I for one love yelling on the internet about nothing.
Well, yeah, I think that's to be expected. It sounds like there's some good evidence her employer was negligent, and she had to deal with weeks of hospitalization, the emotional distress that comes with knowing you might die, and what sound like long term consequences to her health.
It's not as expensive as one might think! And SO worth it. I don't take my own advice on this very often, because I just don't wanna go through the fitting process, but when I do I'm so glad I did.
So I'm making an executive decision and we're gonna have a thread where everyone gets to see how cute our dogs are, okay?
It's super creepy and weird, but it really does suddenly change very dramatically all at once. Like, not in a 'I can sorta see how that could be blue and black' it changed to indisputable BLUE and BLACK. For me it changed after I saw a site that had a bunch of blue, grey and gold swatches; I think it re-adjusted my…
Right? Millihelen is the best! I'm not the same size/shape, but I love reading about how everyone styles/dresses themselves! This is so much fun.

It's crazy the way some parents spend their money. Like Chanel bags for teens? Insane. I think it's so great how your parents did it, and you're enjoying your life more because they were smart savers/spenders. I never accepted a car from my parents. I've never had a car, despite them being able to buy me a nice new…
This describes my house perfectly. My house looks like a disaster area and neither of us cares.
I was raised with what I consider working class/immigrant values regarding money (ie, if you are a teenager you don't just get a Chanel handbag for existing, there's nothing wrong with going to public school, etc) but was in actuality, among the highest income families I knew (at the time I didn't know this - I just…
Really rich people inherit quality furniture, so nothing matches because it was all bought in different generations. My mother has three generations of wedding china that she washes in the dishwasher when she has big parties and uses it all.
