This was what I came here to say, and it was certainly the case for me when I was unemployed. I sent out 20-30 resumes per week, called, networked, went to continuing legal education events, and still couldn’t find work for 10 months (until I found a job at a retail store and worked part time while I volunteered

You better not have sex with anyone, ever, then because estimates put herpes I & II at about 80% of the population, it’s just that the majority of people will never show symptoms. And yes you can get genital herpes I from oral sex.

But what’s a super-murder even like? How does it differ from a regular murder?

This is SO beautiful.

Guys, guys, settle down. What Sean MEANT to say was that, instead of gassing people in their homes, Hitler at least had the decency to round them up into cattle cars and take them to Holocaust Centers™ where they could be gassed outside the view of the decent, Jesus-fearing general public.

Stop using whitening toothpaste. It doesn’t work, and it makes your teeth sensitive. Even the Sensodyne is a self-correcting circle: it has the whitening ingredient, which causes sensitivity, which then makes you need more Sensodyne. Brilliant marketing.

In case you ever wondered why women don’t leave their abusers, this is fucking why. Because this stuff is way more likely to happen when she leaves than when she just stays in the relationship.

We had a super creepy dude who, among other things, blasted extremely loud, obscene rap (I’m not clutching my pearls, but there’s a time and a place). Then he began discussing how one of his fares was a gay man and he didn’t want to anger “the gays” because they apparently have super-strength and super-murder-powers

Really though? I hate to be “that person,” but has it occurred to you that you are still single because you see a watermelon allergy or a lot of sweating as a deal breaker? I realize you are being hyperbolic, but hear me out. I am not telling you to give the poor, abusive men out there a chance (WON’T SOMEONE THINK OF

I’d add that they probably don’t want hypersexualized female sidekicks so much as hypersexualized female prizes.

You’d be surprised. I love my job; I don’t find it to be heartbreaking work at all. Most of the time, my clients have already separated and are getting counseling, so I don’t “process” through all of the trauma-related fallout. Instead, I get to see them when someone (one person of several, usually) believes them,

I work in a field where domestic violence is about 90% of my case work, so when I come home and remind my husband (often tearfully) that I appreciate his kindness to me and that I’ve never been (justifiably) afraid of him, he always feels so bad because he feels like this: really? This is really what you’re thanking

I know this is kinda random, but I really appreciate guys with boundaries. You have no idea how uncommon that is.

I do this with male friends, ALL THE TIME (so like, once every couple months, I’m an introvert guys), including but not limited to the spouses of my female friends. Since jealousy is a deal-breaker for me, if hubby can’t hang, he’s welcome not to let the screen door hit him in the (very sexy) ass on the way out. I

You sure did! I was just distinguishing the PSLF from the teacher loan forgiveness program. I was pretty stoked when I read that.

The public service loan forgiveness program also does not count the forgiven loans as income, so no tax will be owed on it. I actually thought the reverse was true, so this was a welcome surprise when I read the FAQ’s on the Dept. of Ed. website.

Submit the form every year, or any time you change employers. The FAQ on the PSLF website says that if you wait until the end, you’ll have to submit a form for each employer you worked for during the qualifying period, so if you plan on working at the same place, you’re good.

Mmm cream cheese. I love all cheese, but cream cheese has a special comfort-food status in my heart. Claire, if you like pepper jelly with cream cheese, try this: http://pickapeppa.com/
My mom used to serve that as an appetizer with cream cheese and bland, unsalted crackers (plenty of salt in the cream cheese). I think
