They think it’s gross, whether you’re small or large. When you’re on my end, it’s “holy fuck, how can anyone realistically be THIS TINY unless they’re 10?” and when you’re plus sized, it’s “holy fuck, that’s disgustingly FAT/BIG!”

I have tiny feet. A few years ago, a salesman at a super-fancy store told me that they didn’t have anything that would fit me! I didn’t go there for a very long time because he was rude to me. Why? Because my feet are smaller than a size 5.

Depends on where you live. XS (and especially XSP/XXSP) is always the first to go in Toronto and Manhattan. Basically, if you’re smaller than size 4 and larger than size 8, you’re usually out of luck when it comes to selection.

My husband and I had a Matt encounter a few years ago...sort of. We were on vacation in Manhattan and were having dinner at a super-fancy restaurant, a few tables away from us. I don’t think DH was sure who it was at first - only that the guy looked really familiar. Only a few seconds later, did he realize it was…

Exactly. Everyone and their mother asks me if I’m Filipina. I’m also asked if I’m Vietnamese and Indonesian. Chinese people tell me I don’t “look Chinese.”

Religious crazies exist in ALL FAITHS. Because religious crazies are religious crazies. And the vast majority of religions are run by men.

Dear Hollywood,

He looks much better with darker hair! I thought he looked kind of fake on Downton Abbey in an anochornistic way.

Heh. There’s a pizza joint and designer clothing store on the ground floor of my place. And one minute away is a Starbucks. Of course, I live in a condo building in downtown Toronto and there’s some sort of unwritten rule about having Starbucks (or another coffee place) within a five minute walk.

This is why I’ve been pissed off at the Catholic Church since I was 10 (it all started with my Catholic elementary school not handing out UNICEF boxes to us at Halloween. My teacher said it had to do with the UN’s stance on abortion. This was in 1989). Sure, the current pope is cool, but the Vatican in general seems…

Haha. He DOES sound like he’s mummbling half the time. You can’t have a president who mummbles.

Like other people have said, you aren’t supposed to have a shower for child #2.

Why is this guy such a fucking idiot? How did he manage to become a DOCTOR??!!!

I wanted my reception to be a finger food or “cocktail supper” style event, but there was NO f-king way my Chinese parents or my husband’s Jewish parents would go for it (because it isn’t a “real” meal if even if we filled up on appetizers). Besides, the private club where we were going to have our event had all-in…

Most people who DO go to church go once a week. Maybe they can work out a compromise where bike lanes are shut down between, say, 8 AM and 1 PM on Sundays. Or do some church goers just hate cyclists?

Yep, Mike Hukabee + Kim Jong-un = BFF for life!

I didn’t think nannies in North America had uniforms - the ones in Toronto don’t. However, I see that A LOT in Hong Kong.

OMG! That’s MY Halloween costume! If I end up going to a party, anyway.

Ng is usually a Chinese family name - probably southern China/Cantonese speaking. The Anglicized pronunciation sounds like “Ing,” but in Cantonese, it’s more like the “Gn” sound in gnocchi. I believe the Mandarin pronunciation is closer to Wu.

I’ve never read the book, but is Mindy married? If so, Park can be her married name.
