I’m fine with this. Smoking is terrible, sometimes I wish cigarettes were banned outright. I smoked on and off from age 22 to 26, and many of my friends at the time were smokers. So many of them have struggled to quit for years, and regretted ever starting. I don’t know any smokers who are really happy that they’re…

When someone leaves the scene of the accident, it’s impossible to prove that they were driving under the influence because they can claim they started drinking after the accident. January Jones did the same thing in 2010, with the added intrigue that Bobby Flay (married at the time) supposedly came to pick her up.

Yeah, adult breakups are expensive on top of being terrible. If my current relationship doesn’t work out, I doubt I will move in with a partner again unless we are engaged.

Even if you aren’t poor, who has a spare $12,000 laying around? That’s close to a year’s tuition at a UC. I know kids who were adopted from foster care, so I realize there is a real need for this system, but I feel like it does more harm than good in most cases.

I drink a fair amount of whiskey and probably have 20 lbs on her; I could drink six whiskeys in a night without needing to go to the hospital, although I would be extremely drunk and a liability to myself and others. If I drank that much in an hour, never mind a few seconds, I would be throwing up or passed out. This…

I’m so sorry your family had to go through that. How could they possibly have made you pay them for their “services”? That’s absurd and wrong.

I have had people nag me about the diet coke I was drinking, while I was smoking a cigarette. Absurd.

I agree, I think if you want to move right away you need to accept there is going to be a month or two you are still responsible for rent and shared bills. Maybe you have to stay with friends or family if that means you can’t afford to get your own place right away. I’ve know people who lived together for months after…

I definitely agree that you can’t leave them on the hook for rent. I think the person ending the relationship has a responsibility to take a financial loss if they want to move out right away.

If she’s 100% certain the relationship is over and there’s nothing he can do to change it, I think ending it definitively and giving him space is the kindest thing to do. Breakups are truly the worst, and the only thing that helps is time. The only real kindness you can show when dumping someone is to be firm and…

I cried during an episode of Mad Men, when Abe tells Peggy “I hope you have a shitty day.”

Kyle Chandler made me cry during that fucking dumb, bomb in a body episode of Grey’s anatomy. Wish you the best in managing your heart condition.

Which season of GBBS? Even Mary Berry was tearing up when Nadiya won, so you’d be in good company.

I think she should be grateful she isn’t aging poorly, and find something else to write about. I think your comparison to being beautiful is apt. I’ve been very thin most of my life, and while people make annoying comments about my body or diet and are sometimes hostile, I realize it would be so much worse if I…

That was an exaggeration on my part. My point is that she’s cultivated and maintained the persona of a young, innocent girl despite being almost 30. We have some power to influence other’s perception of our age through our presentation, and it’s irritating to see perceived youth being characterized as an albatross. If…

If Taylor Swift has managed to convince the public at large that she’s still a virgin and can’t legally order a beer, despite being closer to 30 than 25 and a very public man eater, you can absolutely manage to be perceived as your actual age. This article is pretty tone deaf, considering how our culture venerates…

I hate Lena Dunham, but I don’t think she’s wrong to re-home an aggressive dog that bit people multiple times. I also don’t trust that shelter is being honest, because they are not going to admit that they adopted out an aggressive dog that was dangerous and bit people. That’s a huge liability for them. If your dog…

I don’t like this rug, but I stopped judging people’s home decor when I starting trying to make my apartment an actual, adult living space. That shit is soooooo expensive. My rug is pretty ugly, but it was less than $100 and helps absorb sound, so I accept it. Anyone under the age of 35 should get a pass on their…

That’s lovely.

I like your orange rug and blue coach. People are so afraid of color and it makes me sad. And your dog is cute.
