I didn’t see this happen until freshman year of college... I couldn’t get over the arrogance of an 18 year old who thought he was smarter than a professor because she was “just an adjunct.”

I am not a scientist or academic so I can’t advise on that point. But as someone in my late 30s, I’m getting to the point where I actually know a lot about the field I’ve been in for 15 years. And now I’m finally starting to get into the real shit.

Yes, this is a big problem in my sister’s neighborhood in East Boston. It’s close to the airport, so in the last few years, many folks from the suburbs bought houses there as investments, and put them up on airbnb. They can get a lot more money from short-term rentals to flight attendants than from regular long-term…

Arghh!!!! I have 4 bridesmaids of vastly different body shapes and insecurities. I am grateful for the current mismatched bridesmaid trend, so we’re going with that.

Good job, young Susanfuzz!!!

I am so sorry!!! I just bought a wedding dress and so have spent too much time in David’s Bridal recently. I am cringing on your behalf. I would have been really self-conscious the whole time and there would probably be at least one embarrassing picture of me dropping an appetizer down my cleavage during the reception.

Assuming you even WANT the job after they said something like that... I am a 38F and I buy Talbots cotton button ups during sales (and at the thrift store in the nice part of town). It is a hassle and not cheap, but it makes a huge difference in looking professional. The fabric is a nice heavy weight but still…

Pretty sure no large-breasted woman has ever gone to a gym braless. You couldn’t work out for more than a few minutes, it would be PAINFUL as hell.

Yup.

Ooh, thank you for the recommendation! Buying immediately for my niece and nephew.

Fast Times at Ridgemont High. That’s the only movie I’ve ever seen where it was handled in that way. Ever.

Ok... how about sympathy for the children who are born into it, then? Anything?

Yes, but what about a family where the man is better at nurturing (my fiance grew up the oldest of dozens of cousins and is so much better than I with babies)? Or the woman happens to be better at earning money? Or what about a couple that can’t have children? And what about a widow with teenage sons - who should be…

Here’s what I wonder about this bra premise: I am a 42E. All of the bras available to me look like an unsexy beige ace bandage. No one makes bras for boobs my size that come in colors, or have any lace. Therefore, how will I know when I have given up sexually?

Nope, not terrifying, it was great. No-nonsense older lady, took just a minute, and brought me a bunch of super comfy bras and I suddenly looked like I’d lost 20 pounds.

Yes, discussing something in person *should* be easier than laboring over a carefully detailed email essay. But what about: when a person won’t make time for an actual meeting? If you are regularly cut off and dismissed in meetings? If the person agrees to something, and then later acts like you never even discussed…

Yes, they still have plus size. But they are NOT making their Canvas line in plus sizes, and that’s what the author is saying is dumb. Because plus size women in their 20's and 30's who occasionally want/need to look stylish would snap that stuff up.

800 stars for you!! I would buy one of each thing you made!!!

Exactly!!!

This is an awesome story!!! Camp was also like opposite-day for me. I grew up in a small conservative town where everyone was related to each other, and never had a chance of fitting in. But my parents wisely sent us away to 4-H camp on the other side of the state, where no one knew me and I got to be this confident,…
