I have a friend who always gives a fire extinguisher for weddings, under the theory that everyone needs one and not enough people buy them.
I've never heard of this; what a brilliant idea. This is better than the benefit I went to recently where the door gift was a nice, branded umbrella-- seriously, who can't use a nice umbrella? Few buy themselves a nice one because you'll just lose it. Plus, it was raining that night, so we all could use it. And few people mind a branded umbrella. It worked for everyone!
ETA: oh, if it sounds crazy that I'm getting all emotional about an umbrella in reaction to a post about a fire extinguisher, that's because I'm totally drunk.
Hec's what to do in Vegas post reminds me that I need to make brunch reservations at commander's palace for my september trip.
Steph, you'll be there, right?
Just got back from Hec and JZ's, where we spent a nice couple of hours just hanging out.
Pretty good day, between that and the petting zoo.
Steph, you'll be there, right?
Well, my question to billytea was prompted by the realization that I have a trip to my brother in the works, and billytea's visit, and SA visiting before she goes to Ireland, and -- just barely enough vacation time to cover that. (The 2 days I took off when my granddad died came out of my vacation time, as apparently bereavement leave only kicks in if it's a spouse, parent, sibling, or [god forbid] child.)
So....Vegas is looking impossible. And I'm pouting.
Well, now I'm pouting too.
Pout.
I just realized that this is the fall Sunday lineup on CBS:
The Amazing Race
Cold Case
Without a Trace
Apparently they ran out of any other method for scheduling and decided to try rhyme.
bon, post more. Want to see drunken posts.
But no rush. I have to have dinner.
billytea, I hope you're happy with yourself. Sheesh.
Next serious question: Has anyone heard of "adrenal fatigue syndrome"? Is it real?
As far as the gift thing, I guess I'll stick $50 in a "Have a good marriage" card and be done.
I'm in a really bad mood about "friends" today. That's probably why this is rubbing me so much the wrong way.
billytea, I hope you're happy with yourself. Sheesh.
I'd better be, I'm pretty sure I'm out of the trial period. "Satisfaction guaranteed or your monkey back!"
really, you guys need to look at my bookcase pictures - there is something to cheer everyone up
