While I LOVE the dress and the whole look, I just can't get past the hair.
Mullets will never be ok in my world, no matter how new or hip of a spin you put on them. But that might have to do with my age.
You have no idea how happy I am to hear that I am not the only person who is still in love with Alan Alda.
Excuse me now, but I think I'm going to go bust out a bottle of wine and my old M*A*S*H DVDs and have a nice night to myself.
I don't know… I guess I'm of the school of thought that says, if you're responsible enough to plan it and wait until you're 'ready' you will end up realizing that you'll never be ready and there will always be an excuse not to do it. I find myself wishing I'd have done it in my early 20s when I was a huge slacker and…
Hah, yep. I only started taking my keys out of my vehicle when command start became a thing. Also, before the days of clicker remotes, locking your car door in Canada was a good way to get yourself locked out when the keyhole froze solid. :)
I'm Canadian and I live in a major city (not Toronto, but still, one of the big 10), and I never lock my doors when I'm home. I have friends that don't either, and friends that do. As a general rule, most women I know (with the exception of myself and a few friends) will lock their doors when they're home alone, but…
Fellow Canadian in a major centre - door is never locked when I'm home (and rarely when I'm gone either, unless I'm leaving for a really long time).
When I was 17, I dressed up in a suit for one of those job shadowing programs in high school. I ended up staying at my aunt's house that night as she lived downtown, and then took the bus home early the next morning to my place, which was in a not great area. Walking home from the bus stop I was stopped 3 times by…
I know this is an ignorant question, but I absolutely refuse to watch this show. If she's an interior designer, how is she a housewife? I thought the show was about women who are fabulously wealthy homemakers?
This was the best line in the whole thing.
Ok, let me break down your post for you, because I was so confused that I had to break it down for myself in an attempt to understand its purpose:
Ok, this just really hit home for me. My step-sister was a bit on the heavier side when she was a child, in complete contrast to my other step-sister (her biological sister). I remember seeing first hand how her mother (who I didn't live with or see outside of when she dropped them off, so that will tell you how…
I understand it, all I was getting at was that I've never witnessed it. I'm aware that it happens. I guess what I was trying to express was my surprise over how seemingly often it happens in high end stores like this.
I suppose that's why I've never seen a black person frisked either? Because my white-ness also gives me the power to not see things that are right in front of me too! What luck. Also, resorting to insults is really mature. If you can't have an intelligent debate, go back to Reddit you troll.
I took a course in Womens Studies, which included some discussion about racism and the things that are inappropriate, and even I had never heard about blackface or that it was racist until I read it on this site. It's not common knowledge - at least not where I grew up. I could probably take a survey of university…
I NEVER said racism doesn't happen up here. I would be the last person to ever say this. I would perhaps argue that the discrimination against black people isn't as strong as it is in the U.S, but the way our society treats aboriginal groups more than makes up for it.
All I was getting at was that maybe we don't…
Ah I see. The article I clicked on didn't mention that. Now I get the outrage.
Hmm, well that's really shitty. Sorry, I wasn't following the story and I just clicked on a link - must have missed that part.
So if it's the NYPD doing the frisking, why are Barney's and Macy's getting the flack?
Oh I'm sure they do, I guess I just haven't seen it. Perks of being in a smaller country where things by a matter of statistics happen less frequently. Honest question though (and please excuse my ignorance), how does one get profiled for being autistic? I didn't think there were any overtly obvious outward…
