I don't get the whole "rape at college" process. Apparently if you rape someone in school grounds, it's not really a criminal offense? The police aren't involved for some reason.

Could someone enroll in college & murder someone? And then "campus police" would deal with it? And maybe there'd be a "hearing?" Where people…

Yeah, your dad sounds like a dick. Ugh.

And I was actually just (mostly) being facetious.

I say "mostly" because I WOULD, in fact, like that to happen to me! I'm wildly jealous of 1950s husbands. My husband & I were joking about splitting up (as we do, heh) and he was all "If I met an amazing woman who happened to live…

I actually DO think it's too much to ask for. But I still wouldn't mind it happening to me.

In all fairness to your dad, I also would like to have my husband waiting for me wearing something nice, freshly shaved, and a martini waiting for me when got home from work.

I mean... seriously. That would be just awesome.

I will say that their apple empanada thing is maybe the greatest thing I've ever tasted.

Weirdly, I used to LOVE Taco Bell. The last time I got it, it just tasted kind of gross. And then I found out that their "meat" doesn't actually have any meat in it and is made with chemicals and... no.

But I get it. I guess.

Huh? Looks like someone just upped the vibrance/contrast a bit. I don't really see it as a big deal.

So THAT'S why 2 Taco Bells have been completely ripped down near where I live! I was wondering what was going on.

Still not going to eat there. Why, in Los Angeles (where there is AMAZING Mexican food), would anyone go to Taco Bell?!

I have to post this because I'm so blown away that it happened.

My sister's friend was (is still, I guess) getting married and doing a destination wedding (I can't remember where but, like, Aruba or something). My sister was in the wedding and is pretty broke. She arranged her life for a YEAR, essentially, so she could…

Oh god! I was thinking "No. I don't dress "young!" and then you said "combat boots and nerd reference shirts" and I was all "whoopsie!" (that's totally how I dress). Often with no makeup.

HOWEVER, that's my "every day" look. I actually do dress "nicer" when I'm out at a bar or nicer restaurant. Which granted, isn't all…

Apparently it's ALSO the norm to be completely (body) hairless & oiled up.

Gross.

This article was interesting to me, as I've been thinking about this subject a lot, lately. I'm 41, and apparently I look like I'm... I'm not sure. When I get carded (and I get carded ALL the time), I get double-takes at my license. I've been told I look like a teenager, and I can't tell if people are exaggerating or…

I'm confused about why we all believe this really happened.

I am having a hard time believing this because I go to Disneyland all the time, and people there are dressed ALL sorts of ways! I am also pretty busty and have worn tank tops there a LOT more revealing than what she's wearing (just because it can get really hot!) Lots of girls in skintight outfits & the like, goths,…

I used to say that stuff when I was in my 20s & 30s. Now that I'm in my 40s, I'm a bit more sympathetic.

I love not wearing makeup. It's a pain in the ass to put on.

I also love to wear makeup. I feel more attractive when I wear it and only takes about 5-10 minutes to slap on, usually.

Well, I imagine you're going to get wrinkled at some point, in any case. I don't get this obsession with not having a wrinkled forehead, though. Do people really look at foreheads that much? I don't get having a freakishly stiff forehead and then showing it off with a middle part with the hair swept away from it. A…

If you're THAT upset about your forehead wrinkles, there IS a much simpler solution: bangs!

One of the reasons we're not having another. I really really don't want a boy.

(if you have the $$, you can actually choose the sex of your child)

My sister-in-law kept having kids in the hopes of having a girl. She now has 3 boys. She was supposed to do the "choose the gender" thing with the last one, but then she got…

If you're referring to MY energy that is being drained, then yes, heh. Her energy is a bottomless reserve.

I'm 41 and I do all that stuff :D
