Ugh, the ring in food thing. Disgusting and annoying. I agree with your other ones too.

Thank you! Read it on D-Listed, and had to make it my burner.

Popular opinion*

My brother's. Hoooo-boy.

Unpopular opinion: As someone who worked in sports I think that sports themed weddings are hella tacky. In my experience, they're expensive, and don't have a long open bar time. I've worked a couple too, we brought World Series Trophies up to them.

I do enjoy Saltines tho. So crispy!

There's only one good show about Washington DC on TV right now and it sure isn't House of Cards

My friend had hers put in at Planned Parenthood and they actually applied a bit of a local numbing agent to her cervix. She said she was a little crampy for about 2 days. They didn't numb mine... the dialation was what hurt. I screamed "OH FUCK!" at the top of my lungs (I've never had kids and I wasn't on my…

It's linked in the intro but I didn't want to include the full thing in a post entitled "When Wedding Invitations Turn Into A Hilarious Disaster" for what are probably obvious reasons when you look at it that way :)

How did the 9/11 story not make the cut?!?! That was the worst of them all...

I hope your Paraguard is awesome! If you find all the sudden that you have the cramps from hell, though, it may be due to the Paraguard. You can stick it out, or try a different IUD. I had mine removed after 4 years because the pain was so bad we were worried I might have endometriosis. Much happier with hormones.…

The installation is the only shitty part :P I have the Paraguard and I love it. I like still getting my period monthly so that I know IM NOT PREGNANT, NOW EVERYONE DANCE! (Other than getting confirmation my birth control is working though, I hate my period.)

I almost couldn't read this article. I still have so much anger over my wedding invites.

So I wanted to design my own invitations. And we were being frugal so I went to some website and designed and ordered my own cards myself. I was really into having this be MY thing. Iwas going to get them just like I wanted and I really played with formats and got creative. My partner gave me full reign and I didn't…

We sent out our invites using paperless post, and while I was still fiddling with the design of our save the dates, I saved it to come back to it later. Feeling lazy, I couldn't be bothered to type out "save the date" and just put "STD" as the file name instead. When we then sent out the emails, paperless post used…

When we got married 21 years ago, there were not a lot of home computers or printers. My fiance (now husband) was finishing art school, and insisted he could make the invitations and print them at his fancy school. He had to have handmade, acid-free paper ordered from Seattle (we were in L.A.) which he then…

The invitations to my November 2001 wedding were mailed on September 10, 2001. The wedding venue? Windows on the World.

Another reason to read regularly is to improve your grammar and writing skills. Part of my job is proofreading/editing, and I credit my ability to the fact that I simply absorbed good writing style from a lifetime of reading.
