My dad is out of town, so my mom mailed me a birthday card and a check meant to be from both of them. Should I not spend it and wait for my dad sue me to get it back?

I know people will say that I don’t get it, the point is that V. is an awful person etc etc, but it seems like this is a terrible precedent to set.…

I buy a ton from LE for my husband, my daughter and myself and IME it just doesn’t wear out. I have a raincoat that is five years old and I wish I could justify buying a new one, but the old one still looks new.

That’s called “the Paterno”.

I don't believe any of these stories. I was a server, and now eat out all the time and people are brusque and do the "honey" and "sweetheart" BS and tip poorly and are super picky, but I've never had anything thrown at me. I think these are bad customer fanfic.

I hate the phrase “shitting out kids” and assholes say it all the time. Birthing a baby is nothing like taking a shit. It’s misogynist language and you should stop.

average age of menopause in the western world is about 50.

there’s no reason she shouldn’t be able to nurse.

She has 13 others, the eldest of whom is 45, who can help.

It sounds like you’re a shitty roommate tbh. Don’t have friends over all night long. It’s rude. People have to go to work in the morning.

Yes. Not really white, like creamy ivory. Not chocolatey-looking at all.

I should say conversion “therapy”.

And in conversion therapy—they show men gay porn and then shock them, and then “measure” the success of this technique by showing them gay porn with a plethysmograph attached. Lather, rinse, repeat until there’s no detectable arousal.

You’re a man.

Yes, fashion is one aspect of conspicuous consumerism but definitely not the only one.

Alaska Air is crap, as another person who grew up in Alaska. But medical emergencies happen with people who don't look sick as well—what if someone has a heart attack or a stroke or a diabetic crisis or some other unforeseen problem? It happens, and being without a convenient place to land for help is one of the risks…

And what if a dude has a heart attack or goes into a diabetic coma? Shit happens, deal with it.

Lands’ End has awesome work clothes up to size 24. The styles are sometimes not the most exciting but they’re durable and well-made and well-tailored and last forever. If you watch for sales, it’s pretty reasonable too.

Where I live, straight size women all wear Miss Me jeans, which are heavily bedazzled. It’s not just a fat thing.

I have those leggings. I love them so much.
