PDX girl here and laughing at the truth of our Coscto-jeans-Columbia-sportswear elite! As a kid, the kids who wore Columbia rain jackets were clearly the rich kids!

Agreed, with some exceptions for levels of celebrity. Worked in the Ruth Chris attached to the Grand Hyatt, next to the theaters for a few years, so we’d get sports teams, bands, and then a fairly standard smattering of more well to do business folks and leisure travelers.

You assumed she actually did it? I assumed it was a work of fiction. Realistic fiction of what would probably have happened, but I didn’t for one minute believe she actually made those phone calls. Huh.

One of my friends in high school was the daughter of the guy who owned the toy company that bought and produced/sold the supersoaker.

Hair salons in NY that are trying to stay afloat at lowered capacity while also dealing with the increased costs and stress associated with all of the new state regulations for COVID-19.

Why are you surprised that receptionists at random hair salons are not wasting their time entertaining a random phone caller’s random questions about extensions at the RNC?

Right. And the person it turned out to be was her, during a financially crippling pandemic that necessitated the service being repurposed in that manner in the first place, all for incredibly dubious reasons.

If she hadn’t exploited this loophole someone else would have, and these regulations would happen either way

I guess if we weren’t going through a historic pandemic where most of these sex workers would be using onlyfans as a supplemental income I might agree. But there are a ton of people that are getting their work devalued as a direct result of this. If someone else did this then sex workers would be very justifiably mad…

That happened to me too!!! I woke up one morning to a note on the kitchen counter and all of his stuff gone. I knew my ex-husband was cheating on me but it wasn’t until several years later that I found out he identified as “queer” (his label choice). As a straight white woman you can imagine I was dumbfounded, but it…

For me, it was learning my ex-husband, who gave no reason for wanting a divorce (he was just “done being married”) was gay through mutual friends on social media, nearly 3 years after our divorce was finalized. Learning this type of information from anyone other than the one seeking the divorce is incredibly awkward,…

It’s weird how each person in a relationship can write their own versions of how it began and ended, sometimes for self serving purposes, other times for completely innocent reasons.

Part of it can also have to do with how one’s feelings change over time. For example, I parted ways with a woman a while ago, and if she…

I was seriously dating a guy and left for a three-day weekend out of town. I came home, opened up my computer and logged into facebook only to discover he got engaged to his ex-girlfriend over the weekend. When I would see him around, he wouldn’t make eye contact with me. It will surprise you to know that the marriage…

Congratulations on your sobriety!  I wish you continued success!

Congrats on one year! (If that’s appropriate to say?)

I agree completely. Not that I’ll ever be on a talk show of any kind (except maybe the one in Rupert Pupkin’s basement), but I drank heavily for 30 years, and my first year of sobriety quietly passed without fanfare a week ago (after countless attempts to stop over the past 15 years or so). If some one became insistent…

It says a hell of a lot more about Ellen, doesn’t it? That little bit of her probably incomprehensibly unpleasant actual self slips into her interviews a lot, it seems. 

Not to mention when they’re on camera, they’re working. It’s inappropriate in so many ways.

Pressuring someone to drink alcohol is ~never, ever~ funny or okay. There are SO MANY reasons people can’t drink, whether its addiction, religion, pregnancy, health issues, medication, or any other of a vast array of morals or mental/physical health concerns. Whichever of those things it is, it’s absolutely none of…

Ellen has a weird habit of pushing alcohol on people. I saw a Chris Pratt interview where they talked about his weight loss and action hero transformation and then she presented him with a whole tray of Fireball shots. She insisted he have some when he explicitly said he didn’t really drink it anymore, and refused to…
