I believe you want to keep in our of direct sunlight and not in a bag if you're able (My mom stored mine in an empty closet at her house). She may have even left it in the DB plastic bag, and it was okay, but I wouldn't advise that. It only hung out for about 5 months so not as long as you've got.

I went to see Carol Burnett a few years ago. It was awesome, but there was a question and answer portion and I guess everyone has creepy fans, but you don't usually have to watch them interact with the subject of their creepiness. Lots of people requesting to come on stage and hug her. One person who got married on…

I'm far more offended by destination bachelor/bachelorettes than travelling a bit for the wedding itself. I'll drive a bit for a wedding, I love hotels and get a Fed discount so while it's still pricey, it's usually one night, maybe 2.

I'm not at that job anymore, luckily. It was also a woman who did it! I actually did try and file a discrimination complaint against a boss there. He made comments to me about other girls working there (their bodies) and always told me I needed to print things for him and take notes for him (I was not a secretary) and…

Only a little! My fave is that the female is actually the one that's my friend...but far more likely the dudes are the ones with the true story.

You asked:

I was pulled aside at work one time and told I needed to "be careful" because it made the older men "uncomfortable." I said that I do my best and I did adjust my shirts everytime I was in the restroom to try and NOT be inappropriate. But boobs are boobs. Big boobs cannot be hidden so easily. A shirt that covers…

I believe men are more likely to use more violent/lethal methods (guns, trains, etc) than women (pills, cutting wrists) so women survive attempts more often.

Me too (15 year ago) and it was a pretty common occurence among the girls, at least, to "attempt suicide." This usually was a scratch on their wrist or taking 5 Tylenol...etc. For them it was often a half-hearted cry for help. I only remember 1 student killing himself while I was in high school, but I was subbing back…

I can! I just feel like she won't really take me too seriously unless I've been trying for a more realistic period of time, as my only symptom is really the weight gain /inability to lose, I think. My understanding is there isn't a good way to diagnose it, it's more by elimination - like she can't just run bloodwork…

I think Raleigh or Charlotte are where I'd aim for! I have a couple things I want to get in place before I seriously look but I daydream about it on the train all the time!

Ha! I have friends in Boulder. I feel like I'd have to learn to ride a bike though, and I have to draw the line somewhere! I really love North Carolina. That's where I'd want to go. Hate the politics, love it otherwise. Plus still close-ish to our familes!

We are TTC. I have been off BC since late January. No luck yet. I feel broken, which I KNOW is irrational. I am taking ovulation tests and they're always negative. I mentioned a few weeks ago I suspect I may have undiagnosed PCOS as I have some symptoms, mostly uncontrollable weight gain. I'm terrified this is never…

Just out of curiosity, I have a few friends that want to drink less/not drink. I never know if I should invite them if we go out for drinks. Am I making it harder for them? I feel like a jerk if I don't include them, though I don't care if they do or don't drink, but I feel like maybe it is insensitive TO invite them.…

Very true! But it's still a hard thing to think about - just cognitively, LESS MONEY? Seems crazy.

Ha! No, I left Fredericksburg to move up here. I'm in Fairfax County now (which I love!) but commute to DC. It's easy enough - drive to train station, sit on train, metro to office - but it is exhausting and takes forever.

I really want to quit my life. Not in a suicidal way, I'm just exhausted. I'm in the DC area and I somehow ended up in this high paying govt job. I certainly earned the position I am in, but I am not ambitious. I would be perfectly happy with continuing paychecks and very little responsibility. I commute 90 minutes…

Damnit I always forget that it's Kristina that isn't a Braverman, not Joel. And we know how good Sally Field is at playing a selfish crazy bitch from ER. I should start one of those White House petitions.

YOU ARE GODDAMN RIGHT I AM.

I want to have a slumber party with everyone in this thread and marathon watch this show, drink wine, and DISCUSS.
