But think of his future, you can’t just ruin it because he’s a horrible person!

She’s the Michelle Williams that used to be in Destiny’s Child and not the one who has been nominated for a few Oscars.

Same. Although Googling him clarified that I was thinking of the wrong Michelle Williams. I was so confused why Ms Indie Pixie would be on The Breakfast Club or making a big deal about abstinence before marriage. 

It seems far more popular in the U.S. than Germany. A result of heavy marketing at US college kids. 

Hot and sour soup. It is so effective it has been helping with my morning sickness. I usually have a few quarts in the freezer for when heating something on the stove is the extent of my powers.

Ugh, yes, demanding likability of women (real or fictional) is shitty. I still think she’s giving Carrie Bradshaw way too much credit. I definitely resented that she was supposed to be the one that women related too while surrounded by caricatures. She was just awful all the time and uninteresting. There was just…

You and me both, sister. My kid dropped to about +1 at 38 weeks and I was all ready to go. A day shy of my induction date 41w4d, labor started, dilating and all that happened but my kiddo wasn’t going anywhere. To his credit, my OB was happy to let things go naturally until my blood oxygen and my baby’s heart rate…

Seconding the call for the gift of time. And when you offer it, have a plan to suggest instead of “what do you need?” Saying, “I’m coming over to do laundry, clean your kitchen, and deal with all diaper changes while I’m there unless there’s something else you need me to do.” is way more helpful than showing up and…

This sounds amazing, but not quite $15 amazing for three small tubes. 

The rally managers don’t have eclectic tastes, they just keep getting fired when some insane Trump demand isn’t met, like showing him in gold during his speech. 

It might not be so bad if carob could just be itself and not fake chocolate. It can never deliver on that promise. I grew up with some kids who had super crunchy parents and didn’t eat chocolate. They seemed quite happy to eat carob. 

Sadly, being a racist asshole won’t fail you for character and fitness. You basically just get affidavits from previous employers and internship placements attesting that you mostly behaved yourself. If you have a criminal record or major debt outside of student debt, you’ll have to explain that as well. I think the…

I received a bequest of a few hundred dollars from my great aunt with the note to “do something memorable.” So, for my 30th birthday, my husband and I had a prix fixe dinner with drink pairings at a 2 michelin star restaurant. It was perfection down to the last detail. I’m really glad I wore a dress with an empire…

I love every inch of this story and your picture. There have been some great stories but this is extravagance personified and perfect down to the last detail. 

Sounds like a solid guess to me.

There was always at least one house handing out some carob-based shit that got us excited we were going to have some sort of fancy chocolate. 

Which neighborhood? The weirdest stuff I ever got was pennies and that’s apparently pretty mild. We also got grateful dead temporary tattoos, but liked those. 

I don’t recall the brand, but the Costco near my grandmother’s carried a great option. This was in an area where fresh tamales are plentiful so we weren’t buying them out of desperation. They were genuinely good. 

Tamales are best made in a group, with a couple people per role. After a while, making a bunch more for someone to take home doesn’t add that much effort. Then again, they’re even easier to just buy, especially if you don’t have space for 50 of them at home. 

On the one hand, money and influence enough to rival the Vatican. On the other hand, never a moment’s peace and stiflingly heavy self-imposed “traditions” and restrictions. I’d opt for anonymity and independence.
