This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

[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.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
My *only* confusion about expensive wedding dresses is that most women are only going to wear them one time, and spending that much money on a single-use garment seems ... odd to me.
This is true. My wedding dress is currently sitting in a box in the closet of my old bedroom in my parents' house.
I keep thinking I should sell it on eBay and use the money to pay off credit card bills, but since I didn't pay for the dress in the first place, I'd feel kind of awkward asking my parents for permission to sell it.

That's stunning.
I can't imagine having a chapel-length train, though. I'd trip over it the moment I tried to turn around. (I had the train on my dress removed. It's in my closet right now, in case anyone wants a few feet of ivory silk satin.)

Thrive to spite them
$3000 isn't over the top for a dress. Not when some women spend closer to $10,000.
Mom was watching a TLC or Style show about weddings and there was a wedding coordinator trying to get money from the groom because the vendors had to be paid when they came to set up. The groom waited until the last minute to show up so the planner had to pay for things out of pocket. Although she did corner him and make him sign a contract. The groom paid for three things --- the music, the food and something else -- a total of $20,000 just for that.

This is her dress.
You know what? It looks Prom-y to me. I think it's all about the demeanor of the bride wearing it -- and, to me, most women can't pull off wearing a strapless wedding dress. Jess is the exception to the rule.

If he was supposed to call at 3:30, and he doesn't call by 4, am I allowed to call him?

She might pull it off. Not sure yet.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I spent way more than I could imagine spending on my dress, but my parents generously picked up the tab and it was just so perfect. And a large portion of the price in my case was the extensive fitting and tailoring that made it fit like a dream. My mother made my flower girl's dress and my sister's wedding dress, and she was very impressed with the seamstress work, so I think it was worth it.
Eta: It's now in a box in my closet.

Anya certainly didn't.
