My aunt did that with her 3rd husband. They had a kid together, everything was in both their names, and he was out of a job/in debt, so she didn’t want to lost all of her assets to him in an ugly divorce battle. They were separated and living together until the divorce finalized. And then they still lived together (he…

I actually like some Jessica Simpson items. They’re moderate quality, not too expensive, and usually pretty cute. I don’t like how high her heels are, but that’s a beef I have with almost every shoe designer except Cole Haan and those comfy shoe brands.

I respectfully disagree. He was super cute around the time when Aaron’s Party came out, but I’m also the same age as him so it was a totally respectable crush at the time. Remember when he and Hillary Duff dated? Tween majesty. It was Britney and JT lite.

I’m also having a hard time figuring out where I stand. My brother served jail time b/c of possession with intent to sell (dumb-shit) and I definitely don’t want it to define his future. BUT football players across the country are constantly associated with rape and gang-rape cases. He’s not some random kid that did…

I get where you’re coming from and am perfectly ok with him going to college and trying to move past the horrible crime he committed as a teenager, but I feel as though joining the football team is not the way.

I get where you’re coming from and am perfectly ok with him going to college and furthering his education, but I feel as though joining the football team is not the way for him to grow beyond his past. There’s a reason that football players are associated with rape and gang-rape. This isn’t some wholesome after-class…

That’s fantastic! It sounds like you are both in the same place emotionally. I’m sure y’all will decide whenever the best time to get hitched is that fits your relationship.

That’s miraculous. I never understand how people can get married so quickly. It takes me longer to decide whether or not to buy a pair of shoes (I’m also cheap).

That’s a great question. I remember thinking during date 2 or something, “I could definitely marry this guy.” Everything clicked immediately. We went through a couple of rough times - I was miserable at and then quit my job without a backup, under-employed for about 4 months, brief medical issue - but came out even…

Question (because I’m too lazy to look it up): is La Croix made in La Croix, WI? I pronounce it la-croy, but my pretentious-as-fuck sister-in-law pronounces it as though it’s French. It makes me want to strangle her with the yoga mat she travels with everywhere.

She also started dating/sleeping with him when he was still married to his first wife. She must have known that the possibility of infidelity was always on the table.

I don’t want Scaramucci to get any sort of leeway with being a shit human being, but come on. His almost ex-wife started dating/sleeping with him in 2011 back when he was still married to his first ex-wife. They were “separated,” but didn’t divorce until 2014, in which he got married to this lady almost immediately…

Ahhh I love that name!

Yeah, I vaguely remember their charity events and causes. Also, The Hills was initially about trying to “make it” in the real world with actual jobs. Yes, they brought in *~*drama*~* via broken friendships, but LC and Whitney actually worked for Teen Vogue and some of the story-lines were about job responsibilities,…

Right? Girl’s got some moves, too!

You also have to have majorly thick skin and a great poker face when dealing with idiots.

WOW. Holy. Fuck. Good for you for keeping your wits about you throughout the ordeal and being able to leave voluntarily unscathed. I’m so sorry about the friends you lost both literally and figuratively during and after the situation. However, the Red Road studies sound interesting. Continue sharing your stories!

Hey! I’m stuck in the office while half our staff is gone, too! Granted, it’s because half of them get Friday afternoons off and I get Monday mornings off, but still. It’s quiet and I’m so ready to go home.

Awww that sounds very familiar. My family always had one big family tree with all of our homemade and gifted ornaments on it and my mom had her “fancy” tree, which was one of those half-trees that you put up against the window. We weren’t allowed to touch it because it had the pretty, color-coordinated breakable…

Correction: he thinks we’re up in arms over $12 per YEAR.
