    I had a few issues with yesterday's "change the date" posts.  A lie by omission is still a lie.  I have kids who don't give their parents their progress reports because they don't want them to see their grades until they bring them up.  That's a lie by omission.While I am a relatively good Catholic girl, it makes me want to vomit a little when someone says "The Bible says".  It's good enough for some to throw that out there when they want to support something they have an opinion about but then those same people want to completely forget about the Bible in other parts of their lives.  Just sayin'.

    Just because we work together...does not mean your getting invited to my wedding!!! And I will NOT invite you! So stop asking me if your name is on the guestlist or if I need your address to send your STD. Get a life! And besides....I cant even count with how many times you have told me "thanks for helping me out, I will buy you lunch!" 3 years later...I have yet to get any free lunch!

    Julie - Yes and yes. What you said. The school that I had a phone interview with last week (hopefully they'll contact me for an in-person interview soon!) gives a 20% discount on plastic surgery to their employees if they get it done at the school's medical center. And, if it's an elective surgery not covered by insurance, they'll give an additional 20% discount on top of the already discounted price. Heck yes, I would totally take advantage of that!

    Dear college students: What is with the need of stepping right out in front of an oncoming car?  Also, why run out in front of me and just stop?  Do you know how many points I could have if I would have hit all of you that did that yesterday?

    Although the Today show segment on TTD made me feel a little less negative about the idea, I still don't like it and I can't put my finger on why.

    I have nothing really good to say today... I was browsing around the Florida Gators fan website and found Florida Gator toothbrushes. I've already decided that that is what I am going to get my Dad for Christmas. I think that is hilarious!

    Sometimes I'm scared to ask questions on this board because of past responses I've seen to other people's post.  Some of the responses I understand, but at the same time, isn't there a nicer way to state things?I think I'm too sensitive sometimes...okay, a lot of the time.

    My boss is out of town. I would really like to BS my way through this day and not actually get any work done. When the cat's away...

    My mom doesn't like the house we're buying and it pisses me off.  It's not her house.  My MIL is ECSTATIC for us and my mom can't even fake it.  It makes me not want to talk to her at all. To top it off, she has the nerve to ask me if we'd be willing to watch her dog for her while my dad and her go out of town for a job he has to do for 8-9 months.Absolutely not.  And second of all, maybe if you'd be a real mom to me I'd be thinking more about helping you out.Also, e-mails to me are not the same as calling me on the phone.

    I am beyond ticked at the stupid realtor of the buyers of our house. We countered their offer 9 days ago and he has yet to get back to us. He met with them on Wednesday and promised us an answer and still NOTHING. It is really really really about to make this pregnant lady crazy!

    I DO have a problem with uneven sides, and I don't think I should be flamed just because I like symmetry. Why is it such a big deal to people? I want even sides! *not that this is a problem in my wedding, we had even sides naturally, but I think some women just really want to push their opinions on people.

    I'm tired of my MIL and step-mom asking me if I'll cook more once we move into our house.  What if I don't?  Does that make me a bad wife?  My husband isn't starving and he actually enjoys cooking occasionally.  I hate the fact that they are pushing the house cleaning/cooking/I have to do all the laundry because I'm the woman stereotype on me.  My husband is perfectly capable of washing clothes and using a vacuum, despite the fact that his mother thought that was woman's work and never taught him how to do it.  He's learned a lot since he's lived with me :)

    but I think some women just really want to push their opinions on people. I don't think anyone has ever been rude about uneven sides.  They just stated that they think it's fine and not to stress over it.  Why would I have someone in my wedding who is a stress manufacturer just to have even sides?  If you want it, we all say go for it but we say not to stress over it.

    I've never pushed my opinion on anyone.   I simply give my opinion when someone asks for it. Ask and ye shall receive.

Ditto Julie.Also, sometimes there's no nice way to say "you're over-reacting and in the grand scheme of things what you're worrying about is not a big deal".  And sometimes people need to hear, "Not everyone is going to be as excited about your wedding as you are".

    I'm uncomfortable when girls on here post about their own or their joint financial situations.  I really REALLY don't think this is the place for it.  And I just usually end up judging them, which isn't fair of me, I know...but when I'm only hearing that side of a story, I can't help but think, "Wow. Good luck with that when you're married."  My DH and I have had our financial issues and anyone who just heard parts of them would assume things about us, too, I'm sure, so I just think those things are better left private.

    Mariah, can I play Devil's Advocate and not piss you off (I hope?)?  The same goes for babies, new houses, workout regimens, etc.  It's kind of the same, isn't it?  A person is going to be most excited about something he/she is doing, and very few people will match that excitement, because it is such a personal thing.

    Stephie,My MIL was asking Bill before we got engaged who was going to do the cooking once we got married.  I'm sure they would have a huge problem with me if they knew that we had Merry Maids coming in every other Wednesday.  They very definitely have a problem with how much we eat out.  However, we're both very busy and sometimes getting something at Central Market is just as easy and not that bad on your pocket book.

    It makes me very uncomfortable when knotties suggest to other knotties that perhaps they shouldn't get married. Maybe they should, maybe they shouldn't...but it is certainly not our place to decide.  They chose to marry that person and most people know what kind of trouble they are signing up for...they don't need our help.

    I don't care who you are-- if you're already married, it is asinine to have a second wedding ceremony and NOT call it a vow renewal. It is not a wedding if you already had a wedding and have lived together as a married couple for any length of time. Also: I'm totally glad that my dress isn't actually trashed. The front of it looks great, and that's good enough for me. I will still be able to pull it out of the closet years from now and put it on for an anniversary or something and have it take a pretty photo.

    It makes me very uncomfortable when knotties suggest to other knotties that perhaps they shouldn't get married.Uh, yeah. I just cringe the whole time I read posts telling someone they aren't ready. It makes me sooo uncomfortable. We don't live the day-to-day with each other, so we don't know how others' relationships really are.However, I think it is unfair when knotties air out all of their FIs' dirty laundry here on an internet message board. I totally end up judging relationships-- and cringing some more...

    I feel like being the crying girl in Mean Girls right now when they have the assembly - "I wish I could bake a cake full of rainbows and smiles and everyone would eat and be happy."Mmm, cake!
