This is REALLY accurate!!! It's scary how accurate it is! Also it's funny how my color is bronze and my girls are wearing burnt orange and my power month is October and we're getting married in October.... what a coincidence!

Failure is not an option for you, and more than a few people are put off by your ego. You tend to be controlling, and you hate leaving anything up to chance.

That's so scary Rachel! Was she referred to a neurologist? I wished she lived here... she could see my mom's neurologist he was rated on the nation's top doc's. I'll keep her in my thoughts keep us posted as to what happens.

So what are your thought on the proposed "Cap and Trade Tax" on CO2 emissions? I'm sure that this will be a very interesting topic to discuss and I was curious where everyone stood on the topic. And you don't know about the Cap and Trade Tax I have listed a few BIPARTISAN view points. I just wanted to open the discussion and in a later post I will let you know my thoughts. I didn't want to start the thread with a viewpoint because I want people to feel free to post their opinions or ask questions.

Me too Yari! I barely even drink anymore when we go out because I know someone is going to have to drive everyone home and I'd rather not drink to make sure that we get home safely. I think about the shit we did when we were younger and I can't believe I still here! Quote: Originally Posted by Yari Wow, that picture is very distrubing. I am amazed that only one person was killed. Regarding drinking and driving, I too am guilty of it, especially when I was in college. Lord, I am so lucky to be alive and well today. I have had friends get DUI's in the past and honestly I have no remorse for them. I no longer have a couple and drive, I am too scared. At this point in my life I realize how fragile life is and how easily a stupid mistake can become tragic.

Quote: Originally Posted by LC_Rachel I had one before. Bought it on ebay. I don't think it was even close to accurate. They never are... that's why they do blood tests! Tim BAC (blood alcohol) was WAAAAY off from his breathalyzer. Had it gone by what he blew he would be in jail. There was a bar in downtown Philadelphia that used to have girls walk around with them and they would charge you to blow into it.... it was supposed to be fun I guess. Tim comes from a family of Cops of which most are Philadelphia officers and a few state troopers, needless to say we've heard that all those silly ones you can buy are even as accurate as the ones the police departments use.

I forgot to address one more thing... The comment I made "Calling for a public hanging". What I meant by that was people have a tendency to make comments when we are guilty of doing the same thing ourselves, maybe not the same degree but we've all been there or know someone who has been there. I myself am guilt of driving after having a drink or two, and had I been pulled over I would have been over the legal limit. And even worse had I hit someone or hurt someone even after having had a drink I would be in an even worse situation and looking at jail time. I am just suggesting that we this story make everyone take a look at there own lives and make an impact.. (I'm not saying you're all guilty of drinking and driving like this, but drinking and driving is drinking and driving... and it's not just something bar flys, alcoholics, bums and deadbeats do, anyone who makes the choice to drive while under the influence takes this chance when they make that choice... Just some food for thought.)

Oh Rachel.... NO I totally agree that he should be held accountable for his actions! I am PRO accountability, I was PRO Tim go to jail for that exact reason! What I meant by everyone being guilty of drinking and driving was that.... no one thinks twice about getting behind the wheel after having a beer or two.... and that's drinking and driving. In PA the legal limit is .08 and has been for a few years and that isn't even a WHOLE bottle of beer. So legally you are driving under the influence. It's really sad that Tim will call me (from jail) and say "Oh you'll never guess who's here too..."! And that is sad that it just points out that it's a serious problem and it needs to be addressed, so by taking the steps in their personal lives to make a difference could help make a dent in the problem. And unfortunately having been going through this experience I have a learned a huge lesson and that is.... the local and county government seems to care more about the money you owe rather than getting the dangerous drivers off the street! And that is sad...

You just do.... photojournalist are trained to document the event and detach from the emotion... it's something not everyone can do, but those who can have been responsible for some of the world's most telling and gripping images. As for the guy! How was he able to just drive up there? There's a cop car right next to him... During the Philadelphia bike race you can't go ANYWHERE! It's very sad and he deserves everything they can throw at him for sure.. This is a very personal thing for me... as some of you may know, Tim is currently serving 90 days in Montgomery County Correctional Facility with work release for a DUI. While he didn't hit anyone or anything he could have... EVERYONE is guilty of drinking and driving... unless you don't drink, and this could have very well have been someone we all know in our lives because we all have THAT one friend or family member that skates on thin ice. So I feel that instead of chanting for a public hanging, we all try to make a difference in our own lives to spread awareness so this isn't someone you know!!!!

Yeah! I know that made me mad too! The nerve of that guy....and then he pretended that he didn't remember it was there........ hmmmm, weren't they all the claims he made?

that's right.... I say anything about it then yay the movie was REALLY freaky... go see it!

I'm about to watch it when it comes back on at 11. My mom, sister and I went to see "The Strangers" tonight so we missed the first airing. OH MY GOD that movie was good!!!!

I've seen them in Bailey Banks and Biddle. I know they're a chain but not sure you have one..

She probably thinks I am nuts! I know... I totally started cracking up when I read that! I have a pile next my bed as well as in the spare bedroom, under the end tables and in the magazine pale next to the entertainment center....lol!

