "damn they spent a lot of money on this... good thing it's making it back now with tourism". Think of how many people go to Versailles each year- a place that was literally designed to keep the common folk separated from the…
Really, they always seemed like decent people who would have done quite well in a more modern or constitutional monarchy. They would have picked up on the modern take of royals doing charity pretty well, plus the much much more relaxed standards of protocol. Just- wrong time and wrong place.
Straight up, that's the best legacy for a king. Ok, so maybe not blowing all of your money on art and architecture, but, then again, at the end of the day, what survived?
Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI fascinate me because they were basically set up for failure. They inherited not only a ton of debt, but a court culture that was designed to isolate and control them, which helped create the image of being so out of touch with the reality of the people. The absolute monarchy that France…
It's true- Ginny gets a boyfriend, only noticed because Harry realizes he's developing feelings for her. Cedric Diggory is going out with Cho Chang? Only noticed because Harry likes Cho. Fred and George are probably banging every other girl in the school- doesn't affect Harry, doesn't get brought up. Dude, look how…
I always wondered that too, about the knocked up students. I mean, the stoners are easy, they literally have access to hundreds of different herbs, you're telling me none of them don't get you high as fuck? I'm pretty sure that's what Fred and George Weasley spent a lot of time doing. But the pregnant students? Maybe…
And honestly- since the story is told from the perspective of a self centered teenager who's trying to figure shit out about his own life- it makes sense that Dumbledore's relationships are unexplored. Harry's relationship with Dumbledore is intentionally made so that he doesn't really know much about him personally.…
Yeah, I was always under the impressing that North and South Korea spoke the same language, minus the differences that developed due to region before the war and politics after the split. I'm pretty sure the language both countries use qualifies as Korean even with those differences (like you said about English in…
