I don't care if Karen takes my name or goes back to her maiden name. As long as she doesn't hyphenate.

I'm not a fan at all of the Hyphenated names... this is my own opinion, and if you are going to do it, or have done it, etc... good for you. But to me, if my wife did that... I don't know.. just kinda makes me feel like she's not into the marriage fully. Probably feel like that as well if they kept their maiden name in most instances.

Last time I talked to Jay, I believe she was going to change her already hyphenated name to my name... to me it sends a signal that she's in this for the long haul. :thumbs:

I just returned from red lobster.

the prices *(*&%%*(()))

sooooo I had shrimps and pretended it was lobster.

typical red lobster...prices that is...

you know the prices are off the chain. its so worth flying some place else for a decent lobster

dinner and get it at reasonable prices. Red lobster force you to eat them delicous cheeze

biscuits and they have the nerve to charge you 27.00 for tiny lobster.
