It's a quote I need to remind myself of. I've been straightening my hair for just about forever, but that's getting old and getting expensive. I'd like to go back to my natural hair, but it's just sooooo big. Just looked at pics of myself from about 20 years ago when I did long and natural - my lawd... not sure…

Mexican grocery stores and Asian grocery stores - pretty much always cheaper, though you have to pick through the produce a bit more. Even worth it to check out the "ethnic" food aisles at your regular brocery stores - often times things like dried chiles, etc are WAY, WAY cheaper than what you find in th spice aisle…

I try so hard to understand this OD thing, because as you say, we had Duran Duran back in our day. Though I don't think anyone in Duran Duran can talk about hair styles - 80's big hair anyone?? How do you think DD has aged? I think they all look pretty good - well, haven't seen Andy so I have no idea what he's…

It really does seem fantastic. My boss is from Denmark and she always describing leaving her baby downstairs for fresh air while she was up in her apartment with the windows open. I'm more of a "It's takes a village" type of parent, so this seems optimal.

The prettiest cupcakes tend to be the driest in my opinion. I have yet to purchase an outrageously expensive, beautifully decorated cupcake and have it actually TASTE good.

Your statement about being sick with worry about your son's future really resonates with me. I have two young sons; one of my sons looks COMPLETELY white - red hair, light skin, freckles, while my youngest looks mexican or biracial. It will be so interesting as they grow up to see how they are treated in life. It…

Yes!!! It's interesting because we were raised by my Mexican mother, but spent a lot of time with my dad's side of the family. My mom is the child of migrant farm workers, and grew up on the poor side of a major California city - she was already well used to cops and issues that minorities dealt with. I always felt…

Fantastic statement from Jesse Williams. I'm bi-racial, but can say that I've never really been harassed by the cops in my lifetime. My brothers however? Dudes can't move two feet without a policeman stopping jus to "check-in". This shit is real, and it would be lovely for large parts of the country to open their…

It's been a style in certain areas of California cities since the 70's it seems. I grew up in East San Jose and went to elementary school and junior high in the late 70s/early 80s and there were plenty of kids that dressed like this that were NOT in gangs. It is/was/can be more a cultural thing in my opinion.

Oh no, I definitely agree with that. Further discussions with the employee sould/should continue. I just meant that she was claiming she needed a job change because the chemical fumes were causing her to call in sick. If she switches to cashier and continues to have absence issues, follow up with the employee is…

ok. still not very cute.

People love to hate on her, but I think Kim Kardashian is actually pretty nice in person. Vain, vapid and silly? Sure, but still a nice girl.

After working as a HR Manager in retail for 5 years, I completely disagree with this. It is extremely easy to transfer an associate from cleaning to cashier duties. The same training has to happen when they hire brand new employees - which as many people have pointed out, Walmart was still doing. When you have an…

Blue Ivy is not that cute. Between the two, North wins hands down. Prince George is pretty much just about the cutest baby out there right now IMO.

Maybe Eileen can do a Susan/Kristen story on Real Housewives! That would be hilarious!

Lisa Rinna AND Eileen Davidson? this just may bring me back to RHOBH! I imagine Lisa Rinna is just a hyper, overly-Hollywooded mess, while Eileen will be more like "you bitches be crazy!"

At today's interest rates, $800k will actually not earn that much interest. At work, we have a $5.5 million trust account - interest earned in 2013? $28,000k - not an insignificant amount of money but far less than you would expect on a $5.5 million deposit.

That photoshop article was fucking terrible and an embarrasment. I hate when they do those articles. Anyway, I was always under the impression that the writers here *liked* her - certainly all the fawning over Girls being so very important, etc. I guess it changed at some point but since I don't like or get Lena…

I had a '99 Turbo and that car had sooooo many problems I've pretty much sworn off VW forever which is a shame cuz I had been so excited to get the car. Problems were too numerous too list but the especially memorable things were CRAPPY electrics - had window switches go out twice. Also had to have the entire gas tank…

Yeah, I have to agree. There is no context to this chart. Just looking at the California cities, my admittedly uniformed guess would be that these are smaller towns where the bulk of jobs are service industry - waitressing, retail, etc. Also not towns that are especially thriving economically - are women making more…
