Could it be tonsil stones? I have them, and the last guy I dated told me it smelled like something died in there. Which is sort of true, since it is dead skin cells getting trapped around food particles. I haven’t dated in 5 years.

Nope, but that’s probably why the movie tanked. I have little ones so I’m watching DVDs (and previews) that are a few years old.

Ageism is pervasive in this industry. It’s not a level playing field. You don’t often see women in their 60s playing romantic leads, yet you will see men in their 60s playing romantic leads with costars who are decades younger.

I tried to make sure I sprayed all the way around my legs and the tops of my feet, but I did not rub it in. Next time I’m going to start with lotion before leaving the house and reapply with the spray.

Oh man, I really needed a tent yesterday. When I was a child, my face twice burned so badly that I blistered. So I’m usually pretty careful about sunscreen when I know I’m going to be outside.

OMG, middle school? Little Doo is 9, I’m so not ready for that.

Yes, I understand too. The first of my friends from elementary school became a grandmother a few weeks ago, and my mother had two grandchildren when she was my age (my mother had me at 19, and my younger brother had his children in his early 20s). It also doesn’t help that I gave up on contacts a decade ago and I wear…

I had mine at 35 and 42. At least I was financially secure (but not Mindy Kaling level financially secure) when I had my kids.

We had very similar teenage reading lists, even though I think I’m quite a bit older than you are (45). I raided my mom’s and stepmom’s bookshelves. The first romance novel I remember reading is Shanna, and it’s still one of my favorites. I loved your tribute to Kathleen Woodiwiss a few months ago. I also remember…

Any tips for single moms finding time to exercise? I have a 3 year old and a 9 year old. I was taking Pilates classes before the 3 yo was born, and I really liked the classes, but spending $15 for the class + $20 for a sitter for each class got to be too expensive. I know it will take some time for the kids to adjust…

Target carries the Nate Berkus line. I’ve had some for a few years, and they’ve held up well. I’ve even purchased their house brand, Room Essentials, and those have held up well too. I had one snag and I had to sew up the end of one towel. I think I’ve seen the Nate Berkus towels on sale for $8 for the bath towel. The…

I agree with Dan Savage on this one. You want to be a hateful asshole? Fine, but post who you will and will not serve on your front window or website. Don’t embarrass couples in the privacy of your store - let them know ahead of time that you won’t take their money, and the rest of us can boycott your hateful ass if…

Yes!! I came here to say the same thing. I’ve listened to the song twice now. I agree that the song is catchy, but that line sticks in my craw. It had to be written by a man (Ed Sheeran). I’m an Old, but even when I was young there’s no way I’d have sex on a couch in someone else’s living room. Sounds like a total guy…

I pick the buttered popcorn jelly beans out and throw them away. They literally make me nauseous.

No, because they’ve already started to automate those jobs too. Self-checkout, pay by app, and computers to take your order and accept payment are already here. My company even outsourced the accounting department to the Philippines.

I agree. We women go through childbirth, and eventually we become infertile as we age. If they’re really done, men need to get vasectomies because they’re fertile even into old age.

It’s like anything else, I’m sure - use as directed! 100% effective when used as directed (which would include monthly inspection and replacement as directed).

I had two kids when I had my tubal ligation, so I knew I was done. Plus I was old. I half felt like it didn’t need to be done since I was 42 and not in a relationship. Mother Nature will most likely take care of my fertility at some point within the next 6 years anyway. I haven’t had any issues from the tubal…

I hate to say it, because I’ve read comments on here that there are lots of women who love their IUDs, but I know two women who got pregnant despite having an IUD. One had had it for a while (maybe it was due for replacement?) and with the other it slipped out of place. I never looked into IUDs when I needed birth…

Thanks for the tip, I’m going to try these. The only thing I’ve found so far that seems to cover my entire booty is the Jockey comfort stretch.
