Totally agree with penultimate paragraph.

I have had serious health issues since around age 19. I’m sorry, but you are codependent, and your girlfriend is a self-absorbed bitch. If your account is to be believed, she was always going to find fault with something you did or did not do, and tell you about it.

“A lot of the prices are ridiculous, but back in the day, you could save up and buy a sweater or a button down from there and it would last FOREVER. “

You need to see a physical therapist who specializes in vaginismus. Most women really benefit from the therapy. If you don’t you might have misaligned hips or something structural chronically driving the dysfunction (there are other causes as well... this is just one). Good luck!

The Heat is hilarious. Her Chicago accent drove me nuts though.

There is another strong argument against ACs: The waste heat contributes to atmospheric warming.

My puritanical, blond, thin-haired mother would forbid any shaving of the legs to my dark, super hairy, long legged self. Sucked to be at day camp all summer with all of my shaved campmates.

Yes. I have to keep my weight down to manage back pain.

I actually thought Tammy had some good parts to it. I thought it was misrepresented in its marketing.

I coulda sworn that Gawker media also has had a few “photo of X submitted without comment” posts.

Yeah, I was wondering where he got “pretty” from.

I work with a woman with whom I used to share an office. She bullied me out of the office within months. I still talk to her about business-related topics (always in a neutral tone), but avoid her for all other contact.

Yeah, I guess because I have to ask that question for a govt-funded program I administer, I took for granted that not everyone makes that distinction.

Yes, I believe that’s what the quoted statement means.

OK, good point.

There are a lot of large companies that include this question in the online form, so I tend to assume they have already had their lawyers check it out. Perhaps I shouldn’t assume, but since the applicant cannot prove the reason for not receiving an interview, it seems like an easy and legal way to discriminate.

“Employers can’t legally inquire about your nationality, but they can ask if you’re authorized to work in a certain country.”

My elderly mother who still needs to supplement her income finds that a lot of online applications require that you enter your HS graduation date. It’s a loophole - not directly asking you your age.
