I would have laughed so hard if it was a brand plug - like “he tied the umbilical cord off with red Beats by Dre headphones, the only headphones Iman uses before a game.”

that last one

Nobody will ever beat this dude’s proposal so don’t even try folks.

Shout out to all my fellow Jezzies who read “inexpensive Yankee candles” and thought about how you only get Yankee candles when they're on the clearance endcap at TJ Maxx.

It says something about the Brits as a people, though, doesn't it? That they are willing to spend their entire lives in discomfort that could be easily alleviated?

Its shocking. Why do people put up with ill-fitting shoes? It makes me cranky when my feet hurt.

I also am blessed with a high arch and the toenail issue! I also have a very narrow foot. Basically I live in a variety of boots, toms and converse. And greek style sandals in the (what we like to think of as) summer. Basically, if it doesn’t have something over the top of my foot, like a strap, it just constantly…

Fellow half-size shoe wearer here, and I feel your pain. The only shoes I own that fit me are the ones I’ve purchased in the States when I go home. Everything I’ve bought here is either a half size too small or a half size too big. I tend to err on the side of half size too big, as I decided (based on no scientific or…

You know, I’ve been on their website several times (my love of knitwear has, of course, led me to them) and just haven’t bought yet. I’ll have to give them a try now!

Kind of. I wouldn’t buy a winter coat or anything in there but their PJ’s, basics, comfy stuff are all not bad. The guys stuff is definitely better. I bought a £5 oversized comfy jumper three years ago and it’s still In good shape and any female equivalent would’ve shrunk in the wash or develop weird bobbles within…

In the UK we call it Primani cos their stuff is always so on trend.

Thank you! The article made Primark seem so much better than it is that I thought I was completely off the cultural mark.

Yeah, the quality is generally dreadful. You kind of don’t own up to Primark generally, although there is a thing where you take a perverse kind of pride in it when you find something nice from there. It’s basically law that if somebody compliments you on your outfit and its Primark you have to yell ‘OMG I KNOW AND…

This story only starts out like a horror story. It was horrible for me at the time. My boyfriend and I were celebrating our first Thanksgiving together. It was also just a couple years since my Mom died, a loss which had blasted a huge hole in our family. We scattered after that and had Thanksgivings either alone or…

You see, young Elvis was a tricky little brat. In Kindergarten, I was riding home with my dad, brother and brother’s classmate. My brother’s classmate was going to be doing a Thanksgiving play, and I decided that I wanted to be in one too! The catch was, it was Tuesday evening, and tomorrow was the day of said play I…

Ok, when I was like 11 or 12, I was at my cousins house with a big group of family, 20-30 people. After dinner, all the kids wanted to play hide and go seek. I went and hid in the closet of the guest bathroom which was adjacent to the toilet- big mistake. After a few minutes, one by one, family members would come in…

My dad used to joke when I had braces that all I needed in addition to those railroad tracks were glasses and then I would never find a husband.

Well, no. What Jezebel should have done was keep all the excellent writers it had, instead of Denton retooling it as “the primary voice for celebrity and pop culture coverage in the network.”

You can laugh, but when the apocalypse occurs my descendants will have all the books and movies and music people dream of having because they only owned things digitally.

I just warn people that I’m going to cry now. Worst was at a parade, and the drill team kids, and the kids from Chinese school, and I just lost it - all their hard work and I was so randomly proud of them. Luckily my husband now expects me to burst into tears at marching bands etc and thinks its cute.
