Sing it. I kept my single name when I married, and one woman was horrified and insulted on behalf of my husband, stating that I "must" be ashamed of him if I didn't take his name. I told her that valuing my own identity and respecting my husband's were not two mutually exclusive things. I don't think she knew what…

Honey, this is getting too TL;DR for me, so I'm signing off this convo now :)

1) I know.

Also, Karl Lagerfeld is a loon.

Not joking at all... not sure why the timing matters? I'm on a LOT of hydrocodone for this respiratory infection so maybe I'm just confused.

Ah, thanks! I appreciate the input of someone more knowledgeable. :)

The fashion world can suck a bag of dicks.

I figured out about ten years ago that no one cares NEARLY as much as I think they do about my behavior or actions. It has changed my life. I'm recommending this article to everyone I know who could benefit from it. Thanks so much for writing it! <3

...US size 8 is not plus size. Just so you know. Plus size is 14+.

I hate to do anything that seems I'm coming to this douchecanoe's defense, but his last name appears to be ethnically Middle Eastern or similar, and "Alexandrew" might be the way "Alexander" is spelled in his language.

C'mon. This was virtually identical to the behavior of a dickhead who makes a pass at a girl in a bar, gets rejected, then spends the rest of the night calling her fat, a bitch, and a lesbian who he never "really" wanted to get with anyway. The only difference is locale and what he was propositioning her for.

Fuck a Starbucks right in its mediocre, overpriced ass. RAWR. Timmy's 4EVA.

whomp whomp

It's almost like he's doing a public service, really.

"The joy still flows like a fountain every time."

Is there a contingency of those like me who don't care about Beyonce one way or another? I don't hate her, but I don't think she's the next coming of Christ like so many other people seem to feel. She's just sort of... there. A bit like elevator music. Maybe marginally more interesting.

Not to be a dick, but... what else do you think lemonade is made from, if not water, lemons, and sugar?

I got pregnant while on the pill, too, cuz that's my crap luck. Bonne chance to you, I hear it hurts a lot so I hope your go isn't too awful :)

Yeah, I've been at my job 9 months now and my boss has been hounding me for a month to take my vacay.

So there's this thing called "adoption", and I hear it's pretty cool.
