Also, could they chill on building new apartment complexes for a hot second and do something about the giant crumbling half-built hotel on the Downtown Mall? Not only is it staggeringly bad-looking, t’s only a matter of time before something flies off that thing and maims/kills someone.

Albemarle Co. resident here and could not agree more. If anything, the city council has perpetuated this nonsense.

this babby is Not Cute. there. i said it.

Brag/accomplishment thread! My brag is I’M DONE WITH GRAD SCHOOL!!! I submitted the last of my coursework today! So to celebrate I made a peach-blueberry pie with tons of crumble on top and I’m having the most amazing burger rn. I put TWO slices of cheese on it because fuck it. Lots of wine. Brag here everyone! Let’s…

Yes! Another CO person! I’m always surprised by how crazy things grow where we are now—it is a crazy shift in thinking.

Because I got high

Why? Because weed. Are you in CO, because I could totally see that happening here.

Shameless brag thread: I finished 2nd out of 79 women in a triathlon today! 

When my sister worked for United, we all had and followed the dress code for people getting basically free flights. And often, she and her kids would end up in first class. I really don’t see anything wrong with this policy. The passengers using the pass should have been aware of it too and dressed appropriately. …

It is! And she looks fucking glamorous. Samira is just so luminous, and I am officially stealing their use of “This is How We Do It” for when I finally club someone over the head and drag them back to my cave.

Have to say, Siriano has really hit his stride over the last few years. He’s created some truly gorgeous gowns and I appreciate that he’s a designer who doesn’t just design for the super-model thin.

At first I did not like it, but they more I look at it, the more I love it. I think it’s the cape that’s doing it for me.

I have to say, the jumpsuit cape combo wouldn’t be my choice but Lauren Morelli definitely rocks it. It’s frilly-feminine but contemporary. They both look fab.

For some reason that outfit has a real Star Wars vibe it. I approve.

There was a youtube video! I’m hopeless at hair because mine is curly so the more I ignore it the better it is. So I managed to follow this one which was a victory. I don’t have quite enough hair but it came out ok.

I actually made this hat and scarf last year, but thanks to El Nino/global warming/me living in the 7th circle of hell weather-wise, I never got to wear them. I’m so happy I have a wedding to go to in a few days and I got a simple, solid grey dress that I can wear my hat and scarf with - well the scarf at least, I may…

Between the Waldo Canyon and the Black Forest fire, I’ve had enough of that shit. But then there was the one in Beulah this year. At least we didn’t seem to get overwhelmed with smoke from that one.

Between “Dr.” Phil and (actual, though quacky) Dr. Oz, Oprah’s judgment about people does seem rather shitty.

I can’t edit my original post but I wanted to tell everyone, I VOTED!!!! My husband went just now and called and said there was no line at all, and he explained my situation to the poll workers so they were prepared to bring the machine to my car if I needed it (thankfully I didn’t!) I AM SO HAPPY!!!!
