I used to work in recruiting. Your resume is everything. You resume is like an actors’ head-shot—you got about 30 seconds to catch the persons attention or it gets tossed. One page, and I mean it, ONE PAGE long, no messing with fonts sizes or anything. 12 point sans serif font. ONE PAGE. List work experience first,…

That’s a good point too. Like, its totally different if you have a Plan and an end-goal in mind, you knew it was a temporary situation until things got in order, and a goal in mind to save a bit of money and it made sense logistically, and it was a stepping-stone on you future life. You made an adult decision to stay…

GIVE BLOOD: Unless you are an actively sexual gay male (hello Orlando blood banks!), ever worked in the sex industry, have chronic health issues, spent any time at all in the last 5 years in Sub-Saharan Africa where there was Ebola present, ever contracted an incurable STD....The list of exclusions goes on and on.

I seriously hope his parents grow a backbone and kick him out.

Thing is, a properly made and fitted modern corset is surprisingly comfortable to wear all day and very supportive if you have back pain (whilst flattening the belly). They are boned and made of calf leather which is breathable and will naturally conform with you unique body’s shape over time, not cheap elastic that…

Which reminds me, I FINALLY got my class action check from VIBRAM FiveFingers shoes for their false advertising lawsuit (strengthens feet and make you run with less impact). That took almost 3 years to send out those checks, but $70 in the bank, and never buying those shoes again (wearing them worsened my plantar…

Am I the only one that remembers Anne (with and e) Hathaway dated that creepy ponzi-scheme con-man who ripped off the Vatican or something? Rafaello Follieri. And he got deported from the US? Now she’s married to the jewelry maker whose designs are so sub-par and plain ugly I am amazed he makes a living (someone got…

Agree totally. Gaitlin’s another one; Gay came to mind first though, because the length of his suspension was so ridiculously short.

As someone with an invisible illness (herniated disks/chronic back pain), so many people in my life did not believe how much pain I was in, even after my first back surgery. Now I am up for an L3, L4, L5 spinal fusion and I am not even close to 40 years old yet. And still, some folks don’t believe me when I say to…

Good point. Dawn is great for a lot of cleaning jobs around the house. Total grease-cutter.

If they actually banned every athlete who used or is using performance-enhancing drugs, there would be no-one left on the track and field at the Olympics. The sport is filthy with it, and even in countries that regularly test for drug use (hello USA!), still have runners like Tyson Gay and Marion Jones who got away…

While this is indeed hopeful for the victims of online harassment (especially when someone’s life is threatened, which is scary as fuck), police often do NOTHING in cases where women are being harassed face-to-face by their own neighbors.

• If you’re at the doctor’s office it’s better to combine the ‘pain’ of waiting into one segment. The wait will feel shorter to your brain if you spend 20 minutes in the waiting room rather than spending 10 minutes in the waiting room and 10 minutes in the exam room.

ETA2: Obviously rinse it off with cold water after the stain is gone. Any raw chemical left on fabric for too long will destroy it.

For the ladies, the BEST stain remover for ‘that-time-of-the-month’ period blood stains on underwear and other clothes is Hydrogen peroxide. DO not dilute, do not soak the fabric in water first. Dunk it in hydrogen peroxide, and gently agitate the fabric by rubbing the stain against itself or by using an old…

Wow, I am so sorry you and the rest of that flight went through that nightmare Sounds so freaking scary, I’d be peeing my pants. Good to know there was an air marshal on the flight and regular folks are so willing to jump in and lend a hand at risk to their own selves. That’s pretty heartening.

I recognized Jennifer Carpenter immediately (big Dexter fan)—the dude, have no clue, but hopefully he won’t cheat on her like her first husband did.

Well that I did was go to a gay-friendly dance cub in my area, basically made eyes at a cute girl, danced a dance and kissed her a couple times. It was super casual—we didn’t exchange numbers or go home together, but that small action made it clear to me that I like girls even though I primarily date guys.…

First, I am so sorry. It is hard. I broke up with my guy of 2.5 years for similar reasons. He just wanted to date forever, not ever make a commitment (marriage or the like). The thing I did was just sit him down and say—this isn’t working for me anymore. It was hard, because I loved him deeply. But I need someone to…

I have massive student loans, and as a result left academia and got a high-paying job in the private corporate sector. Ironically, I am VASTLY more intellectually challenged and stimulated by my corporate job than I ever was in academic work, and it is far easier to move up and get promoted. Plus, I have enough money…
