I don't know ANYTHING about the cost of weddings. Suppose two people are considering the budget of a wedding. Both are middle class, him living on his own pulling in about 50K/year, her currently living with mom, trying to get a decent job after getting her Master's. Mom wants to help, but Dad just died.

Important: Great dress, tons of flowers, nice reception hall with decent food and a competent DJ

Negligable: Ice swan, table decorations, cake, transportation

Oh, and 12K has already been offered by the grandmother. What kind of budget would be typical for this kind of idea?

I have just had my baby at the end of June and I received a depo shot before I left the hospital and I bleed normally for just having a baby and for the months of August and September I didn't get my period at all. I received my second shot at the end of September and for the past two and a half I have been bleeding off and on. One day it will be heavy bleeding like my period and the next day it would stop, everyday it is something different with the bleeding one day it's there and the next it's non-existent. I wanted to know if this is normal with the depo shot because it's becoming very aggrevating and if it is because of the depo shot I was considering switching to the pill. So is this normal with the shot???

whenever we go out. She says it turns her on, but she once took pictures of me in them and showed them to my father. He doesn't talk to me anymore. She's threatening to show them to my friends, too. When I asked her not to, she showed my mom. Now I don't talk to either parent. What should I do?

We've seen the charges, and the responses.

Let's tackle it head-on.

So, why do you think this this belief exists?

Thanks.

The school nurse, in her attempt to educate the seventh graders on the dangers of alcohol, set up a demonstration.
"This glass is full of pure grain alcohol," she said, "and this one has ordinary tapwater. Now watch."
She proceeded to drop a live earthworm in each glass. The worm in the water swam about happily while the other squirmed, shriveled up and died.
"Now can anyone tell me what you've learned from this?" she asked.
The slacker in the back row raised his hand and responded, "If I drink alcohol, then I won't get worms."

Message: You don't know jack **** about me.

Look at you, wow you're not intelligent are you? Not to bright are we? My intelligence surpasses you by far. I can out talk you, I can outwit you half of the vernacular that comes out of my mouth you would barely be able understand.

Not that it matters I'm a size 4 with real **** and a real personality. Guys like me because I'm not a ***** like you. My boyfriend not that it's any of your business broke up with me because we don't have anything in common anymore. Things do happen in relationships when you realize that that person isn't the right one. Instead of being a immature little welch probably like you, I have nothing but good things to say about my ex. It was an experience.

I don't are what you say about me cause you're a piece of **** loser. It makes you feel better to pick on people because you have no life and no one likes you. Honestly. Get a life. People like you make me laugh. You think you're tough **** cause oh you called someone out on the internet. You're a loser. Face it.

Nice manners by the way.

In an effort to clarify questions about the purported durability and unusual physical characteristics of Twinkies, we subjected the Hostess snack logs to the following experiments:

Exposure

A Twinkie was left on a window ledge for 4 days, during which time an inch and a half of rain fell. Many flies were observed crawling across the Twinkie's surface, but contrary to hypothesis, birds, even pigeons, avoided this potential source of substance. Despite the rain and prolonged exposure to the sun, the Twinkie retained its original color and form. When removed, the Twinkie was found to be substantially dehydrated. Cracked open, it was observed to have taken on the consistency of industrial foam insulation; the filling however, retained its advertised "creaminess"

Radiation

A Twinkie was placed in a conventional microwave oven, which was set for precisely 4 minutes - the approximate cooking time of bacon. After 20 seconds, the oven began to emit the Twinkie's rich, characteristic aroma of artificial butter. After one minute, this aroma began to resemble the acrid smell of burning rubber. The experiment was aborted after 2 minutes 10 seconds when thick, foul smoke began billowing from the top of the oven. A second Twinkie was subjected to the same experiment; this Twinkie leaked molten white filling. When cooled, this now epoxylike filling bonded the Twinkie to its plate, defying gravity: it was removed only upon application of a butter knife. Extreme Force

A Twinkie was dropped from a ninth-floor window, a fall of approximately 120 feet. It landed right side up, then bounced onto its back. The expected "splatter" effect was not observed. Indeed, the only discernible damage to the Twinkie was a narrow fissure on its underside; otherwise, the Twinkie remained structurally intact.

Extreme Cold

A Twinkie was placed in a conventional freezer for 24 hours. Upon removal, the Twinkie was not found to be frozen solid, but its physical properties had noticeably "slowed". The filling was found to be the approximate consistency of acrylic paint, while exhibiting the mercurylike property of not adhering to practically any surface. It was noticed the Twinkie had generously absorbed the freezer odors.

Extreme Heat

A Twinkie was exposed to a gas flame for 2 minutes. While the Twinkie smoked and blackened and the filling in one of its "cream holes" boiled, the Twinkie did not catch fire. It did, however produce the same "burning rubber" aroma noticed in the irradiation experiment.

Immersion

A Twinkie was dropped into a large bucket filled with water, the Twinkie floated momentarily, then began to list and sink. Viscous yellow tendrils ran off its lower half, possibly consisting of a water-soluble artificial coloring. After 2 hours, the Twinkie bloated substantially. Its coloring was now a very pale tan - in contrast to the yellow, urine-like water that surrounded it. The Twinkie bobbed when touched, and had a gelatinous texture. After 72 hours, the Twinkie had increased roughly 200 percent of its original size. The water had turned opaque, and a small, fan-shaped spray of filling had leaked from one of the "cream holes". Unfortunately, efforts to remove the Twinkie for further analysis were abandoned when, under light pressure the Twinkie disintegrated into an amorphous cloud of debris. A distinctly sour odor was noted.

Summary of Results

The Twinkie's survival of a 120-foot drop, along with some of the unusual phenomena associated with the "creamy filling" and artificial coloring, should give pause to those observers who would unequivocally categorize the Twinkie as "food". Further clinical inquiry is required before any definite conclusions can be drawn.

I have a very strong sewer smell in my basement and house. We just moved into a house built in 1875. The drains in the basement lead to a septic tank. When we first moved in, the drains continually backed up. Last week, we had a plumber dig up a line and replace a bad stretch of PVC. He also added a trap (it didn't have one before). So we still have one drain without a trap. Since the plumber fixed the line, we haven't had any more backups, but the smell is absolutely horrible! Before the 'fix', we never noticed any smell except for when it backed up. Now, it's a constant strong odor. Any ideas? Sugguestions?
Thanks in advance.
