The chore of listening to voicemail:
I'm also 38 and I hate them. I never leave a voice mail for personal calls and if I leave one for work, I try to make it as brief as possible and I repeat my phone number twice. I am constantly getting really really long work messages and then at the end they say their number so quickly. Kills me. Just be like…
What the hell? Am I the only one that often has to call a good old phone number when contacting clients? It's only normal for me to leave them a message if they don't pick up, even if I have their e-mail you can't be sure they will read it within the course of the day.
Of all the mistakes I've made in my life, this one hurts the most. Thank you for letting me know. I can't believe I got this wrong considering how much I love that song. (Also: I didn't know what skeet meant for years and just sang it like it was normal.)

Here's the problem; most of these honeymoon funds DON'T buy you a dinner, or a swim with dolphins or whatever. They tally up the total amount of cash, take a percentage off the top, and hand you a check.
It's not tacky to give, it's tacky to ask.
I think it's acceptable to let people know they can contribute to a honeymoon fund as lon as you also have a traditional(ish) registry in which you register for a large range of prices for things you really do need or would like to have.
Despite all your rage, they are still just some cats on a page
Violently decent men. Really.
But he still gets to keep the futon that he had in college right? Because that was before he knew her.
Teaching is a highly stressful job that never ends. Not only do you deal with students who are often times awful, you deal with their parents who taught them to behave this way. Add in an administration/school district that isn't always on your side and I understand why teaching is such a difficult profession.

Does it really make boyfriend in #3 homophobic if he just doesn't like being hit on by people he's not attracted to? If he didn't like smokers, he shouldn't feel guilty not going if the party was at a cigar bar.
My grandmother would have sat there going, "Wait, you want me to talk to this box? Is this The Internet, where your mother prints obituaries for me? What do you mean there's a person in there?"
