Can I just state for the record that I seriously loathe PowerPoint? I'm preparing slides for an upcoming presentation that I can do off the top of my head without a problem. Trying to "bulletize" it, though, is impossible and frustrating. I want to just do the talk, damn it!

Powerpoint is evil. When I am forced to use presentation software I go with Keynote.

Gloom- try doing the slides when you are not the person doing the presentation. It it REALLY hard.

In terms of weddings, you guys (Buffistas in general) do know there is a whole spectrum of choices in between eloping and nightmare weddings? When I was younger knew lots of people who ended doing doing the JP thing, followed by renting a bar or having a barbeque at the beach, or nibbles at the largest home of the two new sets of inlaws. (I also knew a couple from the Phillines who rented one of the large buildings at UCLA, had 3,000 wedding guests, and a 50 piece orchestra . So not pretending that modest, unpretentious was universal, or even the majority case - just not unknown.)
(Umm of course you do know. Just a way of pointing out the middle course was being omitted from the discussion.)

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
A friend of mine is doing power point in a new way - the only thing on her slides are things she grabbed from google images. they just illustrate on emphasize her point. sometimes shocking , sometimes funny. She is hoping more people remember what she talks about. and it is more fun to do

Now tagless for your comfort.
At least you aren't in Hawaii (don't say that often, do you?): they had a 5.3 earthquake and a hurricane threatening. That's pocalyptic.
GAK! Sara, I'm going there in three weeks!
Please to get all the 'pocalypses out of the way before I get there? 'Mkay?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Sophia, I'm so very sorry.

Internal bra. You know, if I thought it would work long-term and lack complications, I'd be all over it.
This is a similar technique, but they use your own parts [link]
