Does it make me an ass that I feel very satisfied that Chris Browns opportunities are limited in some small way? Because otherwise he doesn’t seem to be all that impacted by his actions.

Well when in Iowa, you have to make sure to stay for the state fair. So it’s not just corn, but giant turkey legs and butter sculptures and fried everything.

Awww, thanks!

Anyone in LA have a favorite Korean spa? I have earned my weight-loss reward for my first 15 lbs, and realized that I don't actually know which ones the good ones are, and am a little self-conscious about all the naked time in front of other people.

:) Every little bit helps. To be honest though, I have no idea how the un-greying works.

My husband actually runs a home brewing supply store. The one gallon kits are a great intro to the craft for a lot of people, though if he gets really into it he’ll find that 1 gallon of beer goes really, really quickly and he’ll want to get a 5 gallon. Another idea for a gift would be finding a class in your area and…

I’m going to go ahead and have no shame and give myself a little plug here. I’ve been here for years, have had comments that get hundreds of stars, and somehow millihelen (where I actually rarely post) is the only place I’m not grey.

Another Ravenclaw over here!

I can be that asshole for you.

Also that maybe the reason why it suddenly seems like a terrible fit is because he’s either stretched it out or his body is changing? It doesn’t really seem normal to me to expect something to fit exactly the same way over the course of a year or more.

And that’s why I started by saying “for everyday fashion.” Formal events I’d probably budget something like $30–50/wear.

Well there has to be a relationship to price in this conversation. For everyday fashion, $1/day of wear. So if I wear something once a week and am sick of it after a year, that something better cost $50 or less. That also means that I’m fully willing to pay a couple hundred bucks for a good pair of shoes that I’ll…

But he also says that if she came to him in need he’d help her. Maybe he’s just that much of a standup guy, but I’d usually count that as a friend. Either way, as soon as he saw what she was all about, it’s time to fade out.

So essentially, Kim Davis had gay friends as long as they didn’t know her all that well. Then when they see how she really feels they go like this.

I used to like that but have recently been converted to Diorshow. It’s perfect for those of us who are like “fuck all your stupidly shaped brushes and just get the goop on my eyelashes already!”

I would also add: you get either one full armrest or just the tips of your elbows on each. This way, the people next to you get to do the same thing, and you all get an adequate amount of space. What you don’t get to do is monopolize the armrests on both sides of you, forcing your neighbors to lean away just to be…

Inflammation is a bigger cause of stress than my boss? How am I supposed to believe that for a second??

yep, the last time I tried to talk about race in a way that I really hoped would help me see things more clearly, I got burned really badly. The context was that something terrible had just happened to me and I was trying to parse how much of my knee-jerk reactions to people were about race and how much were about…

I would bet that the issue hinges on how people interpret “have the same opportunities.” I know enough super literal people that I’m going to assume a certain percentage of people (of any race) will always say “well, it’s illegal to discriminate in hiring now, and I can apply for the same jobs as anyone, so yes, I…

I think that gives the folks running BLM way too much credit for forethought and organization.
