as a new orleans resident, nola has it’s own unique charm and really shouldn’t be compared these other places. also, with that said, since I’ve lived here all my life, I’ve been there, done that and would not choose here for my Bach party.
I attended public school up until high school, but did go to catechism classes. Growing up, I also didn’t realize there were other people who weren’t Catholic. I thought if you weren’t Catholic then you were Jewish. I’d say around 4th or 5th grade was when I realized there were other non-Catholic Christians.
nope, just outside New Orleans. Protestants are the minority here, but I knew a few of them. Hopefully those people have grown up since then. The two who said I was going to hell also weren’t allowed to celebrate Halloween or Mardi Gras (they’re families were clearly living in the wrong city). New Orleans is not the ideal place for non-open minded Prostestants.
as a fellow Catholic who also grew up in the south (although the city I grew up has a high percentage of Catholics), I was also told a few times by my protestant “friends” that I was going to hell and I worship statutes and shit.
Personally, I think the bridesmaids (particularly the bridesmaid who wrote the email) are being a bit selfish. The MOH, whom is the bride’s sister BTW, made it clear that she could not afford Cancun. Instead of pressing her, you should have just let the MOH and the bride handle it themselves. The reason she said y’all would have to pay her way too is because y’all pressed her about it like immature little sorority girls. Which BTW what does being in the same sorority have to do with anything? Anyways, the point is, you will survive if you end up not going to Cancun. GTF over yourself and let the bride and her sister work it out for themselves.
You’re really inspiring me, Stephanie. I’m in a financial bind myself, I was just thinking to myself today that I should cut up my credit cards, but I don’t want to! I’m looking into getting a side hustle. I’m glad I stumbled upon your latest article. I’ve been reading your articles, funcheaporfree.com, and Dave Ramsey for tips and inspiration. Keep up the good work, and I hope you reach your financial goals soon!
okay, well that mantra works for you, but that doesn’t mean it’s a good idea for her. She’s this opposed to it, and if she ends up doing it, it could a problem that wasn’t there to begin with. and the divorce rate for couples who cohabitate is actually mhigher than couples who don’t.
I’m sorry, but you have bad advice to the first girl. if she’s that opposed to living with someone before marriage then she should stick with those principles. compromising your values is never a good idea.

I agree. that’s so ridiculous. I would never ask my friends to do that.
I used to work with kids with ASD, and we had weighted blankets at our clinic. worked wonders.

I’m not sure what I just read. Many of these things Catholics don’t actually believe or think.

duly noted.

yea there is, but I wasn’t under the impression she thought of moving in with him for practical reasons, like saving money.
doesn’t matter. if you’re that uncomfortable with doing something, then it’s probably best not to do it. no matter how outdated it seems.

if your boyfriend (who I assume is an adult) thinks you don’t poop, then it sounds like you have bigger issues to deal with.
if the kid was a baby it wouldn’t be a big deal, but 6? that’s just inappropriate.
I appreciate funny quotes because it lets me know what their sense of humor is like (i.e. dry, slapstick, highbrow, etc.).
in my profile I just came out and said I was only here for your HBOGO password. they say honesty is the best policy.
