my boyfriend pinches my elbow fat and says "it feels like balls". .__.

Does the additional detail of the landlord being Chinese add anything to the story? No. Is the original story about landlords? No. The story very easily could have been told without mentioning the landlord was Chinese, and it wasn't even relevant to the topic.

That and their hot dogs. I'm sorry, it's NOT better than a Chicago style dog. It's just not.

God, is it just me or has he gotten crazier since it became public knowledge that he's a crazy conservative? Before, his ads always seemed kind of silly, but now it's like he is staring into your soul and trying to convince you to buy his pizza or he will eat you.

It's the same in Chicago if the White Sox score five runs. Still, would not buy.

Being a teenager in the 90s was the best, because I dunno what I would do if I had to deal with Biebz and dudes trying to emulate Biebz as my crush material. I was all about Kurt Cobain (tho I was still wee to have a crush on him then), but dudes of the 90s in general put Biebz to shame.

because it's a stupid thing to do.

It sounds like she's trying to pull off I'm-really-well-educated-and-well-traveled. It just reminds me of that SBTB episode where she went on the date with the brainy guy who was all judgey because she liked to go shopping and wasn't his intellectual equal. :( But agreed, something is off and I hope she's okay.

I also want to give her a makeup sponge so she can blend her blush. I dunno if it's supposed to be contouring or what, but it looks like a three year old did her makeup :(

I know at least with the union my bf's in, you're able to negotiate your starting salary based on how many years experience you have. He had worked at a few papers before and had a non- union writing position before being promoted - and his salary jumped like 40k.

Urban and Anthro are owned by the same people.

I got good poisoning once from the employee meal offered while I was working at a hotel. I was the only one on the shift and had to keep running to puke. My manager insisted I was lying because food poisoning takes 12 hours (not true at all) and she thought I was making an excuse to go to the employee softball game (…

It's a little less than 90k, but he's part of a union, so it's impressive for a reporter.

Also in Chicago! I dunno, I'm just not all the perceptive when I'm being hit on. But I also have a tendency to keep my guard up if I'm out and about, so finding a dude online was easier for me. I know it creeps some people out — to each their own.

Ugh, I have been trying to get one of my guy friends to try online dating forever. He refuses to look places other than bars, since that's where he spends most his free time (he's 32 and I have been trying to encourage him to find more hobbies than drinking, but that's a different issue). Every single time he has…

Nah. I'll take my chances on having conversation with someone before I actually have to meet them, so I'm hopefully able to decide if we're compatible or not. I don't even know how or why anyone would go about dating blindly in the wild anymore. Maybe it's me, or because I live in a major city, but I really would not…

Jeffs and their more obnoxious counterparts, Geoff.

Coven was prolly my least favorite season.Season 2 - WAY creepier. This looks like it could be more like season 2.

As someone who has quit drinking but has a BF that drinks - it can be HARD sometimes. Not only because you might want to drink, but dealing with drunk people can be annoying as shit when you're sober. And IIRC Michelle has had problems with alcohol in the past, which just adds to the difficulty of the situation.

Flo was also in an early episode of Mad Men!
