I'm so glad to hear that you were receptive to listening about and acknowledging your behavior — and ultimately changing it. To me, it doesn't sound like you were a full-blown alcoholic during this time of your life. They have zero remorse or concern for being a burden to others, and do NOT want to hear about their…

Do you think it's because North County tends to be a little more conservative? I have noticed that there has been a lot of talk about it in North/South Park (the hipster neighborhoods) when I go out there, but not so much in other parts of the city.

Most of the council wants him to resign, so I doubt it will pass. At least I hope to hell it doesn't!

I'd take La Jolla over El Cajon or Santee any day. Those places can go.

It is! Works on so many skin tones. I haven't worn lipstick in forever (used love to wearing it). This video inspired me to start wearing it again.

That fact that an article advises women to stop talking to their fat friends breaks my heart.

My mistake!

The local ABC affiliate lost sound during the press conference. They also misspelled "Twitter" in the news ticker during the broadcast. It said "Follow us on Titter."

The San Diego City Charter makes it VERY hard to recall/fire the mayor.

Here's the latest update, and the fail of a press conference that just happened at noon today:

Not at all, I appreciate your insights. Hope I didn't come off as a jerk.

I never imagined Minnesota has such a diverse population!

I haven't been to the Bay Area in a long time, but I imagine it must be different there, just because of the diversity. I also have never had any problems in LA or Orange County (oddly).

No, I'm half Korean and look racially ambiguous. Depending on a variety of factors, from how I wear my hair to how tanned I am (I can get really dark), I have been mistaken for being Native American, Hawaiian, even part Samoan and Filipino. Once in while, I will still come across a white person who sees my eyes and…

I will admit, for about ten years, I refused to date white men after I had some bad experiences with Creepy White Men my first few years in Seattle (half-Asian here). It was shocking to me how different white men on the mainland were from the white men in Hawaii — white people are a minority there, so they have a very…

When I was fit, I'd get buzzed very quickly (after just one or two drinks) but it wouldn't last long — I think my higher metabolism burned off the alcohol. When I am not in shape (like now) and lose muscle mass, I seem to able to drink a lot, but it creeps on me. The drunkeness will suddenly hit me like a karate chop…

Reading your post makes me miss my old life.

I know I'm probably about to open a Pandora's box here, but can someone please tell me where the hell the stereotype of Asians being bad drivers came from?

I've heard the same thing when moving to Southern California. I've discovered there are quite a few Spanish words, used in slang, for a black person that are so incredibly offensive.
