I’m an apple shape and have to avoid skinny pants like the plague because they make me look exactly like a tomato on a toothpick and sack dresses make me look like a potato. If you’re an apple shape, look for A line dresses with an empire/gathered waist right below the boobs, it flatters everything good we have and…

They’re probably the same people who tried to convince us “brown diamonds” were the new “super in” thing. Haha, nice try, I don’t think so.

I have zero sense of fashion but I’ve found cardigans help camouflage pretty much anything. You’ll have to pry the cardigans out of my cold, dead hands.

This is basically what I wear around the house, but only because nobody sees me in it.

Only if you completely destroy the environment while you’re at it, apparently.

No. Noooooo.

Holy crap you’re my new hero. I will be doing this now from here to eternity.

That’s exactly the situation I had in mind. I had to forward an email to my boss’s boss’s boss once, the email thread completely covered in blue gingham. I was mortified.

Oh yeah. And the colored, calligraphic signature that’s so stylized you can’t actually decipher their contact information unless you copy/paste it to another document.

Call the airline and ask. If the airline can’t help or accommodate this type of request before hand, then that’s his problem to solve, or to suck it up and deal with it.

My thoughts exactly. She’s elderly, a Holocaust survivor, same religion, and willing to stick with this lawsuit at her age. If anyone should have been shown respect by this gentleman, it’s her, and it puts the ludicrousness of the demand in such high relief.

She’s the Holocaust survivor. Not sure if that changes your opinion or not.

Yup. It’s once again displaying loud and clear the assumption that men have no self control nor any expectation of learning it, that they’re not responsible for their actions. Not only is it a technique to control women’s behavior ( “you must moderate your behavior around me or else” ) it’s a disservice to men as…

“There was a general principle that a person should not put himself in a dangerous situation.”

Oh, no, I get it. Especially after reading your other posts explaining where you’re coming from. But given the line is directly quoted from someone else’s post, I was a little taken aback, and got a little overly snarky in my reply. I apologize as well.

I agree inasmuch as I don’t care for the c word at all, refuse to use it, cringe when I hear it, and do not encourage it when I hear it used around me. That said, the poster is (clearly) British and as much as I personally don’t like it, the word does have a very different standard of usage there. If you’d like to…

While I fully applaud slamming the proverbial door on Orange Fruitcake’s visit attempt, I’m a little sad we won’t get to witness:

Nope, my family hailed from the Midwest US; so whatever unholy influence this was, it crossed the oceans, my friend.
