I feel like "living funeral" is a persistent spontaneous invention of dudes in their 20s with the robust and dynamic social circle that entails.

My grandma had a living funeral type thing, she was declining from Parkinson's and so all her relatives and all the kids she'd fostered over the decades came out to say goodbye and tell her how much of a positive impact she's been in their lives.

I'm just confused on how brother 2 was going to get married at the reception. Was he going to smuggle in a friend who is an ordained minister and do it on the dance floor? Or did OP mean to say they were getting engaged and mispoke?

Well it's England so who knows but in the USA you can go to a website, click the 'ordain me' button and you're legally allowed to marry people. Since they're in England I'd wonder how they were going to handle the prima noctis thing with the local baron, but presumably he took care of that before they left for the honeymoon.

The reasoning was possibly vaguely religion-based. She was a lifelong devout Catholic but I'm pretty sure nothing there says if you are step-siblings you will be cursed with inbreeding issues.

Henry VIII argued with the Pope that his marriage to Catherine of Aragon was invalid because she was his sister in-law

I recently visited NY for the first time in 25 years with my extended family. We all grew up there and so part of it we went to places we used to go growing up. One of which was a diner on Long Island that when I left in the late '90s had two complete HVAC systems with HEPA filters on one of them, and a separate glass walled 'smoking section' from the outside it looked like frosted glass. But the 'smoking/non' really did work there. Now in the 2020s the glass room is there but it's just a separate dining room.

Moving from smoking NY to non-smoking Colorado in the late 90s was a huge change. My boss in CO explained that it was only a few years ago that they stopped letting you smoke in the office building and many conference rooms still had ash trays.

Oh yeah I went to Mississippi for work a few years back and people were smoking in restaurants. Was a real blast from the past.

I had a family friend who let his wife hold his hand during delivery and got a broken hand out of it, I can't even imagine what that amount of strength would do to a pair of balls instead of something with bones :allears:

I was present at 2 out of 3 of my kid's births and it wasn't so bad. Hospital wifi was a little slow and the food service was mediocre but there was a good Indian restaurant across the street.

'i never saw myself raising a boy' basically means she fantasized so hard over having a little girl she broke her own goddamn brain, bc you threw the loving dice on a 50-50 gamble here. i dunno why but i'm imagining the sort of person who refuses to consider the option they dislike happening because they believe even acknowledging it will actually have some effect.

and I mean - she can still try to have more kids, drat. she's not for-sure never gonna be a girl-mom, unless she also only ever planned to have one.

AITAH - My friend keeps on talking about my ex in front of my fiancée


"Oh how selfish I was for..." <checks notes> "Getting a PhD so I could get a great job!"

Update - 23 days later


If you realized it was racism from the moment the fiancee was named, you win a prize! But I just love Lisa being like, "Well now that you're done studying and are rich, I guess we can pick up where things left off since neither of us found anything better!"

What do I care for your suffering? Pain, even agony, is no more than information before the senses, data fed to the computer of the mind. The lesson is simple: you have received the information, now act on it. Take control of the input and you shall become master of the output.

Verbal agreements with boomer parents aren't worth the paper they're not printed on. They absolutely experience pleasure from leaving their own kids hanging at the last moment.

Yeah I heard a story about a guy who had to work for his future father-in-law for seven years unpaid before he could marry his daughter and when it came time for the wedding and she pulled up her veil it was the wrong daughter! He ended up having to work another seven years unpaid to get the right one.

I'd say use these 6 hours to get a head start on the series, no excuses.

eta: "We salute the rank and not the man" is such an awesome scene.

The only problem with it is that the guy Schwimmer played was right all along and Winters was just being a dick to a guy that got screwed over.
