Why is this writer still employed?

And light years ahead of us when it comes to gun control policies.

You are lucky. I HAVE to wash my hair everyday, no matter how active/inactive I am because I have an oily scalp. If I feel lazy/not up to it and skip just one day of washing, my hair will look gross and terrible, and I have yet to find a dry shampoo that really works for me. I recently spent too much on Oscar Blandi’s…

I’m not sure whether to be in awe or horrified by your friend. But I bet she’d be an amazing party planner/marketing manager.

Have you told her how you feel? Or considered telling her that you’re tired of hearing about it?

And isn’t the pay high at these gossip rags? I don’t feel bad for them.

Ugh. This isn’t Jackie Christie-level of being controlling but it shows there’s jealousy and insecurity issues.

I have a hard time comprehending. Then again, I live in San Diego where bars start to get busy at 3 p.m.

Something else is going on in your friend’s life that is causing him to be lame. How is his marriage? Does he only bail on you or is he doing it to other people, too?

Why not arrange a day/night out in advance so you can see these friends without their kids? I don’t quite understand why your interactions with them is limited to get togethers/parties at their place, where they’re stuck with all their kids (that’s what I am imagining based on your post). Your friends are also…

I don’t find it strange at all. I agree with the comment that said you used the wedding as an opportunity to have a good time with your best friend. But I also don’t subscribe to the idea that your plus one to a wedding HAS to be someone you’re dating/intimate with. It’s a party! Bring whoever you want. I also…

I didn’t know Cipro could cause that side effect! Sorry that happened to you.

I received one of Rick Bayless’ cookbooks as a gift. While it was a great read and gave me a new sense of appreciation for how diverse Mexican cuisine is and certain dishes that I love, I’m too intimidated to try out any of the recipes. They are involved and seem so complicated.

Sounds like they need a dish now named “Murderous.”

I’ve seen chocolate laxatives too. I’d rather use that (when needed) instead of tea.

My experience has been similar. My lactose intolerance issues peaked during my early 20s, I couldn’t handle sour cream, Ranch dressing and soft cheeses. Now that I’m older (late 30s) I don’t have this issue with these foods anymore, the only thing I can’t have is straight-up milk.

Totally jealous! Do report back!

nothing in this line is made for actual exercising

Thank you! Same thing happens here in San Diego, everyone constantly talks about how expensive it is, and I just smile. Because I know that if they were to visit my home state (Hawaii), they’d absolutely shit their pants at the price of groceries, housing, and other basic necessities.

Kerry Washington is so photogenic that you’d have to put a lot of effort into making her look bad. Still can’t believe that numerous people on the editorial staff approved this image.
