I feel like she really .... took that personally.....

Agreed.... most people don’t really want to be there, they are just doing it out of obligation.

We do “Stag and Doe” parties in Northern Ontario. Basically everyone is invited, they pay for a ticket to come and then buy drinks. They usually have draws throughout the night and do other various things to raise money for their wedding. I know my coworker had one and made just under $9000, and they only had a toonie…

So many Jennifer’s.

... cant.... can’t you just go to the doctor and pay for it yourself though? i mean, if i were a person who was doing a self care routine of seeing the doctor, especially if i were in shannen’s position and could most definitely afford the appointment?

Yuck - I had this surgery when I was about 11 or 12? Grade six. I had the surgery on a Friday and by the next Friday I was out downhill skiing with my friends. The most traumatic part is honestly the pain killers... Because you're not used to them as a kid... But the recovery is quick and I think I was pumped about…

Exactly.... Not just genetics at all. Environment plays a huge key. My sister eats well and doesn't smoke, but loves the sun/sun beds and wears a ridiculous amount of makeup. She actually had more wrinkles a few years ago than she does now, as she upped her water intake and started using better products including the…

LOL. My old boss told me that because I take birth control, I was essentially having an abortion every month. She had gone to nursing school. How do this information perpetuate our society still? Are people really that disconnected?!

Oh, I see your point - it doesn’t need to be a card, it could be anything to acknowledge the gift... whether that be the next time you see someone, a phone call, an email... whatever works for you!

WTF!

I don’t really care about receiving a thank you note, HOWEVER it is important to .... get some sort of acknowledgement... because generally the gifts/cards are not handed directly to the guests, and you may never see them receive the gifts/cards... so I am always concerned that my card has gone missing etc and I want…

Yup, I was going to make the same comment. Generally when we eat out with friends, someone pays and the next time someone else pays and it rotates like that. We do have friends who are cheap but want to spoil themselves- we don’t let them off the hook.... But if someone is low on cash ....who cares about the extra…

Ugh! This is exactly my best friend. Except she has like ten boyfriends on the go and wonders why no one will commit to her... And then gets mad at me when I give her the honest answers. She is generally such a great person but her self absorbed nature is draining. HOW DO YOU HANDLE IT? I need advice! Haha

Thanks, I am coping the speech and putting it in my pocket to help educate myself and those around me with these questions. I've never seen someone else write this out in such a simple way before.

What!! This is so news to me. On most days I pull my wavy hair into the worst pony tail/bun ever and no one says anything but when I have meetings I usually rag or use the wand in my hair to make it nice and curly, which everyone compliments. Either way no one has ever said my hair is professional or…

Hey! If the kitchen aid worker works for you, then that’s great, don’t spend the money on the extra device.

Errr, I love my bread maker. I would use it every day. It’s especially nice in the summer because you can cook bread without heating up your whole kitchen. I mostly use it to make French loaves (which I end up cooking in the oven... Yes I know I could use my kitchen aid mixer for this...). I find it really convenient…

I really have trouble disagreeing with this statement. I feel like he needs to meet his match.

And I’m sort of afraid he can’t be rehabilitated in prison - because the proper systems aren’t in place to “help” him and because he won’t be willing to make any adaptations. He’ll be as much a danger to society in 5, 10 and 20 years from now. He should be rotting in his cell with no possible release.

In my experience it absolutely was not. Although we agreed the end would be the best way to do it, the idea of distance felt too trivial when we had Skype and texting and cheap phone calls. So the attachment remained, except the physical.... Well. Let's just say his heart was still connected but he was having fun…
