I really wish I could address your bigger question but I'm also not sure of the general logistics. I can however tell you that the minimum wage when I started working was $5.25 and, as I was a waitress, that ended up being more like $2.34 an hour (give or take- it was over 10 years ago). Then when I was in college…

I have a presentation on Friday to the Board and I would LOVE to wear this exact outfit! I have a black dress but I need the white suit jacket. It just looks so eye grabbing and bright that maybe I'd stand out from the others. And they would automatically give me a promotion/raise.

I think part of the point is for them to learn about the process of death rather than the end result of sitting around for several hours in absolute boredom. I had a high school communications class that went to a hospital morgue followed by a funeral home to discuss in detail all the processes that happen after a…

And the "gun thing' never seems to go away as boys (and I imagine, some girls) get older. Then it because video games and bb guns and the culture of power that goes along with both. Add in contact sports and the peer group mentality can be set in dangerous ways. Most, I would hope 95% of people never behave in…

Oo oo I can help explain! I used to do marketing for a small real estate flipping company. Like two people and me. When you set up FB ads you can get weirdly, amazingly accurate about the exact people in this zip code who have ever used these words in a status update. As you were talking specifically about that…

There are any number of items related to this case that I find awful. But the thing that really gets me is the 24 hours news media going on and on without mentioning, even as an aside or off-handed comment, that there is currently no definitive proof the girl was kidnapped or legally adopted or found as an abandoned…

I would totally join a class with you!

I feel like that's what he wants, just to catch up and be friendly, but I'm a single ex and he's in a new relationship. If I was her I'd be kind of freaked out if I saw late night texts to an ex. I just let the text sit and I'm not going to respond. Maybe after one more year apart it will seem less weird to me.
Thanks…

You are probably right. Taking a deep breath and posting on here was helpful to delay myself from responding immediately. I'm counting this as a win for my sanity!

I don't know where you are but I would totally trade half my bottle of champagne for a couple brownies. Fair trade, IndigoMontoya, fair trade.

HAHAHA cough sorry. I totally can't laugh at you. My cat voluntarily follows me into the bathroom when I have to pee in the middle of the night. He has...um... attachment issues.

I know how you feel and it is awful. I don't have any constructive advice but I just wanted you to know that there are others out there who feel or have felt the same way.

You better make sure to wake him up in the middle of the night when you get scared!
I watched the first two Paranormal Activity movies and woke up in the middle of the night to my cat staring at me right next to my face. I'm ashamed to admit I screamed out loud. I hope you don't have to feel my shame.

My mother is this person. She has filled her house with cheaply bought tsochkies for every holiday. When I moved to college and now as an adult she mails or gives me stuff All.The.Time. I don't need it, my apartment is tiny, and she could be saving the money. But it makes her happy and she has the cash to spend. So I…

I second the lighthearted message! I've actually written the exact following message to a young cousin when she did the sane thing:
My mom was looking at you photos and called me about your bra showing. She wanted to know where you got it so she could buy one. Just let me know or give her a call. Thank you!
The pictures…

This is a bit random but what do you do when an old boyfriend texts you out of the blue?
Back story: we lived together for two years. Broke up amicably when I finally figured out our future plans were not compatible. Now I live 13 hours away, am single, and the happiest I've been in years. But without the big cathartic…

Truth! My dad's whole family is proof positive of this and part of the reason I made the decision not to have kids.

Wow I wish you had managed some ninja camera work so we could all experience that together. Perfect person for the expression "that person is a piece of work."
