The extent of my popular music knowledge is limited to whatever is on the Motivation Mix Spotify playlist because its perfect for hypnotizing me just enough so that I can suffer through a session on a treadmill without passing out from boredom. “Shape of You” gets me in that hamster wheel headspace and for that I will…

It’s the old “the one who smelt, dealt it” rule.
Ah, this is where we part ways, I’m afraid. I hide my birthday on facebook so nobody can be reminded, and anybody I would wish a happy birthday is somebody I talk to regularly offline.
As a child, I wasn’t allowed to touch my gifts beyond unwrapping them until my thank you notes were written and addressed. Being 6 and sitting and contemplating why you are so stoked to get that Barbie and writing about that in detail made getting to play with Barbie all the better and most certainly kept me from be a…
Good gawd that is tacky. I’m trying to think of a way to rephrase and white lie around what she could have said so it didn’t come across so greedy and awful but nope. That is rude no matter how you slice it.
Anytime I have ever contributed to a honeyfund the couple never seemed to go on an actual honeymoon. As far as I could tell it was a way for them to ask for cash without looking rude by saying “cash gifts only please” and they paid a fee to the website to do so.
I’m 31 and I don’t understand crowdfunding either. I am looking at getting married in a couple of years. At that point we will have lived together for 10 years and we are definitely well past the “help the young people buy towels” stage. I also can’t imagine ever asking people to pay for me to go on vacation.…
It’s definitely formulaic but I have enjoyed it because each season the bad guy looks a little more and more like Rick and his leadership within his own group. For me the line between the good guys and the bad guys gets a little more blurred every season. It’s to the point where the parts that make the Saviors bad…
Ohhhhh god Noah. I forgot about Noah. :( I thought he was going to stick around for at least a little longer.
I don’t have a whole lot to add, except I somehow ended up needing to art direct a hand photo shoot once. Spending half a day overthinking things like casting the right hand shape, critiquing the hand makeup, considering things like nail length and shape and discussing this with a manicurist then saying things like…
Exactly, I am sure it works for a certain type of person (and I know I am not one of them). But for the average person looking for a second income they can make from home, with no sales/marketing skills, training or instincts, who is just trying to pay off credit cards or make enough money to pay for daycare, it seems…
My mom sold Mary Kay in the 90s and ran into the same thing. She paid something like $1200 for inventory and I think she just managed to squeak by in terms of breaking even...eventually over the course of about 6 months. And then for the next 5 years, everybody got Mary Kay products for their birthdays and holidays…
I personally hate that they call it a “party.” At least back in the day of Mary Kay and Tupperware parties they had the illusion of it being an actual party. It included a gathering of friends/acquaintances going to someone’s house, eating cheese and crackers and drinking punch and then everybody dutifully sat through…
Noooo I did too. And now I am looking it up to try to see if it holds up.
Not enough rage in my opinion. If I never get propositioned to buy another zebra print monogrammed beach bag or an all natural! no chemicals! lip scrub again, it will be too soon.
The companies that lease out store space are known for charging exorbitant prices and having lots of nitpicky rules for building out spaces and advertising. It’s practically impossible for any kind of mom and pop places to get into a mall space because of the barriers of entry and often times it’s only the JC Penneys,…
Austin has turned our dead mall into a huge campus for our community college. Seems to have worked fairly well and it’s one way to enrich the community and make use of those giant ugly hollow buildings.
I used to work at the headquarters for a mall pop-up store chain. Cherry Creek was always a top performing store in the country and known as one of the “nice” malls about 4 years ago. Looks like it’s reign is over and their leasing rates are going to finally fall.
