Are you kidding? Because I hope you're not cruel enough to really feel like that (even though you posted the comment twice after having it moved out of the thread), but I also hope you're smart enough to understand that she was afraid he would kill her, for real, whether or not she left. (Probably afraid especially if…

I think if you love all the other wonderful things about each other enough to find an imperfect way around one hurdle, then maybe you should be together.

When you fill out a form, they ask Hispanic White or Non-Hispanic White. I guess she'd tick the first box.

My cat overgrooms, and WOW it doesn't look like that. We're lucky, I guess? (Our cat just looks like a naked, gray baby.)

Wow. That's really amazing and awesome.

Ha! #hearted

I am 30. I want many of these things.

When I was little, all my toys were from Goodwill and were thus a mishmosh of toys for boys and girls and all ages. I still wanted to be a princess. Not because little girls all want to be princesses, but because *I* wanted to be a princess.

What you're describing is reasonable. And is NOT what the article is describing.

If it's just a cocktail party, I completely agree. If it's job interview, nope.

I received a bad performance review recently. My boss spent twenty minutes saying I was "mean" to him and that I called him a racist (which I did NOT do). The other five minutes was them telling me I was awesome otherwise. I ended up with a raise and more responsibility at the end of the review, but I knew it was time…

While I think that's valid, I don't think someone should be (more-or-less) required to surround themselves with alcohol to get a job, which is what the article implies.

Thanks! Though I may have missed it, I didn't see smoking addressed outright.

Not for nothing, but Revolution is better, unless your cat has had a bad reaction. Revolution treats fleas and prevents heartworm. There's really not a treatment for heartworm in cats, and even indoor only cats can get heartworms.

Within a couple of days of getting a new kitty, you should take him to the vet. Whether adopting from a shelter or a friend, you want to know that your kitty's clean bill of health is legit. Often shelters only do the minimum of vet care, due to budget and time, and you should know whether your cat has any health…

I have a cat who gnawed on the carrier until his gums bled. Now we have a soft carrier for him.

Okay, yeah, lots of comments about how faculty needs to schmooze. And just leave the dang kids at home. Whatever.

Wait, we suddenly have a problem with vodka that tastes like fucking candy?

I agree. I have Aspergers, and this all seems very familiar. Memorizing social cues instead of inherently picking up on them... I had to learn how to act "normal" and then make my act seem natural. I don't think he's gotten the natural thing down yet.

I don't really get how any of this is bad, or silly, or even demeaning. It all helps you look pulled together. Looking pulled together gets you a job. Looking like you rolled out of bed and threw on whatever was handy makes you look sloppy, and if you're sloppy with your attire, maybe you're sloppy other places, LIKE…
