I'm going to echo a couple other posters and their suggestion for the Revlon Colorburst balms. I think your niece will like them because the crayon shape is fun, there is nothing that can spill or leak into a back pack, and they are super simple to apply. They come in stain, matte and lacquer (shiny/glossy) formulas.…

Thank you and I am so in agreement with you, especially about the lunch thing! I'm a vegetarian and I always get nervous that other people will think I'm being "difficult" for ordering my food differently at a restaurant. In fact, my boss offered to take our department out to lunch on my first day and I was scared…

I have to say that I feel like in this situation so much depends on factors that no one on the outside could possibly know or completely understand, however...I feel totally comfortable recommending counseling to anyone in this situation. Couples counseling, or even individual counseling if your husband isn't open to…

90% of the guys that hit on me and the guys that I am attracted to are younger than me. I used to be really annoyed by it, but what can you do? So last year (when I was 27) I dated a 21 year old. I mean...it didn't work out for all the reasons you would think (he was actually pretty immature) but it was fun for a bit!…

Oh yeah that is good advice, I will definitely keep my listening ears on for the time being and see who is trustworthy who is not before opening up. And yes, asking questions seems to be the unanimous advice given, so I will definitely ask for clarification during my training next week. Thank you for the great advice!

Thank you this is great advice, I will definitely try to get a feel for what type of employee my boss is looking for! I have already volunteered to attend a committee meeting next week so I am on top of your "volunteer/be helpful" advice :)

First of all: I am so sorry you are dealing with this. Second: full disclosure, I have never had to deal with this in my own relationships, however I have many friends that have either cheated, or have been cheated on. For the majority of those relationships they have stayed with their partner. I think it depends on a…

Oh yeah I didn't mean to imply that tall people can't be mistaken for younger than their age at all! I just think that that is what is going on in my case, I'm 28 and get carded constantly, to the point where sometimes they don't believe me and think I am using a fake ID. I think this is because my hair color is…

Oh I love this advice, you are so right: nice but not too personal. I agree that it will be best for me to get a feel of everyone before letting them get to know too much about me. Thank you!

Thanks this is really great advice! You're right that you should always be kind to everyone no matter their job title, not just because of how it can serve you but also because everyone is person and should be treated that way :)

It is definitely a short thing! I am 5'2" and people always assume I am younger than I am too. Honestly it probably doesn't help matters that I always wear peter pan collars and cat sweaters though :)

Thank you, and that's all good advice especially getting a feel for the interoffice politics!

Good advice, I'll remember to keep an eye out for any signs of sketchiness

Thank you!!

I just started a new job on Thursday, it is basically my dream job and I don't want to screw it up. Everyone give me their best advice when starting a new job please!

Yup! That's my basic problem with any idea of eternity...I think I would get bored

I'm totally following Grandma Betty now. This made me sad because it makes me miss my own grandma (she lived with my family and we took care of her until she died due to Alzheimer's) but it also makes me really happy too, I love to see social media being used in such a positive way.

I remember! It was disgusting and so naturally I loved it! That container was a bitch though, it was so hard to get all the powder out towards the end

I completely blocked out the mouth cuts until reading this comment. Oh childhood!
