nothing to see here, never mind, have a nice day

UGH. This is like the opposite, but just as awful, way the media treated the female friend of Trayvon Martin at the trial, she was on the phone with him when he got murdered.

well-spoken = they talk like a white person!

C.A. I generally love you, and I also see that your essay is a little dramatic, but:

On my wedding, I paid for a stylist to do my hair and makeup and also my sisters and my mom. She did my mom first and I thought she looked lovely lovely. Mom went back to her hotel room while the rest of us got ready then a couple hours later when we all gather back again for pictures, my mom's hair and makeup are…

I honestly think it's such a silly tradition? No one is going to mistake you for the bride. You'd have to work hard to upstage the star of the show, she's usually in the big floofy dress and the veil and the center of attention.

Ah, thanks. I am vanilla and don't smoke so I had no idea.

officers searched the car and found 3 grams of marijuana and a grinder.

No way would they name a daughter Diana. There's way too much baggage. Maaaybe if it was one of the middle names, but not likely. Maybe Frances, since it's Diana's middle name.

I was honestly so dismayed to learn yesterday that Ted Cruz has two young daughters. Oh, girls, may you grow up rebellious and free-thinking and one day realize how toxic your father's politics are. Crossing fingers. Don't end up like the Palins.

You don't understand what anorexia is. There is so much more to it than "being skinny". It's also not a choice, it's a mental illness. Educate yourself.

Dude, you just praised a woman's looks who was in the throes of a disease that caused her to exercise 4 hours a day and eat under 800 calories. She was deeply unhappy and SICK to the point of being near death. That's attractive? Are you completely clueless?

You know, I consider myself pretty internet savvy, and have been online since the early AOL days. I don't know what that says about me or my internet habits that this is literally the first time I've even heard of the Chive at all. This is fascinating. Not that it sounds like a site that I'd enjoy, or that my circle…

Oh, she totally knows more than she lets on. Which is why he married her so quickly and gave her power of attorney. She's set for life in exchange.

Probably it was sent by his current wife. They have an "arrangement". He gave her power of attorney over his finances. I don't know, is it illegal for a wife to send her husband money?

I'm such an idiot that the headline confused me and I stared at that picture for the longest time thinking it was some sort of slow-motion animated gif, waiting for her to slowly powder her face.

Have you been to the Eden Center (or sometimes I hear it called Little Vietnam) at Seven Corners? The entire shopping center that is nothing but Vietnamese shops and restaurants? I ate one of the best meals of my life there and I can't for the life of me remember the name of the place, it was just this huge space with…

Yep. And don't forget Bob & Edith's. The original location. Good times.

I KNOW, right? I was afraid that something would happen to it after 9/11, but it kept on keeping on and it's still there and enormous as always. That place and the teeny little kabob place around the corner from the 7-11 in Crystal City (where the taxi drivers hang out) were required stops for me on the regular. The…

I used to live on Columbia Pike up in that area, boy do I miss the many amazing food options in Arlington. My favorite will always be, though, that Afghan restaurant on Rte. 1 near Potomac Yards, where your little $6.95 container of kabob takeout came with a piece of still-warm bread the size of a skateboard. May that…
