Remember before the Internet when people just fucking proposed with a goddamn ring in a champagne glass/piece of chocolate cake/etc.?

She was super gorgeous. I mean...

Yesterday there were parents with toddlers that were literally letting their kids learn how to climb stairs. Like one pass up and down the flights would have been no problem but they did it for HOURS. They seriously thought that the servers carrying 60 lbs of drinks upstairs would be SO CHARMED by waiting on their…

Parenting: you're doing it right.

That's an important metric - any bartered sex act can't take longer than the actual chore itself.

Oh Jesus, saying it about somebody's kids is NEXT LEVEL. Too scared of the repercussions to EVER go there.

Oh come now, I've known plenty of New Englanders who could teach graduate-level seminars in passive-aggression.

I'm trying to remember if I've ever heard "bless your LITTLE heart" in a sincere context. As far as I can recall, if the LITTLE gets stuck in there, you know the referent is a fucking idiot.

I can't imagine this working. Washing the dishes has got to be easier than giving a BJ, and takes less time too.

I just want to be sure I'm following this.

I want Gloria Steinem to be my cool aunt. We'll get wasted at wine bars and bitch about The Man.

Do what Schweddy said and got try them at the department store. Once you know if you like fruity scents or woody or floral you ask the person at the fragrance counter to show you some in the scent family you like. Smell them on the paper after the first spritz and then after a few minutes to see the different notes.…

Coffee grounds (fresh or used) are great exfoliants as well.

Thank you. I agree exactly—the line is incredibly difficult to mark, and I don't think is done well on the internet. The best I could come to try to articulate it is sort of buried in one of the questions—that there's a both/and about this, both that people's economic and political and temporal circumstances are…

I don't believe everyone's pain is "equal," and say as much explicitly in the interview, and literally end the intro by saying "I can't say I've had it anything but easy." I think my experience is relevant to an introduction of this book, its author and the controversy around her original article. I think that you're…

So, like, I care about the fishies and nature and all, but one time I got one of those things in my eye. I was staying somewhere else post-Hurricane Sandy and had given birth literally 2 weeks prior. I am not exaggerating when I say the pain was on par with the pain post-birthing. And I couldn't see out of one eye for…

They've also done similar economic indexes based on skirt length, though they haven't been heavily peer reviewed. According to the more recent studies, hems supposedly drop when the economy does. ( +/- 3 years).

Weird as it is, one of the hardest things to throw away when I cleaned out my Mom's apartment after her death was her lipstick collection. She was of the generation for whom lipstick was your Ur-cosmetic. A sign that you were truly ill or gravely injured was a conspicuous absence of lipstick. Even when the budget was…

But the next red might be the PERFECT red. And the next fuchsia might be the PERFECT fuchsia. KEEP GOING.

I've been told more than once that Black Honey is "universally flattering" and "looks good on everyone." It does not look good on me. At all. Nothing that's every been sold to me that way has ever worked out and I need to just stop.
