No way! Those are the best because a) no travel which means shorter time between ceremony and party and b) the ceremonies are almost universally shorter than an offsite. Now, somehow finagle a full Catholic mass ceremony at the reception venue—THEN you are a monster. :-)

Have all the wine :-)

Thanks :-) As I mentioned in other comments, this doesn’t affect me and it’s four years until it affects my daughter. Normally I would never ask a semi-ignorant question like this but I honestly didn’t know and wouldn’t have a reason to use The Google for a few years yet. So thank you and I’m 99% sure the kid will get…

I agree— normally I would research (and in a good way, not a crazy naturalnews.com sort of way) but was lazy tonight due to lack of involvement. And wine.

Thank you. My question was casual because it does not immediately affect me (meaning my daughter is four years away). I'm convinced, say no more. :-)

Thank you :-)

Thank you. My daughter is a few years away from the vaccine so I will watch the research but appreciate the data.

I get that, but isn’t it true that cervical cancer can be caught and treated very early? I’m a sample size of one, I have HPV and had a LEEP done seven years ago. No sign since.

I JUST introduced my 8 year old to Punch Buggy like, a month ago. I had NO IDEA that my neighborhood is littered with the things so I get punched daily. LOL

I think the city does what it can (same with Chicago). Without a national policy you can’t just stop firearms at the border. Regardless, this guy was legal.

With a permit, and the shooter had one. But NYC makes it really hard to own a gun, much less carry. Rumor is Russian mob.

I have friends who are Jesse and Jessee. :-)

I totally get it and I promise for the large room organizing days she gets input. :-) She is not a brat but she is admittedly spoiled— lots of family and friends who gift (plus the lucky kid gets Christmas AND Hanukkah) and keeping it under control is tough especially in an apartment.

I was being a bit tongue-in-cheek. I wouldn’t throw away, say, her American Girl dolls or her Frozen playset, but I will throw out broken Barbies and cheap plastic crap from goody bags etc. And it’s much less of a hassle if she doesn’t see me do it, and I promise you she never misses it.

That’s a good idea. My daughter is old enough now to do that—and her birthday is coming up, so perfect way to do out with the old, in with the new!

With kids, you just throw stuff away when they’re sleeping. They’ll never know. It’s only when they see you do it that the object in question—that they haven’t seen or played with in months—is suddenly MAMA WHY ARE YOU THROWING AWAY MY FAVORITE TOY?

I go to the Queens Zoo a fair amount and have seen the pudus many times (not the baby yet). It's a great little zoo— big enough to spend two or three hours and manageable for the little ones.

I think she probably faked the c-section appointment, too.

I would be shocked if she’d actually been pregnant. I think she faked it and dragged it on too long and then panicked.

Thanks for the tip—we JUST started putting extra money toward our mortgage last month (which is dumb, we should have been doing it all along)—just checked and Chase is indeed putting the extra toward principal. Whew!
