Things I've Learned from Knotties..
to liven things up a bit...
dreamalotmp - always watch your step. Wearing a boot is not fun. LAUGH hard and laugh often.
snorge - be nice to people, even when it's painful
nunu&eddie - Even some of your closest friends will hate things that you did at your wedding (like a head table). It doesn't mean that they love you any less, just that they judge your wedding.
d78 - keep a positive outlook on life even when things get tough. Sometimes when people look at you funny, it's just because they don't understand what you're talking about!
dicer2 - don't take life too seriously!
jennybee1029 - sometimes the nicest ones can also be the bitchiest
LOL
l2thec42 - never give up hope and keep a positive attitude
elisha - that I am not the only one with a bitchy sister
NOWWWW, go

Re: Things I've Learned from Knotties..
married knotties- if it's doesn't get done by your wedding day, it wasn't important to begin with
Pittsburgh sig: Favorite thing about fall= college football!
dicer2-- Don't settle. Even if it means you'll live with shag carpet for 6 months.
heyitsjenn-- If I need someone to make a raunchy joke, Jenn's the one to call.
snorgie-- There might be another side to the story, don't judge...yet.
dreamalotmp-- There are people out there clumsier than me.
d78-- Sometimes being joyful makes you forget whether you ordered dinner or not.
L2thec42-- Push yourself until you get where you want to be, and sometimes there's ice cream at the finish line.
er&jer-- Sometimes the glass really is half empty. And a BM dress makes for a very hawt wedding dress!
jennybee-- Being an adventurer can bring great rewards, and camel poop.
crazystance-- Surround yourself with good people. It's always a party with crazystance, just don't invite her friends.
kwynn-- There's an answer for every question, just look harder.
KR-- Good things come to those who plan well. And never include registry info in an invite.
Jenn(new)-- Sometimes everyone else is an @sshole.
S-- Did you have a head table at your wedding? *eyeroll*
LOL
I'll think of more!
LaFemme-- Good things come in LOLz
MissIzz- Even after working retail for the holidays someone can still look forward to Christmas and not be a scrooge.
Snorge- When someone pages you and says that they know you it's not always a stalker, sometimes they really do know you IRL and that's good because without TK who knows when you would have seen them again.
Hey It's Jenn- It's great to have friends to laugh at things no one else is laughing at with.
Er/Jer- It's ok to be a beer snob.
Marburs- I'm not the only one who is sometimes indecisive and that's perfectly cool.
All knotties-Being an everyday part of an online board is really fun and very stress relieving. If I liked my IRL friends more I'd invite them
Married knotties- The decisions that I'm making so far are the right ones for me and that's all that matters.
[QUOTE]from the OG FIF's - don't take things so seriously, it's a freaking internet message board. And if you do get worked up about something, there are probably emails flying around talking about what a beebee you're being.

No joke, snorted.
oh! how could I forget a few:
shannon- don't settle. be a strong woman both in the workplace and in life in general.
jbee- being far from family on a map doesn't neccesarily mean you are far from them in spirit.
colleen- even tho your boss may suck, stick with it and it will be worth it in the end
skyblue- you don't have to tell FI or DH EVERYTHING for you to have a very healthy relationship, and sometimes secrets are neccesary
lafemme- be cute, even when picking apples! (I need some major style tips)
MissIzz - Don't be afraid to lose if you are being yourself.
Snorge - Think before you speak.
Nunu - Niagra has an extra A! :P
Hey_Its_ - Always have fun even if life gets tough. Oh, and DEFINITELY don't work for your Grandfather.
