Half the time, that's what I believe, but in this case I think it's genuine - mostly because the relationship confused people and wasn't received that well.

I know what you mean. I always tell myself that I know my rights and will insist on them if anything happens... That's until I was handcuffed, had my ID taken away from me, was placed into a police car and driven around for "identification" for the crime of taking a walk on my lunch break. An officer approached me…

It's so horribly true. "OH SHIT A WHITE PERSON GOT IT?! BETTER GET EXPERIMENTAL ON THAT SHIT!"

If you think that sitting next to someone that might have traveled to Liberia will cause you to the contract Ebola, you are an "overly hyped Ebola nut".

I know that I, for one, haven't eaten Taco Bell for years now out of fear that it would cause me to get kidnapped by a Mexican drug cartel.

About 7 years ago my wife, 2 year old son, 60+ year old parents were up in the northeast corner of Yellowstone at a campground that has a stream that runs through it. It had about 2 inhabitants - the camp host and someone else I never saw. We parked our vehicle in a spot and apprantly my right front tire was on the…

So here's what you do (with no badge numbers, video, etc available). You file a complaint with the county sherrif and the office of the state Attorney General (Kamala Harris), and then you pledge $2k against them in the next election if nothing is done to investigate a clear case of brandishing (Cal penal code…

The last (ok, only) relationship i had, i don't think anyone "wore the pants".

Does this mean we spent the whole time naked? (I hope it does)

When I get enough money, I'm going to have my wedding set melted down and reset in a necklace for my daughter. I know it's stupid, but I feel like giving her or my son the set to use if they ever decide to marry would be starting their relationships off with a bad omen, seeing as how their father and I split up. It's…

There is NOTHING wrong with having a party to celebrate your love & commitment (& nothing wrong with you wanting a party to make yourself feel special; we all need that)

This is a little belated compared to the ending of an engagement, but when my aunt and uncle split up, they agreed that she would keep her engagement ring until one of their sons decided to get married, and pass it on to the new couple. Seems to me like a good solution.

I second what collierLA said about the Sally Hansen miracle top/base coats. I use them religiously and the manicurist I go to has given up on trying to take it off with acetone - it's the grinder for me! (If you don't get acrylics, the polish actually comes of decently easily.)

Florist school sounds awesome! I hope it works out for you. :)

My mom still has the one my dad gave her, and they've been divorced since 2000. But it's not like it has marriage-ending juju, so I'm getting the diamond reset when (hopefully, someday) my boyfriend proposes. I told him to go have a chat with my mom and she'd hand it over. Better than buying one, especially since I'm…

I use OPI Nail Envy as a base coat and my polish stays on pretty decently-plus it really helps with nail health!

I'm shopping for my aunt, not for myself (I mostly use super-long-wear cream/powder-gel eye shadow things, because AWESOME) so I'd prefer them to be in an actual native palette thing. I mean, I could just wait until monday and call Kryolan's CS, but if I do it here then it's an excuse to Talk About Makeup.

I also love that you are being honest about the driving force behind 99.9999% of wedding festivities. What is your new career going to be? You should pick something where you get to shine for good reason every now and again. Attention for attention's sake is worthless. Well deserved attention is one of the best…

All you can do is offer him your love & support, which it sounds like you're already doing. I know 16 is young, but it's also old enough that he has to make a hard choice for himself: move to another country and leave behind everyone he knows & loves, or stay where he is and perhaps be treated horribly by those…

Wednesday, we had to take in our oldest sheltie to be put to sleep. He was approx. 16, blind, deaf, wobbly, and – as of this week – incontinent. Up until recently, he still seemed to be digging his comfy life.

I have a very blingy ring simply because I love things that sparkle! ( I have 2.7carat centre stone with 44 little diamonds around and down the sides)...BUT...my centre stone is an enhanced moissanite (not diamond). I wanted a big bling style without the big bling price tag...because I would much rather buy a house…
