Patrick Stewart lives in my neighborhood and he wants all the people with strollers to walk in a designated lane in the street, so he’s not mildly inconvenienced. He also married a waitress from the local fancy pizza place who’s 40 years younger than he is.

So I feel the need to share this with other Martha fans. Anybody else remember Martha By Mail? Long before the internet and such, she operated a business via catalogue and phone. Anyways, Saturday I was at a thrift shop and found her yellow ware three piece mixing bowls. The entire set priced for $8. I nearly screamed…

For a baby shower for one of my best girlfriends, I bought a ton of super cute baby clothes on clearance. I spent less than $5 on ADORABLE stuff.

“...a show I wasted six goddamn years of my life watching and a decision I’m clearly not yet at peace with.”

You’re acting like Columbia is Wharton or something. The African-American representation in Columbia is around 13%, which is on par with the national population. It’s also 14% Latino and 25% Asian. It is 40% white. I would hardly call that overhwelmingly white. Especially compared to most other universities in the…

College is not mandatory...

Young people are subject to lots of pressure, and those pressures are intensified during college. She also had the added pressure of being African-American in an overhwelmingly white environment, carrying the responsibility of an academic scholarship, and being subjected to a lot of expectations. Was this the most…

I was a Type-A student in high school, and when I got to college the increased difficulty and alienation from teachers/ classmates (in classes of about 100 kids!) combined with severely declining mental health caused me to crumble. I started sleeping 24/7, missing classes, and failing them. I was strongly considering…

A kid I knew from boarding school also did this, disappeared and it appeared there was foul play involved, but in actuality he was hiding out. Can’t fully speak to his state of mind, but from everything I heard it definitely sounded like he was under a lot of pressure, external and internal.

Good luck! Basically working as many practice problems as possible is the best way to go. That way you can a) get practice, and b) figure out if there’s a type of question or specific concept you don’t get so you can review formulas/strategies for that in particular.

I feel your pain. The contact eater is 4 and has only been fully potty trained since March.the yard shitter however is nearly 6 and just wanted to copy the dog.

I took a prep course this spring and found it a bit helpful. Most people in it were jamming it in before taking the exam but people really need to study further ahead of time. I’m taking it in the fall and will be spending at least an hour or two studying everyday until then.

I had a rescue litter of puppies and OMG it was fun, but it was so much work! The hardest part is keeping everything tidy. It was an amazing experience. You’ll do great. Have fun!

Oh god, they start with the humping right away. My dad’s girlfriend has my dog’s brother and the number of times I’ve pulled him off of her while telling him to “get off your dang sister”...I can’t even count. Fucking Brutus. Got a little better after he was neutered.

I have had a hellish week at work. I had my annual review and my score or whatever was “does not meet expectations”. There have been a lot of problems in the office, we had a new chair, etc etc, and some of that is because of me, but the other half is because I don’t have any support. My supervisor is terrible, I’ve…

I swear to God I have had it with anyone who says teachers are too whiny about our pay\benefits.
My father passed away at the beginning of this month. I only have 10 sick\vacation days per year, which I had already used by the time he passed- some of those days, by the way, were spent taking care of him, and one day…

I love when women watch out for other women

I have this MIL also. She kept it up for a while, and then she attacked me in front of my husband once, and was rewarded with him withdrawing from her completely. So she stopped doing that and started playing nice. Then everyone got along mostly, so she switched to passive aggressive criticism of our relationship (but…

My senior year of high school I ended up in a face-to-face screaming match with the director of the fall musical(Joseph and that fucking coat), who had been a teacher I looked up to. There were several reasons that led up to it, but the paramount issue was my vocal, vehement disagreement with the fact he had put all…
