CMJH gets the assist here, 'cause I was all ????

Actual answer: My son's bike. I didn't figure it was worth it for a $200 bike for a 4 year old from Specialized or Trek, so I decided to go with the $65 Huffy...and I've regretted it ever since. Got the first one about 75% together when I noticed a big dent in the frame. Hassle of re-ordering a second, putting it together and finding a scuff where the first one had a dent, another ruined decal, and a scratch in the seat (took the good seat off the first). Returned the first one to the store and gave the second one to him for his birthday. Less than a week, the seat is torn, so my wife e-mailed Huffy and I guess they're sending a new seat.

If he didn't love it so much, I'd return the f'ing thing and buy a decent one. Lesson learned, shoulda bought the expensive one.

Come on 00. Don't act like an old person on me. We're almost the same age.

cool or stupid looking?
 
THIS is why I don't go to bed early. If I'm only going to sleep 5-6 hours, I'd rather stay awake until 12 or 12.30 and sleep until 6 than go to bed at 10.45 and wake up at 3.30 unable to go back to sleep.

This sucks.
 
Since you can get the answer to many of life's questions on CF, I have two quick ones I need the answer or your opinion on.


1.) Is it okay to wear shorts to a wedding in July? It is supposed to be 95 degrees the day of the wedding and I don't feel like wearing pants in 95 degree weather.

I found a picture and they look like this:

2.) Said wedding in July is this Friday. Why would you get married on a Friday? A lot of people I talked to that were invited aren't going just because it is on a Friday at 5:30 and they don't want to or can't take work off.

My thought would be that the only way those would be acceptable is if the wedding is on a beach. If you have an indication that the wedding is informal, then light-weight khakis and a short-sleeved button-up should suffice. If it's a formal wedding (unlikely at 5.30 on a Friday), then suck it up, buttercup...nice slacks & long-sleeved shirt & tie. Jacket optional, and you can pity the poor fools in the tuxes.
 
no shorts unless a beach wedding. Friday weddings are often waaaaaaay cheaper than Saturday weddings. BFF had a Friday wedding and they saved quite a bit. They also had to invite like 500 people and she was more than ok with a Friday night weeding out people.

Is this an Iowa wedding? If so (or a midwest non-big city wedding) you should be fine with khakis. Plus since it's evening, it should be cooling off as the night goes on. We were at a wedding two years ago in Des Moines and the A/C in the reception venue wasn't working until about 7pm. Poor DH and the rest of the groomsmen were dying - they had spent the hour after the ceremony taking photos in a vineyard. It was a pretty wedding, but holy heck was it warm!
 
We went to a wedding at Riemen Gardens a few years back that was so hot and humid people were taking off their dress shirts to just wear undershirts. Some of these people were older men too. One of the groomsman passed out.

It was the worst hour I have ever experienced outside (but makes a hell of a wedding story!)

The groom is from western Iowa and the bride is from eastern Nebraska. The wedding is in Lincoln.

Unless the United States suddenly breaks in half and places Lincoln on the newly formed coastline, it is not a beach wedding.

If you could do it all over again, would you wear shorts and a short-sleeve button up?
