My husband and I haven’t had kids yet, but have had many discussions about it - do we want to do it, and if so, when? I’ve come to a similar conclusion. My husband could take or leave becoming a parent, he doesn’t have a strong opinion on the matter. I would like to be a parent, but for me, a lot of it is about…

They remind me of Banana Republic’s Sloan pants which were my absolute favorite dress pants ever. I can wear jeans to work now so I don’t need them, but I used to stalk the BR website for sales. These are a quarter of the price.

And much like I get prescription Prilosec for much cheaper than the OTC box costs :)

It’s the same way for a lot of over the counter things. Like, if my husband wants his nose strip things to be eligible under his Flex Spending Account, he has to have a prescription for them.

I had an IUD and went for the one month followup to find that it had apparently moved and it was no longer in the right place. It was removed and the gyn told me I could try again after having a kid. By that point it was apparent she had very little experience with them (she made me pay the $600 up front and then they…

I had a hard time with that too. The whites were totally blown out and you couldn’t even see the details of the brides dress in many instances. And these were photographers charging big bucks!

Your comment literally has nothing to do with the person who you replied to said. And you’ve got 100 stars on it.

I think I’m more apt to think that a white girl with these braids looks like she’s going to jail than if it was a black girl. I don’t know what that means other than I recently watched Orange is the new Black. Probably still racist.

I was born in the 80s and I know a ton of women my age with middle names Elizabeth (myself included)! Marie is another popular one as someone else mentioned (and my sister’s middle name).

But I know very few people with those as a first name.

I have a former coworker with a sister who is trans and my coworker told me that she doesn’t think women’s college should admit trans women - and she is one, so not every opinion comes from a place of discrimination. I’m happy to hear this news, but it would be interesting to have a discussion about it. I don’t think…

Because asking for money is generally considered poor etiquette.

Just make sure you know their wine preference. My husband and I got a ton of red wine at a housewarming we had and we don’t drink red :(

What a dick. There are guests that didn’t give us anything and it doesn’t bother me even a little bit.

This is what we did. We upgraded our towels and linens and a bunch of our cookware for nicer stuff. Gave away the other stuff to my younger cousins. Most people gave us cash at the wedding anyway.

Bridal Showers are an opportunity for some of the women invited to the wedding to get together before hand and shower the bride with gifts. They’re usually household items from the registry. It’s generally family and close friends and you sit around and have brunch or snacks and everyone watches the bride open her…

Well you don’t have to ask for it. I got almost all cash at the wedding and we had a traditional registry and never once implied a preference for it. The WASPy side did physical gifts. The Italian/Irish sides did cash.

True. My mom’s family is all Italian. I got cash. My dad’s family is mostly WASPy. They gave me stuff from my registry. It’s good to have a registry for that reason, but I’ll always give cash at weddings.

That being said, NEVER EVER EVER EVER ASK FOR CASH IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM. Including Honeymoon registries. The…

I’m going to Paris and London for the first time next month and I can’t wait. There’s so much history there and interesting things to see. Maybe it’s not anything special to you, but I’m sure a lot of international visitors feel the same way about seeing Times Square in NYC.

Facebook and instagram do a better job of backing up their data than I do. And my harddrive has limited space.

I have a DSLR that I’m planning to bring when my husband and I go to London and Paris next month, but it’s so bulky that I’ll probably fall back to my phone
