This new guest book thing is dumb anyway

something else to add to the list of a gazilion ways to fawn all over the couple! Gag. Who really cares? Can you believe people are so full of themselves these days? It's truly mind boggling. And with the divorce rate being 50% or higher, why do they even bother?
I'd definitely be there in my red dress for sure, would maybe even stuff my bra so my cleavage popped out!
Anything to get out of the dumb guest book thing!
It's actually insulting, you too are supposed to be a guest :)
Let us know what happens!!!

Why do they need someone in charge of the guest book?
You leave it on the table by the placecards, and people sign it when they get their table assignments. I have never seen anyone in charge of a guest book before. Talk about micromanaging.
I once was assigned guest book duty.
Like you, I didn't know what that entailed. When I arrived at the reception, I was told to hold the thing as people walked up and signed it. Basically, I was a human podium. If that's what the bride wants you to do, tell her to leave it on the table! How rude of her to expect so much! Show up in the red dress and don't even sign the silly guest book!
What's the point of a guest book, anyway? They'll have the cards and

I'm a guest
We go to my parent's house every year. We usually just bring some cornbread or some type of dessert.
Guest...
And all the guests bring a covered dish, a dessert, and a drink. The hostess does the meat (turkey) and a veggie or 2, plus desserts...plus all the cleaning, planning, etc., which is why I'm glad it's not my year to hostess!
Until they become family they are a guest...
and should sleep in the guest room like anyone else! Totally agree :)
Guest books are not new
I had one at my wedding 22 years ago. I was also guest book attendant for a friend from high school. Got there early, got to see everyone as they came in and say hi to people I hadn't seen in awhile. Not that big of a deal. Of course, she didn't tell me what I had to wear, either.
No, I mean she is the ONLY guest of honor and I am ignored (sm)
We have to celebrate how she wants, where she wants, etc. and she is lavished with attention while I am barely acknowledged as being a mother that day at all. Of course she still qualifies as a mother - but I am one too!
Your post, she is always the guest of honor?
even though you are still raising children does not make sense to me. Do you mean once a child grows up you don’t qualify for a mother anymore?
Is it rude to ask a house guest
how long they will be staying. My MIL came Sunday to go to a doctor's appointment Monday. Well, the doctor appointment is over and it is already Wednesday and she is still here. She does tell us pretty much when she is coming but there is no end in sight. She is super sensitive and cries a lot with "you don't want me" so I don't know how to ask without any water works. I just want to know what to expect.
The other day Racheal Ray had a guest with a good suggestion.
She soaked a cotton ball with vanilla extract, placed in a cute, little glass dish and set it in her fridge. Bet that would work for you!!!
The guest list is up to the bride & groom....sm
no one else! Of course if grandma wants to foot the bill for the wedding then I'm sure they'd consider her desires.
Missouri wedding guest...please report in! :) nm

