I’m in sort of the same boat. I knew my brother-in-law was conservative, but he’s always been a kind, polite person. Then suddenly he’s on twitter, reposting word vomit from Drumpf and teaching my adorable, innocent nephew to repeat bullshit lies. Apparently (my husband knows me well enough to know it’s best if I…

Fellow woman in advertising here. Maybe it’s different because I’m in healthcare advertising, but I feel like the problem is all at the top. There are plenty of women in junior and even many in middle management, but the very top is still mostly men (and/or on the creative side, there seem to be more men on the art…

Hahahahah, no. They will never get rid of personas because they “really bring our customer/patient” to life (aka brand teams are often run by people with no background in marketing and zero imagination).

I use “Baby Girl” all the time...because that’s my dog’s name. My husband and I have a friend (actually the woman who set us up) who calls or called her husband daddy in bed (kinda wish she had never told me that because I can’t unknow it) before they had kids and we’ve always wondered if they still do that now that…

Same. It literally never occurred to me that you wouldn’t wash your entire body every single time. Arms, torso, legs, back. I work out. When I do, my whole body sweats, not just my pits. Thus, all parts get washed. On days I don’t work out, I guess I’m doing it out of habit. And because I enjoy being clean.

Have you ever tried Certain-Dri? I used it every night (before bed) for like 2-3 months and it took me from basically soaking my shirt before I even finished drying my hair to basically never sweating under my arms ever (but also, please note I do sweat in other weird places now, like my butt). Botox was the next step…

Oddly, when I got the news about Michael Jackson (on my way to a client presentation), it was from my friend who is prone to believing just about anything (including for a short time that 9/11 was an inside job). I assumed she was just being an idiot again.

It’s definitely informative, but it does sort of make it impossible to suspend your disbelief if you’re really into the episode.

Yeah, we’ve been working with a trainer since basically day 1. She’s improved tremendously since then (about 4 years ago), but according to our trainer, she’s really just not into other animals and probably never will be. As a pretty anti-social person, I can’t fault her for that. It’s a bit of a bummer because we…

Same, the time thing drove me crazy. Maybe they were trying to say that whatever time spent there could change a person, but I still struggled with the believably that this seemingly straight laced guy suddenly got a knuckle tattoo.

Just make sure that you look around for a person who clearly does their own brows. I don’t have quite the same issue, because my few brow hairs are dark, but they are so few that I absolutely have to do them every day to feel ok going outside — and when I need advice, I’ve found the people who don’t do their own are…

I would have agreed with you, that is, before I got a dog that is other-d0g-reactive. I can’t tell you how many times people have completely ignored/misread/misunderstood both my dog’s AND my reactions to approaching dogs (including but not limited to me saying My dog is not friendly). And 99% of those people have…

If it’s the one I tried in my Ipsy bag, I’m pretty sure it’s more orange

Two years ago, my dude and I were watching the very tense end to The Killing when something large flew past us. We both said WTF at the same time. A Benny Hill-style chase scene ensued, starring our hero dog (the only creature in the apartment that wasn’t screaming and terrified). Then we took a picture to prove how…

I usually get a call but they do follow up with an official “offer letter” that I need to sign. Maybe it’s a corporate America kind of thing?

SAME!!!!! Rather than making me feel nostalgic, pictures from the 90s fill me with rage and regret. I will have to draw on my eyebrows for the rest of my life because of the STUPID decisions I made in my teens.

That’s what we’re doing!! Love that song because it has the lines “The book of love is long and boring” and “some of it’s just really dumb”. Keeping it real here folks

To answer your questions: Do regular fancy jewelry stores just keep diamonds that large in stock? — Like Kay’s? No, but it’s not like he’s doing a lot of shopping in the mall these days.

I avoided posting “ring shots” on social media because it felt braggy, but I really love it and the engagement ends next week (you know, like happily, because we’ll be married), so what the heck. #ILikeBigRocksAndICannotLie

And/or it’s really cold whenever that picture is being taken? My ring fits, but inside my hyper air-conditioned office, it slides around all the time because I’m always freezing (not to the point of falling off, just the side tilt).
