One of mine was pretty bad and one of mine was painful but NBD, really. Either way though, I was glad he was there and also to have someone drive me home and bring me ice cream afterwards.

Even though mine weren't too bad, it was something I wanted support for and that I was doing to benefit both of us. So, that's why it would have been bad news if he'd refused to come.

Those are the best ideas. I love labeling.

Agreed, but also role reversal: If I'm asking to stay at your house and we're in our 30s, you probably know I'm not asking for a blanket to sleep on the hardwood floor. You want to sleep on the blanket on a hardwood floor? Last time that worked for me, I was 12. If you don't have the space, tell me.

YES! This!! I hate it when someone uses my dish sponge to wipe the counters or worse! (but it's happened) the floor. I wash the things I eat off with that. And now, I'm throwing it away and re-doing the dishes. But then, I also really appreciate the gesture and don't feel like I can say anything. Maybe jump in and…

I agree, I've seen the aggressive meat eaters way more than I've seen the aggressive vegans, and most of my friends are vegan/vegetarian/sympathetic. I wonder though, if it's just that there's WAY more meat eaters?

Ok, I haven't read this whole thing, so maybe I should before I post (i know, i know...) but non-vegan shaming is seriously one of my pet peeves. I'm a vegetarian and have been for years and of the ethical persuasion wherein I see why it is morally better for me to be a vegan. However, this type of thing drives me…

I'm calling it: cereal with water is the biggest deal breaker there

Gah, it's probably just my preferences, but I find Jake Johnson's yell acting obnoxious.

As promised, I did not regret it. And also, now my 2 week headache is cured.

I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS POST!

yeah, I noticed that too. poop.

Ugh, so I guess it's better to be celebrating "curvy" bodies than ridiculing them, but all of those ladies are still relatively thin and fit. It's still inviting criticism, still putting a limit on what it's ok to look like. Gah!

I always did my car maintenance/repair at my parents', with help from my dad. But now they live far away and I don't have the space/tools to do it myself. Fortunately, having the background and general idea of what things should cost does seem to at least make them take me more seriously.

Yeah, originally I thought this story was at DIA, but I guess it was just a stock airport pic

Aww, that sucks. Fortunately, though I fly out Denver pretty frequently, I don't have too much to complain about. Except the creepy horse. But that goes without saying.

returned!

Denver, holla!

Similar thing, but to a lesser extent: One of my (formerly?) close friends recently told me that she thought that it's ok to make judgments (out loud) about peoples' bodies, food choices, activities in general. It came up because she'd been doing it to me and to other people around me and I told her I found it…

Gah! ME TOO. I am totes crying with a bottle of wine over my frustrations about it. I have a great resume, good references, a wide range of skills and a willingness to do work that's not... my favorite. I don't get it. I hate it. My partner's there too and it's pretty rough on us.
