  I just caught up in that thread and blech.

  
  

  I wonder what would happen if the next time we have a newsletter thread we just let them be. A part of me would love to see what would happen if the snowflakes were left to interact just among themselves. 

  I think some of them want to publicly be able to "stick it" to us old fuddy duddies who still believe in proper etiquette and hosting. Others, however, might stick around and start spouting their awful ideas in other threads!

  
  I was thinking if we give them nothing then maybe they will just go away. Lol. If they start to spread though that wouldn't be good... Lol.

  Dear TK: 

  
  

  Mondays are horrible enough without an inundation of special snowflakes and a blizzard of bad ideas, thanks. Do not make Mondays worse.

  
  

  No love,

  HisGirl

  
  

  P.S. -- The more you link to crappy, hot-button threads, the more the regs will tear the special snowflakes to shreds and the more they'll all go to other forums because 'TK is full of big, mean bully girls who won't validate my bad ideas and tell me IT'S MY DAY.' Do you really want to perpetuate that myth?

  This sounds like an experiment in observing wild animal behavior... which really, these snowflakes aren't far off from a rare species that should be observed from afar.

  Who wants to start placing bets on what makes next week's newsletter?

  Do we have a thread about them yet? Something that's pretty sane with good advice that can be turned into a shit storm?

  I have a question that I could make into a thread. I feel like it could easily be hijacked by PPD-ers who want to have big blowout AW party and turn into a shitshow. I figured I'd save it for when I am really booking things, and not just picking things out/gathering ideas.

  I'm the fuck out.

  I feel like making a goal of creating threads just to try to make the newsletter...

  
  

  "Dear TK:

  
  

  I'm 14 and my fiance is 29.  He's in the military, and my parents gave legal permission for me to marry him on paper before he was deployed, and now that's he's back, I'm planning are REAL wedding!  We're paying for most of the wedding areselves, so were trying to save money wherever possible. 

  
  

  So far I got my dress ($5K - thanks daddy!!!<3), shoes, and picked my wedding party.  We set a date for 7-4-15.  Are ceremony will be outdoors at noon - but it's really short (only 20 minutes) so I figured everyone would be fine to stand or sit on blankets, so no tent or chairs - huge $$$ saver!

  
  

  The reception starts at 5, so are guests will have plenty of time to freshen up.  The wedding coordinator at the venue said we only needed chairs for 60% of the guests since people will hopefully be up mingling and dancing all night!  So that was another huge savings.

  
  

  Were just having snacks and finger foods, and we will provide a champagne toast for the wedding party and then a cash bar for the rest of the night.  

  
  

  Any suggestions on how to save more money?  We want to take a two week honeymoon, so every penny counts!  Hopefully our guests will give us a lot of serius $$$$$!

  
  

  XO,

  Grumbledore"

  There's one on E about putting your damn phones away. That gets my vote.

  WTF happened to TK? I started reading the thread in Reception and now my face hurts. It's also funny how many women will "love" a post but can't defend themselves with words. Seriously, my face hurts. There were always wackadoos/speshul snowflakes but it's like they're multiplying.
