[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Question for the hivemind: Do I have the right to be upset that someone is choosing the Rolling Stones concert in Hershey over our wedding on October 1?

I need a reality check.

Our wings are not tired

How close of a friend is it Maria?

Close family friend, Drew. I can understand not attending the evening reception, but I got the impression that they won't be attending the 2 pm wedding.

Oh, the marvels of the large batter bowl...the barbie cake, the over-the-hill cake that I spared Emily of, the football cake

the monkey cake

I don't understand why somebody would tell you why they were skipping your wedding. Why not just decline the invitation and send a gift? Telling you the reason is bound to lead to value judgement discussion.

You'd think they could do both.

Exactly, Lisa. Why not leave me in the dark?

I mean you'd probably find out anyway (if they have connections to other people who are invited to the wedding) but why rub it in?

In happier wedding news, your shoes are SEXXXAY!

They probably just want you to know that they have a prior engagement, or else they'd love to come.

Signed, my sisters in-laws missed my wedding because they were hanging with Dave Barry instead, and for once, I'm really not bitter.

Aren't they? And cheap too. The original pair I wanted were 3x's as much.

It's one thing to be hanging out and holding a conversation with Dave Barry; it's an intimate setting. It's another to be packed into a stadium with 20,000 screaming fans. What gets my goat is that they're not attending the afternoon wedding, ostensibly because of the concert. Lisa was right, regretfully decline and leave it at that.

No impending bitter for me. I've got PLENTY of other things about which to be vitriolic.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Also a 8 cup measuring bowl w/lid that you can bake a cake in. There was a recipe.

I'm not the type of person who could be described as someone who likes to cook, and even *I* love the Pampered Chef batter bowl.
