Definitely. Their HD powder is amazing, it’s basically the same as the much more expensive one from Makeup Forever.

Well that made me nauseous :(

Looks like a good list! If your makeup budget is really small, Wet n Wild, Rimmel, Jordana, and Milani all make some excellent products for between $1 and $5. Well the Rimmel may run a bit more but it’s often on sale. Also worth noting that many drugstore brands are actually owned by the same parent company as the…

Ah, man. I really feel for him. He’s totally right. My boyfriend died in a car accident twelve years ago and those first six months, I was just existing. I actually don’t remember a lot of that first year. I know I played a lot of video games, I’d just sit there and kill cartoon bad guys for hours and every now and…

People say that, but it’s not actually happening yet. Self checkout has been around for a while now and the stores in my area at least are still major employers. Fewer cashiers means they can expand the store and add people to stock the new sections. Idk where you are but I’m in Ohio and around here the bigger grocery…

Kids will make fun of each other for anything and everything. When I was that age I was bullied for having acne, for having brown hair, for being ugly, for my messed up teeth, my clothes, the fact that my family was poor, the fact that I was good at school. Everything. Children are merciless. At that age they’re…

Since I don’t have the power to do it, kind of a moot point, isn’t it?

Eh, I do self checkout most of the time no matter how much stuff I have. I spent most of my late teen/early twenties as a cashier, I can ring up a whole cart, bag it and pay for it pretty fast, especially compared to the cashiers. There’s so much turnover at my local Kroger it seems like they’re all newbies, and they…

Idk, give me your social security number and your banking info, I’ll check and see.

Actually I have a full life that includes nieces, nephews, plus kids that I’ve mentored over the years through a couple volunteer organizations. I visit the elders who mentored me when I was a kid, but of course I wouldn’t count on anyone visiting me. Have you ever spent much time in a nursing home or your local…

That’s been my experience, too. I’m near 30 and childless and I come from a culture where most women have several by their mid twenties and people do seem surprised when I say I don’t have any but then they almost always follow that up with saying I should never have kids. Seriously, my older coworkers are always…

Other people’s babies are beautiful. But sitting pantless on the internet with a bottle of wine and a bag of mini butterfingers and being beholden unto no man (or baby) is also beautiful, in a way.

Lol that is a solid plan b but tbh I would think Mary Poppins would be welcome at any kind of party. Knock em dead!

Feel free to fight me on this, but I’m pretty sure that girl in the top pic is being a bunny to match her stuffed animal, not a cat.

The city was Columbus, Ohio.

At planned parenthood they told me it was standard for terminations at less than 8 weeks. They have to see the thing before they can schedule the procedure. I’ve had the wand ultrasound three times thanks to some pesky cysts and it didn’t hurt or bother me at all but it is definitely invasive.     

Thanks. We’ve talked about it a bit already but idk. Obviously he doesn’t usually act like this otherwise I wouldn’t stay with him but right now, I have one foot out the door. I wasn’t really calm during the talking part which I know isn’t constructive. This whole thing really shook me and now I have to think about…

I am, my id situation is complicated so I’m waiting on some stuff that should be coming in the mail in the next couple weeks and then I can get my temps and learn before this winter.   

I’m in the process of getting the documents I need to get my temps. They should be coming in the mail within a few weeks. Then once I learn to drive I’ll be in a position to leave if I want to. Idk. I want to see if I can find a counselor or something to talk to as well.

Thank you. Yes, there’s no diagnosis but I am pretty sure he is. I just broke down in tears and spelled everything out to him and he apologized for not understanding how things were and for not being there with me, and he said it won’t happen again. The thing was there just wasn’t time last night for me to go through…
