Christianity is apparently like Choose Your Own Adventure. She can pick out the stuff she likes (hating gays, long denim skirts) and ignore the stuff she doesn’t (divorce is bad).

I don’t even get how he was killed. He was a uniformed officer with a gun on his hip (and likely had a long gun of some type in the car). Doesn’t having your own gun stop gun violence? Did he just not have enough guns in this case? Please help me with this, NRA.

Totally agree on all points. I have very strong social anxiety to the point I can’t eat at the in-laws holidays and I sweat profusely if I have to be in someone’s presence for more than a couple minutes. However, all that aside I’ve taken on those customer service jobs.

I think it would be entirely fair to refuse to marry him under those circumstances. Money is a Big Fucking Deal. It is about your standard of living, your ability to trust this person to be a partner, and ultimately it is about your own financial security if the relationship goes tits-up. You deserve better than to…

Just curious: do customers at museum shops tend to act pretentious and imagine they are intellectuals for being there? I had some pretty funny customers during the hot minute I worked at an indie bookstore. They’d slap their Dan Brown paperbacks on my counter with the unrestrained hauteur of someone who thinks he’s…

Yes, especially to your second point- a ticked off customer. Listen, and then say “I’m sorry that happened.” It deflates about 98% of them, they just want to be heard- without in any way locking you into fixing their problem, which may not be fixable.

I agree re: social anxiety and being introverted. A lot of people talk about “emotional labor” now, and I’m glad that it’s getting some attention as a piece of one’s work that requires a lot of effort, but for me at least it really did help with my anxiety and depression. I’m still the kind of person who needs to…

Once, my mom and dad told us they were giving us the house for the weekend while they were taking a cruise. I was 18 and I was going to have friends over. It was going to be a fantastic weekend!

I’m not sure people realize you can turn overdraft protection off. This way debit and ATM transactions are declined. Resulting in no fees! Of course if you write a bad check that is a different story.

One caveat for Huntington; this only applies to checking accounts. I believe they still require you to maintain a $300 minimum balance to avoid any fees associated with your savings account.

His rationale for such a decision is two-fold Huckabee explained, it protects both fetus and mother: “There are two victims. One is the child; the other is that birth mother who often will go through extraordinary guilt years later when she begins to think through what happened — with the baby, with her.

We actually have a lot about them, but we don’t talk about them as much because Louisiana is literally a place where you can buy liquor in a paper bag from the gas station and take it to go to drink on the street. The world is your depressed silent bar here.

Drew, I understand all this. Ok? I do. But for Chrissake, spend ONE WEEKEND in New Orleans. Have dinner at Commander’s Palace, hit up Frenchmen St. for a while, eat a beignet or two. And besides, they have more than enough bars featuring drunk and depressed people with no live music, like the Three Legged Dog. Come…

They could also do a “Get to know the players” section where you get to see which players have charges for violence against women

Yes, the payment options are not shared to the children. Nothing that authorizes payments, in fact, will be shared to the children. However, from the sounds of Amazon’s page about Household, on the matter, the card sharing between the two adults is mandatory:

Here is the number #1 (no pun intended) rule of etiquette for multi-stall bathrooms: If you are done with your business and the other door that was shut when you got there is still shut, someone is holding onto their poop for dear life, praying that you will hurry up and leave. Please move along. Hopefully someone…

1. Everything about this is amazing, I will be devastated if they ever break up.

You know what it is, you just have to admire the person you’re with. I gotta look at Coco and say, Coco’s the baddest model, she does her shit, girls love her, they wanna be her, she’s such a sweetheart, she’s the nicest person I ever met. And Coco has to be able to look at me and say, Ice has done a lot of shit, he…

COCO: You know what, I feel like I’ve been a part of Jezebel’s lives for a very long time! I’ve been on Jezebel since, I think, day one!

Best thing I ever bought my cat was a cardboard tank. She loves it because it’s essentially just a box, and I get to enjoy watching her dumb little face pop out of it.
