Okay, so need some advice. I have friends who are a couple. When it was my birthday, we went out for dinner (with others), and they gave me a joint gift. The two of them have birthdays within a week of each other and the same group that went out for my birthday is going out for their joint birthday (along with one of the other people in the group whose birthday is also within a week). What's the etiquette here? I'm thinking that I just get each of them a little something and call it a day, or should they get a joint gift?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I think either is fine.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I would probably do a joint gift but I can't claim to know of any etiquette for the situation.

Hm. Speaking of Into The Woods... [link] Bad call, Disney.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Bad call, Disney.
Yeah...you cut "Any Moment / Moments in the Woods" and you've lost 50% of what I love about that show. Boo.

Well, I've dozed off for 2 45 minute intervals on the couch, so I guess I should meander up to bed. So dopey.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Yeah, once that news came out, my friend Caro and I agreed that we would be hate-watching it when it comes out on DVD. Ideally with wine.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Allyson, I hope your friend doesn't have time to read many books.
Stage 4 breast cancer, so I'm hoping for a lot of book time. Freaked me right the fuck out. I'm going in for an exam, tomorrow.
Another friend from work is taking tomorrow off to help search the Angeles Crest for the body of his SIL, who they believe drove off the cliff ten days ago.
All around, this has been a shit week for people I love a whole bunch. I don't know how to help.
