oh I get it. That's your wedding date. No lie, bridesmaid got married nine months to the day before my wedding. Before her wedding, she asked if I would care if she were pregnant. I said all I ask is that you don't go into labor and I'd really prefer you don't throw-up while standing up front 
. So she jokes "so no wedding night baby making?"
She was about 7 weeks pregnant at the wedding.

The cousin's comment WAS a little extreme. However, from personal experience there is a difference in how my oldest sister (2 daughters), middle sister (never had kids), and I (2 sons, expanded to 6 kids when I remarried) view life/finances. We have very different ways of "living".
Middle sister does not understand clutter, and never will. The messes that kids & pets leave behind upset her greatly. She enjoyed her nieces & nephews, but in a "pat them on the head and send them on their way" manner. Now that they are all adults, she gets along with them really well...but the great nieces & nephews...well, back to square one.
She doesn't understand buying Kmart jeans & tops for yourself because your kids need new cleats every year, every sport, from fifth grade on. She doesn't understand voluntarily sitting in a gym, listening to the distressing sounds that emanate from a 7th grade band, or sitting on the bleachers in the rain & occasional snow while watching your kid ride the bench until the last 2 seconds of a blowout game. She doesn't understand getting up at 5.30 to get your kid weighed, then shlepping all over Iowa every Saturday for local wrestling tournaments.
Thing is, she never heard "I love you mommy" for the first time from a toddler. She never got the bugs & leaves & shiny rocks as gifts. She never got to hear one son reading to his younger brother at bedtime (even though younger brother was quite capable of reading on his own). She never got picked up and swirled in circles after the first ever wrestling match he won by pinning his opponent.
All in all, she had a much different life and expectations than I have had. I wouldn't trade with her for anything.
marketing just sent out an email asking for UW basketball-related slogans to use this week. Someone replied all to everyone cheering for a different team.
I am heavily judging for the use of reply all. And seriously, half the people here went to UW. Don't be a ****, no one here likes your team anyway.

Extreme? Nah. Stupid? Yup.
Marriage and children aren't for everyone.
I've gotten so much unsolicited advice on the "secret" to raising kids or the "secret" to a sucessful marriage over the years. My unsolicited advice: "Marriage isn't always easy. Raising a child isn't always easy. You make concessions or you'll likely be unhappy. Have fun and learn along the way. Be excellent to each other. Party on."
Had to jump start the plane which is always fun. Not to be arrogant (jk pilots are naturally arrogant when it comes to their skill) I had great landings despite cross winds.
Dropped the keys off at my aunt and uncles and my uncle went on one of his patented religious/political rants. Nothing like taking scripture out of context and calling my famine non-believers.
When do we move again?

Not when I add someone, but when someone sends me a friend request and I accept it, that's when I regret it.
That's what I meant. I just added a girl I knew from a while ago and the first 6 pictures i see are of her and her boyfriend making out. I don't want to be a ****** and just unfriend her but I don't really want to see that whenever I log on to facebook
Do you know how to hide them from your news feed?
I had two friend's girlfriends add me on Facebook. I accepted, immediately regretted accepting, and hid their posts from my news feed.
