The only way I will voluntarily listen to Justin Bieber is if Justin Timberlake is involved somehow.

Oh man, that sucks. I vaguely recall being aware of pads before I got my period, and the idea grossed me out (as they still do) so that probably gave me a bit of fearlessness when embarking on the tampon adventure.

I was around 13 when I got mine, and my older sister had hers, so there were always boxes of tampons in the bathroom. When mine started I just grabbed a tampon and the instructions and figured out how to put it in.

Great work for this girl, but WHY do they wear those outfits for weight lifting??? It doesn't seem like they'd give any more of an advantage of range of motion that just some fitted pants and a shirt.

Oh. my. god.

Here's an article I found discussing the issue locally.

This article seems to explain the issue pretty well. Sounds like the rules don't overtly state what could be considered against code, but it's up for interpretation.

Yeah, I think that's the thing that rubs people the wrong way, the lack of consistency. And it could also be an issue of just rogue security guards dubbing themselves the morality police.

I know this is a different situation, but there are a few similarities to what is going on with a new mall here in Salt Lake City. The property is owned and leased out by the Mormon church, which means it's closed on Sundays, and there is actually a(n unofficial?) dress code.

Actually, I feel like in today's society, if a teacher overheard that, or one of the other children told their parents about it, a visit from CPS would be unavoidable. No action might be taken, but I feel like some people are almost eager to report on parents who they think aren't doing a good enough job.

I had the same question.

I was just responding to the part of your comment where you said she married into fame and money. She was already rich...so...it was relevant to clarifying that point.

Short answer: Yes, they do.

Well, she was super rich via her parents before William came onto the scene, so it's really only the fame part that she married in to.

Not driving does not have to equal not having a driver's license. This is more about not owning a car, rather than not having a driver's license.

I was in a (heterosexual) domestic partnership in NYC for insurance reasons. We broke up, and I asked my ex if we could wait to end the partnership until I was eligible for insurance through a new job in three months, and I would reimburse him the monthly costs. He initially said no, because he wasn't comfortable…

I once declined a set up with a friend of a friend who was unemployed, due to the fact that the guy lived in Provo, Utah and supposedly wanted to become a hip hop artist. The unemployment was the least of the problems.

I'm not sure. I only know about the Amish thing because I dated a guy for years whose family lived in Amish country in Pennsylvania, and thus knew lots of interesting facts about them.

That's the idea behind the Amish and their beards. When they get married they grow out their beard, because you can just slip a wedding ring off, but a wife will notice if suddenly you are clean shaven!

Well, my idea of a "wedding" is really nothing more than a barbeque. No wedding dress, talk a couple friends into manning the grill, and basically just having a little shindig. I don't want the things that normally go along with a traditional wedding. Also, only close friends and family, no cousins, etc.
