A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm not seeing any comments anywhere, but there are also several things about the page that aren't displaying right, so it's probably an issue with my browser.

Boo! Elizabeth Spears, Anna Holmes, etc., get into it.

Burrell, you are not alone. I think that dude is well within normal bounds.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I love the talisman, Tep. I did similar at my wedding for my grandparents.

You should see if there's a sewing shop (not Joann's) near you that might be able to program the "B" into their embroidery machine and make it for you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm on record as not seeing why he can't be 47. I don't even need meth to get him from 44 [link] to now or from 0 to 44.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

But if I make a B out of fabric (felt, maybe), I can keep it. I'm 100% sure I won't keep the ribbon wrapped around the stems.

I'm not throwing my bouquet, because there will be a grand total of 4 unmarried women there. But I might just give it to Tim's oldest niece, who is thisclose to getting engaged. And then I can tell her to return the critter to her grandpa's house. But I'd have to keep my B.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Tep, we didn't throw the bouquet or garter. I didn't even wear one. Instead, we had an anniversary dance--all married couples on the dance floor, then eliminating those that had been married less than five years, ten years, etc. until one couple remained and I gave them a smaller version of my bouquet. (I dried mine.)

Oh yeah, I'm not wearing one either. Nothing is getting tossed at the wedding. Knowing us, it would lead to head trauma.

I've been to weddings that do that, and I think it's really lovely.

No, I meant have it done on separate fabric, not the ribbon.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Because if it is embroidered, you won't have to worry about it raveling and or cutting it very delicately.

Oh! Duh. I'm glad you clarified that (I am so not-craft-oriented that I just don't even think of certain options). I'll have to check out that possibility.
