My former friend’s husband was born in Israel (raised Stateside since age 7). He was telling us once that the main difference between Judaism and Christianity is that the Christian clergy are all about staunching adhering to rules whereas the Rabbis were all about finding ways to stick to the letter of the teachings…

This is immediately what I thought upon first reading.

Concur. I used to wash my hair every two days. When I started dying my hair fun colors I cut back on washings to preserve the color longer—I didn’t even know scalp training was a thing—but I absolutely noticed that after maybe the first 2-3 weeks of oily hair I started to be able to go longer between washings. Now my…

I mean DC’s turned into a trio, but DC’s first 2 albums and most of their early hits were part of a 4-girl line-up: Bey, Kelly, LaTavia, & LaToya . Depending on who you believe the former 2 quit or were unknowingly replaced with Michelle & Farrah. I remember that “Say My Name” was a big deal when it came out because…

At the time, turning 30 was a stressful prospect. It felt like the point of no return in terms of figuring out my situation or the end of being able to try&fail at things. I’m 33 now, but I still look upon my 31st year as one of the best years of my formative life. All the hard work at my job paid off and I received a…

I have thick, very wavy hair and I wash it once a week on avg. I don’t work out every day, but usually 3-4x a week—a good brushing distributes the oil/sweat enough that it’s not noticable. I think it just depends on what type of hair you have.

THANK YOU. I was always annoyed I couldn’t flux on my iPhone.

No? To me is just looks like two women in nude bathing suits in awakward “fashion” poses. Is it because the suits are flesh-colored? I mean, they’re not even look at each other.

For Christmas I bake cookies. For everyone. For my friends. For my family. For my coworkers. It’s cost efficient, I like to bake, and practically no one no matter gender or denomination has a problem with cookies. My (male) coworkers like to play this game with me though, where they’ll say loudly at the lunch table or…

A few years out of college I was an assistant project manager (I was actually running my own projects, but if they took out the “assistant” in my title they’d’ve had to pay me more...) at a small company. I’d been at the company 3 years, but we’d just broken off from a larger company—where we were all spread out over…

This song was MY JAM. My dad had his sound system set up so you could dub from the TV, and I used to have it primed and ready to go in case I got lucky and gems like this came on VH1. I have some very interesting mix tapes.

Was it with your grandarents? My grandma and I used to watch all those classic movie musicals together.

I see what you’re saying, and I’m sorry you’re getting flamed.

A few years back my mom, who lives several states away from me, broke her hip. I was given permission to go home and help my dad with her for a few weeks when she got out of the rehab facility, but it was NOT covered by FMLA and the time off had to be…

“Ya Got Trouble” from The Music Man

I started applying vaseoline to my face, after a nasty cystic outbreak, upon reccomendation. (At that point I felt nothing could make it worse!) My face cleared up, but I kept using it just in case. I started getting compliments on how bright and soft my skin looked, and I never looked back.

In Boston Happy Hour is illegal, public transit stops at 12:30am, and the bars close at 2am.

I hope she is!

I just finished this yesterday! I definitley enjoyed it, though I felt the abrupt ending was a little Lifetime Movie. It holds a place in my heart for referencing my alma mater, Emerson College, in a throwaway line.

I wish Warren had run!

Everyone is different. I’ve had several surgeries over the years and been prescribed the big name pain meds respectively. Half the time I could barely keep them down—crackers, toast, & milk first, and even then it was dicey—I either threw them up after 20min or I spent the next few hours completely nauseated. The…
