Thanks for that stellar piece of advice. If you noticed I used the past tense when speaking of the Olive Garden. I didn't like the job so yes, I stopped working there. But not all people are lucky enough to be able to quit a job that they don't like, so I'm informing people on how much extra work the server does, that…

Yeaaa... when I worked at the Olive Garden I dreaded the people who would come in only for the soup and salad, and demand a constant supply. The server does ALL the prep for soup and Salad and that shit is not easy! I discourage this behavior, unless you are planning on tipping generously, but still... It's awful.

It is certianly a shitty thing to do. But imagine what horrible circumstances must drive a person to be desperate enough to commit an act like this. In their opinion these people are dead and cannot use this stuff anymore. If they don't take it, then it will fall into the hands of people, who will also misuse it, but…

well first I thought I was reading an old news report... Then I moved on to shock and horror.

Chrissy teigan is amazing. She's is incredibly down to earth, personable, and has this great sense of humor about herself. Her and I need to be friends!

seriously! I don't get all this princess mess. I went to buy my niece a birthday gift and was hard pressed to find non-princess stuff. A friend I was shopping with kept oooohhhing and ahhhhing at the princess stuff, and was all "get her this" and I snobbishly replied "no my sister and her husband are INTELLECTUALS…

I asked my dad for grocery money in college once because I was literally broke and starving, asked him to deposit it into my checking account so I could ya know, eat relatively soon. He mailed me a check for $10, post dated 2 days later. But I think I turned out ok.

;)

my mom asks me for money and she's 50, I'm 27, so ummmm... Don't worry, that's just how life goes sometimes.

I don't think he needs to know about your abuse, quite yet. It's only a 2nd date, he's not your therapis, he's a love interest so treat him as such. I'm all for being open, but that sort of subject leaves things one sided. Think of him as well, and how this sort of revaluation would make him feel. Leave this sort of…

consolation *

I hate to spoil the end for you, but it's all going to be ok. And if it's any consolation I'm going through an almost exact situation, and 2 months later... I feel great! Things will get better! You can hold me to that statement!

I had two roomates who felt entitled because they lived in the house we shared longer than I did. Once we moved they took all of my kitchen supplies, and... My SPICES! I had a really impressive spice collection that I had to start all over again. Hell.

That man cannot be only 22.

Props to these threads! This shit is better than therapy!

Go out! I've done it before and I enjoyed myself. You will probably end up meeting a few people. And if you don't, that's fine as well. Get lost in the music and have a great time, life is short!

Sorry to hear that! Take advantage and go take a nice long bath or something.

last time I traveled abroad I ditched my phone and bought a pre-paid one. I used my phone for pictures, but my little disposable phone was a lifesaver, and when I left I just gave it to a local.

happy birthday!!!

I'm recently single (1 month) and also recently moved back to where my family lives (1 week). Ever since I got here my cousin has been making snide remarks about how pathetic it is to be 27 and single. She is 23, and single as well, but my singleness seems to really offend her. I personally am not interested in dating…
