  0 0 For what it's worth, here's what I know about the car problems: I started having a problem where the car wouldn't upshift, so for me to get to faster speeds the car would be at 5k-6k RPM. I made an appointment to take it in, but before I could the engine gave out. The mechanic said the engine was completely out of oil, so there must have been some kind of burn going on in there (I'm not THAT bad a car owner). He didn't look at the transmission too heavily, so I don't know if the problems are related or not. At any rate, I acknowledge that fixing the car is the cheapest way to get myself back into automotive transportation. The car has about 155k miles, 100k of which I've put on it in the decade I've owned it. At this point, my thought process is that I'd sort of like a new car (owned this one a LONG time), but I do most of my traveling these days by bicycle and so I can afford to wait a bit and save up for something a bit newer/nicer.

  0 0 A trade-in isn't really an option for me; while I technically have the cash to repair this car if I needed to I can't afford to buy a newer car outright at the moment. Thanks for the extra advice though, Jack! Jon commented about 1 year ago

  Suggestions for a wedding toast?

  1 0 Having given a couple of these things, I think it's probably a good idea to steer away from any canned jokes for the most part. Keeping it relatively short, sweet, and to the point is a good idea. I tell a couple of jokes, make everyone laugh, say one or two poignant things, give the actual toast and then get the fuck out of there. But I've always been fond of this closer: "To the bride and groom, may you love each other more than yesterday but less than tomorrow."

  0 0 I ended up checking out Kuhlman. They definitely have an impressive selection of fabric and the proprietor clearly knows what he's doing, but for the sake of anyone viewing this down the line it was a lot more expensive than I would have guessed as a non-fashionista. Like, three times more expensive than I would have guessed. I assume I'm going to love the shirt, I just think I'd have to shop around a bit before I could afford to have any more of those made.
