I agree with you, this is definitely about race. I guarantee that nobody who hasn’t dressed her before would happen to have a form lying around that would suit Bernadette Peters, but the designers love dressing her. She’s much shorter than any runway model with a much greater bust-to-waist ratio than most to all of…

You are completely correct. And in order for me to take someone seriously as an artist, their work has to go against the status quo, and not conform to the exact same aesthetic as everyone else. These people aren’t about THEIR individual aesthetic. They’re just copying an aesthetic that’s popular today. Designers who…

I feel your wife’s pain. I had my 1st Gen Moto X replaced recently, to the tune of $100, and used a galaxy S6 in the meantime. Much nicer phone admittedly but the problem is, I am 5'2", and I really could only use that phone sitting down with 2 hands. It was too big for me to hold securely in one hand, let alone use,…

I would say, be able to actually do and file your own taxes, not just gather up the stuff. I only had an accountant do mine once, because mid-year I converted a sole proprietorship into an S-Corp, and that was a bit more than I wanted to research for a situation I was never going to encounter again. I always inwardly…

I have a couple of guys I am friends with and whom I chat with, and we share some interests that my husband does not share. I am not interested in being emotionally orphysically intimate with these other guys, but if I start talking to my husband about something and he says, “Ugh, I’m busy, I’m trying to do something,…

I do write, and I find that it is super easy to come up with ideas and that I come up with about 5 x as many ideas as I will ever have time to execute, so I keep a list of the ones I am least excited about executing, and every time one of my writer friends says they are blocked, I send them my list. Worst case…

White commenter who agrees 100% w/Effyew. Probably helps that I’m a female from an isolated poor rural community and always just assumed I would have to create any opportunity I wanted. I don’t have a lot of respect for anyone who seeks to create change through complaint rather than actions. You are a woman and you…

I am trying to figure out why I wouldn’t just go to bed if I was done with the computer, Kindle, work, and eating. I guess I could move my shower to night time, but then I would be going to bed with wet hair.

I actually run a show at 10 PM Monday nights (I know, not a great date time) but there’s no ticket, no drink minimum, and it’s not open mic, it’s invitational. 1st Mondays are all stand-up and the others have a mix of sketch, stand-ups, and improv. It’s in the basement of The Triple Crown in Manhattan.

EXACTLY. Since they don’t know who the person is, the only way they could gather that this was confidential info from an employee were if they were aware that these issues were true.

My main thing - I am in acting and production, nad because of that, my survival jobs are also flexible, and the flexibility is expected from me too. Don’t ask me if I can have dinner 3 weeks from Wed. If I have to commit now, I have to say no, even though once we reach that day, I just may be lying on my sofa…

We actually make our own! We go on the sweeter side but because we like to have a shot as dessert.

Due to some recent medical expenses and related time not working, I am approx. 65k in the hole. I would like to cut that down to zero by the end of the year and have a 3-month emergency fund as well.

I do it too!

I had neighbors that seemed not to need to work during the day. They blasted loud music every night until around 3 or 4 in the morning. And I mean loud as in, I turned on a fan and earplugs and could still hear it. I had to get up at 6.
After trying everything nice, I got up one morning, put my earplugs in, turned on…

It actually makes me sick when I go to a mall, as I see so many people buying useless crap at inflated prices that they can’t afford. It’s why I stopped going to malls.

I lost my mom when I was 30. I find that one of the more difficult things is that when my friends complain about how tough it is for them because their grandparent died and it’s hard on their mom, I have to say something other than, “Man, what I wouldn’t give to trade places with you today! You don’t even know what…

I have had my Brother PTouch for years, and it has always worked perfectly, and I have never said, “I wish it did...”. Super easy to use too.

I don’t disagree with you. When I was saying I didn’t have a problem with people praying firrst, I meant in general, not in an emergency situation. If someone needed to pray about calling 9-1-1 in this situation, that wouldn’t make them devout, it would make them a moron.

I have no problems with people who pray for guidance in what action to take, or pray along with taking action. I don’t happen to think it is effective, but I can understand why someone who is religious would feel they should pray. I think it says something about a person, though, when the ONLY form of “help” they can…
