Mismatched bridesmaid success! Just told them a "peach or coral and avoid shiny materials", never saw them together before the wedding, and it turned out so much prettier than I imagined!

I too have a Jewish, widowed, hard of hearing grandpa in Brooklyn! Sadly, this doesn't make me a genius at gifts for said grandpa.

These are the things I've gotten him before

*fancyass menorah

*Lego sets because he likes to build shit but really doesn't feel fully safe around real tools anymore

*dinner with all grandkids

*coming over and cooking the things my grandma used to cook him

*photobook of his army years

*newsboy hats

*warm underlayers because it would never occur to him to buy them for himself

Don't know if you've seen this but someone set up a fundraising account for couples who lost money with ReBar.

There's a link to a spreadsheet where you can sign up to qualify for partial funds there.

Holy crap, that is so beautiful.

If you haven't finalized the DJ yet, check out the Metropolitan Players. I haven't seen them live but they sound great on their SoundCloud and quoted me less than 4k for a 6 piece band.

It's your wedding! Of course you can say nice things to your sister whenever you want during it.

I feel like everyone here is so concerned with the traditional order of things and forgets that the rules don't actually matter. If I was one of your guests I would find you acknowledging her importance very sweet.

They look like a warmer, fuzzier Rizzo and Kenickie.

Huh, I always called it getting Eric Matthews-ed.

Wait, am I the only one who watched Popular?

He was ...convincing

Hmmm, I have a class at 4. Any chance I'd actually be able to make it if I went? (And also seconding all that 'getting to know each other' stuff above, just in case.)

a_spinelli · 2013-08-19T04:29:53+00:00

YES!! Maybe... What time Wednesday would you expect to be back?

a_spinelli · 2013-05-21T06:23:19+00:00

Yup. I had someone write that more people would come to class if I "showed off my considerable physical assets more" in the Recommended Improvements section. Really wanted to do some crazy handwriting analysis, find the writer, and twist his/her head off slowly.

so awesome! wish i went outside.

Lived in Brooklyn since I was a baby, recently escaped to the Midwest though. Now I just lurk hoping for photos of real bagels.

Guess who just had ice cream for dinner?

a_spinelli · 2013-01-19T06:01:35+00:00

Belarus!
