I take issue with the fact that GP makes gobs of cash off of exploiting other women’s body insecurities. She wants to seem like she’s one of us only to make her audience more comfortable parting ways with their money. She can go suck a jade egg. 

Implants have a tendency to flip over or rotate in the pocket for some people, so the thinking is that if there is texture on the implant itself, the tissue regrowing in the area after implantation will have something to better “grip” on to and these issues won’t occur. But this cancer occurs when that regrowing…

I guess the bit is how much you hate these movies that are usually a really fun way to spend an afternoon? And like, that’s fine, but I absolutely cannot fathom why you’d write this article in this tone. Is the idea that we’re also supposed to be on board with you going through a list of announcements with a growing…

You’ll want to get a mortgage preapproval as it will speed things up when you do find a place. Do your research, apply to a few places in a small window (that way all the inquiries get lumped as one on your credit report). You don’t have to commit to one until you’re actually under contract. Don’t do anythign else big…

My significant other got his pre-approval done through a mortgage broker and then watched Redfin listings daily until he found a place he liked. He used the Redfin site to set up a viewing of the house the same day it listed and he had the showing agent write up an offer that day. The owners countered and one day…

Please please please go to a local mortgage officer, and feel free to shop around until you find one you are comfortable with. You want an actual person that you can meet in their office and who feels a personal responsibility to do right by you. Also, if you get pre-approved, you will have your pick of real estate…

You can start with either getting a preapproved mortgage, or a real estate agent. The agent will guide you through the process, in any case. I started with an agent. See if anyone you know can recommend one. Most are reputable and very helpful, but some are not. They should be experienced in seeing serious problems…

I can only offer, you will likely find it is helpful to have a “pre-approval” from a mortgage broker before looking. I bank at a credit union and am currently using them. Compared to other home-buying experiences, the guy at the credit union really rises above the others in terms of efficacy and ethics. In this day…

Get a real estate agent first. They can help you with choosing where to look for preapproval. Every place has different fees and requirements and a good realtor will know which is best for your situation.

Had a heart transplant Thursday morning. Already feeling a million times better but know the next couple months are going to be tough. I also broke my phone the day before and unfortunately it wasn't a great repair job. Oh well don't even care!

For anyone following my breakup saga: y’all will be pleased to know that I have been apartment hunting! I recently got a new fee arrangement with a client of mine wherein I’ll be making a flat rate every month for one of their clients (I’m a subcontractor for that client, and I do work directly for my client as well,…

I was let go at work this week over something incredibly dumb (my doing) and I should have seen it coming. The blame is on me of course, but the problem was made so much worse by forces out of my control. I am really wishing that I had listened to my gut when it started telling me to find a new job months ago - my…

You Guys! You Guys! You Guys! My luck is finally starting to turn around! After 13 years of waiting, I might finally get a Section 8 housing voucher. This means I can live in an apartment instead of a travel trailer up on concrete blocks. I’m so excited. Just the thought of having an oven, a closet, or hot water on…

ALL DAYS....part of my job is to work with people who experience food insecurity. and those who judge them can fuck off and die.

Referring to a letter received by a mother who owed $75, he told WNEP, ““Where did that $75 go? Is it going to cigarettes? Is it going to alcohol? We don’t know. That’s right, we don’t know that,” he said.

“Where did that $75 go? Is it going to cigarettes? Is it going to alcohol? We don’t know. That’s right, we don’t know that,” he said.”

I lost my mom to suicide a week ago. She was a brilliant, wonderful, and frustrating person. She was a doctor who saved thousands of lives, but she couldn’t save her own — she struggled with mental illness for a long time, and tried literally every treatment she could. Ultimately, she lost the battle. I’m most worried…

Ok ok I was trying to think of what my therapist would say to this. What I would say, and please pardon my bluntness but FUCK THAT SELFISH ASSHOLE. Ok now that I said that, let me justify. He calls your relationship an “experiment” red flag of undermining you as a person and clearly openly making it very transparent…

He doesn’t seem very kind from what you have written here, however if you don’t want to cut him out of your life that is up to you. You know you best. What I would suggest is cutting him out short term, or part-time. Stay in touch, but limited contact until you find you can handle the interactions without the sting.…

But at the same time, I don’t know if he’s having regrets,or if he just wants to keep me on the back burner in case he can’t find better, or if he thinks that not only should he get to dictate the terms of his relationships (me or others), he should get to dictate how people process the endings.
