Her father is an American with “not one iota of Spanish blood” in him. https://internationalintegrators.org/food-and-relationship-slowing-down-to-enjoy-both/  Her parents retired there.  To the whole part of the ethnicity she does not belong.

Code switching would actually support speaking English with an American accent as opposed to a Spanish accent. If she was speaking English with a Spanish accent to a group of native Spanish speakers, then you could understand the Spanish accent coming out.

I hear what you’re saying, because I’ve had the same experience, too. It’s like people who want to hurt others can smell fear and get off on it. On the other hand, by saying “Acting aggressively toward potential assailants has worked for me” is also victim blaming. The onus isn’t on women to act tough so they don’t…

Unless they’re girls.  In which case they can sit on his lap and pose for photos until they get married.

I was very confused by the Ravenel guilty plea.  I believe Nanny Dawn alleged that he full on sexually assaulted -- not just with an unwanted kiss.  Also, he swore up and down he didn’t do but now he’s pleading guilty.  No one’s going to address the fact that he lied?

Your derm doesn’t think retinol is worth it?  Or lactic acid?

Yes, this happened with my study abroad friend. She moved to my city for grad school, we hung out a few times, I helped her move from one apartment to another within the city. She invited me to hang out in August, and I told her I couldn’t because I was going on vacation (true story). I hit her up again around…

But also, if you want to buy new makeup, at a good price, check out reedit.com/r/muaonthecheap -- they always post deals.  Ulta just had a 10x point event which means you could buy anything in marked as 10x points and you’d be getting 39% off the price since 2000 points = $125.  (You’d ‘only’ have to spend $200 to get…

Yes, and most of those makeup items have been swatched by other customers before you get to it.  Very few items from Tj Maxx/Marshall’s/Rack are sealed in plastic shop lifting things that prevent testing.

Pshhh. I can top that. For my the 30th bday the man I dated from 20-32 forgot my bday entirely. No card. No happy birthday. No acknowledgement whatsoever. Meanwhile, a platonic friend of his received a $50 gift card to Sephora about 6 weeks prior to my bday. That must’ve been nice!

Uhm, I actually came here for the bad Bday stories. I need to vent and commiserate. 

Yes, the outbreak comment really missed the mark on prevention of transmission.  “Just don’t have sex while you’re having an outbreak”  -- gee, why didn’t I think of that?!  I don’t have herpes so I don’t know what it’s like, but from what I hear, it’s very painful and the last thing you’d want to do while you’re…

It certainly seems like it’s a very common disease based on the statistics. I don’t have it, and after I became aware of it, I was very careful to ask people if they did have it and asked them to provide me with their last STD test to be sure they are clean. I provided them with the same test so they could be sure I…

I’d watch it if/when there’s nothing better on, but 90 day fiance has been airing on TLC thus taking priority over the Hannah B. “hot-mess-express”. Rachel, for example, was a much more compelling contestant than Hannah B. Hannah B. is like a Colton to me: bad choice and uninteresting to watch. I’m definitely not…

Hannah B. intentionally picked the scammiest contestant so she could have faux-outrage and milk some more screen time out of this.  Mission accomplished.

That’s awful.  Sending you positive energy.

I think Amber shows remorse for her behavior, although I agree with you — she isn’t always making changes on said shitty behavior. Jenelle, on the other hand, is always making an excuse for her behavior. It’s her mom’s fault, it’s her boyfriend’s fault, it’s everybody’s fault but her own!

Seriously.  If the passenger already has the money for the business class seat to begin with, I imagine that $1500 isn’t much to that person.  You probably need to offer at least 5x the face value to even get someone to consider making that trade.

Was she discouraging her from reporting it or just letting her know the facts? 45 years ago the courts were a lot less sympathetic to victims.  She told the OP what pressing charges would be like and put the ball in her court to decide whether she wanted to go through with that.  I’d rather have the reality of the…

Uhhh, I still don’t know what the third hole for a tampon is.  All my life I only thought there was one.
