UO anyone?

PinkDahLia44 · July 2014

I'm starting this because I have to go to work So let's hear 'em!

PinkDahLia44 · July 2014

Wedding songs edition! I don't hate silly cliche songs at weddings, like the electric slide and the chicken dance. I think they're fun and they get the whole thing moving. I especially love the Cupid Shuffle because, if you don't tell me the steps to your dance in each line of the song, I'm not gonna know how to dance to it.

PinkDahLia44 · July 2014

Also, I think some popular wedding songs are inappropriate for weddings. Ex: Paradise By the Dashboard Light is a song about a guy who married a girl because he wanted to have sex with her and now he wants to die so he doesn't have to spend another minute with her. Ex 2: Daughters (by John Mayer) is about a girl whose father messed her up so bad that now she can't have a functioning adult relationship. Seriously, to me it's like playing Brick or The Freshman at your wedding.

Side story: DH put lyrics from Daughters as his away message on AIM (LOL! Remember AIM?!?) when we first started dating. I remember thinking, "Oh, that's weird, but sweet I guess." Fast forward 9 years later and we have a discussion about it. He didn't know what the song was about, and I ruined it for him. Oops.

Good grief. People complain when the board is boring, they complain (rightly) when someone decides to be a douchebag and we've got unpleasant drama going on, practically every day someone predicts that the board will be dead soon. At least the polls are lighthearted and got some discussion going. But I guess it's more fun to just complain.

So three polls on masturbation is interesting and fun? Huh

I have never complained that the board is boring or that it's going to be dead soon. And polls are fine, to a point. This seemed more like spamming to me.

THE WORLD LOVES TO COMPLAIN. I believe it's better to STFU and deal with it.

I can't agree or disagree because I don't watch his shows, but I love the GR memes. "There's so much ginger in this, it's a Weasley!" and "There's so much oil in this, the US is going to invade it!" are my favorites.

I get a kick out of the memes, too.

Nah because the Bump will let you know if it's spam TRUST ME. It will then lie to you and tell you "oh, just wait 2 short minutes!!" but secretly they'll lock you out much longer than that and 2 minutes already feels like eternity when you're fingers are burning to hit that post button.

It can be. But if it's not your cuppa, there's always the scroll bar located conveniently to the right. There are also links to other pages of this board at the top and bottom if you want to look for less recent discussions. Oh, and! There's even an option at the top that you can click on to start a new, interesting, fun discussion of your very own. #somanychoices #itslikeapoll

Thank you for that Bump tutorial, but it's still my (perhaps unpopular) opinion that it's spamming and annoying for someone to fill up the first page with polls on every single mundane thing that comes to her mind.

I think we should have a pip all the things day. Like Simon says...shall we poll it? tehehehe

I wasn't actually replying to you, but you are most welcome anyway. I hope it helped. Spam is actually not a matter of opinion, though. If it had been spam, the Bump Gods would have smote it. Perhaps they could still be persuaded with the right combination of prayer and sacrificial Oreos. It's worth a try if you feel very strongly about your polls-are-spam opinion.

I think I've used my good karma for the week.

BTW, I agree!

Have you all seen this video about that song. My DH says our dd's milkshake will bring no boys to the yard. Lol

I liked the polls. I like sex. We were just having sex for fun when I got pregnant. We had sex 2 weeks pp.

--------------------- She didn't fill up the whole page. Half of it was already filled up by outdated announcements :P

True. Which makes the remaining space even more valuable!

I am genuinely curious... Is this their only job and do they make enough for the year to live off of? That would be crazy in the best of ways!

Did you find it?! IDK where you're at but in NYC he has a restaurant called MAZE and they have it!! It's $82. FI KNOWS it's a necessity for me to eat at one of his restaurants. I'd prefer Vegas but wouldn't cry about eating at an exceptional restaurant and pay crazy amounts of money for a fabulous night. I've never gone fancy before so I need this. /excitedGRramble

He's a chef, of course he wears a chef coat.

We did find it, but it was kind of burnt. GR would have smashed it and threw people out of the kitchen. DH made it and it was much better, but not GR worthy

That sucks really bad. I would've sent it back! Maybe at Chili's it'd suffice but not if I'm forking over just under $100 for one entrée.

Weljadraak · July 2014

FTR it's not that I am sexually attracted to him. I have respect for him and he's one of the few celebrities I actually care about.

We had mini beef wellingtons during our cocktail hour. We only got to eat them at the tasting because they were all gone by the time we were done taking pictures.

But I cannot see the appeal when all of that money could go towards a pretty hefty down payment on a house, instead. We spent $5k on ours and in retrospect, I wish we had just gone to the courthouse and been done with it.

Did anyone make their money back? We certainly didn't. Just our food was like $85/pp and most couples only gave us $100 (most guests gave cash). I didn't expect to make our money back, though.

All of this wedding cost talk makes me not want to have a wedding. I stand by Vegas!
