The actress looks like the love child of Gillian Anderson and Blossom, to me.

I had to clean bathrooms at Old Navy and Target. Women's restrooms are BY FAR worse than Men's. Probably because they're used more often, more babies are changed, and boy and girl children of all ages run amok in them. Then, you have the subset of women and girls who have no idea how to dispose of sanitary napkins or…
It is amazing the things you learn about your family during weddings or wedding planning. On one hand, I sort-of get where my mother was coming from - I don't know much about her first wedding, to my bio-dad, but I know that marriage didn't end well. Her second wedding was shotgun, as I reflect on it as an adult. They…
My mom gave up talking about the kids. If my fiance and I ever actually set a date, though, we're doing it on a cruise ship. I don't care if it's tacky. My mom still thinks you can get the wedding she wants (catered, with lots of guests and the like) for $5000. When we were talking details, she kept trying to add…
I was young, and naive, and my mother didn't understand my side of it because she believes in traditional gender roles. Present-day me would not have tolerated that shit AT ALL.
My fiance is one of those. He is a legit feminist, and tries to clean, but genuinely doesn't see what needs to be done. Unfortunately, he was raised in a family where women did all the housework, so he never actually learned how to clean, and I don't want to teach him, because that puts me in "mommy" role. No thanks.…
So hot. Dodged the bullet in the long run, though.
Some of them forget how to do it when they live with any woman, regardless of relationship. My fiance's brother was our roommate for a while, and he was perfectly capable of cleaning when he lived on his own. As soon as he moved in with us, I was pretty much expected to clean up his crap. Told him that if I wanted…
I don't think Savion Glover's even good enough to tap dance around those. You know, because there are so many.
I haven't worked there since 2007, so I don't know. We were a big store, and they came with the maternity rollout in the mid -2000s. We had maybe two that weren't for mannequins, and they probably weren't replaced when they went missing or deteriorated.
I believe the pregnant drinker story - I lived next to a girl (about 19) who chain-smoked on her porch for her entire pregnancy, and I know one woman whose doctor recommended wine coolers instead of blood thinners for a medical condition, because the wine coolers were better for the baby.
My fiance asked a server once if the restaurant had any vegetarian burger substitutes (a lot of places in Orlando offer bean burger patties upon request). Her reply: "Yeah, we have turkey burgers".
According to my friend with Celiac's Disease, it's a Catch-22; because of the fad diet, there are more options available in grocery stores and dining out, but there's also fewer servers that take her seriously.
I don't give a lot of speeches, but before job interviews, dance performances, or fight tournaments, I'll sit in my car and belt out Mariah Carey's "Vanishing" or Celine Dion's "It's All Coming Back to Me Now". The breath control required to sing those properly pretty much forces my heart rate down. Works like a charm.
When I was four, and my mother was pregnant with my sister, I asked her where the baby came from. She handed me a copy of "A Child is Born". I don't remember ever not knowing how babies are made.
When I was an admin assistant for Environmental Engineers, we worked in a downtown office that was built similarly to a doctor's office. We had a homeless man come in once and try to sign in for an appointment; when we explained that the sign in/out sheet was for employees and visitors didn't need to fill it out, he…
The best I've found is a doc who really likes running tests, asks a lot of questions, and doesn't brush off my questions. No one really "gets" it, though, because from what I understand, that scaling thing is simple for a lot of people. Unfortunately, with most docs and dentists, it takes me coming in with an…
They were renewed through season 6 at the end of season 4, and then Cory Monteith OD'd and the story structure completely fell apart (or finished falling apart, depending on who you ask). They're doing a shorter season this year just to wrap it up and fulfill obligations, I suppose.