Totally agast, unwelcomed guest, how to handle
Last Christmas my husband's nephew was invited for Christmas breakfast and his friend came along. They were from out of town. They about ate us out of house and home and the friend after breakfast helped himself to the remote, changed channels and then spread across the couch and decided to go to sleep. These guys have no manners (older group here and they are hip-hop type guys). They later went to another family's home where they again were unmannerly. Get this, now the nephew calls (we had invited some other people) and he told husband he said he would be glad to give these people a ride! I know he probably is planning to have another dinner here (now not only his friend is in town but also wife and 4 kids). I would be so mortified to have all those folks show up, I probably would be very, very rude and it would be Christmas. My husband is not confrontational and did not say anything when his nephew said he offered to bring others and from another state. Ok, what would you do in this situation? Thanks!
Brunch guest who can't have dairy or salt - snowed in!
Out of ideas! Also, looking for simple recipe for brunch requiring stuff I have on hand. Martha always has some confounded ingredient I never heard of. Lost my hash brown recipe. Have frozen hash browns, sour cream, cr. chicken soup, butter & chips, forgot how I put them all together last time. Locked in, more snow coming, zero degrees in NE, don't even know if people will make it here. I'm frustrated. Have a spiral ham on hand, thank goodness! Sounds like I'll be cooking but will they come in the stormy weather. Darned if I do, darned if I don't! The no dairy, no salt thing is driving me up the walls.
Oh well, have a happy holiday. Tip: Put furniture polish or cooking oil on your snow shovel and the snow won't stick.
I think it's dumb too . . .
it was a joke on my part.
He's dumb as a fox......sm
The lyrics to a song by Nashville's Cornbread Mafia. I do not like country music, but they are right on the money.
http://www.burtonharvey.com/cornbreadmafia/
He acts real dumb but the act isn't fooling me
He gets things done to destroy our sovereignty
He's a servant of the globalists from foreign lands
Our leader is a traitor with blood on his hands
Traitor...Dare call it treason
Traitor...Dare call it treason
Some see a failure; I see a big success
Using our terror to undermine the whole U.S.
When the towers came down, and everybody froze
Bush and Giuliani came up smelling like a rose
Traitor...Dare call it treason
Traitor...Dare call it treason
It's election time again, and everybody's ready to vote
If both candidates are owned, brother tell me where is the hope?
Hillary and Huckabee are waiting there in line
I guess we'll get a Democrat traitor this time
Traitor...Dare call it treason
Traitor...Dare call it treason
They want a fascist planet with the superwealthy ruling it all
Since we're too independent, America must be led to fall
When our credit's been exhausted to subdue the Middle East,
They'll install our debtor nation in the body of The Beast
Traitor...Dare call it treason
Traitor...Dare call it treason
This song is almost over, but I have one thing further to say
I'll ask you for a favor when the agents come to take me away
Disseminate this anthem over cyberspace,
And shout this accusation in every bought-off leader's face:
Traitor...Dare call it treason
Traitor...Dare call it treason
sorry for dumb
How do you check the history?
This may sound dumb...
but it's driving me crazy. Does anyone remember a Jewish actress, around 60-ish now, with very short dark red hair, very prominent features, large nose. I think she played in a sitcom maybe as someone's mom. We saw her tonight in New York and all recognized her but none of us can remember what show she was on! Just wondering if anyone might be able to help us figure this out.
Don't be dumb. I'm sure others got what I meant ;)

Dumb question from me
Why do you need to get your husband off to work? You should be in bed sleepng - you need uninterrupted sleep, not 3-hour and 4 hour-long naps.
Sorry, but your husband is an adult and should get himself going.
OK, sorry if this is a dumb question...sm
I noticed on some movies set in the 60s and 70s that if there were doctors in them, they always seemed to have their black bag at the ready. Is that something docs do nowadays or did that go the way of the housecall with the advent of the malpractice suit? Just curious.
Dumb question? sm
My brother and his wife just graduated from medical school (YEAH!) . My SIL has kept her maiden name. When addressing a letter to them how should it look?
Dr. April Cox and Dr. Jonathan Grant

Forgive my ignorance
I have what probably is a dumb question (sm)
We live in a not so great house on a piece of land on the water that has been going up in value. The appraisal value of the house is $65,000, market value $250,000 with the land. People are always looking to buy property out here. My question is, when we do decide to sell, what would we probably get? Or even ask for? Chances are they would tear the house down anyway and build a new one.
dumb me - probably San Diego.
will keep you in my prayers.
Why would you do that? I don't understand it. I saw it and think its dumb. nm

