Hearing “Creative Direct0r at Mar-ee Claire magazine” has eclipsed the dog-whistle that was once “noted fashion photographer, Nigel Barker.”

The place is always packed, with lines reminiscent of In n’ Out, which, coincidentally is literally next door.

Clearly they didn’t teach you reading comprehension strategies, like close reading.

I dunno, I’d argue that many business degrees from universities are less rigorous than many arts and humanities, social science and science degrees. My local university, which has many academically excellent programs, churns out business majors like it’s going out of style. And based on conversations with grads, the…

Well, (and gag me for defending Robin Thicke) if the due date is 3/1, then she’s about 12 weeks. Still, I’d hold off and wait for the anatomy scan to share ultrasound pics. 12 week ultrasounds are still pretty blobby.

They look like the leather bootcut jeans that the Gap sold in 2000. I know this is weirdly specific, but I worked at the Gap and patiently waited for them to go on clearance, because who buys leather pants at the Gap? I also recently donated said pair because who holds on to leather pants for seventeen years? Maybe…

I got to see Rip Torn in a touring production of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum and it was everything. This was the late ‘90's.

Based on the hashtag, I think it’s her son, Ryder, whose dad is the dude from the Black Crows.

Ugh. Run for mayor of Calabasas or Malibu if you are so desperate to get involved. Thankfully our run-off primary system in CA will keep her from a Senate seat.

I think the second bathroom makes a huge difference. Our 1946 1150 sq ft ranch is a 2 bd, 1 bath and shit for storage. I don’t want to move, but with a baby on the way, I’m stressing over 1 bathroom. I know we will survive just fine, but it’d be so nice to have an extra toilet.

Came here for Denny’s! Where else could I be 17, smoke marb lights and drink copious amounts of Diet Coke? Don’t forget the mozzarella sticks and ranch!

Oh my god, yes! The media newsletter was hilarious. My HS boyfriend’s parents were born-again and they used to get that in the mail.

I remember buying Ministry’s Filth Pig and trying really hard to like it. Alas, it quickly fell out of rotation and back to Korn I went. I think Korn is the most embarrassing band I liked. Otherwise I think most of the stuff I listened to was ok. I remember publicly stating that I disliked NIN because it was too…

It wasn’t though. Most of us dressed like Tracy Flick in Election. Or cobbled together weird thrift store ensembles from the seventies. Those were kinda cool. I think you are thinking about the early nineties, which was more an extension of the eighties.

I also remember that issue of YM. I was in 6th grade and just getting into fashion mags. I remember thinking Prom seemed soooooo far away.

Thank you. I’ve worked with both children and adults in SH classrooms and and adult day programs. Many of them have moderate to severe autism. My SIL has moderate autism and can not live fully independently. When my inlaws pass away, my husband and I will be in charge of her care. Her life is a life worth living. She…

Well, you don’t have to validate it either. You say, “I’m sorry to hear that your son experienced this.” Because you are correct that many symptoms of autism present around the same time that children receive vaccines. Autism can be really tricky to diagnose, especially 25 years ago. My SIL, who is 35, had a dual…

This is a legitimate concern, but if you are already a runner, and you stick to flat, paved surfaces, you should be fine. I’m 13 weeks and now that my morning sickness has finally subsided, I’m back to jogging. I really miss my trail runs, and I’m running shorter distances now, but it feels really good to lace up the…

TRUTH. I hate it. We are going to one-to-one iPads next year, and admin wants us to use google classroom, which isn’t the worst, EXCEPT I have four years worth of curriculum handouts, painstakingly formatted in word. Docs does not like it when I upload word docs. Fuckers! (I know, I know, people hate word, but I was a…

Damn! What’s it called? Which winery? If I wasn’t preggo, I’d go, too. Gotta put it on next year’s calendar. Babies can totally go to wineries, right?
