We’re in the married, 5+ years together category. We did it big the first few years as almost a need to make sure other people knew how much we cared about each other. Now for her birthday we usually go to a $35-50 dinner and go look at Christmas lights at the Opryland hotel. We both would rather have have low key birthdays and holidays in order to get that house in the burbs just a little sooner.
My dad hugged me for the first time when I graduated college, and it was weird as hell. I think he mostly did it because everyone else was, and it would look strange if he was the one person who went in for a hand shake. My dad and I have a good relationship we’re just not huggers and we’re happy with the arrangement. That being said my wife barely speaking to her dad makes my life much less awkward. If I don’t hug my own dad I feel like getting to the hugging stage with my FIL would be an awkward bullet that I’d have to bite.
On Touching Base the other day. There was a fake vice headline about Ecosexuals believing that we could save the Earth by have carnal relations with it. Dave then went on to talk about how they can do whatever they want behind closed doors as long as they aren’t hurting anyone. Are you concerned that Dave does not care at all that the Earth cannot effectively consent?
I joke about having a quarter life crisis since I’m hitting 25 this month, but lets be honest I like red meat and beer too much. I hit my quarter life somewhere between 18-20.
Climate is also a big factor against it. One of the metrics was cancelled or delayed flights. No wonder Honolulu and Phoenix made the list how many flights do you think are grounded for ice and snow there compared to Detroit. Detroit had an uphill battle to fight just by being in the northern states.
Haven’t been since about 2004, but it was a hell scape back then. We landed in the new terminal, and 13 year old me was blown away about how nice it was. Our layover was 6 hours though, and our flight was out of the older terminal. All of my excitement disappeared when that golf car dropped us off. Half the stores were closed, and there was only an Auntie Ann’s, a shitty Mexican restaurant, and a Starbucks kiosk.
This explains Dave’s persistent drive to increase his LinkedIn network. If social media makes you live forever you’ll need some good business contacts to bank roll that.
I should have thought twice before marrying a woman who drives a Jeep Liberty, but what can I say love makes you do foolish things. Plus when you can’t afford to put more than $50 in savings a month it doesn’t take that much to run through it. We are replacing the damn thing within the first 2 paychecks of me taking the bar in July.
Pay*. How many comments, of arguable worth, have to be ruined by not paying attention to autocorrect before you give us an edit button? Have you no decency?
How does one quiet an office job? Did you hang up a sign reminding people to use head phones? I just can’t figure out how this would lead to a party raise.
We did assault and battery one year. She dressed as the Morton’s salt girl and I was a Duracell. Since most people we saw were law students it went over pretty well. It took way too much explanation everywhere else. Any costume that you have to constantly explain isn’t worth it.

Interesting tactic for trying to get rid of the nickname Millennial Chair.
Congrats on the home ownership.

I can’t wait for the change in hair. People are willing to pay you so much more just because they assume you have experience.

May be doing some research on my state later, and if it’s the same as Texas frantically text all of my friends who partake.
Hey now, 2 Not Broke Girls knows how to make it work. Don’t go around equating her to the millennial chair.

Nevermind, I just read the rest of the comments. He obviously needs a vacation.
Hey only God can judge Dave. Let him do his job!

Earl grey has helped me get back to normal more than once.
If I were to go cold turkey on my daily PED and coffee routine I’d probably go into a coma.
