PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GODDESS MAKE THIS AWFUL SHEER MONSTROSITY TREND STOP FOREVER!!!!!! Every season I'm like "Still going???? STILL????" It's so tacky and a total cop-out. Why design and construct an actually interesting well made dress when you can distract with those weird dress-panties that everyone has to wear…

This isn't Northbound Smokehouse by some chance is it? Just out of curiosity. Seems like the type of concern that would arise in MN.

THANK YOU!! It's been below zero here in MN for days on end and my eyelids needed a fairy godmother like you!!

This annoys me — I've read in more than one place that you aren't supposed to put eye cream on your eyelid at all, including brow bone, as it'll get in your eye, but the one place I get patchy skin in the winter is my damn eyelids! Maybe I can use an oil or something on them? Is there something non-eye irritating…

That's true. I use it in the morning to wake myself the hell up, and then I use Lancome High Resolution Eye at night! So far so good though I can't say I've noticed any major changes. I have very very fine lines and I don't think they've changed, but my eye area is very moisturized and crinkle-free!

I've been wanting to try the triple oxygen stuff too. The lady who used to do my facials used an oxygen mask and it felt so incredible, like my face was breathing!

Right, they're not an ideal investment vehicle, that's for sure. But if they specifically want something where they could take a lump distribution from the lottery and then lock it down so that they can't get at it except for a monthly payout...that would be an option, for that specific purpose. I know I wouldn't do…

Aww :) Well I live to serve!

Haha. I feel you. Though (assuming we are close in age) with the economy the way it's been, we haven't had much time/earnings to accumulate anything worth investing. I only know this stuff cause I've always worked in financial services. All my friends are artists and stuff and they think I'm a guru hahaha.

It's a financial product where the funds get invested in a stable, dividend paying bonds, then, depending on your age, they use life-insurance type calculations to figure out how much you should get from the lump investment per month to make it last for the rest of your life. The transferable part means when you die,…

Well you could take the lump sum and THEN invest it in a transferable annuity. Then you get both! Plus some gains!

I usually have to go with something intended for the public/non-academic audience in order to plow through. I keep finding all these things that would be so cool to write about and aren't already covered in English. If I just got into a history PhD program and got full funding hahahaha.

This is me too. Pale skin with big dark circles, translucent eyelashes and eyebrows, and super high hairline. So yeah with a hat and no makeup I absolutely look like I'm undergoing chemo.

Wow, that is so fascinating! I've wondered what life was like in post-war Germany and how it played out in subsequent generations many times — do you know of any especially good books on the subject? I'd love to read up more.

There's enough real tragedy in this world without having to strain yourself manufacturing more. Have a bummer night dude.

No idea what this has to do with my post. Reply to the author maybe?

Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream is another Vaseline-like substance, but supposedly has some bonus properties.

This world would be a much different place if the only people who became educated on the various genocides and acts of terror in Western history didn't have to come by that knowledge of their own volition. Imagine how much more compassion we would be able to share with one another if facing our own history…

someone already said this above, but 15% of ALL gun violence involves female victims. But when it's a group of people being murdered, 51% are women. So the scenario is a shooter assaulting a family unit in mass shooting cases.

I've been reading this endless book on Nixon and Reagan and the political culture at the time, and they touch on early abortion politics here and there in discussing the modern Conservative movement at large. One of the things that really struck me was that the OG Roe v. Wade feminists used the term "compulsory…