Don't feel dumb
I may be way off base. And I have a just turned 14 year old so I know what you mean.
And how DUMB were they to film themselves in the act? -n/m-
You don't sound dumb at all, only like
a typical woman who has been living in an abusive situation for an extended period of time. I can relate, especially to the part about being intelligent about everything EXCEPT this one thing.
The chance is there for the taking. Right now, you're just spinning your wheels, and revving up your hot rod for the main event. If I am understanding you correctly, it seems that your main issue has to do with the custody arrangement and your feeling the need to prove the abuse in the court to influence the outcome. Bottom line is this. That situation is NOT in your control. All you can do is your best. You stress to your attorney your concerns about unsupervised visitation and testify to that in no uncertain terms should you end up in a hearing. Then you hope and pray for the best. Beyond that, you accept the courts ruling and deal with it THEN, not now. It is not a foregone conclusion that your kids will become his target once you remove yourself from the mix. Hopefully, anger mgmt will be part of any sane custody arrangement and I think it is highly unlikely that he will be getting joint custody.
dumb ? but would the dry cake sm
mixture recipe work with canned pumpkin pie mix? Love pumpkin, have cans of one-pie and a can of crushed pineapple w/the cake mix. Sounds like it would be very "mush". Just thought I'd ask!

Oh, I agree it's dumb, but I just want to see Stephanie GET IT!
This may be a dumb question so please be nice.
I would like to play dradle but am not Jewish. I thought it would be fun to teach my children dradle and even some adults! I am not religious so I don't know if it would step on any toes to play dradle not for Chanukah and I am not Jewish. As I said, this is a serious question. I don't know if this strictly religious thing or can bring some culture into my children's lives. (I am also aware that Chanukah is not *Jewish Christmas* so plan to play dradle out of season; it is just they are available now.) TIA!
Ohhh. Feeling a little dumb now...
I have a preteen....so my definition of gamer was, well...playing those darn games every chance they get.
Addendum to Dumb Question #1 ! -sm
It SHOULD say,"... or do you first start the power, and then turn on the WATER?"
(..not the "machine" as I typed above. I need more coffee..................)
Okay, this is going to sound like a dumb question -
but what are Crocs? I just started having this heel pain about a week ago. It's been hard to bear weight, and I'm limping badly after doing the grocery shopping. Same thing - my pedal foot. I even had it on an ice pack while I was working a few days ago! I've been transcribing for nineteen years, and it just started. Are crocs and orthosis?
I don't understand how people were dumb enough

It doesn't sound dumb...
...at all. I miss my Noni girl every single day. She was the light of my life, my soulmate who happened to be a different species. I have gotten 2 new dogs, but my heart will never feel the same.
I know it sounds dumb, but this is the truth (sm)
I thought I missed my chance to get out when I did not turn my husband in when he attacked me 3 years ago. I thought I had to wait for another big incident. I did not think any of the things he is doing would matter to anyone. I thought he was just a jerk. I didn't think I could go and tell someone the things he is doing and actually get help. I am intelligent about a lot of things...apparently not about this. I just recently found out that these things are considered abuse. I thought only the hitting part was and I thought i had waited too long.
Teenagers - so smart, yet so dumb
A Middletown teenager is expected to be in court this week for allegedly ordering more than $37,000 of candy online to be charged to Middletown High School.
Jad Holmes, 18, is scheduled to be in Middletown Municipal Court on Wednesday, Feb. 11, for two counts of telecommunications fraud, both fifth-degree felonies, according to court records.
Holmes is accused of placing two orders — for $19,880 and $17,372, respectively — through a Michigan-based company, according to police records.
The order was to be shipped to his address and billed to Middletown High School, records show.
After taking possession of one order, he was arrested by Middletown police, according to records.
Holmes also is charged with two counts of theft of drugs, both fourth-degree felonies, according to court records.
He's being held in Middletown City Jail on a bond of $30,700, according to jail records.
dumb blonde question
I have never used liquid laundry detergents. At what point do you add the detergent to the laundry? Being a somewhat scatterbrained person at times, I am afraid I would end up forgetting to add the detergent!!!!
Thanks,

My Poor Dumb Dogs
We've got thunderstorms rolling through my little pocket of heaven here (which means the internet will be going kerplunk any minute). The poor little guys think we're under attack from unseen things that go bump in the night. I'm glad I quit work with the first rumble (I hate to lose a report in the middle when the internet goes down, and it always does). The ruckus they're kicking up would have made it virtually impossible to hear what Dr. Adujaminahibadutrakyanski is mumbling about tonight.
