Yeah, I don’t recall ever reading anything scientific to recommend it, like I said, it’s just what my mother always told me. Eating dairy when I’m sick does gross me out a bit though so I never do it anyway.

Am I looking at an old timey fetish pic here? Just curious, I didn’t see the credit for the pic at the link so now I’m like...who painted that? Why? I love that it exists though because this was also a burning question of mine.

That sounds good, but I always hate to eat dairy when I’ve got a cold. My mother always insisted it makes the congestion worse. I’m on board with the tea and honey though!

Ahh, hot toddies. I do mine with honey in the bottom of the mug, then add in a cup of weak earl grey tea, then cinnamon, bourbon, and a squeeze of lemon. Also good with chai tea. The key is you just want to stick the tea bag in the water for about a minute. You want the flavor of the tea without the strong tannins…

Haha. Yeah, when you said everyone you know, rich or poor, is on a family plan, my thought was - must not know too many poor people then, lol. Because most of the people I know are poor to lower middle class, and most of them are on a talk/text only month to month prepaid phone. Tbh I just can’t see my way to paying…

Someone will come along and explain this to you so it might as well be me - every morning and evening gossip roundup is filed under “dirtbag,” regardless of the headline or the content. It’s just the name of the column.

I guess it makes sense if you have a smart phone? I have always just used a cheapo phone with a simple text + talk plan.

That’s a bit nosy, but I don’t mind. With the exception of them paying his phone and car insurance, we’ve been independent for years. When we were younger, we’d split our rent and expenses 50/50, with me working to pay my share and his parents paying his share while he went to school. He left school without finishing…

Just for me personally, I grew up in a house without enough food or medical care, among other stuff that I don’t want to get into, and when I was a young adult I really struggled, so I would never be comfortable having children at all unless I knew I would have enough financial means to take care of them, and still be…

Honestly I think it might turn out that way in our case, too. We’ll never have as much stuff or financial security but we’re happy. I like his siblings but they act like spoiled brats sometimes and they also act way younger than their age, and I wouldn’t be shocked if they continue through life that way.

Yup. There have been times when my boyfriend’s parents have been upset with him for one reason or another (he’s the black sheep of the family, he didn’t take the path in college that they chose for him, and never actually finished his degree, plus they hate me) so at times they’ve cut him off and refused to help him.

I’m white, but from a poor family, and it’s so odd seeing the difference with my boyfriend, who is from an upper middle class family. He’s 27 and still on his parent’s phone plan. They pay half of his car insurance, too. When he was younger, they paid his tuition, and paid his rent and living expenses for years. I’m…

So far I’ve only tried the red and a pink, but they go on nice. Colors are basically the same as their lacquer balm crayons, if you have those. I have the red from both lines and other than one being matte and the other being shiny with a bit of glitter, they are the same color. No flaking. It was drying as hell, so…

Oh, wow. She’s much older than Sarah! You’re right though, I do indeed know that lady.

Sarah Paulson is a goddess. You might know her from American Horror Story. I developed a deep crush on her while she was on Deadwood.

I imagine color pop has something comparable. Lately I’ve been wearing the Revlon matte lip crayons, not sure if they come in that kind of a nude but the wear time is fantastic.

If exercise looks better angry, then boy, have I been doing it right!

Hot take.

omg

My tough, career man boyfriend can’t handle horror movies of any kind. He will watch a kung fu movie that’s absolutely dripping with blood, but anything remotely “spooky,” no way.
