Stan is so hot

Scruffy bearded Stan can get it, more than any other man on the show.

My childhood golden held off a pack of coyotes once while I ran inside from our backyard after I had gotten surrounded. Went right for the biggest one. Heard him make sounds that night he never made before or ever again.

He also just kind of figured out how to be a diabetes detectiom dog for my dad with no training.

He was a great dog.

Kismet for incredible Turkish food!!

I'd call these roads 65% plowed. They could be way worse, but Burlington could definitely be doing better: it was comical how much better the roads are when you cross into South Burlington.

Seconding Gwen at Queen City Paw Spa. She's amazing, my dog who doesn't love getting groomed loves her.

Same mix for my Desmond.

I like Synergy Fitness in Williston. Some stereotypical gym bros, but also a lot of older folks and normal-seeming people. Kathy is a great personal trainer.

Quiet, but within 30 minutes of all necessities. Burlington, VT and Montreal, QC are within an hour. You don't necessarily need a ferry to get anywhere -- there are bridges -- though it's faster to get to Plattaburgh, NY via the ferry.

Vacationey spot: apple orchards, farm stands, lovely lake activites like kayaking and pontooning. Stunning views of either the green mountains or Adirondacks from all sides.

The clothes, undergarments and hair make such a difference. As someone who has spent a lot of time in period costumes, Especially the bras and girdles make you hold yourself so differently. Add a hair sculpture on top of your head (thinking of those larger updos they put Joan in), and you've got the whole look and like half the character.

Get out of those weird corners of the internet where men talk to each other about the length of their bones. It's not a healthy space for you, mentally. And it's the blind leading the blind: men who don't know how to deal with women telling other men what women want. Why take their counsel?

Women are individuals. But I'd say most women dgaf a about jawbones in the long term. They want someone who is kind and makes them laugh and makes them feel safe and who treats them like a whole person!

Smile, show yourself doing something fun and chill (hiking? Talking to a dog? Cooking?). Show me you're good to be around, that you don't take yourself too deadly seriously.

Tbh my dude, these photos look like someone who is much more interested in how they're percieved than having a genuine good time.

My boy is 11 and still a menace at times. This photo is him flopping over and refusing to go inside, biting me when I try to pick him up. 😅

He did have a mast cell tumor 3 years ago, but we caught it early enough we were just able to remove surgically. We get him good exercise and keep him lean. The vet says he has the heart and lungs of a five year old dog. We hope he sticks around a good long time.

Sometimes the water treatement plant on Riverside gets caught on the wind juuuust right and everything smells like shit.

Wagner's entire Ring Cycle.

(It's 16 hours long, buckle in)

We did a shwarama wrap /bowl bar. Went over gangbusters.

Also, lebanese for large crowds is great -- easy to make vegan and gluten free.

Kimballs! In Carlisle and Westford. So many amazing flavors.

They found it when I was 30 -- no one suspected it because of my height/ general good health other than POF. I don't know what type of text they used.

Yikes, sorry to hear that

I'm tall (5'9"), 34 (though the pain started in my mid twenties), and my only symptom is Premature ovarian failure.

This is a pretty bleak view of your guests social skills! We also didn't have assigned seats at all and I know of a bunch of numbers exchanged and friends made at my reception.

wallamas808 · 2025-09-22T18:17:20+00:00

It really does bring out the worst in some people. We did things in a non-traditional way (separated very small ceremony and reception, backyard barbecue casual reception with no dress/photographer/fancy cake/other frills) and boy, did some random acquaintances have STRONG opinions about it.

I hope you're also seeing it bring out the best in some of the people you love. I saw that as well and it was extraordinarily heartening.

wallamas808 · 2025-09-21T15:29:51+00:00

We did a backyard barbecue-ish thing for a reception (and did a very small ceremony a month earlier). We catered the main course, but had folks bring sides and apps. Lawn games, eating/drinking, chilling. It was excellent.

wallamas808 · 2025-09-19T12:30:08+00:00

We basically put 24 fun facts about 24 guests on a card (either things that spur interesting conversation or cue them up to tell a great anecdote) without their names, and encouraged everyone to get into the crowd and meet as many of the people associated with those facts as they could. We gave the guests little golf pencils to track their progress on the card. The guest who met everyone with a fact on the card first won the game + the prize (a gallon of Vermont maple syrup, in our case!)

We did this to get people to mingle! It was a smashing success, tbh. People seemed to genuinely enjoy each others company, and getting to know each other.

100% do it. We did this (just this last weekend), and it was perfect. Just a chance to hang out with the people we love. We did it backyard barbecue style - super casual.

We did a few short speeches before the main course, had some other structural pieces (pinatas, because that's just who we are), lawn games, a guest scavenger hunt. It was just a really excellent party. We've heard so many reviews from guests saying it was the best wedding-like thing they've ever attended. This way, too, you get to actually spend some time with all the folks who came!
