That cover was the worst! And as I recall the ed chief blamed it on being new to the publication.

I don’t know why she couldn’t have just directed you to where you needed and wanted to go. And what’s worse is she probably thought she was complimenting you.

I’ve had bad nasal congestion this week and my sister suggested I get the netti pot. I think I’ll settle for Vapo Rub after reading this.

Same. I thought we learned from our early-aughts mistake, with the sweatpants that had “juicy” and “pink” plastered on the butt.

People need to shut the hell up!

Fuck. This is why I no longer run outdoors, I can’t handle the harrassment. I’m so sorry this has happened to you. But you’re being bothered at the gym too?!

They generally are, and have flat stomaches! An hourglass is such an easier figure to shop for and dress. I’m a size 10, but because I have the dreaded apple shape body (no waist and I gain weight primarily in my mid-section), I’m very limited in what I can wear. I’m too “small” for Lane Bryant yet much too big for…

Went to college in the PNW and laughed so hard at this. Spot on.

Wow, that’s a new level of lame. I would have been so pissed! What did you do that night? Did you leave or did you wind up going out and then ending things the next day? Glad you ended things, could you imagine what a relationship with a man that lazy would be like?!

Shit. I just wrote a response to you as though you were a man, based off what other commenters said.

Lots of great advice was given here so far. My addition: If you’ve managed to make a connection and it’s at that point where you both have agreed to meet up, please have a destination/plan in mind to suggest to her for the date.

San Diego is also nice in a similar respect. Nearly everyone (myself included) seems to be from elsewhere and is pretty friendly, so it’s easy to make friends here. I learned quickly that people in this town LOVE happy hour and their brew pubs, and I actually made some worthwhile connections by meeting people in bars…

I wish I could give you more stars. And now it’s story time:

They might as well just cut to the chase and say “I think I’m better than you,” because that’s essentially what they’re doing.

My ex boyfriend is from San Antonio, a city that I’ve never been to but that I’d like to visit someday (guisada, barbecue, I’m sold!) He said I seem like someone who would like Austin. Now I’m offended by his statement.

Initiating a date and then not having a plan or destination in mind for the date is such a turn off. You can’t be bothered to think of or look up a coffee/gelato shop nearby we could meet at? No thanks.

I agree. Kids have it so much worse now because of technology and social media. As a kid and teen in the 90s the worst thing that existed was maybe a slam book. You got some respite from a bully at the end of the school day, at least, now it continues online. If you got into a fight after school, the whole thing would…

Las Cuatro Milpas is worth the drive! After reading this thread I have to have their beans and rice this weekend.

I was just about to say that, those are the best!

And why are so many things on the menu surrounded by quote marks?
