thanks for the offer. you're a star. luckily i've just sorted this all out, but after having been informed of some of the things i've heard in the past few days ("you could bring down the whole firm!" "i'll make sure you don't work again" etc), i think i might start looking for something new. again, thanks for the sympathy. xo. from thebeesknees [email] [homepage] 4:06 pm - Thursday,June 24, 2004

run away and get married on a small island then have your parents pay for a kick-ass reception. from Craig [email] [homepage] 4:36 pm - Wednesday,June 23, 2004

ha! that reminded me of the "terrorists suprised to find themselves in hell" headline in the onion after 9/11 from D [email] [homepage] 1:00 am - Wednesday,June 23, 2004

Suicide is such a difficult thing to deal with. My ex-fiance attempted, and thankfully wasn't successful. But even still, a part of me still blames myself. All the same thoughts. Even tho I work in the field and logically know that it was his decision and there wasn't anything that I could have done or should have seen...it's still hard to truly know that in your heart. Hopefully some day we'll both be able to believe that. Please know that I'm sorry for your loss. *hugs* from tali [email] [homepage] 2:55 pm - Monday,June 21, 2004

Lassie, we have something to bond over. Hatred. For Gretchen. Gretchen Helfrich. DIE TRIXIE BITCH! DIE! I know this is out of nowhere, but sometime a million years ago you posted about hating her, and after hearing Odyssey 3 days in a row I am wondering wtf whoever put her on the air was thinking. She is a vapid sorority girl with a damn annoying voice. the end. from Maggie [email] [homepage] 9:48 pm - Wednesday,June 16, 2004

I haven't really been keeping up with dland the past month, so I just learned of your engagement. And to that I say: CONGRATULATIONS!!! How did they put the ring in the cake, wasn't it all chocolatey? Wine, chocolate, diamonds... you are one lucky lass. from Amanda [email] [homepage] 3:51 pm - Wednesday,June 16, 2004

Poor kid! We didn't see any Bantams running around loose, though, so perhaps others have had that problem. I'll definitely be looking into programs there, although most seem to be aimed at kids just a little older than AJ. What a great place! I'll heed the warning about the cemetery. We didn't see that, but there was a wedding going on that had a section basically inaccessible. from Harriet [email] [homepage] 3:15 pm - Monday,June 14, 2004

My condolences. Once they get mobile, the days are awfully long when you can't run them around the block a few times. And back to the wedding thing, I was totally freaked out by the center of attention thing and was completely convinced that I was going to fall flat on my face walking down the aisle. But when the moment came, I was so wrapped up in it that I forgot to be self-conscious. Also, I found it incredibly moving to see all the people I liked the best in the world in the same place at the same time, particularly considering how far some had travelled to be there. I hope it's wonderful! from Harriet [email] [homepage] 10:08 pm - Thursday,June 10, 2004

Hahahahaha! Amish World! Ride the 3-D barnraising adventure! Leave your buttons and zippers at home! Hoosiers continue to be a mystery to me. from JT [email] [homepage] 2:59 pm - Thursday,June 10, 2004

Part the first: The story about Leo's made me incredibly sad. I'm going to miss that place. Part the second: The NU homicide site is totally cool. Part the third: re: wedding planning advice, we managed to have a fairly large wedding without going nuts, although the fact that I'd run some benefits certainly helped, both in terms of experience and contacts. By far the easiest route is a restaurant or hotel (although certainly not the cheapest) because usually one person will take care of the details and also because you don't have to deal with stuff like renting furniture, linens, dishes, etc. which adds a completely unnecessary level of complication. In my experience, casual weddings are much more complicated to pull off than more formal ones because there are more decisions to be made. In our case, I had worked with the caterer for years on functions and I trusted him completely. He handled decor and timing as well as food and when decisions were needed, he narrowed choices down to two or three options for me so it wasn't crazy-making. Unfortunately, there are always a million decisions to be made. Just figure out which things count and worry about then. Just flip a coin for the rest of it or hand out assignments to people who want to be involved. For me, I worked hard on the music for the service and reception, because that is what matters to me and because I knew all the musicians. My husband worked hard on the honeymoon. The rest of the stuff we decided we didn't care about too much and relied on friends and relatives for recommendations and help. My parents, for instance, did the invitations because they cared more about that than we did. Good luck! from Harriet [email] [homepage] 10:07 pm - Tuesday,June 8, 2004
