Not knowing she was registered, I was thinking about getting them some nice bath towels. That's still OK, right?

I think it's okay. I mean, who doesn't love nice bath towels?! And it's not like they last forever so even if they have ones now they'll eventually need new ones.

But, I've never been married.

I believe she was resistant to registering in general, and finally gave in, so only went to the one place. It's not a long list.

Go towels, choose towels. People always need them and they are soft and yummy.

I am a fan of getting gorgeous picture frames as wedding gifts. You KNOW they'll have pictures from the Event or the Honeymoon they'll want to put around, and having a frame that's too pricey to buy for one's self is a lovely thing.

Oh, that's a great idea, and also something that will be available at Lord & Taylor, where I was planning on shopping.

OK, eff Williams-Sonoma. I got her stuff from there for her shower already, all on my own!

A (single male) friend of my husband's got us towels and knives off our registry. They came in a box together. I was laughing and laughing.

bon, I've always meant to ask, but when you were there, did you have the really old czech history professor who taught in his office off old town square?

I loved hearing him say defenestration. He was so very serious, but he liked saying it.

I also remember that when we covering WW2, in the middle of some dry facts he was all "and on that night, we fled with only the family violin and I never saw my grandfather again." Ooof.

Polish Sausage vs. The Sausage of Prague.

I know which lunch sounds more dignified to me.

You are weird. Personally I think Poland is much more dignified. In fact, the Czechs agree-- that's why they named their new dance craze the Polka.

I have no idea why this is bothering me so much.

I think I'm the only neighbor who said I can't do this. No one is really making me feel like an asshole about it....

But i was kind of an asshole about it.

And we all know how dignified that turned out to be.

Case in point!

paperdol, you've already made a large commitment to the twins. You're not the mom of the world.

Being supportive is an important value, but you can't give more than you have. You can't take on responsibility for all the crazy, fucked up, needs-insurance people.
