I read that as "only meditation instead of litigation" like 6 times before I realized he wasn't suggesting yoga instead of legal proceedings.

I'd love a DIY column brought back. Jenna did a great one for a long time and I feel like I never see cool stuff like that on here anymore.

What about when: Mom of the other kid says: "Would you like some cookies?" to both children? Kid 1: yes; Deprived Child: no, thanks. In this example, Kid 1 still gets a cookie. Deprived Child: .....
How did she not know?????

Also, I was totally did not have it out for you, I just now realized I commented on two! of your comments! Sorry!!

You are super correct. I'm always surprised by how many people think this is the place to complain about the service they received from someone usually trying to do their best.

I think he meant that the server should have paid the first $25 of the bill with the gift certificate, and the last $15 in cash, leaving $5 change (in cash). Not the reverse and then $5 left on the certificate.

Just a contradiction for funsies - I grew up in NC, and at the Raleigh/Cary Red Lobster my family sometimes went to, there was a tank of live lobster. And not for how pretty they are. They all had their claws rubber banded together to make them easier to grab.

I love the Vasanti chemical exfoliant. I just put it on my face while I'm in the shower, rub it in a little, and then leave it til I rinse my hair and my skin looks the best it's ever looked.

Sorry, I didn't read the whole thread. No need to reply, you've more than satisfactorily answered my question.

What kind of risks do chemical exfoliators have? Curious because I just started using one that I love, and I feel like I haven't noticed any effects.

One grocery store in my hometown (a fair-to-mid size city, btw) was rated as a "great place to meet people."

Ugh, the lipstick with her fake tan is the wooooooorst

He's actually been a really decent Attorney General. In my opinion as a NC'er.

Thought this was the Onion for a second.

Yeah, this is not out of the realm. We're spending $550 to go home for my college roomie's wedding, which I WANT to go to, AND we're turning it into a 4 day weekend. The expensive part is that neither of us get paid for the 2 extra days we're taking off each, because we just got these jobs, after moving to the state…

I totally get that you were being sarcastic. I apologize, because I wasn't being transparent in my motivation for asking. The truth is I had the opposite experience with my mother, who chose every chance she got to remind me how lucky I was to be here and left me lists of chores to do while she went out and cheated on…

Wow!! This was great! When did you stop being Ubertrout? Or do you still use that? I finally clicked on you to follow you on nue-kinja and realized when I saw the name of the blog.

Please allow me this purely theoretical/rhetorical question, and only answer if you feel like responding in kind: When people (yourself, and others) say things like "My mom 'allowed' me to live under her roof..., etc.", does that take into account the idea of planned children? I'm all for kids learning responsibility,…

Not sure why you're going through posts from three years ago, however, looking at the rest of your comments makes it clear that you and I simply do not agree on what feminism means to us. I choose to not see all men through a lens of violence.

Looks to me as though she just has an extremely short waist. It's a weird angle on the photo, too. The texture on the dress is obviously different top-to-bottom - if it had changed at her actual (thinnest part of her body) waist instead of her "low waist" (2" below thinnest part), then it would be a more flattering…
