I wish my H was more into sports. He's a big gear head and that's great that he has a hobby, but I wish that he could get into college football with me. I am a die hard Georgia fan and can't ever convince him to spend $ to go to the games with me. I know it's frivolous, but it's something I really want to do and he just doesn't get it.

Agreed. Have some decent manners! One woman I really like came in a beach outfit essentially and since our reception was in a higher end restaurant (yes it was Vegas but the Prime at Bellagio has a dress code for evening!) it was really embarrassing to have the staff there side-eye her.
AATB- I was going to add to your rough diamond thread, but it seemed pretty dead. There's a diamond mine here in AR and you can go find your own diamond and keep all of your findings.
I think it would be neat to be the first person to ever lay eyes on a diamond and I would definitely have it set if it was big enough. We've been a few times, but I haven't found anything good yet
I can get on board with the soda drinking judging. My H is very frustrated with trying to lose weight, and I can't help but think the 45 cans of diet Pepsi per day aren't helping matters. I'm considering challenging him to drink water instead of soda for a week to see if it makes a difference. Edit, holy crap TK mobile, I meant 4 or 5 cans per day, not 45!

Ben drinks Mountain Dew like it's going out of style. Or maybe to make up for ones he won't be able to drink when he's dead. Either way, it's gross. When we were dating I told him my philosophies about soda drinking and the guy quit drinking pop for a few months.
He's not a big guy and doesn't have like, any weight to lose - but he told me during those months he went sans-soda he felt physically better. I guess that's over now though and since we are married the jig is up :) I still get on him for drinking soda, though. Not in a mean way but yeah, he's knows how I feel, lol.

<div>I went here as a kid on a famliy trip! Didn't find any diamonds though :)</div><div> </div><div>I just caught up on the thread, I need to think of some confessions.</div>
Ok this one is totally random, but I think pretty flameable. Last night I went to bed early and turned off the lights and listened to the new John Mayer CD. It was just amazing, I get really emtionally involved with his songs. I think it is flameable because so many people think he is a douchewad but I just love love love his music.
I can't remember if I talked about this here or on TB last week... but I'm totally cashing out my retirement from my old job, instead of rolling it over. It's only $4k, and I'll put it to far better use now anyway. It's probably going to pay for part of the new a/c. I don't care.
Someone I know found me on weddingbee and now I feel like I need to watch what I say b/c she's doing some things I don't necessarily agree with for her big day (i.e. putting 'black tie optional' on her invites.)
I just found out that one of my good friends has a b-list and is sending those invites NOW (her invite to me was postmarked April 23). Oh I so hardcore judge that, and other things she has done that I don't care to rehash.
I 'zillaed out a little when my Mom suggested we hold an anniversary party for my grandparents the day after my shower/bachelorette. All I wanted for my bachelorette was to go to the beach, so a bunch of us were going to go the day after our night out, and I really didn't want to bail on my bridesmaids or give that event up. Fortunately, a different date works better for the rest of my family.
Oh no Rachers! I hate that for you! I knew someone who found a diamond and had it set, but it fell out. Apparently rough stones fall out a lot easier than cut ones which is a bummer.

I still feel the need to justify, even though I'm comfortable with my decision ;)
My new position (same company) has insanely good benefits. Like, matching salary 13% to my retirement, so I know that $4k will be replaced pretty quickly. I tried to roll it over and the old retirement system is being douchebags about it. *cough* unions *cough* They basically said they coudn't roll it over, because I can't prove I terminated my employment. (Because I didn't. I just got a promotion to a new classification.) So my only option is to cash out and manually deposit, after taxes are taken withheld. I know the taxes will be given back. But once I have that check in my hands for $4k, I can find far better things to spend it on.

Oh yeah, and couple all his habits with the fact that he hasn't been to the dentist in several years. My husband's jaw is going to rot right off his face.
I judge people with shiitty or beat up cars. I don't really judge them for having crappy cars, I just more assume that they are bad drivers and try to stay away from them on the road. I can't understand why if you wrecked your car, you wouldn't get it fixed. I know it's a pretty shiitty thing to judge, but I still do it.
Here's another confession. I'm fully supporting H's decision to cut ties with his mom (and probably dad eventually.) They're all sorts of fvvcked up and quite honestly, I don't want my kid ever visiting them while they drink and smoke pot. I've tried being civil around them, but I think they're complete trash. I'm glad he's finally standing up for himself.

I have a big dent in the side of my car, because I was terrified to call insurance after I side-swiped the concrete pole in the parking garage. It's more absurd because my car is in otherwise perfect condition.

meh. I figured by the time I'm 55 I'll have enough elsewhere and I didn't want to worry about that other random little bit of money.
I threw my cousin planning my bach party this weekend under the bus when a friend I hadn't invited to that party (but she is invited to the wedding) sent me a text about when it was. I told her it was this weekend and my cousin should have called her when in reality I didn't invite her because her and one of my BMs used to be really close and now they hate each other. It's stupid and petty and I didn't feel like dealing with it at the intimate party.
Here's to hoping they don't start any crap there. If all else fails, I have strawberry daiquiris.
Sometimes I wish I was older, but most of the time I just wish I looked older, or at least my age. I'm so sick of being judged that I'm getting married. Especially by older people. Wasn't it normal to get married when you were 18 back then? I'll even have my degree. And the worst part is when they ask how old I am (which I really shouldn't answer because it's not of their frucking business) I always say 21, and he's 26, as if that will get them off my back. 98% of the time it does.
But then I judge some of the kids I know from HS who are married. Not the age thing really, just because they are frucked.