I have been thinking about getting it too... now I have to! Yari, that's so funny that your Mii is plump too... My Mii will probably look like a Fischer Price Weeble she'll have to roll to the "line up"....ahahaha!

I can't even think about what still needs to be done... Give some time and I'll post it all! I did do the invitations the other night with my mom though, they just need stamps and they're off!

I check mine ALL the time...ahaha! I'm guilty! See I have NO idea when my shower is...and that makes me nervous, I enjoy surprising other people but I don't like to be surprised. My mom and my sister and I have this thing where we like to scare the shit out of each other and play pranks on one another so I figured I'll let them have this one...

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Etsy! Well with the exception for that one seller...ahaha! My favorite... I bought these ponytail holders from her as well as a memory board. Awesome seller Etsy :: willowrivergifts :: Willow River Gifts- for Her and Home I bought my sister the Freshwater Pearl Cluster Necklace for her birthday and she loved and she gets many complements on it! Etsy :: kateszabone :: I've really enjoyed all of my Etsy purchases... I have made many of them....lol!

Tim's mom passed away 14 years ago this July and all of his grandparents are passed and we just buried one his uncle's today. I would love to honor all of them in some way, but especially his mom. I never met his mother and because of that I feel really compelled to have her a part of our wedding. We had a family meeting about what should be done, I suggested some things and the conclusion was made that we will have an open seat for her at the end of the aisle and since we have 2 aisles (guys down one, girls down the other, meeting in the center) Tim will leave yellow flower on her chair when he comes down the aisle. I am also going to honor her by having a button from her wedding gown sewn to mine, it's private and personal but I'll know it's there and that means a lot to me. We are also doing programs to honor the other's in our lives that couldn't be there... I have seen frosted cylinder vase/candle holder that you can have the name etched into and place it somewhere where it can be seen but not the center focus if that would be more suitable.

I have to say that I agree with the other ladies... I would ask her if she wants to be in the wedding and ask her to be honest with you and let her know that if she doesn't want to be in the wedding it won't upset you... One thing I've truly learned since planning my own wedding is that most people don't share your passion and people whom you thought were "good" friends end up disappointing you. I have stopped asking my bridesmaids to help me with things and not because I think they won't I just would rather save myself the disappointment of them giving a litany of excuses of why they can't. You really find out who your friends are when you ask them to be apart of your wedding!

Are you a photographer? You will have to give me your information if you are b/c we will be having an AHR and I would like to capture the moment. Heather I am..... I sure can send me a pm with your email and I will get that for you! You got a great deal on your dress... I had tried it on at a bridal shop in Ambler and it wasn't on sale. Nice find!

Jill Higgins Photography Blog Almost all of my clients choose to see each other before. A lot of photographers email me to ask about it, so the post is geared to photographers, but it might have some helpful information. Jill.... you said it great, my thoughts exactly! I have ALWAYS found that the pictures are more relaxed and natural if done before the ceremony as well. Which is exactly why Tim and I will be doing ALL the pictures prior to the ceremony because once we've said our vows it's PARTY TIME!!!! I always feel awkward and intrusive pulling the couple away from their family members and guests to do pictures and the groom........well 9 times out of 10 can't wait for it to be over and is looking around for someone to get him a drink. I feel like the magic is lost at that point and you're holding them against their will! The moments leading up to the ceremony are filled with such anticipation and excitement and I want that to be evident in my wedding images... So coming from experience that's why I said screw tradition.... I'm gonna do it my way!

WOW!!!! So I just read through this thread and I can't speak from experience because I have not had any children of my own but I do have friends and family member's experience that I can take into account. I am a C-Section baby.....from 1978! I turned out JUST FINE!!! And so did my sister and brother. I would venture to say that the medical field has made leaps and bounds in the 29 almost 30 years since I was born. I have numerous friends who have had multiple C-Sections and both they and they're children are healthy and happy. I can't help but read the articles and wonder "Is this based on fact or is this Propaganda....against the Medical Industry?" And I think it might be a little of both... I want to see the statistics that go along with the rise in C-Sections that shows how babies are bigger than they've ever been.... Also remember the rate of labor deaths.... Yes women have been giving birth naturally for years and years and years, but let's also remember giving birth killed many women that would have been saved today with the advances in medicine. I personally don't know anyone who has had an unpleasant birth experience and I know a lot of ladies... Really it comes down to what is best for you and your baby... If you don't trust your doc get a new one, there are plenty of them out there... We live in a day where people are sue happy and can you really blame a doctor for wanting to make sure things work out best for you and your baby, sure maybe he's also looking out for his practice too but that's what he does delivers babies and I'm sure they'd like to keep doing it too! I'm not against having babies naturally.... it's your body and your baby more power to ya! But I think people should be more open to the idea of a C-Section because it is a possibility with any birth. Look no surgery is natural, but when there is something in your body that needs to come out you do what needs to be done to make it so. It's funny how we are having this debate about child birth but most woman have no issue with going into surgery for a boob job or some other kind of plastic surgery... Personally I would think that a C-Section would be a surgery I would opt for if necessary before enhancing my vanity. But that's just me... To those of you who've gone through each.... You're a better woman than me and you wear that badge of honor, I hope to join your club real soon!

Beautiful.... I love the pocket envelopes... I did them too!
