I'd be okay if they had it behind a trifold wall. At an auction house a number of years ago, there was a huge color photo of Jeff Koons naked with his first wife, and you had to go around 3 corners to see it, with a warning on the wall of what was behind it, and they did a fold out in the catalogue, too.

I wasn't. But I've only ever gone through one once, in Amsterdam. And I have a steel rod fused to my spine, so I always carry a doctor's note, even though it doesn't set off the metal detector, because I worry someone will accuse me of smuggling a bomb on my spine.

I appreciate June's (the mom) sensible attitude towards everything she and her family encounter which is: "It is what it is." Baby grandchild has 3 thumbs? It is what it is. That just makes her more special to them.

Yep, all from small towns in Ohio. So apparently if you're looking to go on a crime spree...go there!

I went to college in the Midwest 20 years ago. People were SUPER lax about doors. I was known as "that mean girl that yells at us". Damn right I yelled at them.

Yeah, I was wondering where the kid was the rest of the time. If the father has full time custody, I can see why she's in the dorm. But if she has retained custody and her parents have him, she should be living there, too.

I graduated 13 years ago with my MA in Art History (just finished paying off my student loans last year!). I spent the last 13 years in auction houses, and just got a permanent collection job last year, which has been my life goal. It did give me great experience, but I was prejudiced against by a lot of museums…

Me too! After my junior year in college I got my first internship, but didn't get a paid one (this company had both kinds). So I had to get a job that summer to pay the bus and subway fares into the city, and wasn't able to work at the internship 5 days a week. They were very understanding about that. Of course,…

I can't handle a lot of spice (more than mild salsa), and I don't care for capers and olives. And I don't like peppery, bitter greens.

The only bad thing about my new job is I can't wear jeans at my new company. At all.

Many wines are too dry or bitter for me, is that what being a supertaster means? I only drink very sweet wines, they are the only ones I like.

Well I live in an apartment without central air, so by habit I tend to refrigerate everything all year round that would melt or go moldy in the summer, especially my chocolate and bread. I'm sure she has central air, but that's one reason I can think of.

Maximize my savings and stop frivolous spending to get me to my goal of home ownership!

You can do it! I'm maintaining a 70 lb. weight loss. It did take me 2 years because I took a 6 month break when I got lazy (kept eating healthy, but just stopped exercising and 10 lbs. came back), but honestly it's better to be slow and steady, you have more chance of success.

I used to drink soda every day and got down to one can a week by gradually cutting down. I don't know your habits obviously (one can a day? multiples?) but cutting it down bit by bit is still better than drinking as you normally do, and may be less likely to cause relapse. Just a tip from someone who's been there!

I took a class in financial planning for women, taught by a woman who works for Morgan Stanley. She only teaches women, because she said men won't listen to her. They would come to class and challenge everything she said with, "Well I read in the NYT blah blah..." Basically, she said by the time you as an average…

Congrats on your marriage! Your dress was beautiful.

A town by me that has quite a large Korean population dedicated a monument to the women in a local park. And some asshole Japanese politicians and diplomats tried to get the town government to take it down! They tried to bribe them with funds for youth programs and various donations. Luckily the town stood firm.

In my experience, if an adult has to be told not to put any of their body parts in other people's space, they don't respond to politeness. It completely goes over their heads because they only think about themselves. And yep, I kick men all the time who try to pull that stuff on me. I've never had a confrontation…

I was once seated next to the worst behaved woman ever (it was a flight the day after the Japanese earthquake/tsunami of 2011 and her TV wasn't working and she went on a dramatic rampage about "how could she be expected to suffer so?" Like, get some freaking perspective lady!) she also screamed at the people behind…
