This was in a recent Miss Manners column - I love the advice she gives to the letter writer. Exactly why do people think they're entitled to anything again? (entire column - with response - in comments)

This is for anyone who either had an updo for your wedding, helped another bride with an updo, or plan to have one yourself: when does the hair come down? For context: my hair is past-my-hips long, and it's all going up on my head. As much as I'd...

I just need to vent and get this out of my system. I usually keep my cool, but this has me angry! I ordered my dress in January, and I loved it the moment I put it on. I knew there would need to be some alterations. It arrived in mid-July, perfectly...

Last weekend, I received a lovely (and high-end) gift off our registry in the mail. When I looked at the packing slip to record who gave it to us, I found that it was completely the wrong one. What I got: a Le Cruset pot (my address information was...

When I travel, I use Trip Case (and love it) to keep my fight, rental, and hotel information up to date. It's been a huge time saver at the airport - I can look at my phone to see what gate I'm landing/leaving from, instead of looking at the boards...

Hello ladies and gents of WW! I'm having a good idea/bad idea debate with myself. Advice, opinions, and votes appreciated! Some of our friends throw a HUGE Halloween bash every year. They've graciously scheduled it around our wedding in October...

FH and I are discussing our honeymoon; we've pretty much decided we'd like to go to Hawaii, but thought about adding a few days in Las Vegas before heading home. I was wondering if anyone had any pros/cons between using a travel agency or trying to...

Full disclosure: I do not personally have any tattoos yet. I have a couple of designs in mind, but I need to wait until after the wedding before I pursue any of them. So, does anyone have any skin art they want to share? Does it have a story behind...

Thank you, Tina! I got my lovely, shiny penny in the mail yesterday! Then I had to explain to FH A) What the penny is for; and B) That no, I'm not planning to start taking classes anywhere. LOL

If I had to pick a theme song right this minute, it'd definitely be Meredith Brooke's "Bitch" - or maybe the Soup Dragons' "Divine Thing" Please tell me I'm not alone! What's your theme song for this Friday?

It's no secret among my family that FH and I are planning a "twisted traditional" kind of wedding (more me than FH). This means we're doing a pretty traditional, evening wedding, but there will be small twists of our personalities in there - LOTR or...

It's Friday; let's have some fun! What are some phrases or things you say frequently that make other people laugh or ask what in blazes you mean? They can be regional, cultural, just you, whatever! "Holy shish-kabob!" My go-to when I'm at work and...

FH and I have been kayaking a few times (with rentals) and really enjoyed it! We'd like to purchase our own, but we realized we don't know enough about the different brands and styles to make an informed decision. Does anyone kayak and have...

What are some pearls of wisdom you've acquired that you'd like to share? It can be anything - funny, serious, about life, love, friendship . . . anything at all! My first one: when driving down a highway clearly marked as 55 MPH, especially on a...

This coming Monday is the 120th running of the Boston Marathon. Is anyone running it or participating in some other way? (I have to work, but I'll be cheering everyone on from my desk) If anyone is running, I say to you: Good luck! Stay safe! I tip...
