A quick "hey, your aunt can see this!" comment usually works for me and is lighthearted enough that there aren't lasting hurt feelings.

I think it sounds great. Unconventional, but great. Especially if you fully host it (i.e., pay for liquor too) and emphasize no gifts.

When putting on your PJs isn't enough.

If OCR is shutting down their investigations, they're shutting down their investigations. All of them. It's unnecessarily alarmist (and not logically related) to say that "campus safety is 'nonessential'." OCR would keep running if it could but keep in mind that Dept. of Ed. investigations are not the same thing as…

So, what's the additional context that we don't know? In my book, an *eyeroll* directed at someone when they criticize you - real or online - is rude and not a productive way to have any kind of conversation. If this is the way you interact with people who don't respond exactly as you'd like, I'm not surprised that…

Welcome to the internet. You came here with your bratty story because you thought you would get validation from everyone. And now you're mad because people aren't backing you up. You don't get to complain on an open thread and then tell people to butt out. If you think it's private, then keep it to yourself.

Man, you're rude. I wouldn't be your friend either.

Yeah, I'm sure she can't read anything in your behavior, body language, or comments about her when you think she can't hear you.

If you want real talk, have you considered that maybe she doesn't want to be friends with you because she can tell that you're judging her?

It does matter, that's why I posted it. For this actual person, it's not been the great experience that this article suggests.

It's not all it's cracked up to be.

If you know the basic phonetics, Hawaiian is very easy to decode. In English, a typical syllable forms with a consonant phoneme, a vowel phoneme, and then a consonant phoneme. In Hawaiian, the syllables break after each vowel phoneme and there are far fewer phonemes altogether.

I have to say that I don't have a strong negative reaction to this. Instead of forbidding his daughter to wear little cutoff shorts, he tried to give her another perspective ("when I see my dad wearing them, I realize just how revealing they are"). Maybe it changed her mind and maybe it didn't. But I actually think…

Daaaaaang, Nicki Minaj.

Spoken like someone who's only looking for one thing in a date. It's cool, I don't want to date the guy who is only after that anyway.

Hahahahahahahaha!

I love Chris Megia at M Squared. I don't know if she does this but maybe if you call she can suggest someone who does? I know that she teaches and does shows so she knows a ton of people!

Vivian Gussin Paley wrote a book called "White Teacher" which is a little dated but the first book I ever read that specifically addressed this question during my teacher training. It might be a good starting place - especially since she's focused on very young children and writes from your perspective.

I do agree that your doctor made a lot of mistakes and didn't approach you well about his concerns but as someone with doctors in my family, I want to believe that he's just trying to do his job well. In general (not speaking to you personally), obesity is a big medical issue that often goes un-discussed by doctors…

Like everyone else, I agree that you cannot live his life for him but you do need to draw your own boundaries (i.e, you don't want him high when you're together or whatever it is). Either he's willing to accommodate you or he's not. And if he's not, there's nothing you can do about that. I don't like ultimatums but…
