My grandmother took to lying about her age- in her case saying she was born in 1906, not 1904. I told her to go for 10 years, cause 2 years makes you look senile. Go ahead and lie about it, if it makes you feel better. But be sure to think ahead.

Love this. How often do we see bias cuts in fabric anymore? It makes the lines so beautiful, and fluid, while enhancing the body underneath in all the right ways.

I had a cat who spontaneously began to pee in the toilet. We realized it when I and the kids were watching a horror movie on the couch...and the distinct, loud sound of someone peeing in the toilet began. While everyone in the house was on the couch. I steeled myself, walked to the bathroom with a baseball bat- and it…

Yes to this...and it’s because there’s enough Republicans who will vote for a white guy simply because he’s white.

I like your point about how the dynamics of attraction can ebb and flow in relationships, although in Sarah’s case, she seems to be fitfully working through a lot of her issues through her marriage. She wants to be completely, wholly, unreservedly loved, while she cannot love herself in that same way. Perhaps she will…

Candy Corn! My most hated candy on my most loved holiday. The only thing worse in your trick or treat bag was nasty wax lips.

Whoa! I like it.

I like the saying “You wear the dress, the dress does not wear you”. So..either utterly simple nude shoes, or more elaborate shoes than this. Either a lipsticked mouth in a dark color, or an elaborate eye. Expose your face, pull your hair back, do something a bit unexpected with the hair ( I mean, if you want casual…

That’s what you are hearing. I get that. But perhaps you need to realize that a man coming on Jezebel and then being critical of what women are saying on sexism is like a man invading the menstrual hut and complaining that no one put in a comfy couch just for him, and where’s the snacks? There’s literally a million…

Let me help you out here. Men telling women anything about sexism is condescending. Men don’t experience it, and yet, sometimes, some men decide they should be the deciding voice in what is sexism. And how bad it is. And whether it exists at all. Yeah, women get pretty tired of that. In general, surprise, women are…

Those women? They’re funnier than Trevor Noah. But they don’t have a chance at a late night show.

I saw Austen’s grave at Winchester Cathedral- this sounds like more fun.

She repeated the line to the clerk inside. That woman sure had a strange look on her face. Also, she has asked protestors if any of them will “hold her Bowie knife and whiskey for her, cause the pussies inside won’t let it into the exam room with her”. (she’s European born)

You could go full on Frieda Kahlo in there...all lovely lush colors. Orange sounds wonderful.

Pap smears. Pap smears check for changes in cells, so if you have recently had, or still have, say, a yeast infection, trich, what have you...that will affect your pap. Irritated/damaged cells are changed cells, so you can end up with a false positive for a lot of cellular level change that will be gone in 2 weeks.…

Tell the doctor you have never had a non painful pap smear...though you may be describing a painful speculum insertion, I can’t tell. Ask them to use the smallest speculum they have. The pap smear itself...the brush inserted into the os, the opening of your cervix, can be painful. They need a good sample of cells to…

I gave my best friend a ride to PP to show support, we had my 3 year old daughter with us. My friend is blonde, my daughter is blonde, I am not. When the protestors started their bit, mah friend scooped up my daughter, and yelled “They say it’s too late for an abortion, but I want a second opinion!” My daughter…

Do just go in. And defend yourself. If a doctor offends you, tell them. “What you just said was really offensive to me.” Do it for yourself, do it for their next patient. If you don’t like the gyn you have, get another one. Communication is important.

How brave of her to do this. I’m not going to turn away from her because it makes me uncomfortable; her pain was worse.

I really like the mini rollers for painting- they’re 3-4” long, and you need a special roller body. The ones that say cabinets and doors give a really smooth finish. The little rollers don’t spatter and can get back and around that tub...have you considered painting the outside of the clawfoot? I did a bathroom once…
