Sometimes they are called ear jackets or ear cuffs. Usually it’s a stud earring with a fancy backing that holds it on. I didn’t get that at first and was thinking it was three pieces (stud, “jacket,” and stopper) but the jacket is the stopper piece. Pretty cool!

The year I took my ex-boyfriend with me to my family’s Thanksgiving: We go to a multi-family gathering, people I love dearly and also I really look up to them all so I want them to think the best of me, known them my whole life, etc.

Actually I happen to agree on the yearly doctor’s visit. Didn’t catch that you were referring to the OTC portion, sorry about that! I am firmly behind preventative care.

1 - I would suspect that there are a large amount of women who have been on BC for years that does work for them who would prefer to not be forced to schedule a doctor’s appointment to re-up on their prescription every time it runs out. This will be great for them. People who are new to BC should see a doctor - or if…

At my work they used to be separate but as of 2016 they will be the same. Theoretically giving us all “more” PTO. BS.

You know, I didn’t even think of it like you wouldn’t but I just listen to it all the time on my phone and I also simultaneously know people who don’t have smartphones so I just wrote that and then remembered at the last second that it’s also available as a webpage not just and app so... enjoy your internet access!!…

If you don’t mind a suggestion and you have a smartphone or an internet browser, I recommend Songza. The curated playlists available have a wide range, it’s better than Pandora because no ads really. Specifically, the playlists with “New Music for ‘Insert Season’ of 2015” are genre based, so it’s easy to get started…

My boyfriend’s mother is CONVINCED he looks like Tom Cruise. Sure, I say. A much taller, redheaded Tom Cruise. Anything you say.

Not that it would matter anyway, the man doesn’t age. He’s vampire!

Looks like The Dark Side lipstick from MAC - really gorgeous burgundy/purple that looks amazing on a lot of skin tones

In agreement with the other commenter... I also purchased this model and had issue with the snooze. I found that using my whole hand to tap/smack it (not too hard) works. As in, literally all 5 fingers on the light.

This was the policy at the coffee shop where I worked. Incredible boss. #1boss

. Sorry, someone beat me to it!

Agreed, there is a significant difference between “eh, you’re alright but I might not hang out with you on my own” vs “I really don’t like you for x, y, z reasons” or “I get a really freaking terrible vibe from you as a person” and if it were either of the latter I would hope a true friend would mention it to me in…

Completely agree. The group can also be a good gauge of whether you’ll stay in the long term - there’s a reason your SO likes and hangs out with them, and we become like the people we are with.

That’s when you kick them in the shins, hard, and run. If the shins don’t work, you’re in a great position for a knee to the groin.

Well, it’s Borderline Personality Disorder according to both mine and my father’s therapists. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

First story is 100% why I always set up a room so I can see the door from the bed, the couch, or desk without turning my head too much. Well, that and a little feng shui, but I really couldn’t have my back to the door.

I’ve had so, so many conversations with my mother that she denies. Ranging from “you don’t look good in light purple” to “Did you know about this?” (which refers to the divorce papers she was served by my father while I was sitting at the breakfast table with her) (and no, I didn’t)

Not wrong to be annoyed. One more vote for staying home and sending a nice gift.
