So, with the two of us paying for our wedding, and no one else involved with the planning, I thought we'd avoided all the passive-aggressive comments. Apparently, I was wrong. I just got a Christmas...
I first came here back in 2009 for help in planning my wedding to NotFroofy. In March of this year, my son got married. And just when I thought I was through wedding planning, I find I'm going to be...
“We're losing on that one, especially among the 20- and 30-somethings: 65 to 70 percent of them favor same-sex marriage,” says Daly in the interview. “I don't know if that's going to change with a...
Yes, I know this is a hot-button issue with some people. And yes, I know that some people have difficulties with spelling and grammar due to being dyslexic, having English as a second language, etc....
The royal wedding was not actually based on Cinderella.
Spot the differences between the two photos.
I just managed to get the FitLinxx site to let me log in so I could check my workout reports. It turns out that for March, I burned 30,819 calories, which placed me at number 1 (out of 67) in my local...
Friday, bicycling home from a dentist appointment, I was being pelted by cold rain. Today, bicycling home from a dentist appointment, it was 86°F in the suburbs, which probably means 10°F higher than...
A DC club is moving to a new (and smaller) location, and is selling off a lot of its equipment, including lighting. General terms and conditions can be found at this link. Specific items up for bid...
I just ran across a New York Times obituary of my great-great-grandfather. (For those of you who didn't major in genealogy, that would be my grandfather's grandfather.) It includes such memorable...
Here is the story, and here is the NOM strategist's blog post. I have very mixed feelings about this. I'm not sure whether to be happy that even someone previously so confirmed in his anti-gay...
Here is the original post for background. I am relieved to say that everything went well at the meeting with the three lawyers today. NotFroofy had been cleaning and redecorating the house for a week,...
I'm a self-employed attorney and I have worked out of my home for the past five years. Since virtually all of my work is done by phone, fax, and e-mail, this has always worked well. However, I am...
NotFroofy went to get prints of a few of our wedding photos today. Ritz, where she got them, refused to give her the prints unless she could show them a copy of the contract stating that we had...
I got e-mails from both Target and 1-800-FLOWERS today about an e-mail security breach at Epsilon, the company that manages the e-mail systems for both of them. It appears that Epsilon has thousands...
I actually had to hang around for a couple of hours, and then take him back home. In gratitude, he took NotFroofy and me to dinner, and gave me a bottle of Bailey's Irish Cream. I am therefore...
I am still choking over this "daily deal" from Living Social:
My son got married today--and none of the things I was worried about happened! 1. My father came up and gave me a big hug. My mother didn't try to talk to me. I managed a smile and a "hi" to her in...
For background, see this post. So today, we learn that although the bride's mother has figured out that my marriage is a same-sex one, she has not told the bride's father. She assumes he will just...
My son is getting married on Sunday. I'm thrilled that my son has found someone he loves, who also loves him, and they are getting married. The wedding, though, is going to be incredibly stressful....
