velour...whatever these are...NO

I actually kinda like these in a weird fashion way

I was in the black on Kitchenette, then went back to grey (which kind of annoys me so I now go there less), and doubt I’ll ever be in the black on Jezebel.

I know right?

My husband is from the Bangor area (like, one town away) and says yeah, he’s never met Stephen King but everyone knows where he lives and there’s a local understanding to just be cool, leave Steve alone, he’s just a regular Bangor guy. So if you see him out and about and get all “OHMIGOD STEPHEN KING” everyone…

I live in Taiwan and across the street from me is a 7-11. There is another one down the street, a bit farther of a walk but no need to cross. If I walk left to the end of the lane and turn left there’s another one about a 3-minute walk away, and if I walk right to the end of the lane in the other direction and turn…

They have to do it on their own time to start teaching. Once teaching, if you are told - not asked, but told - to move to a grade/subject for which you are not certified the school ought to pay. They’re moving you without your consent to an area you are *not* certified to teach, ergo, they have to make sure you are…

They should have paid her until the mess was sorted out, figured out a way to get her teaching something she was certified to teach, and offered to pay for the certification if they really wanted her in 5th grade.

Duh. I mean...seriously duh. It was their mistake, they get to find a way to fix it.

Why on earth did she have to be convinced to take early retirement? Why not just...duh....move her back to the grade she was great at teaching?

Then she should be paid - it was THEIR mistake after all - until THEY can sort out the mess, and they should be paying for her certification for the level they want her to teach, if they’re not giving her a choice.

OK, then in that case the school is responsible for finding her a position they deem her certified to teach, rather than putting the onus on her to fix the problem. Secondly, they ought to be paying for that certification, not her.

Yup. They also persecute Muslims. They consider Burmese Muslims to be second-class citizens at best, at worst they imply that they are not Burmese citizens by calling them “Bengalis” (I think one group is ethnically Bengali, but that doesn’t mean they’re not Burmese citizens, and not every Muslim in Myanmar is…

Except that household work is unpaid, so accepting that as a perfectly fine norm basically bakes one aspect of the gender pay gap into society. Perhaps those women work fewer hours because they know most of the housework will fall to them, and don’t particularly like the fact that this causes them to earn less and,…

I’m guessing he saw you drop your keys, got a copy made, gave you yours back...but I’m not sure how he’d have gotten in after you changed the locks.

Bard! (I’m from the Hudson Valley and 2 of my friends went thre...long after Reagan was out though.)

TThis one I definitely believe (I have a harder time with the really supernatural ones). Because, as with my story above where an external voice (androgynous, not mine) told me to look in the one place that allowed me to see a person in a car casing my house without being seen (a downstairs bathroom mirror angled just…

I’m gonna post my story here since I missed the original call. I may have posted last year, I don’t remember, but I’m perpetually gray so...

Anyway, one day as a teenager I was home alone washing dishes (my assigned chore). The main kitchen window looks out on our neighbor’s meadow, and a patch of road. If you see a…

Note “body language” above.

Have there been any cases at all where someone got their *actual boyfriend or girlfriend* thrown out of college on a *false* rape accusation? Has that EVER happened?
