Right, and even when people first language is emphasized (like it was in my program), it can be really easy to pick up the old vocabulary again from people I work with. Like "retarded" vs. mentally impaired vs. intellectually impaired, etc.

That is an interesting question only because I am not sure how the state(s) handle (and I do mean handle instead of works with) this type of situation. My guess would be that she may not have a valid license and/or the car belongs to someone else. Or, maybe she did legally obtain a license and she is driving with…

'Don't feel like getting the stats out on this, but this is why I am in my field (to prevent this bs). Students/people with mental impairment or other "special needs" are that much more likely (i.e., disproportionately) to be sexually assaulted (repeatedly) than the non- special needs general education population I…

Please tell me exactly what companies with great benefits have you worked for. Are they hiring?

Apple checks their employee's bags too...

Let's just chalk this one up to what is essentially a "women's tax" and a "black women's tax," in particular. Some humans get extremely nasty when they think someone else has not given them what they feel is "sufficient gratitude/respect." Most black women cannot just give the standard level of gratitude (or even just…

My cousin freaked me out last month when she started talking about her dislike for Asians and Muslims last month. I don't remember how we got on the topic of history, but she (she's 13) basically said she doesn't like them because of what she learned about from her history classes. When I asked her to pinpoint why,…

Taking Ibuprofen/Advil and a glass of real orange juice (100% juice not from concentrate) before drinking always helps me prevent a hangover in addition to drinking one glass of water while drinking and one glass of water when I'm done with the alcohol. Consequently, I pee a lot when drinking but that's the only…

Housekeeping/er must be a step up, right? Seriously, wanted to see this 10 seconds in, and then half way through not at all. :*(

Are you finding "Attack the Block" on Netflix Instant in the US? I want to watch that but it's not coming up.

That's crazy! Did you report them and/or is that illegal? Was there anything (looking at the whole situation in retrospect) that could have tipped you off that they were not actually looking to "hire" you?

I had to leave the US to find B-C cup bras that have easy to remove padding and straps with good quality materials!

If you live in Georgia and want to get anywhere on time, you'll need a car and insurance so please factor that into your budget. There's definitely lots of traffic here (and most people don't drive well because of a lack of driver's education in most schools and people talking and texting on their phones, among other…

...nope I doubt it's the cameras and/or infamy. I've been around people who act like the Bridezillas in every day life.

Is your mother interested in your point of view? Does your mother think your sister is manipulating you and her? Does she think that kind of passivity/manipulation is going to serve her daughter well "in the real world?"

If you're not feeling it, you're not feeling it. Let her go. Please don't get so caught up in being nice that you end up spending your time with people you're not that into.

I'm so happy and I hope you are all happy, too!!!

That's crazy! You might have to return that stuff (http://www.asos.com/infopages/pgehelpdesk.aspx#/level12/level220). Asos should refund you. 'Not sure but...Canadian Customs is probably cracking down hard for the money because a lot of people are driving a little outside of Canada to take cheaper flights into the US…

And that's exactly why I'm taking up hoodoo because most bullies don't get consequences that actually have an effect on them.
