I am soooooooo frustrated!!!!!!!!!!! I just read our engagement announcement in the newspaper and they printed our HOME ADDRESSES with our announcement! WTF?!?!?!?!? No one else's was like that! The lady that usually writes these up was on vacation and I suppose they just took ALL the information from the form and put it right in the paper.

Maybe I am over-reacting but I work with people who are mentally ill. I just dont want anyone showing up at my house. Not that anyone I work with is dangerous, but they aren't always up on whats socially acceptable and whats not.

Anyway, I am done venting. I just hope nothing comes of this!

Do you live in a big suburban area?

Not meaning to alarm you but .... It used to be customary to print the name of the street that you live on, but it's not done any longer because thieves will know that you are out of the house on the day of your wedding and beyond.

We dont live in a very populated area so I am no concerned about thieves. I am more concerned about the weirdos.:notsure:

Thats right! There is no reason to be scared of owning guns unless you dont know how to use them, and thats not an issue!:wink:

I have never touched one so .... I wouldn't have a clue how to use them LOL

You know you are Canadian when ..... you've defended your property from trespassers with a lacrosse stick because you don't own a gun. :rofl:

That about says it all :)

ok no ii dont think your overreacting. I really think that you should call them... explain what your upset about----they at least need to learn it is unacceptable.
Maybe they will refund your ad money (not that it helps NOW)
