FFF/LFF
Wow, it's been a wild week, and I finally got up early enough in the morning to initiate FFF! So I suppoose there is some silver lining in the overtime I have to work today.'
I flame the random Janay chick on Music who posted the 'Vote for me Yay!" link, then insulted Addie's husband, then got herself banned.
Then I flame this thread: http://forums.theknot.com/Sites/theknot/Pages/Main.aspx/wedding-boards_wedding-party_need-logistics-help-from-someone-whos-traveled-wdodo-someone-in-a-wheelchair-on-public-transportation?plckShowLatestPost=1 for existing, and a special shoutout goes to melissanjoe21 for jumping into the thread to randomly have a nuclear meltdown at all of TK.
My love goes out to Blondieo78 this week, for posting about a sane, respectable, decent, and beautiful vow renewal. Seriously, anyone thinking of having a pretty princess vow renewal, go look at what she's doing, and do that instead.

Re: FFF/LFF
I flame Mbenwitz for thinking bridesmaids should be able to drive and attend bachelorette parties…otherwise they should be demoted to being a junior bridesmaid. And I believe she also used the term “best boy” as well.
I flame bkaygrady’s FMIL for wanting her son to be surprised with his dead father’s wedding band at the ceremony. I’m glad she turned around and decided to listen to our advice!
Joking or not…I flame itzMS for commenting that you’re not an adult if a parent is paying for your wedding.
I flame The Knot for not allowing us to “like” someone’s comment on the boards. This would be so much easier. Oh, and for not having a mobile app for droids.

I know I have more but this was the first one that came to mind..
ETA: Love to Becca#### for her GORGEOUS brooch bouquet and giving instructions for how to make it. She gave birth to my vision of what I want mine to look like.

Don't get me wrong, I do not believe you have to live together before getting married. But that is the stupiest reason ever. It should not even be a reason. It's like "I will love you for better or worse, richer and poorer, but I will not move in with you until we have a full furnised place with shiny new stuff."
I flame SoKissable over on the NEY board for coming on sounding like a whiney brat because she's 28 and not engaged to her BF, his sister's engaged and he's not moving quick enough, and then because he takes home less money than her after bills and can't "afford to live in an apartment with her like he agreed he would" even though she already live on her own. Then she came back and was like "why does me wanting to live with my BF make me a terrible person?!?!?!"
I hope she saw that you can't come in guns a blazing and whining and expect sympathy

I also flame the R/G's sticky about honeymoon registries where crazy birds have flocked to chat with other equally crazy birds to talk about how great HR's are and how their guests loved purchasing them a Brazilian parrot excursion.
My love goes to Pele who cracks me up with her responses regularly.

*facepalm* seriously? I'd prefer to have hand-me-down furnitre and spend like $50-100 to spruce it up with paint/reuphostering than spend like $1000 on a new bedroom set... I'd rather look like a house from Better Homes and Gardens than from the Pottery Barn catalog...

<div>I missed this. There is only one new thing in our apartment, and that's our TV. Everything else was free or under $10. It was either a hand-me-down from his parents, something we already had, something we found somewhere and restored, or purchased from a yard sale and restored. I know not everyone is into that look, but most people assume our stuff was from Pottery Barn or an antique shop. I think that's a really pathetic excuse.</div>

Oh, don't worry. She is getting lots of nice gifts and money for the wedding. Why move in now and use FI's crappy stuff when she can wait to use the good shinny new stuff?
IDK, its just irrationally irritated me.
I haven't been around enough this week to have much in the way of flames.
But my LFF goes to Lia, because I feel like we're i2i 99% of the time. Every time I get to a thread after her she's already said exactly what I would.
[QUOTE]Aww! Thanks guys! I'll add a flame to the chick on CC this morning who posted "I know you're all going to tell me to talk to my doctor, but am I pregnant?" Thread and mlg for thinking that number of attendants has to be limited based on number of guests. I know others here probably agree, but I do not see how this is any different than putting looks over people.

<div>In the time that it took her to write out the eighteen versions of 'I know you're going to say this BBUUUTTTT', she could have just POAS and not got us all riled up this morning. But something's got to go on the FFF, right?</div>
