I'm in that 18% and I can't find a job in IT. This is largely due to the area being oversaturated with grads and my degree being AAS and not BA, but only one interview I've had even took me seriously. Recruiters see I'm female and didn't go to the big tech school here, and their eyes glaze over.

I grew up in upstate NY, did girl scout stuff including winter lodge living and snow sports, and I was in the military for years. I can't believe someone even wrote that as a serious article. PUT ON SOME (more) CLOTHES. Cold weather is extremely dangerous, especially the way it's been in the north east this year.

I weep for humanity.

I will freely admit that I have not and will not read those shit books, but based on the excerpts I HAVE read, and all the articles I've read around here, honestly? I WANT her to stick her fingers in as much as possible. From everything I've heard they just get worse and worse. Please, bring the abusive relationship…

She's got crazy eyes. Not the wide open, obviously crazy, but the half-lidded, lizard brain, "not-quite-in-the-same-reality-as-the-rest-of-you", sort of way.

Or at the very least, take your drunk ass outside. I was still kind of new to drinking so I overdid it at my friend's wedding (I think the first I went to as a solo adult), but at least I took it back to my room before I got sick.

I guess that makes the mud on my shoes and dress, and the blister from the cheap shoes, and my silly friend climbing into a (small) gorge with a creek and subsequently falling on the slippery rocks for a photo op portents instead of casualties?

May I borrow this little tale and adapt it for a best selling novel? Please? I mean, it's not like I'll ever actually get around to writing it, what with the horrid procrastination, but I can dream.

Right there with you =/

I am sincerely glad for you, and all other posters who do. My mother died when I was fifteen and I am still finding ways she hurt me - last summer after issues with my husband, I went to therapy and realized, upon hearing the words come out of my own mouth about how growing up, that she was emotionally abusive (as…

I've got that friend as well. She showed me one picture of the guy who knocked her up, and I thought he looked ok, and then I met him in person and was all

Awwww...

May I ask what the symptoms are? I'm not a big fan of them so I don't eat them often, and the last time I did, my throat and mouth felt all tingy/itchy for a while after. It was really bizarre.

Out of curiosity what's your take on sriracha in hummus? (Mind you this doesn't work in all hummus, just the bland kinds).

I kinda like the guy despite the fact that he sort of sounds like a train wreck in his personal life. One of the 'observe from afar' things.

I'm not gonna lie, I started using Pinterest to promote my ebay business, but I'm completely hooked at this point. However, I would not use it to snark the hell out of someone 'just because'. I say that with plenty of options of people to do that to.

I find her absurd, and most people in the same mindset, but I also have to wonder about some stuff. For example, the BPA in plastic, and the movement to ban it... considering how prevalent plastic is now compared to pre-WWII (although I'm no expert on when they really ramped up production). Perhaps there really is…

Mostly icicles in my mind, but I live in the currently deeply frozen North.

I remember when Fable came out - I worked at EB back then. There was SO much hype around that game. I personally really looked forward to it. Pretty much all I remember now is being called 'chicken kicker' by the townsfolk, and that I realized my character wasn't strong enough in any focus to actually complete the…
