| The three weddings that I have attended were very boring. Religious, dragging, uber-traditional, exactly the same except for the couple being married. I personally find the ceremony to be the most boring part of the wedding. God this, rings that, blah blah blah. The food afterward was good, though. ... |

All we got was a little bit of rain and barely any wind, like a regular rain shower. It was a huge disappointment. But at least there were no damages and nobody got hurt.  |

| I'm in southeastern Virginia, so we're likely to have one of the arms of Earl "touch" us. I'm not too worried, though. Both my husband and I have noticed that weather has a peculiar pattern of... diminishing... when it passes directly over this area. Some say it's because of the bay. :scratch: But a... |

| Hmm, I find that I'm much more concise when answering a question or making a particular point. Like if someone asks me a yes/no question. And then I answer with just a yes or a no. And the person that asked me the question is just standing there expecting me to say more. Or when I ask someone a very... |

| I got a tattoo wedding ring rather than a metal ring. It did hurt a bit, but not as much as I expected from all the stories I've heard. A solid band over the top half of my finger (the bottom half cannot be tattooed because it would fade too quickly), and below is the initial of my husband's first n... |

| I strongly dislike being "encouraged" to talk. Of course I don't intend to force her to talk: that's just mean and I apologise for coming across that way - it wasn't meant. However, it's a very uncomfortable feeling when there's just one person whom you can't get to know in any way. It feels unfrie... |

I participate at Offbeat Bride Tribe. It's a wonderful community just for engaged women to talk about the more NON-traditional wedding stuff. Full of support and advice and stuff like that. No snarkiness.  |

The description of that coworker might as well have described me exactly. I strongly dislike being "enc... |

If you don't want these people around, why not just say, "I just want to be left alone," with heavy emphasis on "alone."
Who cares if they percieve you as a jerk? You don't want them around anyways, and it's not like you'll see them over and over again in life.  |

| My mother claimed I was planned; that she had gotten married to my father, and then decided to become pregnant with me. However... the timing does not coincide with her story. My mother "ran away" from home immediately after she finished high school in Tennessee, at the age of 19. She and my father ... |

It's very possible to pee while walking/running at the same time.
Why, I've peed myself quite a few times while walking/running to the bathroom.  Not fun at all. |

As others have mentioned before, the Are You OK Brigade tends have impeccable timing for interrupting when I am in the middle of a daydream or a deep-thought session. Or when I am feeling perfectly fine,... |
