Only those loans on an income-based repayment plan are eligible at all.

I think you must be messing with me, but this is so upsetting!

We've all been there. I respect your willingness to acknowledge the mistake and try to fix it.

You're totally allowed to have an opinion. What you don't need to do is announce it everywhere you go. Are you not embarrassed to just stroll into this metaphorical room and boast about your ignorance without taking some time to try to figure the conversation first?

Just buy more sheets, people. You can own more than one set and then you can change the sheets without having to wash them the same day. It's like magic.

This is repulsive. YOU ARE ALL REVOLTING.

If he's still drinking, it's not getting any better. And he's not going to stop until he decides to. I was in your situation about seven years ago and one morning I told him that from now on, when he started drinking I was going to bed. It wasn't gonna be a fight or something we had to talk about after - just that…

I'm a woman and I don't even like it when someone calls my bag a purse. Aside from all of the gendered weirdness, it's an ugly word and we just need to get rid of it.

I was scrolling down to see if anyone had mentioned this yet. These regulations unambiguously do not apply to nonprofits. They are only for for-profit corporations.

My office (at home). I use a MacBook Air with an iPad as my second screen (when I need to refer to something but would rather not print it out).

Right. Regardless of the lean in/opt out stance of any of these articles, the narrative is always that these dummies totally fucked it up and anyone else could have seen this coming a mile away. Individual women are always the bad actors in every story, the ones who made the mistake.

What frustrates me most is that every one of these articles finds a way to hold individual women personally responsible for the absurd cultural dynamics in which we try to function. And it's becoming clear that no matter what you do, someone will tell you that you were wrong - and probably make you believe it.

I read an interview with Chris somewhere this morning where he said he didn't watch the episode where Brooks left. So as long as he can resist, he can just take her word for it that she wasn't totally in love with someone else. Easy!

Yes, jails are typically run by counties where prisons are run by the state or federal government. The difference is mostly jurisdictional (which entity prosecuted your crime) and one almost never sees a prison for a sentence that's less than two years. The precise rules for this vary by state - but jail isn't just…

Because their moms didn't leave notes like this. 10 years from now, some poor girl will suffer a little less because of this mother.

I can't speak for other parents but I confess that I was astonished by the frank conversations I've had with my kids - and those talks were usually easier when we all kept a sense of humor about it.

You think they'd be embarrassed. BUT THEY'RE NOT!

Unless you've shared a bathroom with teenaged boys, you can't judge this woman. (I have two, I know her pain.)

I think that the first question is an honest one and the response is not very helpful. What can you do, white lady who has just white friends but doesn't like that and doesn't like what that means? You can't make people be friends with you and it is weird (as you acknowledge) to seek out friends because of their…
