Don’t most registries now just give you the option to ship it to the couple’s home? I can’t remember the last wedding I went to and actually showed up with a gift in hand.
Just recently got interviewed by the FBI for a friend who is now working at DOJ. I don’t know why I was so scared the whole time even though the interview wasn’t about me and I already have a job with the federal government.
Oh I definitely didn’t say I wouldn’t let him. I said I would appreciate anything that he wanted to contribute but he was just shocked it wasn’t my expectation for them to foot the whole bill.
My dad was absolutely floored recently when I told him I didn’t expect for my parents to pay for my future wedding. People are getting married later in life now and most couples I know have paid for weddings themselves with each set of parents just helping with one major item (i.e. bride’s parents buy the dress and groom’s parents help with flowers)
I had a friend who chose to move back home to Boston from DC this year because she was attending/in TEN weddings plus bachelorette parties and couldn’t afford to keep flying back but also didn’t want to tell anyone no. Broke my heart.
I’ve made this argument to my friends before. If a guy can’t handle me as a sore loser at trivia he probably shouldn’t waste any more of his time with me.
Took my parents to my favorite tapas place in DC (Zaytinya) the last time they visited and they absolutely hated it. My dad said there wasn’t enough food and my mom said she just wanted normal food. smh.
I have one of the massive glass Voss bottles that I (secretly) refill with tap water everyday just to make my coworkers think I’m a princess who only drinks Voss. This is probably amusing only to me.
I think my favorite resignation ever was dropping off my letter to my boss and he said, “I really wish I knew you were looking elsewhere because I could have probably gotten you a counteroffer.” My response to him was, “You couldn’t even come close to matching this offer.”
Similar situation for me with a boyfriend of 2.5 years and I never cheated but I got tested every year just out of habit and then again when I suspected him of cheating.

I can’t get past the fact that you don’t know the difference between “apart” and “a part.”
Agreed. I have one I refer to as my “hangover hoodie” because that’s the only time anyone is going to see me wearing it.
I’ve heard an elbow to the face works well too, but I wouldn’t know.
Found this out the hard way in April when a visiting friend clogged my toilet and was shocked I didn’t own a plunger. I now own a plunger.

Find a cause you’re passionate about and spend those days getting paid by your company to volunteer elsewhere.

Also if you don’t let your parents pay for it you make it a lot easier to say no to stupid family demands about who you invite and how you celebrate.

LOL at a $20 bar tab being considered “high” for multiple hours of drinking and entertainment.

The title is quite literally “expanding my horizons…”

Came here to say this. The Camelbak part, not the teet part.

I’m a firm believer that you should have to change a flat tire as part of your driving test.
