It isn’t *really* worse than bad credit in the long term, because it’s easier to build up, but holy god does it suck in the short term. We got the loan, but I had to sign for it, and we’re going to get him some secured cards to use for gas or monthly subscriptions that we have. I honestly had more options in the short…

You also need to be careful about paying off your debt and saying “THERE. I’M DONE. NO MORE DEBT EVER.”

Losing weight too fast is definitely unhealthy, and this show is the definition of exploitive and ridiculous and shallow, but I’m not sure it directly changes the odds of you putting weight back on immediately, versus if you did it at a healthier rate.

As with every diet discussion YMMV, and disclaimer: I was never losing as much weight as the people on the show. That said, I lost 30+ pounds last year and this is what worked for me:

Just to say — that’s great and congrats. My SIL has done this (she took up running, found a club, made some changes to her diet) and I’m so impressed. When she first started, I would roll my eyes at her posting on Facebook about all her runs but at some point I realized I was being an asshole because she deserves…

You are on the right path, though. Yes it sucks to feel like you’ve got more to go, but you’ve managed to lose 20 lbs in a manner that keeps your metabolism and is sustainable. Be proud of yourself!

This. My mom only started losing weight after years of her and my dad overhauling their diets, not via any fad diets. Hell, her doctor forced her to lay off the grapefruit during on diet—she was eating it so often becuae it was one of the “allowed” snacks that t was throwing her body chemistry off—we’re talking over a…

That is freaking insane. She’s not more mad at the hospital for making the mix up and instead is focusing on the fact her baby got some formula. Both of those women have been wronged by the hospital but she thinks she should go after the other woman. And people are supporting this illogical thinking? Jesus.

In general, I feel like we’ve lost a ton off empathy. Not just forgetting that celebrities are people, but that the world involves balancing competing claims. Like there was a recent article by a woman whose baby was momentarily given to the wrong mother in a hospital and fed some formula. Which is legitimately awful…

I definitely agree that people go too far. I might be dating myself here, but I knew someone who ran into Val Kilmer in the parking garage of his lawyer’s office as he was going through a divorce. She asked him for his autograph and he wasn’t terribly rude but was a bit brusque and brushed her off without giving her…

A few weeks ago, I read an article by a woman who was a big fan of Matthew Perry. She went to see his play and waited by the stage door to met him. This took hours. When she finally saw him, he rushed past and said he wasn’t signing autographs. She was so disappointed and upset with him. I can understand her feelings…

I agree with that second part. I live in a college town where people are way too in to football. These are a kids being taken advantage of, calm the fuck down. When the highest paid person by the state is a football coach we need to take a long, hard look at our priorities.

as for how many of those people make a shitton of money courtesy of those very same bullshit rules, precisely because they back kids like this into a corner, well, we’ll just sweep that under the table, shall we?

I keep saying that too but his connection to these people seems to not even slow him down. Which in this day and age just amazes and horrifies me.

I thought Tunsil handled himself very well in the interviews he did after the draft. He didn’t lie or try to deny anything. He didn’t get angry or try to blame someone else. He didn’t even seem bitter or upset that he probably lost several million dollars. He admitted it was him, said it was mistake, said he was happy…

During the late 90's I worked as a telecom sales recruiter dealing with sales executives who were selling into Fortune 500 companies at a universal level, meaning they were selling directly to the COO’s of these organizations so their entire company would switch over to whatever service the salesmen were representing.…

That is presuming that there is only one BEST choice, and that choice is obvious when compared to the other choices. In reality, there are often many BEST choices for the job, and in those circumstances non work-related traits most definitely come into play.

The problem with your argument of: “They’ll hire the best person” is the entire article above. If that were true, the lone woman in the group of 4 should get hired 25% of the time. It assumes people start at equal footing, and the fact of the matter is that they don’t.

Shit like this makes me want to scream! This poor girl she did everything right and nothing was done for her. And people wonder why women don’t always report rapes. Evidence was on her side!

Listening to Carly Fiorina, tonight, I found myself pondering Donald Trump’s possible VP choice.
