The Lyin', the Witch, and the Wardrobe

My eyes are super SUPER sensitive. Ans red as I type this. I've heard other good things about the Advanced Night Repair. I take it you haven't had any sensitivity issues with it?

I've been battling a summer chest cold too. I actually got a puffer from the doctor because I have cold-induced asthma. Can you believe it?

Don't feel bad about wearing black to a wedding. It used to be not the done thing because black was for funerals, so wearing it to a wedding was seen as an insinuation that the marriage was doomed. Now both of those traditions are falling away. The last few times I went to a funeral, few people were wearing black but…

Adults spread that crap too... I caught my boss's cold last week. Boooo.

Kids bring home all the plagues.

I always just text a photo of anything that might be questionable (black red, back with white) to the bride or someone in the wedding party. Seal of approval!

I don't have a career in writing, so what do I know... But I do have an MFA in writing that I haven't put to use. Finished that degree and just sorta fell into a tech job with a culture that I really fit into, completely unrelated to writing, and just stuck with it. Always wondered if I ever could have made it in a…

I feel like it's worse when a member of the wedding party or a reasonably close relation wears white. I went to a wedding once where the mother of the bride work a formal, white gown.

I feel your pain - I'm a teacher and a parent, our school year starts Monday. I'm loading up on Vit C, Zinc drops, and water —- lots of water.

Thank you!

The only thing that encouraged me to make an account is the fact that they got rid of the greys. I've been reading Jezebel since 2007.

I would try explaining to your boyfriend that family means different things to different people. I'm close with my entire family, extended family included, but my boyfriend really only talks to his mom and one of his siblings. At first I thought it was weird because my family means the world to me but not everyone is…

See, I know I'm really sick when I don't even feel like having a glass of Teacher Juice, ha! I'm sipping ginger ale and eating Ritz crackers. No grandparents to send the kid to, and our house is being remodeled, so there is really no room that is functional except our bedroom. The kid is sitting on the foot of the…

I had bad headache today. It may have been a migraine. I threw up in the bathroom sink after my neighbor started his chainsaw/leaf blower/torture device. Thank god for Vicodin, and for my lovely husband, who took our son out of the house for most of the day.

Sorry you feel bad. Our kids just started back, no doubt I'll have the horrid crud within a week.

YES. I know the authors are really busy, but it would be great if they could go through and follow people. The purpose of the greys at this point is not the same as the old grey system. The point is to create a system of trust, right, and keep the creepos out.

I did it!!!!

When I was in middle school, I knew this classic Mean Girl who had a keychain that stated: "I have PMS, DMS and AMS [definitions spelled out] SO WATCH OUT!" and even in 8th grade I would think, aren't you a little young to think you have such problems with that stuff you should joke about it?

Now, as a 30 yr old…

I love evolutionary game theory, and I especially love game theory that pits the sexes of a same species against one-another. That is a fascinating study.
