The founder is super tight with Mitch Daniels and got a ton of state money (IEDC) for “job creation” in Indiana. Vera Bradley is all over the damn place in Indy. The first time I flew home and went to the new airport- Stupid Vera Bradley store was like the crown jewel of the shop section.

Or they could try making bags that don’t remind me of the bedspread in a Radisson circa 1994?

To be fair, is there a male equivalent to the “socialite” label? I can’t think of one...

Just remember, they’re only a Socialite if they’ve crashed to Earth. If they’re still in space, they’re just Social.

Besides, what kind of graduation allows some kid’s dumb sister to make a speech. This is an asinine fabrication--it’s not even interesting.

I’m relieved that this was an improvised thing. If this had been the plan, I would have been upset that they didn’t use a wagon or something to get him down the aisle more comfortably.

My grandmother can leave me wondering sometimes if I was burned, or if my sister was straight up insulted. “Why don’t you wear the other dress? It helped your sister look thin.” It’s like she’s got to get in a twofer.

1. Get Mary to agree to the $10k in writing + signature, on camera.

I don’t understand, why doesn’t she just get the mice and birds to make a beautiful wedding dress?

Here’s the part that trips me up: It sounds like Mary has been wealthy for a while when the OP says stuff like this: “She paid my brother to let her come to his graduation and make a speech...She paid Anne to let her be a chaperone on her senior trip instead of mom...She pays my brother for information on what Anne…

Take the money, split it with the Good Sister and figure out how much you can get for your firstborn. Or at least how much you can get to name Bad Sister the godmother. Buy a spinning wheel.

Dude, if I were the poor sister I would tell bride sister to absolutely take rich sister’s money. Then we could split the cash to go do something awesome just the two of us. And if we’re feeling bitchy we could plaster pics all over Facebook of our great time together. We could even tag mean sister like, “Without Mary…

THIS. I heard that NPR interview and it changed my mind about this photo. The cop who made the decision to post this was BROKEN UP over the state of addicts in his community. He repeatedly stated that they - as well as his police department - had no resources to help in the fight. He bemoaned the fact that this little…

former EMT and my understanding of the side effects of Narcan gives me the feeling that it’s borderline abusive to use it on someone who is high but not in respiratory distress...

What’s the statute of limitations on referring to someone as a “young woman?” She’s 35 or something, isn’t she? And SJP is approximately my age, early 50s. “Young woman” is something I’d maybe use to describe a woman just out of college, just entering the workforce, living through her first solo years and making those…

Oh, she was a hellion. I sneaked tequila in for her margaritas. She bitched about being surrounded by so many old people and heckled Bingo night when she was feeling particularly feisty.

Edit: She was also a bona fide Rosie the Riveter in WWII, building bombers while her husband was in the Pacific. She later told me…

Yeah I don't understand what's happening here. The headline says she's not offended but the tweet indicates she's offended. The article says it's ok to call objects but not people Oriental but the tweet indicates she saw an object called Oriental. I'm completely confused.

Objects like vases and rugs......and salad dressing, maybe?

We all have the option to get fully baked at any time we choose.

SJP talked bout KK as she is 16.
