Going off of this, I flame anyone who writes their response ABOVE the quote. Drives me nuts and it seems more and more people are doing it.

Wow that girl from the SB rude people I blocked someone thread came back and replied to a bunch of people.  Her final comment was "It's so nice to see we have a psychologist on the boards who can pinpoint everything so well. Thanks! NOT"  Ooooh she told us!

I flame myself because I kept reading that SN as "Heart he melody" and I was thinking what a weird SN (like I have any room to talk, whatevs). But yeah,  I'm the dumb one here.

I read it as "heart the melody", even though though there is only one "t".

OK I have another one. I cant find the link though.

Anyone else remember the thread about how to respond when vendors ask about the wedding "theme"?
CMGr tried to make some snarky comment like "Its a wedding, that's the theme" and it bugged me.
If anyone actually thought about it for a second, it was a legit question. Just replace theme with vibe/mood/feel/etc.

Lame flame, but at least I'm trying.

I really don't get why everyone was giving the poster on SB the other day such a hard time who wanted to get her fiance an engagement present.  People were making it sound like the guy had demanded a present, but I more got the impression it was something they agreed upon mutually and it was more her pushing for it than him.  She wanted to get the guy a nice gift. So what?  Who cares what the reasoning is for.

I like to give her a hard time because she's fucking bizarre, talking about her "man person."  And yeah, I don't know what $5k thing she could buy him that he'd have forever.  She should just ask him what he wants and if he can't think of anything then she shouldn't have to spend the money.  The whole situation was weird.

The wording was weird, I totally agree. It did sound pretentious. I just don't see why people were in this "OMG it's not tit for tat" and giving her such a hard time for wanting to give him a present. That was just strange to me.

because she started the post with "the man person doesn't feel it's fair for only me to get a gift when we get engaged. he wants something of equal value." He didn't even have a clue what he wanted...just something that cost as much as what she got. And she was being super dramatic with the whole "pre-engagement negotiations" nonsense.

Whenever people asked us what the theme of the Purdue Christmas Show would be each year, we were always told to respond "CHRISTMAS!"  Or snarkily "Duh!  Kwanzaa!"

Pheagles, you said something the other day that made me side eye, but I can't find it and can't remember.  Obviously it affected me a very big way. 

Can I flame the user Meegles, because it makes me say Pheagles in my head, and then I think of Pheagles, but it's not her?

/end lameness.

AllAboutTheBenjamin

I like to give my husband gifts too, but if I always had to make sure that they were of the same exact value as the last gift he gave me, well, I dunno.  That is way too much of a pain in my ass than I ever care to think about.  I just buy what I think he'd like.

Besides if she buys him a wedding band he will (God willing) have that for the rest of his life, so there.
