Displaced Chicagoan now residing in Beer City, USA. Can be found on the weekends shooting a round of golf, sipping craft beer, or getting way too worked up over Chicago sports teams.
My fiancee has told me for a while now that she hates her last name and can’t wait to take mine once we’re married. Although I wouldn’t be opposed to her keeping her last name, it’s been a huge relief that I haven’t had to worry about the great last name dilemma on top of everything else going on with the upcoming wedding.
I barely use Facebook anymore. However, I will say that on the rare occasion when I do log in, there’s nothing sweeter than coming across the profile of someone that was a bully / asshole to me growing up and finding out that they’ve gone absolutely nowhere in life.
Man I can’t believe I just saw a Dying Fetus reference on PGP. I would have no idea what you were talking about if it weren’t for a kid I knew my sophomore year of college that used to blast them in his room at all hours of the day. Would love to know where that guy ended up post grad.
I hear you on this one. When I first started out at my current job I was in the exact same situation. Then about 6 months in we moved offices and I did everything possible to choose a new spot where it was visible to practically no one. Two years later I’m still in the same spot that I chose so I’d say it’s worked out well.
The way I see it, the only potential benefit to a Sunday date is that if it goes downhill quickly you can easily use the excuse of work the next morning to make a swift exit. With that said, I agree that Sunday is the absolute worst day of the week for a date and it’s not even close. This writer’s take is absolutely psychotic.
I know I’m way late with this comment but I’m floored to see some fellow Grand Rapids postgrads on this site. To the guy who wrote Dillon…it’s tough man but you did the right thing man. If I cross paths with you at some point first round is on me at Founders.
Man I read through this entire thing thinking that I was reading a DeFries article. This lead me to be confused as to why A) Will would just shamelessly toss in a link to your IG and B) Why Will would come out saying he wants a significant other when I’m pretty sure he has one. With that aside, I completely agree with this solid take.
This article hit close to home because I worked in retail after graduating college in order to pay bills while on the job hunt. One of the most awkward things for me was when I finally got someone to sign up for the store credit card but our system declined their application on the spot due to poor credit. I would awkwardly have to tell people “So um…it looks like our system is giving us some trouble right now so we’re going to have to just send your new card in the mail. Have a nice day.”
I can’t comment on the fashion aspect but my advice is that if you wear one while traveling to Australia, NZ, or the UK please do not walk around calling it a fanny pack.
First off, congrats man. Reading this brought back a weird sense of deja vu for me because I also proposed to my fiancee exactly one year ago on September 11th in a similar fashion (we had gone on a hike earlier in the day). Though I hadn’t planned it that way, at the time I was also worried that the date was a bad omen but luckily it turned out well. Best of luck to you two as you move forward and begin planning the wedding. My advice in that regard is to leave yourself with more time than you think you’ll need because a lot of shit will pop up out of nowhere that you hadn’t thought about in the early stages.
I could not agree more with this. My fiancee is fine with me going on the occasional “guys trip” but if I told her that I was planning on going down to NOLA with a bunch of my buddies and she wasn’t invited, I would be in some scalding hot water. My advice in this situation is to still use the points for a weekend in NOLA with the boys but not to scheduled it for New Years if you value your relationship.
This would be my fear as well which is why I will 100% make sure to have a puke bucket in the backseat of my car if I ever drive for Uber/Lyft.

Turtle Chex Mix is a total dark horse here. 10/10 would recommend.

As a man I will openly admit that I cried like a baby the first time I saw the original Pokemon movie.

Ah, so that’s what they’re calling it now a days…”showing you what I do.”
I’m low-key stoked for Flint Town. I’m a big sucker for a good docu series and since it’s a Netflix original it’s got to be good.
Well, if it hadn’t been clear up until that point that things might not work out, the proposal should have been a *dead* giveaway.

Was someone also murdered while the lights were out?

I think this calls for the full story if you’re going to come out swinging like that but not link your Twitter handle in your profile.
