as a parent, I think that was an incredibly lovely and thoughtful way to let people know kids aren't invited.

Oh of course there are unreasonable brides. I'm just saying that often the brides get blamed for every issue a guest has even if the bride had nothing to do with it. I've seen people continue to blame the bride even when the groom stepped up and acknowledged that the problem was caused by HIS decision.

I'm getting married in... shit, less than three months, and I like to think I'm quite reasonable. My take on the matter has always been that everyone else is doing me a favor. Literally nobody else on the face of the planet cares about my wedding as much as I do, and the people who show up anyway - never mind the ones…

I've never understood the idea that eating alone was creepy. I do it. I want to eat, and don't want to cook. What (aside from not being able to pay the bill) is stopping me from paying the price for good food made by other people?

While I do think that, in general, as a society, we're missing out on a lot of aspects of "community", I say that knowing that that's something for other people, not me.

I left a server a HUGE tip last week because he allowed me to occupy a 4-person booth, by myself, for an ungodly long time — and most importantly, he didn't make me feel awkward about it.

I mean, is this really a new trend?

The other day, after several hours of moving/unpacking I took my bike out into my new(!) city and went to the bar, sat down, ate an appetizer and (most of) a main course and drank two margaritas and let me tell you, it was amazing. I brought a book, no one bothered me, and I didn't have to wait the usual 15 million…

Me too. The day my mother stopped trying to make breakfast a group activity, and let me eat alone, was the day the number of fights we had dropped dramatically. Waking up is hard enough, and now you people want polite and thoughtful chitchat? Hahaha nope. Please leave me, my leftovers, and my mug of hot chai alone to…

Me too. I love to take myself & my book out for a nice dinner. I've even been known to make reservations when traveling alone, to make sure I can get into some fabby restaurant. And to ask for a table with adequate light for reading. And to order a bottle of wine and dessert too.

I'm the same with breakfast, especially my first year of college. Sitting with people at dinner was okay, but breakfast was best eaten alone. With a cup of coffee, a plate full of hot food, and earbuds in.

How about an app that would match you with a companion by cuisine, meal, and choice of apertif.

My fave is the lip stick application battle in the girls toilet! Love that show ;)

This one's my favorite "surprise reveal" vid:

Cute, but nothing tops this dude.

Uh. In all seriousness, when did Jezebel "mock Chris Brown for being raped as a child"? I am pretty sure Jezebel was big on saying "no, Chris Brown didn't 'lose his virginity' at a ridiculously young age, he was raped." That's not mockery. Hating on Chris Brown for being abusive/not allowing a truly awful thing that…

All of this denim on denim talk brings to mind one of Carson Kressley's many brilliant statements on "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy,"

Never Forget:

Well, I thought this was a great story and then got to the comments. Of course it's easier for him to step down with millions in the bank. I appreciate his candor about his decision. I especially like this:

If my love isn't like a Harlequin Novel, I want no part of it.
