We paid a good amount for our wedding, but I really didn’t want to make our bridal party spend too much money. We wanted suits instead of tuxes, so paid the amount over the cost of a tux rental for the guys, and I paid for hair and makeup for the girls (I didn’t really want it to be optional) and helped a few of them…

For the wedding - cash. For the shower, a picture frame and a gift card. It’s best to give something to open at the shower.

They exist for showers. My mom really wanted to throw me a shower. That’s what the registry is for. Everyone just gave us cash at our wedding.

You could just give them cash. That’s what I do regardless of where they registered. They don’t need to have a honeyfund to do that. Everyone likes cash.

Those people are going to give you an ugly vase even if you register for towels though. There’s no way to get them to just give you cash.

People don’t dislike honey funds because they think you should want to register for crap. They dislike them because it’s a blatant ask for cash and everyone likes cash. It’s a universal gift. I give it at every wedding I go to. You don’t have to register for anything and you’ll get plenty of cash.

I give a check at weddings. You don’t need to tell me you want cash, who doesn’t want cash?!

Anyway, that’s why I don’t like honeyfunds, but I generally try and keep that opinion to myself when someone mentions theirs.

I also get annoyed when I want to give you $100 on your honey fund and the site charges me an $8 fee.…

They named him Antonio after a deceased family member. I don’t think it’s *that* weird, but it will definitely be annoying.

I didn’t know for years that my friend’s name was actually his middle name. He has the same name as his dad, so he grew up going by his middle name. It wasn’t until I received a wedding invitation…

My cousin just had a baby boy a few days ago. They named him Antonio, but want him to go by Anthony. I feel like that will get old quickly.

I’m glad your Nook still works. That was my first e-reader and I had to get it replaced twice and it still crapped out on me. I do miss the physical page turn buttons which is why I’ve been considering the kindle voyage or oasis.

I thought the ads on the kindle would be a lot more annoying than they are. It’s only…

Agreed with everything you said. HSAs are great if you’re 1) healthy and 2) not a low-income worker. They’re another tax-free way of saving for retirement, but that’s irrelevant if you already can’t afford to contribute to your 401k.

That’s an FSA. HSAs aren’t use it or lose it. The money lasts forever, so if you’re well off, it’s another tax free way of saving for retirement.

You can pay yourself back retroactively from an HSA too. So if I only have $500 in it now, and have a $1000 bill, I can pay reimburse myself the other $500 next year when…

I’m a woman’s size small. A men’s size small isn’t going to fit me. Even if that was an option, don’t even bother, I’m not going to wear it.

She doesn’t specify that that wasn’t an option. But as a woman in tech myself, I don’t want men’s versions of apparel. They don’t fit me, and I won’t wear them. Don’t even bother.

Unrelated, but I actually recently got a message on LinkedIn hiring for some company he described as “Netflix for pet food” and how it was too good of a deal to pass up.

I’m sure you’ve seen the Penn and Teller and think you’re an expert on cheerleading now, but in this case you’re actually wrong. UCA High School Nationals is one of the most prestigious nationals to be able to attend (the other being NCA). Yes, there are a lot of shitty nationals that it’s not that hard to qualify…

I personally can’t stand Honeymoon Registries. I give cash anyway, but it just feels like a sneaky way of saying I JUST WANT CASH. They’re not actually getting any of the activities they registered for, they just get a check, usually with a percentage taken out.

I’m from the Northeast and most people just give cash at…

It was pretty ridiculous, but at least the priest understood none of us were going to use it. A lot of the day was couple’s counseling type things, which actually wasn’t bad. Thank god it wasn’t a whole weekend!

I didn’t even know that was an option! I found a one day pre-cana instead of a weekend long one and the priest was really great. My husband was going through it for me (he was never confirmed) and didn’t even mind it. The priest explained he had to teach the rythm method, but said, if nothing else, you can use it when…

You’re 100% not allowed to have a Catholic ceremony outside the walls of the church. Maybe the priest is cool doing it and you don’t actually care if your marriage is recognized by the church, but that’s definitely against the rules.

I’m luck my priest let us have our ceremony AFTER the 4pm vigil mass. So we had a 5PM…
