I'll have to start getting more creative with those reply cards.

I think it's just jotting something on the side.

If my guests start searching and book online then i wont be able to keep my contract. Then we are the ones getting screwed, yet we were originally trying to save everyone money. I am not sure why its so much more through the TA. The online site offer discounts for flight and hotel but the TAs dont do this.. I dont understand why, it seems this is where the travel sites are able to save people money. I am not sure what to do here, drop room block down and hope i get at least 10 rooms booked or what.. $500 is too much of a difference! I dunno what to do, anyone else run into this?? Maybe you need a different TA? My guests have shopped around & no one found better prices. But, my guests are booking package deals. I'm not doing a room block. i told everyone not to waste their time with expedia, etc, but a lot of people checked there anyway. I got several emails telling me I was right, the TA was the way to go.

I've got a good 14 years on you and I've found that almost universally, once you get really, really comfy with someone, that edge isn't as strong. Frankly, as long as the idea of sex isn't off-putting (ie., you dread it) you're fine. If you're really concerned talk to your Dr about it. She can change your BC, take you off of hormone BC (read: switch to condoms). [bTW, I went off the pill and switched to condoms and nearly killed FI with my renewed interest.] If in point of fact you're turned off by the idea, there may be some imbalance that can easily be corrected with a change in BC or other hormone replacement, but your Dr can tell you for sure. a friend of mine did this too & it was an instant fix. But, she broke out really bad & had some other problems without the pill. I think it's very common.

I think there was a thread about this. Has it always been an issue for you or just after time together?

Cute! this is one of the last things on my to do list. I think I should add ribbon to my fans too. They are multi colored & i learned the color can come off on your hands.

I went from the oldest to number 6 (five older step siblings) and then four more younger brothers. I was more upset to get all brothers! As the girl ( I do have a sister but she has been estranged from the family for years) I have always gotten alot of attention from my parents. Maybe it just seems like more attention to an older kid becuase babies need so much more? Wow! That's a lot of brothers. I just have the 1 brother.

I think they mean they don't contact them this far in advance. I was trying to schedule my june wedding in july. I was told I couldn't schedule it because the judges don't start schduleing that far out. I told her it was just symbolic so she was able to put me on the schedule.

Quote: Originally Posted by jamisoncollette When my brother Ricky was born, my five other brothers at the time (there are more) were waiting for me afterschool to tell me. I was so upset at having another brother I walked back to school! how big is your family? so does the older kid think the little one will get all the attention? as a youngest kid I don't know what it's like.

That's great. no he just took it to be funny. when he brought those pictures over at christmas, mom carried that one over the the crib picture that is hanging on the wall so they were side by side.

I love tea! my friend has tons of tea cups she inherited from her grandma. It's so funny because she lives in a little grad student duplex & would not be having formal dinner parties. So we had a party where everyone took shots out of tea cups.

Quote: Originally Posted by BillysBride Oh ya...get some for me too while you're at it! So, you have faith that the pure alongside the light ivory/diamond white will be ok? I know I'm over thinking this. But damn. I'm sending something to IslandImporter.com where I found the shirts I want for the guys. They are good about customizing orders, and they do have an "off white" version of the pants I want for them, so I'm going to ask if they can do the shirts in that same color and material. The off white that the guy is wearing in the pic looks like what I am imagining for the Maggie Diamond White. I NEED to be more worried about how I'm going to fit into this dress without putting somebody's eye out. I haven't gotten to Mike's shirt yet, but I was hoping to find something similar to to color of mine. I need to spend a weekend shopping for his wedding clothes. He needs an entire vacation wardrobe. If I leave it up to him, he'll be in his torn up korn t-shirt from high school or something else with holes in it. He doesn't shop for clothes.

I think she was supposed to be kristen's mom. Was Gina actually Hope? That was the big question when I watched it.

Quote: Originally Posted by DougsGirl I always wondered about the diamond white thing. I thought it meant that it was blatantly sparkling stark white, like a colorless diamond. But now I'm seeing people mention it being off-white. What's the deal? And why is it called diamond white? I think it's called "diamond white" because that sounds good. They are selling them to brides who probabaly recently got a diamond they can't stop looking at. this is probably the color of my dress. it's called ivory, but it's somewhere between ivory & white. I guess thats diamond white. Mike wants to wear "pure, snowy white because he is angelic" he says. He says he wants a white shirt & white pants too. I'll get him some angel wings while I'm at it.

Quote: Originally Posted by DougsGirl Thats cute! BTW-- I love when you check things off your list, Morgan, it's very entertaining for the rest of us! Keep it up! Ha! Can you tell I've been doing a lot of checking this weekend? I just condensed my 10 different lists into one, because so many things were scratched off.

there is lots of info about this on the forum. be careful with your name change. Your passport has to match your travel ticket. But, I think you mean you would change it after.

Quote: Originally Posted by Christa I hate to burst your bubbles here ladies, but there are a lot of products we use every day that come from animals & are a result of processes you may not want to know about. Specialty adhesives, pet food, beauty products, soap, plastics, clothing... The big difference to me is that those objects have a function. China is not necessary & there are so many other ways to make a plate. I'm not vegan, but I do believe in treating animals right. Now that I know the animals are not slaughtered just for plates, I don't think it's a bad practice. But, I do think it's gross. I don't like the idea of drinking out of a cup made from a bone.

My mom has been wanting me to get this project done since Christmas. This weekend I've been checking off things on my piles of to-do lists, so I finally got it done. When I was born, my mom took a picture of me in the crib. She noticed when she got the film developed that my brother was in the picture. The sad look on his face is priceless. He thought that the baby was going to get all the love & was so jelous. He recently went to Alcatraz & took a picture behind bars. He looks just like that sad little boy. Mom wanted me to make them into one picture. I'm giving them both a copy.

I am putting a welcome letter in the bag with a postcard of cabo. Thank you to everyone that helped me out through this. It was a hard decision. What about "I came to _______ (Mexico or where ever your wedding is) for a wedding & all I got was this stupid T-shirt?" Its fun to have shirts from places you've been.

A metal pen would be more sanitary. Germs don't like living on metal.

My mom is a junior high teacher. I called her the other day & she was "making flower pens." She sent me a picture so I knew what she was talking about. She gave a bouquet of these to another teacher as a thank you. They are pens with fake flowers taped on using green florest tape. She said they are good because they keep kids from stealing your pens. They can't pretend like they didn't realize what they were doing. I thought the teachers would be interested in this. It would also be a cute gift for a kid to give their teacher.
