Right? How in the world can it be safe to be steaming milk and handling all sorts of hot coffees near your bits?!

I would so watch a rom-com with that premise...
Yup, it's totally real; usually it's after the ceremony, but I don't see why it couldn't be a continuing before-after thing because weddings are at such awkward times. Who has time to eat before 1pm weddings?
Yeah, sometimes my brain is just tired! One hour games are my jam during the week. :)
Yes! That's what we did too, and in France it's called the vin d'honneur —thank God that it exists too, because in France you invite literally everyone you know, work with, and have ever heard of to the wedding (so.many.people) and vin d'honneur, and then they vamoose after about an hour or two of vin d'honneur, and…
Welllll....you only have 35 people in your family? I have 55 people in just my family! And that's just parents, siblings + spouses, grands, aunts, uncles, and cousins + spouses, not including all of the cousins' children and great aunts. If I would have had the wedding in the US and not where I live currently, there…
Yup, we got our venue for free (the church was able to list it as a church event for insurance purposes, since enough people from the church were going to be there and help run the behind the scenes stuff, like dishwashers and electricity—that's where a lot of the rental costs come from, apparently), and my husband's…
The most important thing, though, about use by or best by dates is that the vitamin and mineral quality degrades over time, even if you keep it constantly refrigerated. A prime example is juice, which is why you have 130% of vitamin C in a bottle of juice. You can still drink it, but it will have no vitamins or other…
Exactly. My mom studies germs for a living, and when I was an angsty teenager who refused to believe her wisdom, she showed me slides of what happens when you drink from cartons/bottles and let that grow over a week, both in and out of the fridge. It's not pretty!
THIS. This is my in-laws (leaving food out overnight and still eating it); I inevitably get food poisoning when I'm there because I can't keep track of what not to eat. They also leave out homemade jam, mayo, and mustard, so I'm left saying, "No, really, I enjoy dry toast and tea, yum!" :/
Glass Road IS amazing, especially because it's only about an hour long (the answer to my prayers, seriously, because my husband is a huge fan of all hugely complex and long Euro games, while I like them sometimes but not every day!). We've played it about 7 times already, and I love it.
OMG, yes. The calmest person in the world (aka: my bass-playing, reggae-loving friend) can turn into a rage-machine during that game!
I have so been wanting to try this game out but wasn't sure about it because seemed either sexist or really amazingly camp, and I didn't know anyone who had played it—thanks for the recommend!
Do I play BOARD GAMES?! YES! That was a bit overenthusiastic, sorry, not sorry. This is a bit long because I got overexcited:
Yeah, that's what sparked the rash of ancient Greek and Roman names in my elementary school classrooms. Achilles, Octavius, Maximus: they aren't going to have the same name as anyone else (until they learn about ancient history!)
That is PERFECT.
I think it depends on your family (I thought it was so weird as a kid when one of my friends parents did the peck on the lips at bedtime with her at a sleepover) and your traditions.
Agreed. I have the same thing with my chest/ribs (sunken chest, resulting in protruding ribs)...and it's because I have an actual skeletal deformity (also not skinny anymore!). You can see down any shirt I wear—even a crew neck—and my ribs stick out, but I'm not supposed to have these features. Bathing suit season is…
So...I actually understand why pole dancing is exercise now...!
On the "to purchase" list for my husband, the Flash of all food-eaters.
