    That can also make your migraines more frequent.

    yeah basically the first step in treatment is

    stop eating tylenol all the god damn time

    if it's bad enough take an amerge

    see how that goes

    Eating Tylenol regularly can seriously fuck up your liver too. After two weeks to taking high doses to keep a fever under control, I started getting back blood tests that indicated serious damage and abnormal function.

    But seriously. Wear the engraved ring they gave you. Take it to a jeweler at some point and rework the metal to get rid of the engraving and replace it with something at least marginally accurate. Maybe on the inside of the band, out of sight and mind.

    Tell them to go fuck themselves on her ring, though. They have no place on that one.

    It's on the inside of the band, and it's really not a big deal. It just reeks of, "I know you have an opinion on this thing you will wear for the rest of your life, but FUCK YOU DEE. YOUR OPINION DOESNT MEAN DICK TO US".

    If her grandma says word-fucking-one about her bullshit fake ring, I'll lose my shit.

    Just nod and smile and accept your ring, then pop it in a drawer and never speak of it ever again.

    Also, just laugh and say no about their silly ideas about your fiancée's wedding ring.

    There can be no smiles about the gatecrashing father though. Let it be known the terrible fate that awaits guests without invitations.

    Like, a big part of the wedding is her becoming of your family - it should not be her getting tied closer to them.

    Their ring to her is bullshit. /ignore and act like it wasn't offered.

    Yep.

    Our is in less than 3 months, and while I appreciate any financial contributions they've been able to make, my fiancee and I make it clear that whenever we ask their opinion on a subject that A) We'll only respect it as their opinion, not their demand and B) We don't want their opinion on something we didn't ask them.

    But at this point the details are pretty much locked down so everyone who has a problem can kiss my whole ass.

    Also, hello again [chat]

    Why else would Marisa Tomei have won that academy award for Best Supporting Actress if it weren't?!?

    Although I did seriously enjoy the Herman Munster cameo, with the late Fred Gwynne coming out of retirement to play the judge.

    we are in the process of planning a wedding

    her mother is already trying to sink her teeth into the planning process

    ie

    she wants us to have it where her family lives and where she's from



    i think we will go someplace to get married

    but not the place her mother wants us to

    We're having a destination wedding

    As a result, the guest list is pretty short, due to the expense

    @gooey fair warning, brah. Apparently, "what part would you like to BE INVOLVED with" is vague.

    I recommend using "What the fuck are you paying for, cause your input will be strictly limited to those areas. I don't want to hear shit about flowers if I'm cutting a check to a fucking florist"

    Not bad. Not bad at all. I wish we had that sort of discernment as consumers, to say "I want the diamonds that came from Canada. And while you're at it, fill up the tank with some gas that came from Canada."

    I once heard a piece of advice that said: "No matter what she says otherwise, no matter how adamantly she says it, she want a big old diamond and a traditional wedding with roses and a huge white dress."

    I've heard one or two refutations from personal experience and about 52,653 confirmations.
