I learned that it looks like a sperm, but an erect penis is a good one too.

I’m have pretty good attention to detail, and I can see myself missing something like this. Like if asked to proof something like this, I would be so busy looking for typos, awkward phrases, spacing issue etc that it would never dawn on me to register that they used the wrong symbol. Particularly because they made…

I’m in a little further from the beach - actually in technically unincorporated LA County, but still it’s brutal. I get letters all the time from people asking to buy my house, and at this point, other than getting multi-millions for the house (which is overshooting a little) I every calculation I make has me taking…

I commented above, but I made the same observation. I also live in this area near Rosecrans/Manhattan Beach. I bought in mid-2007, which was just as the housing bubble was about to pop. About a year ago I was preparing to divorce, so I was looking for housing, assuming we would have to sell the house. There is just…

I never thought I would say this - but I am very glad that I bought a house in mid-2007. Sure I paid a little more than if I had waited 8 to 10 months. Sure, I watched my property value tumble during the recession, but I wasn’t going anywhere. I live in Los Angeles - South Bay and while it is not quite at the level…

I wonder if Trumps reputation for not paying his fucking bills is also affecting his ability to get people to perform at his inauguration. I’m sure that there are a handful of country bands/performers, perhaps some lesser known 70's rock bands who are on the rural county fair circuit who would be willing to perform. …

This has always been my take on things. The seat is designed to recline and safely transport me from point a to point b. The seat was not designed to be your mobile office... why would I ride in discomfort for hours because someone is trying to turn an economy class plane seat into their office. I am not going to…

(digital high five)!

I have a medical worry that makes hormones like birth control pills not recommended, so I got the 10 year copper one put it, now 11 years ago and I have loved it. I need to get on getting a replacement ( just got divorced and I am making up for lost time ;-)) ... but I agree - discomfort on insertion, take a few…

My mom (who is very good with money) did this growing up. Every month she pulled off various chunks of money and assigned them to various line items in the budget. It really drove home the idea of how planning for things is the best way to avoid unnecessary expenses or having to spend in a crisis (and perhaps…

This is where I landed post-election. So many of the things he claimed he wanted to do are at best complicated logistical nightmares and at worst just straight up illegal. For example: your average power utility started transitioning away from coal 25 - 30 years ago. Their equipment, their business model and their…

It’s a “issue” that gets you no sympathy, but the vanity size slide is a big problem for those of us who are already in the smaller sizes. I’m in shape, but of “average” build. I wore size 6 for many years, but then those started getting big.. and I cleaned up my lifestyle... so I dropped into a four. The last few…

I post on another message board and I wrote out my process and one of my “friends” on the board said “we should save that on one of the permanent threads as a reference”

I personally find that being open to tailoring makes shopping for clothing much more efficient and productive. Shortly after I started working in a professional job, I just accepted that I had to get all pants and skirts shortened. Occasionally I find an item that I can skip that step, but not very often. I consider…

I am just divorced (like still waiting for it to be legal), and while it was not enjoyable, it was slightly empowering. I had put up with a lot of shit for a lot of years and when I was done it felt good to have no fucks to give. Now we have no kids and once the divorce ball was rolling no one fought it. But once I…

Full disclosure: I have not been able to make it through the full video, but I certainly understand the main highlights.

You know what’s another issue for the smaller among us... vanity sizing. I am not the smallest little thing to walk the earth. I’m a short person, with healthy muscle mass and average bone structure, hips, boobs etc. Over the years, I have gone from a 6, to a 4, to now I’m wearing some 2's. Now I’m not a size 2. I’m…

I once had a pretty important event to attend and went into White House/Black Market with money to spend. Please take my money... and EVERY skirt and dress they were showing that was remotely appropriate for the event had some sort of graphic or detail on the bottom that would have made it impossible to hem. I told…

I just want a new silhouette. I’m so sick of blousey over skinny pants. It’s fine... I’m pretty trim and proportional. I can make most things work with the right shoe and a trip to the tailor. I have a few outfits that are this fit... but it’s not my favorite or the most flattering for me. I have been waiting, and…

I agree with you sort of. Let his constituents decide if it is a problem for them, but save the time, energy and money you spend trying to make him resign and make sure he doesn’t make it past the primary in the next election.
