Well, it's been like 17-18 years probably. But still...it feels like we should have progressed a little in all that time.

This reminds me of the Daria episode where Daria and Jane's poster/anorexia poem get censored...good to see that nothing relevant to young women and their health/safety is acceptable for public consumption even now, almost 20 years after that aired. *sigh*
I am having this problem at work too, except I work for an insurance company. They do everything backwards and make things more difficult for everyone (employees like me, agents, insureds). I am in therapy and am trying to hold on until I've reached a year or 18 months, so I have some savings and my resume looks okay.…
Thanks!
I don't think it's fair to blame obese Americans, because clearly the deck is stacked against them. But I do think that we should acknowledge their agency in their own situation. And I think we should acknowledge that there are non-food cultural factors that contribute to the problem.
Does anyone know anything about podcasting? I am interested in learning how to do that, but I have no clue about what equipment is good to start off with. I've googled a bit but I can't figure it out. Would it be worthwhile trying to intern/volunteer at a local radio station, do you think? Or is that a totally…
Ending a statement by going up is actually a feature of some languages and regional accents. French speakers do it. Aussies do it. So I am not sure if this is a woman-man thing as much as it could be an immigration shift of what groups have been migrating to the US and Britain. As far as "like" and that type of…
A fire fighter was taken to the hospital, but is not seriously injured. I don't think the organization, San Fernando Valley Rescue Mission,has decided what to do yet. I made small donations to the Red Cross (which is helping the displaced people) and the mission itself, because I felt like I had to do something.
A homeless shelter burned down in North Hollywood. It is hitting me pretty hard because I was semi-homeless (couch surfing, weekly motels) for almost a year at one point even though I was working 37-40 hours a week, and I just feel like...oh my god, these people finally were somewhere getting back on their feet and…
Oh I see it now. My bad!
But do we know the school is unionized? I went to a private jr/sr high school that WASN'T unionized, and I'm not sure how this advice helps this teacher if s/he works in an environment like that.
I found a sublet for a month tonight, I have keys and everything. Moving in on Monday.
I salute you! I love bargains. I have some kickass Marc Jacobs trousers that make my ass look fabulous, I got them at Buffalo Exchange for $23.
So my sublet did not happen! The girl I was supposed to share with got evicted, and I am kind of up a shit creek. I mean, I have a place to stay this week, but after that: no clue. Of course, it could be much worse. I just got my tax refund, I get paid on Friday. But still...this sucks, and there's not much going on…
I can't imagine...if I drink 3 cups of coffee a day, I'm running to the bathroom and shaking a little bit. That much caffeine would kill me.
I think I always was. My background is that I was raised Catholic, and that my family is crazy, so in some ways I had to be. So when I was like 3-4, I loved standing on my chair in the crying room during Mass and doing the same hand gestures as the priest. I really wanted to be a priest. It looked fun, and I thought…
I feel you on this. I had a brief thing with a guy in 2012, and then we were talking one day and he whispered the word "Mexican" like it was dirty. "These Mexicans came in and they had all these children..."
It seems that the place I found for March 1st is falling through. I was supposed to go over with the deposit and stuff today and they texted me that something came up, maybe later in the week, etc. But they never called/emailed/texted to set up a day or time. Also, work needs me for overtime Mon - Fri. So it looks…
LOL pretty much. (He is actually gay — engaged to a guy now.)
