Wedding Etiquette Forum

I think it's time for a poll.

Or just a bunch of conversation starters that are on my mind.

1. What is your opinion of rabbits?

2. What do you know about all girls Catholic high schools? I have an interview with one tomorrow and know very little, and am spending my morning researching.

3. How old were you when you lost your V card? I'm watching Fresh Prince and it's the episode where Carlton loses his, so I'm curious.

4. How long would you estimate it would take, from paying the deposit/signing the contract to finished product, to rip up an old patio and pour a new concrete one?

5. What do you miss most from the 90s? (If anything)

    1. What is your opinion of rabbits? Irritating creatures that eat my vegetables.

    2. What do you know about all girls Catholic high schools? I have an interview with one tomorrow and know very little, and am spending my morning researching. Not much, clearly. I do know I don't have to be Catholic to teach there.

    3. How old were you when you lost your V card? I'm watching Fresh Prince and it's the episode where Carlton loses his, so I'm curious. 18

    4. How long would you estimate it would take, from paying the deposit/signing the contract to finished product, to rip up an old patio and pour a new concrete one? At this rate, 6 months.

    5. What do you miss most from the 90s? (If anything)

    1. What is your opinion of rabbits? They are super cute but their cages almost always stink.

    2. What do you know about all girls Catholic high schools? I have an interview with one tomorrow and know very little, and am spending my morning researching. A whole lot of nothing.. Oh, Don't get pregnant before you are married.

    3. How old were you when you lost your V card? I'm watching Fresh Prince and it's the episode where Carlton loses his, so I'm curious.  18-19, I was a prude. :)

I have an interview with one tomorrow and know very little, and am spending my morning researching.<strong>  One of my sisters attended one and absolutely loved it.  One of my cousins, too.  Not so much the Catholic part, but the same-sex school environment, they said, was incredibly freeing, supportive, and awesome.  </strong>

  • 1. What is your opinion of rabbits?  They make our dog and cats go BSC.  But they're cute.

    2. What do you know about all girls Catholic high schools? My friend teaches at an all-girls Catholic middle school on the East Coast, and she loves it.  She says it's surprisingly liberal and they have lots of money to be able to do cool projects, like adopt a school in Kenya.

    3. How old were you when you lost your V card?  19.

    4. How long would you estimate it would take, from paying the deposit/signing the contract to finished product, to rip up an old patio and pour a new concrete one?  No idea.  I have zero concept of how home renovations work.

    5. What do you miss most from the 90s? Koala Yummies.  What happened to them?

  • 1. What is your opinion of rabbits?  Meh - we had one in our 2nd grade classroom and on the classroom helper chart sometimes you were assigned to picking up "presents".  Kind of turned me off.

    2. What do you know about all girls Catholic high schools? I have an interview with one tomorrow and know very little, and am spending my morning researching.   Not much.  I do know about an all girls academy that a friend went to and she actually loved it. 

    3. How old were you when you lost your V card? I'm watching Fresh Prince and it's the episode where Carlton loses his, so I'm curious.   Not really the share the info type.

    4. How long would you estimate it would take, from paying the deposit/signing the contract to finished product, to rip up an old patio and pour a new concrete one?  A week?  idk.

    5. What do you miss most from the 90s? (If anything)  Being a kid, having summers off and spending the day at the pool, all day, every day.

    Seriously, we paid the deposit on this stupid patio and signed the contract on May 3rd, and they still won't be able to START ripping our old one out for another 3 weeks. WTF?

  • 1. What is your opinion of rabbits?  they're smelly and they dig at their cages and wake me up (my old roommate had one)

    2. What do you know about all girls Catholic high schools? I have an interview with one tomorrow and know very little, and am spending my morning researching.  Not a damn thing except that all of us public school girls thought they were loose.

    3. How old were you when you lost your V card? I'm watching Fresh Prince and it's the episode where Carlton loses his, so I'm curious.  19 to my high school boyfriend of 2 years.

    4. How long would you estimate it would take, from paying the deposit/signing the contract to finished product, to rip up an old patio and pour a new concrete one?   depends on your contractor, but our friend's parents just got a whole new complicated patio built and it was started and done within a week so maybe add a week or two for contract stuff?  (they spent a couple of months designing, but it doesn't sound like you have that problem)

    5. What do you miss most from the 90s? (If anything)  mmm...being able to wear oversized comfy flannel shirts and be in style?

