Definitely difficult to feed two people on less than that, I have no idea how one of my friends manages to do it for only $30/week. I think I spend that much per week on myself, and I don't eat out or really buy snacks during the day.

Urban Desert, I am overly familiar with this living in center city Philadelphia. I'm finally financially at a place where I can afford to shop at Trader Joe's, but before that? No way, and the two closest more affordable grocery stores were each over a mile away from me. I'm thankful that I got into a better financial…

I actually exhibit some of the same behaviors that you do, as far as posturing, because being so tall made me very uncomfortable as a kid, I always make myself smaller by pulling my arms in close and curling my spine; I also twist my legs together, like crossing them multiple times.

I actually used to date a guy who hadn't washed his hair in five years, so I can attest also that the not washing very often thing works. He just quit cold turkey and it only took about a month for his scalp oils to balance out, or so he said.

Twerk with that L&O and Thai food, is all I can respond with. I am currently watching Netflix and trying to order Chinese, but so many options!

That's what everyone is reporting! I haven't seen a good side picture to really judge the size, but I can see it being that big. A meh quality diamond of that size is usually like 20k which was why I'm not surprised if a pretty good one is twice as much.

Haha, no, just also in the industry.

Well, it's a 2 carat solitaire cut diamond, so depending on the quality of the stone I'm not surprised at all that the ring cost 40k.

Sigh, Barbz has a boyfriend and he is a lovely, sexy thing, she's not involved with Bieber.

What does that last thing even mean? Anyway, as long as he is chipping in for utilities I don't see why he would also have to pay rent if it's only for a month-ish, it's not like he's gone and moved in permanently.

I have this problem as well. Very pale with red cheeks that get redder in heat, so I cover them something fierce with foundation.

Ah, election birthday extravaganza just keeps getting better and better! I even have a storm that shares my middle name now!

Well, whatever their favorite Dawkins book is, of course!

You don't think that the people in charge of the US government will have an impact on Israel? Seriously? Also, stop referring to yourself as a "reluctant" expat, it's really obnoxious when you don't seem reluctant at all.

Quick opinions:

I'm about to go throw on my sluttiest dress and have some unprotected sex with my man, then we'll go take some Plan B for funsies. Whenever he gets back. Which is next week.

Thank you!

I just outright called my cousin a racist on facebook so I'm sure tomorrow will actually be a shitstorm for me either way. She is one, as is most of that side of my family, but I'm of course expected to never say anything...not anymore.

Today is actually my birthday, but I'm spending the evening in and on my laptop, not very interested in going out in the freezing cold and Mr. Magnolia isn't here anyway (the only way I could be convinced to go out).

My cousin posted the Black Panther link earlier today and was all "called for the killing of whites and jews?!" Calm down and stop being so racist, he's not going to whip out a glock and straight up murder you, or whatever.
