So, Geraldo is officially that crazy uncle who shows up at family events already sauced, has been divorced a ton of times, and says weird and offensive things just often enough that you're not quite comfortable when he tells your mother to ease up off your case? Also tells inappropriate stories and gives out generous…

Sympathy for the divorced counter-point: Try being the spouse who does _not_ put all the ugliness behind the break-up out there, while your soon-to-be ex is spreading his tale of woe all over town/social media.

I thought shacking up _was_ beta testing marriage.

Is the money to cover her medical treatments? If so, in my opinion, it would be acceptable to add a line to the shower invite that says, "In lieu of gifts, we are collecting donations toward's Friend's medical costs." Especially if the medical treatment is pregnancy-related.

So much this. Especially in the field of law, where the majority of lawyers have narcissitic tendencies. The support staff that excel at working with them are usually co-dependent, to some degree. In this field, it functions as an asset, but man, it can turn an office into a minefield. And I _like_ my job, so I'm sure…

As I replied to another commenter, I think a mortgage falls in a special category of "acceptable debt" for most of them, though that may be a matter of practicality rather than faith.

I believe many of them consider a mortgage an "acceptable" debt, although this may be more a matter of practicality than ideology, because that's more money than most people can save up in any reasonable amount of time.

Is it a part of your faith? I don't know. I do know that there's a bunch of types of Christians out there, with as many different beliefs, and that what Catholics, for example, would consider a part of their faith would be foreign to Mormons, and vice versa. It would be presumptuous to assume that any given belief…

If Debbie Reynolds' advice included concern that anything beyond a glass of wine every fortnight was rampant alcoholism, and hyperventilating about college girls' socializing and drinking habits, I'd say Yoffe has a solid case.

Being pro-life apparently stops short of actually having one.

It's not as cut-and-dried as a commandment. I'm sure you could google it if you are interested in learning about it.

Exactly. It's entitlement.

Ugh, I fucking know a guy who has kickstartered his seminary. He works part time, by choice.

Oh, it's not your heart that I'm after....

I hear you. I still have a thing for Dexter Morgan.

The surgeon:

Yeah, that would explain a lot about her hang-ups.

Honestly, having had a pixie cut for the past two years, short hair is _way_ easier, and getting it cut seems to go much quicker. Also, I get charged for a man's haircut, which is awesome.

I broke up with my stylist for three months after a bad dye job (we're back together now, and working things out). I also feel super-reasonable after reading this.

So... are there or are there not going to be enchiladas?
