This! I once dated a guy who couldn't seem to grasp why many women painted their toenails but not their fingernails, no matter how many times I tried to explain it to him.

I do not like this. At all. I feel the same way about "duets" between a live singer and a dead one. Ick.

You're not alone!

It makes me so mad that surgeons can get away with being total assholes like that. I'm sorry you are having to wait too.

I'm sure she'll appreciate an apology. If it makes you feel any better, I once got on a plane hysterical because of some crap my coworkers pulled on me and was rude to a flight attendant (and she called me on it). I was beyond being rational at that moment. Sometimes these things happen, and we just have to hope…

Thank you - I appreciate the advice!

Thank you so much! Yes, I'm in a big city. It seems like everything in my price range is old and needs major updating (which I can't afford & don't have a desire to do) or has some major flaw, usually something you can't even tell exists until you see the place in person (e.g., road noise). I looked a few years ago…

Yes, it sucks that someone you cared about would pull that shit on you. Hugs.

I don't blame you for being beyond pissed. The first thing I'd do is wait a few days to make a decision. You can't think clearly or in your best interest while you're seething. Then I'd ask yourself, do you think this surgeon is the best person to do the job? Is he known for being skilled in this particular area? If…

When I was in college I spent a semester of school chasing down an ex who wouldn't give back some books I lent him. One in particular I was desperate to get back because I had bought it on a trip to London and knew it was irreplaceable. Well, fast-forward 20 years, and I haven't touched that irreplaceable book since…

First-world problem: I've been looking for a condo to buy for 10 months now. It's been very discouraging. Does anybody have an encouraging story to share — like you looked for a year and then found the perfect place?

In general, I am happy to let scrunchies stay dead. However, there is a tiny part of me that still loves one scrunchie from the 90s that I haven't had the heart to toss, made of a beautiful turquoise-colored silk. The Rolls Royce of scrunchies. That tiny part of me wouldn't mind letting that one scrunchie see the…

Now if they could just take care of that pesky problem of messages I never receive and emails my recipients never get ...

My mother doesn't get this either. My dad died a few years ago, and one week she'll tell me how much she misses him, and the next she's rattling off a new story of how he was abusive toward her. I know my dad was far from perfect, but it hurts so much to be told over & over how rotten he was — and I never know from…

Having lost my dad a few years ago, I understand how difficult these days can be. I would think anyone who has lost a parent would understand that you have to deal with it in your own way. That anyone would put pressure on you to do things according to their expectations makes me angry. Sending e-hugs.

Thanks for the review!

I too am pregnant with a food baby. If only it were acceptable to wear maternity tops ...

Unfortunately I don't have any great advice, but I wanted to tell you I'm sorry and send an e-hug. "Beth" sounds like a piece of work. :(

Hope you feel better soon! :(

Congrats - and thanks for giving me hope!
