Re: Rep Lodge Thread 89: As The Holidays Approach

Urgh. Exhausted, going back to sleep for a couple or a few hours hopefully. Good and fun weekend, but I had a grand total of about 6 hours of free time between the shooting, driving up and back, and then other various things. Awesome sunset as we were driving on the MassPike last night too, great change of scenery from the continuous rain that seemed to plague the trip Saturday and early Sunday.

Morning, Lodge.

Off to the big box for first shift today. Yippee.

Huhhuhhuh you said "big box."

Hi folks, first semi-decent night of sleep I've had in a while... Of course I'm still sick as a dog and things have progressed into "nasal congestion" stage. Hooray?
 
Re: Rep Lodge Thread 89: As The Holidays Approach

Refilled.

Do it when you want. It's your wedding...not theirs. Hammerpunch them if they continue.

SG, see above. Sadly, from what I understand, everyone will be bugging you to do things their way or convenient to them up until the wedding actually occurs (note: this includes the actual wedding day). Make sure you stick to your guns (figuratively) and have things done the way you want them.

Morning, kids! Posting from the train this morning on the MBTA's free wifi. Not that bad considering everything else the MBTA does is a total failure.
 
Re: Rep Lodge Thread 89: As The Holidays Approach

evening Lodge. First things first...need a refill. Some St. Cloud fan didn't like me calling him out of his retardness (not DL, although DL is quite the dink). :D

Secondly, friends and relatives are already telling me when we should have the wedding. I mean, I've been engaged for one *king week and already people are saying do it here, do it there, do it this weekend, not this weekend, etc. One friend told me to not do it over a weekend that the Twins play cause then he wouldn't be able to come. I've been told by numerous people to not cater to other peoples wants and do what we want for the wedding, but seriously, is this going to last up until the wedding day? :mad:

Oh no, it won't stop on the wedding day. Some will still complain afterwards about how you didn't accommodate their needs/wishes. :D

Morning Lodge.

Morning Lodge.

But the most important thing to remember is the bride is always right. Make quiz tell everyone to shut up. Oh, and after the wedding everyone starts in on when you are having kids. that never stops.

Sometimes that talk starts before you're even married!!! :mad: :eek: :mad:

Yeah. If your mother has any friends with grandchildren it sets off some really bad thing in the brain and makes them have granny-lust.

gmann....you have a pretty damm good hockey team up there...:D

Thanks but keep it on the down low. ;) I like it when certain individuals within certain fanbases think BSU is a fluke and even after a loss give no credit where credit is due. BSU is legit. I am pumped to see what a new arena, a new league and a couple decent recruits will do for this program over the long term.
 
Re: Rep Lodge Thread 89: As The Holidays Approach

Yup, plus her sister has 3 grandkids. *sigh* :o

My mother went from telling me we should never be parents because of our lifestyle (we worked a lot) to flipping out that we hadn't produced a child practically in a breath. She said some things that to this day make me wonder about her intelligence level. Stuff that was just embarassing to listen to- a few of my favorites:
-we weren't having children, she knew, because all the rooms had furniture in them (nailed and superglued in place, no doubt) therefore we must not be planning to have a nursery.
-we weren't having a child because we did not buy an SUV when we got a new car. This one was a doozy. The reasoning- we have a steep hill driveway and if we didn't have an SUV we weren't planning to have a child because the car wouldn't get up the hill.:eek: :confused: :rolleyes: I told her if we had a kid and we couldn't make it up the hill then we would let it freeze to death and just make another one. She was horrified but could not see the absolute idiocy of what she was saying. Shameless. Just have the balls/ovaries to say I wish I had a grandchild.

She did the same thing to my brother- even more over the line and to the point of absolute rudeness. My poor SIL was distraught. My brother lit her up one day after she was particullarly noxious. Then she was all hurt and offended that he would speak to her that way.

Thankfully for my brother we produced the grandchild.

Regarding planning and execution of weddings...............

Having been married twice, I have some insight.
The first thing - if at all possible, pay for it all yourselves. This takes everyone else out of the "You should.." or "I'd like you to...".
At my first wedding, the only thing my parents paid for was the grooms dinner. They insisted on this and I said "fine, but it's going to be like this". No problems at all. My wife's family was not able to do much financially, but I found out years later that they split the grooms dinner tab with my folks.
There will always be someone who's upset and makes things uncomfortable. Handle it with grace and tact, but do whatever the hell you want for your wedding day.

That is outstanding.
I concur with Hammer.
 
Re: Rep Lodge Thread 89: As The Holidays Approach

I just do my best to show my mom that there is absolutely no way that I should be allowed to care for a child. I know my mom wants grandkids, but at this point she knows that it would be bad for the world if they came from me.

Me: (sees annoying kids at mall) I hate kids....
Mom: What!!! I'm not going to get grandkids? You don't want to have kids?
Me: Well...not on purpose
:D

This would not work when Granny-lust is in full bay!

aww, I was excited until I saw your figuratively note. :(

But the most important thing to remember is the bride is always right. Make quiz tell everyone to shut up. Oh, and after the wedding everyone starts in on when you are having kids. that never stops.

I'm just going to let her carry a gun around and point it at anyone that tries to chime in.

But seriously, are people really that dense that they think I'm going to plan a wedding around their schedule? My cousin literally said that she's busy in the fall so we should do it in the summer. I'm like, um...planning on doing Ironman 70.3 that summer, so yeah, maybe right after we get off our bikes we'll get hitched. :rolleyes:

And as for kids, pretty much everyone knows our stance, so that's one thing we don't have to worry about. And if they still are wondering, I'll just tell them my boys can't swim. :D

sorry :o

I think people speak before they think about what they're actually saying (please schedule a major milestone of your life around my schedule). On the plus side, Q does not seem like the bride-zilla type, so that will be a blessing for you and for her bridesmaids.

edit - you also have rep, sir.
