[QUOTE]It's just as annoying when MissCourtney says "In Chicago we do this" as when Kristin says "In the South, we do that." No one named them Queen of Chicago or Dutchess of the South. They can speak about what they've seen, what is common in thier social/familial circles, but to say that their experience = what is done in a certain region is really arrogant.

I agree. It's the generalizations that rub me wrong. If you and your family want to be tacky and you're ok with that, well h*ll I'm ok with that too then. But my entire family is from Chicago and this wouldn't fly. Andplusalso - T is from San Diego and he says "kick rocks" - so sorry - that's not a Chicago thing either.

[QUOTE]I also feel like my wardrobe is still way smaller than other people's due to having a uniform for 7 years in middle/high school. I just never caught up to the sheer amount of stuff that everyone else has.I also now flame a whole bunch of people in the ouija board thread who believe not only in ghosts but that something that is basically a board game has magical powers to talk to said ghosts. I just don't see how normal, smart people believe in things like that (although apparently they do?).
Posted by emilyinchile[/QUOTE]

I feel like I'm fairly intelligent (although certainly not normal, hehe), and I also had an experience with an Ouija board that will haunt me for the rest of my life. I'm in the camp that if you can't absolutely prove that something doesn't exist, I have to entertain the possibility that it can.

Which is why I have NO idea why I watch horror movies.

[QUOTE]A "theme shower"? wtf is that? Okay, if a hostess can't tell you how to dress then they damn sure can't tell you what gift to bring. I've never heard of that before.
Posted by Femlin[/QUOTE]

Like a lingerie shower. I haven't been to one, just heard about them on TK. I guess it's a way to get around not having a shower if someone doesn't register. <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-undecided.gif" border="0" alt="Undecided" title="Undecided" /> But since it's a decision of the host, whatever.

I know that I am a newb here but, I wanted to agree with this. In my hometown (amongst family and friends) the dollar dance is a normal thing to do. However, I wouldn't say that here in the midwest (which generalizes the whole state) that the dollar dance is normal. I want to add though I do have the tendency to say "where I'm from". I just am intending to talk about what would be normal in my circle, not the whole state.

MrsB-How are you feeling today? I hope all is well.

FutureMrsTR · June 2010

I would be really interested to hear some people's experiences with the Ouija board. I believe that some spirits hang around and my mom's cousin's daughter has seen a few. I find the whole thing fascinating.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: FFF : Those aren't that uncommon, I don't think. Like a 'stock the kitchen' or where each person is 'assigned' a room to shop for. My favorite is when we're asked to bring a favorite recipe.
Posted by louisvillebride21[/QUOTE]

I can get behind asking people to bring a fave recipe.

But I was flamed for saying that I thought it was okay (and common in my circle) if a hostess tells you to buy a black dress for a b-party, and I'm having trouble seeing the difference between that and a hostess telling you to bring a gift for a specific room in the house.

If you can't tell an adult how to dress why would it be okay to tell them what gift they need to bring?

I think it's some Asian cultures that consider it proper etiquette. Like a sign of approval to the chef or host or something.

She said cultures, not circles. In Japan, and possibly other Asian cultures, it is customary to slurp your noodles.

And my shower hosts are asking everyone to bring their favorite vegetarian recipe on a card! I'm pumped. All I ever cook is my mom's recipes (which are all healthy) or stuff from Cooking Light, so I'm looking forward to some splurges :)

Posted by jajph1974[/QUOTE]

I started laughing when I read that too. There's something about MISSCOURTNEY that cracks me up. She's like that really outgoing person in the room of a party with a dash of crazy who you keep paying attention to because well, she's crazy. I feel like she's good hearted but just doesn't know any better.
I'm also not surprised that she's having a wishing well wedding or whatever it's called. On her wedding website she politely tells her guests that it's a "ADULT ONLY" reception. Yip, in caps.

TR, you just freaked me out... Your other post says it's by "Natalie&J..." and I did a double-take. Silly Knot!

Mandy's hair is lovely, but you, Manda, are standing in front of the Eiffel tower so you get superawesome points for that. I can find reasons to be jealous of virtually every poster on this board.
