Separate incidences, I think. Or if it's like the layout in my old college dorm, the living room and kitchen were all in one open area.

Contrary to what Sophie is saying, I live in Dorchester county now (quite close to the hospital mentioned, actually) and there are plenty of buses. This lady absolutely had other alternatives, she just felt like she was too important to wait for the bus, I guess, so now I get to pay for it. Awesome.

It says he had no knowledge of the *scheme.* It's possible he thought the kid was really sick, but couldn't come home to verify because of his job.

I too had a thoroughly average prom. I spent about $100 on a dress and then about $50 or so on a limo (10 of us chipped in for a big one). I went with my then-boyfriend of 2 years and our friends. We danced, ate a decent dinner, and then had a little after-party at one guy's house. Another girl showed up wearing the…

I've lived in the south for a few years now, and my understanding of the phrase is that it can also be used to express pity, in a "you look tired" sort of way. Not the nicest thing to say, because it basically means you look a mess, but in general the speaker usually does feel bad for you.

So did anyone else see this headline and think it was about another excerpt from Cat Marnell's book? Because I sure did.

I thought she was referring to the trope in general, which often has a nagging wife.

Where did she do that, exactly? I don't think we're reading the same article here.

My thoughts as well. I missed Dodai's article when it originally ran but now I see I wasn't missing much at all. Cupcakes are vaginas? Give me a break.

Thank you, I was wondering if I'd find any other cupcake lovers amidst all this inexplicable cupcake hate. I agree that the mini ones are kind of dumb, but come on! Normal cupcakes are great.

I read the major stories on Google News every day and saw nothing about it, so I don't think it's as widely talked about as you think it is.

They absolutely do. Just the other day I was dealing with some MRA loser on Imgur who insisted that rape culture is imaginary and women are overprotected compared to men. I asked for an example; he said women "get" to stay home and be housewives while men have to work and "can't" be stay-at-home parents. When I told…

You don't have to get all snippy because you heard about it first. It's not like you sent a tip in and it was ignored.

Yes! Zoya is the only polish brand I use anymore. It's mainly for the wide range of colors and excellent formula, but I do appreciate that the hot pink I currently have on is just called "Izzie" instead of "Tart" or something awful that Essie or OPI would have named it.

I've liked him since I saw the video for his "Lazy Song" with a cranky Leonard Nimoy antagonizing children in the grocery store and chucking cereal on his neighbor's lawn. I was kind of on the fence about him til that point, but I figured if he has Nimoy's seal of approval he can't be that bad.

Frankie was pretty badly bullied by the others, though I suppose that's kind of realistic for high school age kids.

Yes! I also came here expecting Caprica Six. I don't know who this LeMeure lady is, but she's not the Six I wanted.

A friend's husband has that. He's the only other person I've met with that, and yeah, I was pretty baffled when I heard about it. That guy is always miserable and I completely blame the lack of fructose in his life.

I completely agree with you. Someone who only dates married men because she likes the thrill of aiding in the destruction of someone else's marriage is NOT a good person. Even if you want to pretend like "oh, not my husband, not my problem," it's probably a safe bet that a selfish attitude like that spills over into…

Totally agree. Everyone has at least one sore spot - good friends know to stay away from it, bad friends see it as a target. I'd rather have one less friend than hang out with someone who needs to mock me (or another friend) in order to have fun.
