Steph, the wedding will be over SO SOON. Ativan as needed, I say. And then! The marriage!
Bar maid! Bring me stronger ale! And some plump, succulent babies to eat!

Natter 72: We Were Unprepared for This
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
What was that woman's original point, anyway? That the US should treat people the way N. Korea does? Sounds like she lost the argument all by herself.
ita, I would have carried you to the elevator.

Ann, that's a ferret.
WS, I can only wonder at an apparently right-wing FBer who sees Communist North Korea as a role model.
Tep: The marriage matters. The wedding, less so. Also, you are a superstar. Any business would be lucky to hire you. There is no need for fear.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Hee. Everything is WebAssign's fault. (Or Webassing, as one student spelled it.)
I just completed the stupid health profile that the university is now requiring to avoid paying an extra $100 a month on health insurance. It asked me to "commit to" managing my weight, getting more cardiovascular exercise, and managing my blood pressure. It also informs me that I am at risk for respiratory disease and colon cancer.

Those are fun.
I am managing my blood pressure. My prescriptions, let me show you.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
(There's probably a clear line past which you can no longer elope, and some people pass that when they announce the engagement, but there sure must be points were it feels really enticing...)
Jesus H. Christ, last week I was ready to cancel it all and elope.

30 years from now it will be horror stories you can tell the newbies

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
It's a wedding, Teppy. There is a special form of Murphy's Law that applies.
You are under tremendous stress. Stress is a self-replicating organism that causes stupidity, which leads to more stress.
You are smart and literate, and you have vast experience in dealing with complicated projects, deadlines and idiot authors. You are a catch. Now, do not think about employment until you finish getting married. Sufficient onto the day is the crisis thereof.

I feel that this is important. Please make mental substitutions as necessary. [link]
