I really, really like my Wii U: my fiance can watch TV and I can still play, the new MarioKart and online play makes me wanna sploosh, I can play my old Wii games, they just dropped Donkey Kong Country for download as well as other retro games, and the graphics are great. Don't fret - you still got something good, and…

I certainly hope they aren't moving on from the Wii U. It's one of my favorite systems (behind Gamecube) and the upcoming games, including the new tracks for MarioKart, make me want to happily continue playing it.

things nobody wants: ghosts,

God, I hate difficult conversations. I wish this would've focused more on how to do this with family members because it's much more personal with family. Yes, you can do these things, but family members are used to the way they interact with you - which means these things may not happen or fail miserably.

THANK YOU. Why not Zelda? Why not Captain Toad? Why not any fucking character that ISN'T a baby?! They're not even good to play with!

and don't forget baby Rosalina - the character no one asked for, ever

Oh god, the menus in MarioKart...

Thank you for the recommendation! Right now I'm using the Wii Fit as a way to measure and record my progress — and it actually have exercises too. But I need a little more help. I'll check it out!

you're too kind :) I hope you're having a wonderful Friday!

Congratulations on your weight loss! I'm having to lose that same amount of weight and I'm struggling, so I'm happy to hear it's at least doable

My understanding is that your student loan payments can't be higher than 10-15% of your income under a new law (depending on how much in student loans you have), so it may be higher than my payments but it'll be a welcome relief.

Thanks for the advice. Luckily for me I did great in college so it seems to have helped me land these jobs...but you're right I gotta stay and build more equity in this company.

Great point - it's about priorities.

How often is *too* often to switch jobs? I mean, in terms of how long you're with your employer? I like my job right now, but I feel like with the economy doing better I might be able to find a better position. I've been in this job 8 months, the previous job 9 months, prior to that 4 months...I'm afraid it's going to…

You're right, there are some brands that hike up the price on their makeup due to their name: Dior, Burberry, etc. They do it cause people will buy it. There are other brands, however, that have quality behind their name.

I wish America was like that. When some Americans find out someone is trans, they grab the pitchforks and drag religion into it, despite the fact that churches are supposed to be harbors of good and love and charity - and I'm saying that as an atheist. And of course the churches go along with the hate and…

Good point about the self-hatred. Not only are there bi-curious men, you also have men who have sex with men who don't consider themselves gay. The mainstream tries very hard to make any homosexual behavior unacceptable.... no wonder some men stay in the closet.

I hope your stepdaughter is doing well! I can't imagine how rough this was for your family, but I hope she's happy and healthy

ditto. I'm a nail polish junkie so I'm always buying stuff and I've just started to catalog everything, and my fiance helped. He immediately mentioned that some polishes were better than others...lo and behold it's my pricey ones.

How to eat well. my mom put me on a diet at 11 (wasn't overweight) and insisted from then on I drink only diet soft drinks. She made sure I didn't have any dessert or candy, not that I really had it anyway. But she nor my dad really taught me how to eat healthy, so now I struggle to keep my weight down. I've got my…
