[QUOTE]I thought Mandys thread trying to call out Sucrets for making a comment about her was super f*cking lame.  Why not put it in the thread where the original comment occurred?  What Sucrets said was sort of redonk, but making some drama llama thread about it far eclipsed the original offense.   It was also funny that Sucrets and her "brigade" didn't even bother to respond to it, which made the whole thing that much more stupid.

[QUOTE]My opinion stays the same, as I'm sure yours does on the LBD thread. But why agree to pay for a hotel and male entertainer and then complain about potentially having to buy an item that can be bought for way cheap? Or borrowed even?
Posted by Femlin[/QUOTE]

My complaint about the LBD isn't the cost of it, I just think the idea of dictating what people wear to a bach party is absurd.

But personally, there is very little chance I would ever attend a bach party that required me to get a hotel room.

emilyinchile

Yeah, my knot's slow.

And in reference to my paranormal flame, no, nothing paranormal has happened to me. I take the same view on it as I do god - I may well be wrong, in which case I accept the consequences (hell or haunting), but in my mind those things just don't make sense.

ETA: I guess it's not technically a flame because I don't care if you believe in ghosts anymore than I care what religion you are. I was just really surprised - as far as I know, most of my friends don't believe in paranormal things, and I didn't expect so many people to say that they did.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: FFF : It depends on your BMs, though. I personally don't wear much jewelry. I have a few necklaces I wear (maybe once every 2 weeks) because they were given as gifts and they match some of my clothes. If the rewearability is high and they like jewelry, fine. If it's costume jewelry in your wedding colors, no thanks. I trust my BMs to accessorize themselves. They're wearing cocktail length dresses and I still dont' care what shoes they wear. I also think my 5'8" BM will wear heels and my 5' 3" BM will wear flats. Don't care!
Posted by msmerymac[/QUOTE]

I'm with you. I really didn't give two shiits about the shoes they wore.

The ONLY downside to this was that two of my BMs that knew one another really well decided to wear red shoes. The third BM showed up with black and was really worried that she wouldn't match the other two. I told her I didn't care and that I thought they all looked great together, but there was a definite feeling from her that she wished I'd just told them all what to wear. <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" />

Lala- In my post "I Judge My Friend" I said in the OP that my friend told me something that was weird and I didn't know how to respond to it because I felt it would really affect our friendship.  I then clarified in a later post that the weird thing she told me was that she wants to have sex with a dog.

The noobs who chimed in on page 3 only read my OP and didn't read all the way through to find out what her secret was and thus labeled me a bad friend for judging her.

That and the fact that there were jokes made by L-Bride and JayJoe that some found hilarious and others found disgusting pretty much sum up that whole thing.

Posted by MISSCOURTNEY20[/QUOTE]

It's not like a theme shower. You can't tell everyone to bring kitchen utensils or cash or whatever to a wedding. Gifts are optional. Lots of people bring gifts to help the couple celebrate, but the *real* celebration is the actually ceremony and the party. You can't dictate any gift someone picks for you, period. (Again, unless it's a theme shower, where the point is gifts.)

It's tiring to have to decipher your posts. If you're asking if I'm having a wishing well reception, the answer is no, because it's rude. If you're asking if I think wishing well receptions are rude, the answer is yes. It's not okay to ask for money.

This.

I go to one of the largest African Amer. churches in Chicago and I am also affiliated with many groups, clubs, etc. I have never heard that having a wishing well reception was rude. Now many of them were for African Amer., so maybe in our culture wishing wells are done. Who knows? One thing that we all need to realize is that what is rude in one culture, may not be rude in another. ie. slurping your soup, not giving eye contact, and even wishing wells.

I think that these boards can be extremely helpful and I have gotten a ton of help from them. But I also feel that there are many women here who look for reasons to be mean and cruel to other people. I get the whole FFF thing and that is fine. Let off some steam from some things that you have seen during the week, but being nasty to people is beyond me. The old MISSCOURTNEY would have said some nasty things not even 5 years ago, but I thank, only, the Lord for helping me to grow and realize that I don't have to be nasty to nasty people. Their's will come.

Happy Friday Knotties. Time to get my students ready to go home!

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.

Wait - I am just jumping in here, but students?  Does that mean you are simultaneously teaching and knotting?

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.

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.