  • 1. I like them. But they smell if you don't really keep up with them.  I found this out by catching 2 wild rabbits when I was younger and trying to hide them from my parents.  When they found out my dad went on a 20 minute rant about how I could have brought diseases into the house, and I could kill them.  I felt terrible.  Now, I like them, just not as pets.

    2. Nothing.

    3. 16

    4. 7-10 days.  Depending on the size, and the number of jobs they have lined up before beginning yours.

    5. TV shows.

    Apparently they had a lot of jobs lined up before ours. Oh, and now there is construction on our street that we got no warning about, so I don't think they can start our patio until the whole streat is done. I'm glad I'm not going crazy, I keep trying to convince H that this time frame is not normal and he keeps looking at me like I'm nuts.

    PS- sorry this isn't a more exciting poll, clearly I'm preoccupied with the patio crap. I wanted to have people over for 4th of July :( Anyway how is everyone doing? Since this isnt' terribly exciting, anyone have any better poll questions?

  • 1. What is your opinion of rabbits?
    Cute and fabulous, but not good pets.

    2. What do you know about all girls Catholic high schools?
    All I know is that, from the one we used to play in basketball, those girls have potty mouths.

    3. How old were you when you lost your V card?
    21

    4. How long would you estimate it would take, from paying the deposit/signing the contract to finished product, to rip up an old patio and pour a new concrete one?
    Probably a week or 2

    5. What do you miss most from the 90s? (If anything)
    Hm.  Nothing I can think of really.

  • 1. What is your opinion of rabbits?  cute but smelly. 

    2. What do you know about all girls Catholic high schools? I didn't go to one but my mom did and she loved it.  I have some friends who went to them too and they have mixed reviews.  Some schools I guess are really catty but some are chill.  I think it all depends on how strict it's run and if the administration tolerates that crap.  Good luck!

    3. How old were you when you lost your V card? Um, I haven't yet but I will in 10 days.  I'll be 23.  Yeah, I know...you're all rolling your eyes.

    4. How long would you estimate it would take, from paying the deposit/signing the contract to finished product, to rip up an old patio and pour a new concrete one?  No idea but it sucks that it's taking so long for you.  

    5. What do you miss most from the 90s? Everything.  The clothes, the music, the movies, the tv show, my childhood.

  • 1. What is your opinion of rabbits?  I think they are adorable, but the cages always smell awful.  I'm not one to pick up poop. 

    2. What do you know about all girls Catholic high schools?  I went to an all girls catholic college.  I know that is a little different than what you are asking, but I LOVED it!  It is amazing how much easier it is to get along with women when you take men completely out of the picture.  Everyone was very supportive and people took the time to get to know each other.  I was very close with my classmates and they became my second family.

    3. How old were you when you lost your V card?  19

    4. How long would you estimate it would take, from paying the deposit/signing the contract to finished product, to rip up an old patio and pour a new concrete one?  Ugh I hate home improvements!  I always think something is simple and it shouldn't take long, yet it takes forever for people to complete.  In other words, I have no idea.

    5. What do you miss most from the 90s? (If anything) I don't really know if there is anything I miss.
  • 1. What is your opinion of rabbits? They're cute, but gross. My mom has one. It was supposed to be my sister's, but of course my mom ended up taking care of it. Also, they're stealthily evil.

    2. What do you know about all girls Catholic high schools? I have an interview with one tomorrow and know very little, and am spending my morning researching. I know nothing.

    3. How old were you when you lost your V card? I'm watching Fresh Prince and it's the episode where Carlton loses his, so I'm curious. Twenty-two. I'd take it back if I could and save it for my H, since it was underwhelming, to say the least.

    4. How long would you estimate it would take, from paying the deposit/signing the contract to finished product, to rip up an old patio and pour a new concrete one? Depending on the contractor, anywhere from two weeks to six months. It's all about what you agree to.

    5. What do you miss most from the 90s? (If anything) Being skinny. Yearly family vacations. My grandpa.
  • 1. What is your opinion of rabbits?  Cute, but I don't want one in my house

    2. What do you know about all girls Catholic high schools? Not a thing

    3. How old were you when you lost your V card?  26. Word.

    4. How long would you estimate it would take, from paying the deposit/signing the contract to finished product, to rip up an old patio and pour a new concrete one?
    527 hours and 48 minutes

    5. What do you miss most from the 90s?  Silly family sitcoms (i.e. Fresh Prince, Family Matters, Blossom, etc.)

    4. How long would you estimate it would take, from paying the deposit/signing the contract to finished product, to rip up an old patio and pour a new concrete one?
    A week?
    5. What do you miss most from the 90s? (If anything)
