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

Eventually I'm going to go to a Cuddle Party and report back just to watch a dozen of you squeal.

Which, true, may not be in the spirit of Cuddle Parties...

At first I read this as C.U.D.D.L.E. parties.

BOUNDARIES people! why would a co-worker need to share that?

From your mouth to co-worker's ears... She has no boundaries and it's all about HER HER HER. Drives me insane. I mean, I was dealt a pretty big personal blow recently that she knew about and days later she is crying in my cube over non-existent work issues. Internally, I was like, "Seriously? SERIOUSLY??? Get a real problem!" Externally, I think I was just kinda slack-jawed.

I suspect the Puritans married their cousins without qualms.

eta: Of course, this fills me with glee, as does the news from VT.

The D.C. Council voted today to recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states, on the same day that Vermont became the fourth state to legalize same-sex unions.

So I should really check my squick-o-meter and check the science behind cousin marriage. Instead of just hating the acronym someone chose.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Not only has Vermont voted to allow same-sex marriage, but DC has voted to recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states. From the Washington Post:

"The D.C. Council has voted to recognize gay marriages performed in other states on the same day that Vermont became the fourth state to legalize same-sex unions. Domestic partnerships already are legal in the nation's capital, and gay couples married in other states are recognized as domestic partners when they move the city. But today's legislation, billed as an important milestone in gay rights, explicitly recognizes them as married couples.

The initial vote was 12-0. The unanimous vote sets the stage for future debate on legalizing gay marriage in the District -- and a clash with Congress, which approves the city's laws under Home Rule. The council is expected to take a final vote on the legislation next month."

Now let's see if Congress votes this down.

It probably sounds very different depending on your relationship with your cousins. Mine, I almost never saw, so my first cousins are only slightly more "family"-feeling to me than total strangers. For lots of people, cousins can be almost as close as siblings. YFRMV.
