Just me, or did anyone else initially panic that "Lindsay Lohan, 28" was going to end with "Dead"?

it can, but the health outcomes are not great. But hey, these abysmal asses are pro-life, not pro-quality-of-life.

I don't think shows like The Office / Parks & Recreation can be wholesale lumped into the rom-com bucket. I'd also say that The main object of those shows at the start was definitely "life at work / life in government work". It may have evolved to be more character centric over time, but most of the romance in…

Profitable rom-com.

Wonderwoman, Superman, Batman love triangle. Musical numbers abound, making it equally annoying for everyone.

I feel like 'romantic comedy' is a case of a too-specific genre. Tell a good story and incorporate romcom elements. Don't devote a whole film to cliche. (For what it's worth, I kind of feel the same way about comedy and drama. Stop telling me what it's supposed to be and just tell the story. Use whatever literary…

Very proud to have rejected those ridiculous $3,000 wedding photography packages in favor of a friend taking photos for a couple of hours in exchange for free room/board. God forbid my guests have fun without a stranger snapping pics of them every 5 seconds.

Yes!

My own mother (who was like the most low-mai bride ever according to everyone who knew her) is all "INVITE FIVE MILLION PEOPLE! WE NEED CHILDREN DANCING!" For the most part, she seems to have calmed down now but I am not paying $68.00/head for kids (who won't drink and won't eat regular food) to "dance". Dinner…

It's funny you post this because I am a bride to be and some times I feel like my fiancé and are the only ones who seem to remember that this is just one day and that the important part is our marriage. You'd be shocked at the outside pressure there is from family and friends to turn this into an extravaganza, and…

Before Facebook all these people were just pulling out their slide projectors when they had dinner parties. ("Amy and Bob, you will just love the pictures of our trip to the Bahamas! Here we are on the beach! Here we are on another beach! Here we are on a boat!")

I actually considered replacing "wedding" with "marriage", but I pulled that punch, giving the brides of the world the benefit of the doubt.

If a woman hates her father and doesn't want to share a name with him, she doesn't have to wait until she finds a male marriage partner to change it.

I would say to her own your destiny, if you don't like your dad, don't wait around until some fairytail hero comes along to marry you and give you a new name, Change your name when you are 18. Be your own person not property.

This is what I was addressing:

I know it's an unpopular opinion, but I also get so fucking disgusted (and disappointed and sad) when a girl I know changes her name. This article lays out everything I think about the whole process so perfectly.

Not that you asked my opinion, but I do think it's a bad thing that he's insisting even when you've shown reluctance. I actually think insisting in the first place is a bad sign. Why does he need this? What's the reason behind it? If you're equals entering an equal relationship, why does one of you have to give up her…

I'm going to stick my foot in my mouth and give unsolicited advice. Don't give up your name. Because it's really really bothering you! That gut feeling is what I like to call "the truth of things".
If I could go back in time to see where the compromises I made were going to build a giant wall of resentment, I might be…

My husband is not thrilled that I didn't take his last name but it hasn't been a big issue. Mostly because when he asked me why I wouldn't, I asked him if he was OK to change his last name to mine. Surprise! He wasn't. And he had no solid excuse for why. So until he does... I'm keeping mine.

First of all, to each their own, but honestly I think it's really gross to hear when women change their name. You know whose name I get to change? My livestock when I buy them. You are an individual-keep your name.
