  1. we got married in 2011. had to book a catholic church and a hall big enough for 200 people. wife isn't catholic, so we also had to run through the whole pre-cana bullshit beforehand. her wedding ring was like $1000 on top of the engagement ring i had already paid off. my wedding ring was maybe $200ish. made most of the decorations on our own. bought blank invitations and printed them ourselves. tossed up a website for rsvp because it was cheaper than the return postage. had a friend offer to make our cake as her gift. cut corners everywhere we could. and about 3 months before the wedding, our basement flooded and ruined some of the wedding stuff. good thing the insurance check was big enough to fix everything that took damage, with a few thousand left over to put towards the wedding.
  2. i think we spent around $5000 on our wedding, but half of that was just the dinner and drink tab. i thought we did pretty good. the engagement ring isn't included in that total either, but the wedding rings are. i'd have been fine treating some close friends and immediate family to dinner and a night out after doing the courthouse thing, but coming from a big catholic family and having to meet obligations to said family like any of it matters... and we never sent out thank-you cards because i thanked everyone personally at the reception. people got mad about not getting a thank-you card for some reason. ehh, whatever.
  3. is it OK to use "exercise" as an excuse to play beat saber into the wee hours? wife says no, but got damn my arms are sore this morning. hammies too.
  4. you're not driving right? and if dad's being a little bitch the whole time, a little booze cruise can only make your life better.
  5. it's perfectly legal in some states to ride shotgun with a loaded drink. plus, you're mixing your alcohol with even more alcohol. sounds like a double win to me.
  6. we don't fuck around. this was for 18 people, and we damn near polished it off. $120 at aldi for all of this goodness.
  7. have them cut you an additional check for the difference?
  8. what if we don't share accounts and expenses? but i digress. i got a pook man-sized onesie and socks from the wife. we (she) also got a pots & pans set from her mother. and i got the whole family (mostly for myself) a playstation vr, and also built that new gaming pc. we're heading nort' this weekend for my family's xmas, but i don't expect anything for myself. the boys will get another pile of crap, i'm sure. wife and i also each got a $60 amazon gift card from our employees. the perks of owning a business...
  9. that's not a party tray. this is a party tray. or perhaps more specifically, a charcuterie board. and this the cheaper one.
  10. just so you know, that child support money will all be going into my pocket for hookers and blow. so thank you.
  11. i never said i was oldEST.
  12. fuck, i'm old.
  13. add that to the pile of shit that makes less sense the more you think about it.
  14. well, they did try to fix a lot from the last jedi, but it only opened up new issues imo. this movie could have probably been spread across two if they explored everything necessary to reach the conclusion we got. but that doesn't fit the neat little trilogy package, so let's just stuff that turkey hard and hope for the best!
  15. and one more thing,
  16. yeah, i guess that never did come up. huh.
  17. well, the critics aren't wrong. it was pretty bad.first of all, i feel like there were a lot of missed opportunities to make this better. a few pretty big things happen, that could have (should have) made people cry like babies. but you weren't really given an opportunity to digest them before the next thing is forced into your face. and things happen that ... i mean, i've seen the other movies, several times. and things happen in this movie that just don't reconcile for me. and there's not much in the way of explanation offered, you just have to pick it up as you go. or just give up trying to make sense of what you're watching, and enjoy it for the eye candy it is. except those leia scenes. those were straight cgi trash and they'd have done better to just write her out of the film entirely, or at the least, minimize her role quite a bit. and there's so much more. but i'm done bashing it for now. it was a lot of fun and a fitting end to this trilogy, for the most part. there were some interesting twists, and i left it with a good sense of closure. hopefully this is the last one they make. ok, my biggest gripe though:
  18. and i'm bringing back a thread full of spoilers for you fine folks. see you in a few hours
  19. that's it. i created one of the riddles.
  20. whatever it was called, the bureau of incoherence or something. there was a damn website and riddles and user ranks. i think.
  21. when you have to clarify which fbi event you're referring to
  22. i wanna say i was around during all the fbi stuff, which was maybe 07-08? before then too, but it's all fuzzy when you go back that far.
