Here’s how we’re handling it. We took each other’s last names as second middle names. So for example:

Does anyone know where I can get a Paul Bunyan & Babe the Blue Ox cake topper? My wedding is in a little over a month and I’ve been procrastinating.

Sadness. I just now realized I was in the greys because I Thee Dread has its own sub-blog. Silly Kinja.

I'm currently planning a wedding. Let's see how tacky it is...

Thank you so much for your insight!!

D'oh! Individual store sales records. Knew I must be forgetting something. Okay, so when I know what I want to buy after someone helps me, I'll go ahead and buy it in store. Also I definitely took the survey, mentioned the MUA by name, and gave her all 10's (she totally earned them; my philosophy with retail…

Sorry, one more reply. I'm bugging you because you said you work at a free standing sephora.

Hey, this might be a petty question, but do Sephora makeup artists get commission or anything when I buy stuff after they do a mini make-over and spend a bunch of time making product recommendations? Phrased another way, is there any reason NOT to go in, enjoy their help, and then make my purchases on sephora.com to…

I'm pretty sure my Mrs is going to be more useful to me in the long run than my PhD.

Okay, I know this discussion is a few days old, but I hope you don't mind me jumping in with some unsolicited, potentially useless advice. It won't get at any of the bigger "what do we want for our financial future together" issues, but maybe it will help with the dinner thing. I had a friend in college who really…

What if the outbreak starts at Burning Man? Desert isn't going to do anyone any good.

Thanks so much! How does one reconcile these preferences with concerns about food safety/cooking meat to the proper temperature? Is steak pretty safe? Meat makes all this stuff so much more complicated and confusing. Who cares about sanitizing everything after cutting tofu?? But it's delicious, so... maybe I'll…

I was vegetarian for most of my teenage/adult life (you know, the time when you'd be ordering for yourself off a menu). I only recently converted. So I am one of those who have no idea how I like my meat cooked. I ask for my burgers "Uh... medium, I guess?". If I had to go to a steakhouse tomorrow, I'd look like…

This is a great suggestion. My fiance is a bed-maker, and I'm a total slob. We use separate blankets. Right now, his half has his blankets neatly laid out like half a made bed. My half has a heap with a duvet and an extra blanket all tangled up. But with your method, I could just give him a king-sized duvet and…

There MUST be survivor bias going on. Women with kids in academia are women who didn't "quit"/weren't pushed out when they had them. They must be more productive than others to remain in academia because they have to overcome bias against women and mothers.

As someone who's getting married in a few months and hates constipated sex more than anything (even more than no sex), thank you so much for sharing your strategy. I never would have thought of this.

I recently made a recipe very similar to this one (http://www.budgetbytes.com/2012/08/slow-c…). I also recently got engaged. Coincidence?? I think not!

Too bad you can't cropdust that troll ;) They more than deserve it for their deliberate stupidity.

Better make it back-to-school through February 15, so they can experience having their hours drastically cut in January and then having to serve terrible chicken from a fixed price menu to tons of angry couples.

This. It's not enough to just do the work; you actually have to experience depending on that as your income.
