My wedding will inject substantial funding into the California (and national) economy. I deserve stimulus funding.
Which is to say, Debbie and I now both have lovely engagement rings. Hers is from Brilliant Earth, a sapphire set in their "Seacrest" design. Mine is the "Challah" design from Sumiche.
We've also made a deposit on a reception hall/wedding site, but that's a discussion for another day. Next projects: caterers, photographers, and the rest of the shebang. Can we singlehandedly save the California economy?

Both the economic stimulus plan passed by the House and the plan passed by the Senate have quite a bit of funding for scientific research. As most of you know, scientific research is near and dear to my heart, and I'm generally in favor of spending lots of money trying to learn new things. For…
While everyone is worried about who is more TEH SUCK, Obama or Clinton, there's a stimulus package working its way through Capitol Hill. One of the arguments revolves around what is the best way to stimulate the economy. But that's the wrong way to pose the problem.

I write a lot on here about science education. Indeed, that's a big motivator for having this site at all. Science is endlessly fascinating, and it's a pleasure…
If it's going down in the Bay Area, I can recommend a photographer.
Good luck with that stimulus money application!
This is great news! congratulations to you both. You should post a photo of the bride for fans like me.
Break the bank if you feel like it!
But it is more important to get what you want. For instance,
my daughter had what was important to her: good wine and a classic quartet. She got a marriage gown from the 1940s on ebay for 18 dollars and she looked stunning. Total cost of the marriage 5,000 dollars: it felt like ten times more.
I deserve stimulus funding.
Man, don't you get it? You are the stimulus funding!
