Yes. Don’t let “perfect” get in the way of good.

I usually feel that way based on financial and foreign policy, but right now there is such a clear difference on domestic/social stuff that there’s no question.

She even looks like she's laughing at some inner secret, daring whoever's behind the camera to catch her. If I ever made a face like that the person behind the camera would be like "what's wrong with you? are you mad at me or something?"

I wondered about canned corn too—later in the summer corn on the cob is great value, often 4 for a dollar. But in springtime wouldn’t canned or frozen be the better choice?

yeah, the beans, eggs, tortillas, and rice are pretty good values. I’m betting she’ll regret that avocado though, the price for that could probably have bought a whole other dozen eggs.

Except that she DID work there in like, season 1 or 2.

Things we did to save...

I think it was an "unprofessional" comment, which does encompass a bit of provocativeness. Just looking at the way the two of them dress, Joan tends to look more like she could be going out on a date as much as going to the office—with Peggy there's no mistaking it. Though her necklines aren't low by today's…

I think what they were going for was a symmetry between her and Ken both becoming "the client" in this one. While Ken became a client of SCP, Joan became the client at her old place of business (the department store, where the girl working there *was* correct in recognizing her). It's totally a power thing, because…

On the other hand, guys can wear suits year-round while women who take advantage of those options have to have different attire for every season. The expanded options are definitely a double-edged sword: they can be more comfortable at times, but also carry additional risk of judgement as well as additional cost.

maybe the start to the solution is just, make sure we give women’s ideas and input at least as much credit as we’re giving men’s? Depending on the situation, that may be a negative (disregarding male opinions when we feel it’s appropriate) or a positive (boosting up other women) action.

I think the issue is more than men get more credit for their actions and are perceived as more authoritative in general (yes, by both men and women, as vraiment’s example illustrates). I think when a woman automatically assumes that a man is more experienced than her and reacts as such, that contributes to the problem…

Even if you don’t do a full punch, you can just accidentally knock into their face a little and be like “oh whoops, sorry!”

In addition to the many great suggestions above, I would teach that money loves company. This is a concept that I've learned from my husband, who works with real estate brokers at his day job. They just think about money differently than I was ever taught to. They don't see it as something you need and spend to get…

But isn't it the day to day habits that set you up to handle the big things in a better way? Sure student loan debt can be a killer, but it's your day to day habits that help manage that debt. Medical catastrophe's happen, but having health insurance and building up an emergency fund can help you weather those…

The biggest thing I wish I'd done is had some tasks set up for my inlaws to do when they arrived in town. Everyone arrived en masse and we lived in this tiny tiny house and they were all looking at me to tell them what to do and I jut felt overrun and overwhelmed. So if you have some things that you know will need to…

I've got the curly red hair (of the irish & welsh variety), and let me assure you I can hide things in it just fine.

on the other hand the only time I've ever gotten the full-body pat down was on a Paris>Rome flight on RyanAir.

Mine kept turning towards the laptop with a startled look like, "is there another cat in my house? Are you CHEATING ON ME???"
