how did I not remember that? [insert cry face emoji here]

PLEASE - and then Caity and Rich can take her to The Best Restaurant In New York (that needs reservations - because who would deny Michelle Obama a reservation?)

Shit - more than 1 in 1000 local inmates die in jail. 1 in 1000.

Really, this should be called the ‘very special episode’ of BCO. Pinkham has uncovered a grave problem in our nation’s educational system. Just what _is_ a sandwich? This ignorance is unforgivable. Time for a PSA.

The dress — I love the color, I love the style - but what is up with the stupid chest pockets? They don’t even look good on the model! Please stop with the chest pockets - we can’t put anything in them and invariably they mess up the fit of the rest of the top. Invest that money in good skirt pockets, please. <end…

I’ve read of a number of isolated studies – college women, military women, non-college women – and want to know if there is just a general ‘women between 16 and 22’ study, with sub-groupings. Why? I no longer believe that this is a college issue or a military issue or a low-socio-economic level issue. It’s a power…

Sorry Tabitha - I’ve been to baby showers for Jewish moms - usually at parents’/ in-laws’ house so the gifts don’t enter the home before the baby. Happy, healthy you and baby are getting gifts!

This isn’t my story, but my sister’s. Beautiful wedding, everything went as planned (as far as I could tell) except for the DJ playing the chicken dance despite an explicit admonition against it. Sister and husband go off to nice hotel for wedding night. After out-of-towners brunch she and husband go back to my…

When my ex-BF got engaged his fiancee forbid him from ever speaking to me again. Except to tell me that he couldn’t speak to me any more. um, ok. Remarkably, I live to tell the tale.

CRUEL CRUEL Maxi Dresses - you never even have to consider wearing one.

Wow, this is a game-changer. I clearly must do these things quickly. Hivemind, please help - is this my new life plan?

I’m with you in your analysis (and wore plenty of New England Lilly in my youth, hand-me-downs from my mother) - and ugly’s the whole point of the design. Pulitzer wanted designs that wouldn’t show baby throw-up on them. So it’s very early grunge?

totally fine for a wedding guest - nice dress!

sorry. that sucks now. But what a kick-ass story you have for the rest of your life! (bright side)

Finally got to drink it - awesome!! thank you, well worth the wait

Fully agree with all you say. And don't overlook the people who manage to accumulate all the stuff they need before they get married _without_ even living together first. And so they have to actually purge in order to combine households. So, yeah, stick to giving what's on the registry, honeyfund or cash, unless you…

Margaritas: 1:1:1 tequila:triple sec:fresh-squeezed lime yum!

I think the point is that they don't actually have to throw any real money at it - there is no staff, there are no programs. They donated 30 seconds of their ad time during the SuperBowl. End.

So if he told all of these people, why didn't any of them tell HER? oh the humanity

Thank you! An Aussie friend of mine clued me into red champagne years ago, and it is SO yummy, but they don't export very much. Yay for a local source!
