I try not to jump on anything. I have very little in the world to be truly angry about. And its not any type of productive to air out my grievances at a party who more or less is friendly to my plight. Like you or Paco.

Right. Full disclosure— I'm a relatively attractive, thin woman who enjoys miniskirts. So its not like I *don't* get compliments on my appearance daily. Compliments when I don't wear makeup, hotting and hollering and crassness when I do. There's a difference.

Frankly, my dear. I don't buy it, and I don't think you should give in to them that easily.

Oh yes. I have my hair shoulder length now, because at this length its still long enough to put up but short enough that I don't end up chewing my hair when its humid out. I have Asian hair. But not that stereotypical Asian hair. The kind that is super thick, falls out in clumps if I don't braid it at night and wavy.…

What a reasonable and agreeable response. For that, you get starred.

I go through the ugly duckling thing once a week. I refuse to wear makeup to work or comb my hair most days (its a bird's nest, why bother breaking another comb?) but on the weekly occasion I have an important meeting or an event I have to attend, I wear form-fitted clothing and some eyeliner (still, I will not comb…

Ah crap, I use the gel kind which doesn't have a new formula. But I do know my backup moisturizer (bliss fabulous face lotion) doesn't use it. So I may have to start using it full time.

I love that stuff too. How do I know if I have a recent reformulated bottle? Is it that plus thing?

My mom is simultaneously a cancer researcher and someone who has had a lump removed and has somehow gone unbenefitted from the sales of all these pink things.

I broke down and cried in a ball last night. Held a few things and tried to pull myself back together, but it didn't seem constructive. What do we do? What CAN we do?

I'd like to lead a charge to stop labeling "weight loss" as "health" tips. Please? I clicked through hoping for some type of information relevant to my needs (IE getting healthier) but instead found a bunch of hoo haa surrounding weight loss.

Lauren Conrad has a book club! Which...included her own book. Of course.

Par for the course with Balfour. I hope the postseason announcers do that thing again where, for the first time since I can remember, they didn't cut away to commercial when there was a pitching change. Instead we got to see the entire stadium Balfour rage.

I do consider mortgage as debt. It shows up on your credit report as debt. It ruins your credit if you are not paying it on time and it is a sum of money you are slowly paying back towards an institution.

I didn't mean to lambast Kentucky, which is quite nice when I last visited. I think I meant it more of a poke at the writer, who is most likely in NYC, where his rents are just as high as mine in another major city.

um, that could totally be a disclaimer to start this post, dude.

True story: I had an apartment once that was deemed unsafe by the fire department. We subsequently were kicked out. $1745 a month. YAY BROOKLYN!

Yep. Hence my knee-jerk reaction that these people are delusional.

Having done that, and having much less debt than your average human, living in a city simply means everything is more expensive. Down to the insurance for my car. And gas money. And food money. I've even renogotiated my interest rates. It's difficult enough to save, but having someone tell you to invest 10% of your…

No. Not even close.a) if you read my comment, I said that my fixed expenses have changed very little since when I first got out of college, but my income has increased, thankfully. But if this is a guide for young 20-somethings, I think we need to focus on distinguishing the difference between savings and investing.…
