Yep, that was my thought. My parents have been divorced for over 20 years and still HATE each other, so despite the fact that I’m a grown ass, 30-something woman, they BOTH insisted on walking me down the aisle (even though I seem to walk around most days on my own just fine). I won in the end, though, because it…

Same. I live in NYC but I have to be in CA for work. When I told my husband that I will need to get up at like 2am to start watching, he couldn’t believe it. Thank you for proving that I’m not alone.

My thoughts exactly. I work with pharma companies for a living (not as a lobbyist). Their vetting process and contract negotiations are insane and every one I’ve ever seen has a kill clause that can get them out of just about anything. Just yesterday, my clients were telling me about a potential deal where the other…

NOT ATTEND.

Respectfully disagree. I’ve been a water-drinking fool for over a decade now (like enough to make my pee basically clear). Without product, my lips (and face) will flake all winter-long. For me, that product is Bite Beauty’s Agave Lip Mask. It’s thick as hell so I don’t usually wear it during the day, but I put it on…

@Cerebration, SEE!?! My worst fears come true. Burn them all!!!!!!!!

Just wanted to chime in that I dated someone that I worked with and at no point in the beginning did either one of us initiate physical contact before being adults and talking about the situation first. And we were in our early 20s at the time. I think the point is not that people should NEVER date their colleagues…

Yeah I know, but I can’t risk it. What if we kill all the female trees and then the male trees learn to change and the stink returns? All must go.  

There’s one on my block, maybe three or four buildings down but that STINK smells like it’s coming from our front door. My husband has a permanent dog-like sense of smell so it’s way worse for him than me, but in this case, no one wins.

Are you sure you’re not thinking of the Ginkgo trees? Because those smell exactly like hot, rotting garbage mixed with dog poop and throw up. And I want to burn them ALL

Agreed. I don’t have a PhD but I have worked in health insurance and pharmaceuticals for over 10 years. Both my husband and I have struggled to understand very simple issues, like what’s being covered for an elective surgery and how to find a dentist.

Completely agree. I felt that way the second we were briefed about this product and everyone on the team played Not It because no one wanted to work on it. It’s an interesting concept, but the room for error is extremely high. If you feel that strongly, just get your tubes tied/balls snipped. There’s a very good…

I totally get the appeal of thinking of it that way and if you need another excuse to be outraged at this administration, don’t let me stand in your way. But this is a LONG time coming (speaking as someone who was working on this business when Bayer acquired it). This one is bad.

My mom was a postpartum doula for decades before going back to teaching (special ed in a low income area. I think she’s going for sainthood). She still get Christmas cards from some of the families of her “babies” who are now in college. There really are people who are there to help (um, if you’re rich and live on a…

It was my in-laws’ wedding song (is? my mother-in-law passed away so I never know how to phrase things like that). I will listen to ANY version with joy because they were so in love and the song always makes me think of that.

I used to follow a lot of “paying debt down” blogs back when I was trying to do the same and I remember one of the people writing talked about that very thing. Blah blah blah, hard times of some type or another, loses job, house, etc, and moves back in with their parents. Before the hard times, they had a nice car…

I guess I’ll be the only one to say that I did not have a cheap wedding and I have zero regrets. We both come from huge families and were among the last to get married after almost 10 years of dating, so everyone was expecting a big party. We also wanted a live band because my husband is a musician. We both do pretty…

Maybe. But I actually don’t mind it. I’ve got another bag with a nonsense monogram.

Even better!

Am I your mom? I got a fantastic, never used tote bag with the initials CLM on it for super cheap from the outlet. I call it my CLAM bag (sure, I could have gone with CALM but that doesn’t really fit with my personality).
