My husband works in post production, and I am FILLED with resentment that he gets to wear jeans and whatever wrinkly tshirt he pulls out of the drawer, whereas I have to spend hours of my life combing stores for slacks and blazers that don’t look like complete rumply shit on me 😡

I wear dresses, leggings, and flats because they are easier to put on. A couple of months ago my coworker asked if I constantly wore dresses as a “religious thing” which I found odd because the dresses I wear aren’t very conservative. Her eyebrows reached a new level when I explained that I do it because it is…

I think what constitutes “professional” is highly dependent upon the industry you’re in. Lawyers, bankers, finance folks, much traditional “business” workplaces — those are suits or half-suits (aka: suit pants/skirts and blouses for women, or suits pants and shirts but no jackets for men) or go home, period. For most…

I’m a mid-level manager/administrator at a large public university. I wear dark jeans, tops that come from Loft most of the time, and flats. I’ll throw on a cardigan or blazer if I have to go to a meeting. Other than the actual executive administration here, I’ve never seen anyone really “dressed up”.

Grandma is very happy my main job prospects are near her. I can’t move in with her (she’s in assisted living and loves it) but the idea of having a grandchild close makes her so excited.

Truthfully, I bet your Grandma loves having you there. My siblings and I keep my 74 and 69 year old parents young!

So many good points in your post. I’ll add to that with the new standard of barely ANY truly entry-level jobs. There are so many fields that will not hire new grads without experience. When I graduated as a nurse with a BSN, I had difficulty finding jobs that didn’t require 2 years of experience. How does one GET 2…

In my country it’s not that unusual. As long as everybody get’s along, does their part and there is enough space. Grandma can take care of the grandchildren while the adults are at work and the adults can take care of grandma if needed.

I have 2 of my “millennial” children living at home. Well, the youngest is in college and only home for holidays and summer. The second youngest is taking a break from school to figure out his life. It’s a good arrangement. They pay a small amount to us for “room and board” which helps our retirement account and they…

Shout out from my grandma’s basement.

Living with your family was completely normal before the baby boomers were all like this isn't American we need to spend spend spend everyone in their own 2.5 bedroom with vinyl siding!

Perfect, I’ve got some holes that need digging.

Christie conditionally vetoed a similar bill in November 2015, saying he’d rather focus on making it easier for domestic violence victims to get guns of their own.

If there really are as many powerful behind-the-scenes pedos in Hollywood as suggested, did it really bomb or was it just sort of quietly buried?

I feel like it’s a bit uncharitable to call An Open Secret a bomb even if yes, technically it was a total box office failure, but how many screens did it even open on? And how much money was available for any type of promotion? And how many people go to see documentaries in the theater in the first place, especially…

A while ago there was this heinous video going around FB starring a guy who would physically push his girlfriend into things, or dump things on her or say nasty shit to her and it was SO FUNNY.

You’re totally right... People who describe themselves as “pranksters” always seem to just be sadistic assholes who don’t want to admit that they’re sadistic assholes.

Idols are treated very different in Japan. Even the name. Idols are created in camps/schools/farms specifically to appeal to a wide audience. They’re not allowed to date publicly because it would ruin the image of their availability. Idols are sort of your perfect imaginary boyfriend/girlfriend. Idols have been booted…

How does this even work? I take it there isn’t a loop hole about dating your biggest fan, so the idols aren’t actually “available” to anyone, they’re very high profile nuns.
