I actually think the ACTs are fairer than the SATs in some ways. With the SATs, it's easier to get an economic advantage (although economic advantages exist for both tests). The ACTs are based more on academic work as opposed to things you would learn only by paying a $1500 dollar Kaplan or Princeton Review class. But…

I used that when I was in college. It worked wonders, but now the acne has come back with pregnancy. I'm assuming it won't last longer than the 9 months though.

Retinoids? Two birds with one stone?

In my mid-30s. I have acne now from being pregnant, and I have no idea what to do about it except wear tons of makeup.

I shelled out to take a Kaplan class because I had barely taken math in high school, and my score was raised by 200 points. Other people who put in more time than I did raised their scores by even more, up to the high 1500s from an average score. I think you can also buy online classes/materials for a cheaper cost…

This is what confused me. I'm in my mid-thirties and thought it would take me ages to get pregnant, so we started trying earlier than I would have liked to get pregnant. Turns out it happened immediately, with hardly any effort.

I think her nose, chin and jawbone are much smaller, and then she had her lips done. Her eyebrows look very different, but that's probably not related to plastic surgery. I'm wondering how she does them actually. She might have a really good technique for drawing them on.

She has had some very, very good plastic surgery - the kind that makes me think, hey, maybe I should get plastic surgery!

I had the same experience in an education graduate program. There was not a lot of flexibility about work schedules, which invariably conflicted at one point or another with a class, and there was no part-time option. The school psych internships are a full year long, they're unpaid, and they require working after…

I don't think it's either good or bad, it's just part of the process of the environment or behavior affecting gene expression and whether they're turned on or off. At least, that was my impression.

He's from a very poor area of Dorchester, and poor white Bostonians aren't known for their racial tolerance, so I'm not massively surprised.

Ooh you are a fiery one!

I think the "ra ra ra" part was when they were speaking Asian.

That is an excellent description. I went for Blink 182. Either way, they have that vapid California thing going on.

Surely it's every Asian girl's fantasy to have a miniaturized, boy-band version of Blink 182 swimming in their bath?

I'm genuinely confused as to what this has to do with class. My extended family is quite economically diverse, and none would ask for money outright, although generally we give money anyway. The only person I knew who overtly asked for money that was an upper middle class person with punk pretensions.

That's interesting. I'm Irish/Italian and my family all gave money at my wedding. My husband's WASP family universally gave gifts.

I don't think people are saying that giving money is tacky. I think people are saying that asking for money is tacky.

Oh god, those sound like bad experiences.

Yeah and apparently I'm not going to marry a statesman named Rob Tarlson, which should be a relieve to my husband.
