I was totally in agreement with her thoughts on marriage. Until I met my husband. She's 16, and as she notes, she may change her mind. I got married at 34. Lots can change in those ensuing years. Or not. Smart sounding kid.

Single sex sex-ed and a permission slip are improper or illegal? I feel like I remember both, and I'm from New England (but pretty far removed from middle school/high school).

The headline reminds me of Kerry's campaign in reverse - he was for it until he was against it (in that case, the Iraq War). Lopez went to his mother's funeral, per the above. He was (later?) prescribed Ambien but deemed by a medical professional to pose a threat neither to himself nor others.

Letterman took over Late Night when I was in high school. He may have created the current crop of late night comedians and if so, for that I am eternally grateful. But, I didn't find him funny then and I always felt uncomfortable for the guests, because of how off putting I found him. Not all comedy suits all tastes…

Well, this will give me one less thing to be confused about in the world of comedy and late night. I never once found him funny or engaging and overall he really creeped me out. I'm glad to have Fallon and Stewart and hope the rumblings that Ellen could move to late night come true.

No, I don't think you should have to pay more in taxes either just for marrying - and I think a graduated tax system creates poor incentives at a number of levels, particularly given the various and sundry ways that folks can avoid it with enough ingenuity and money. A flat tax? Sure. Removal of "incentives" for…

Yup. I am not surprised. Angry. Disgusted. Frustrated. Concerned for my future if I choose to have children while working in a job that's merely tangential to professional sports (or in the US, I suspect this attitude exists in other fields), but not in the least bit surprised.

Totally agreed. The system is heteronormative AND completely retro. My husband and I are effectively punished for being good earners who married each other.

As I noted to someone else, married filing separately still costs of 1000s of dollars more than being single. Of course, that's really our only option, but it's quite painful to see the difference.

I understand all of that. But, in a modern society, please understand that my household income hasn't changed one whit in years. As my boyfriend, however, notwithstanding that we shared an address, we're not a household according to the government. We're roommates. We continue to share an address and expenses PLUS…

Still a few thousand dollars more than being single, in our situation. Married jointly is crazy expensive, married separately pretty expensive, single is refund heaven.

As a relatively recently married straight, all I can add is that for some of these couples, the inability to file jointly may be a blessing. The federal government values married me at a LOT more dollars than single me. It's disgusting. I thought it would be somewhat bad, but to go from what I consider modest refund…

Different kind of extreme as you get older, in my opinion. Some more overt, some less overt, and then everyone has spouses and kids and is not just flirting, crossing lines, harassing, but also lying and cheating as well. Super.

I actually think there are 2 types of Brooklyn Bros - I truly think the original hipsters fall into the "bro" category, and then there are recovering Manhattan bros who have made it across the river as you describe. Bankrolled and searching for something authentic.

Here in the US it's a game with beanbags and a board with a hole. Cornhole game on Amazon.

They do. Personally, I refuse. ;)

Chicago bro plays cornhole in the street.

I think the stuff her line puts out is gorgeous. However, just because she's in charge doesn't necessarily mean she can make clothes. Does she even sew? Perhaps we should put her on Project Runway and see how she fares. I suspect that may be where D&G are coming from.

Requiring purchase of a $600 suit is unacceptable. (I take it from the ask the suit is not one that would otherwise be of use to your hubs and therefore potentially not so offensive). I don't know if that means he has to drop out of the wedding, find a much less expensive, essentially similar substitute on almost no…

Totally agreed on limiting options. I got VERY stressed over selecting invitations and kept ordering more samples. I just made it so much worse. And, I'm glad I sprang for the nice chairs. I saw photos from my venue with someone who didn't and hated every picture with chairs in it. I love my reception photos, in…
