Agreed. Love the green dress and the middle dress. Would totally wear these to the music festival in my town. Just wish they would have made them a little longer. I hate where my thighs meet my knees, so would prefer to have it at least a little longer, so I can wear my bike shorts underneath too.

My mom wants me to push her down the stairs, if she starts to get dementia/Alzheimers, which is where I got the inspiration. She's only 60, but I think the fact that she's always been a little absent-minded is starting to worry and frustrate her more. Especially since we've all been having to see my grandmother slowly…

It's not really indefinitely though is it? She's 85 and still a mortal being. At some point in the near future she will pass on, and with it her knowledge.

I think about getting old just the other day as I'm looking to buy my first home. I have no partner and no real prospects or desire for one, and I most definitely don't want children. I am an only child and not close to the couple of cousins that I do have. So I wonder, what will happen once my parents are gone and…

Same boat. 93 y/o grandmother who is completely no longer in this realm. I don't want to have to be in a home and be back in diapers and forgetting to go eat meals. I want to remember who my family are. I figure once I start to feel myself slipping, I'll just throw myself down the stairs and hope for a merciful end.

So much this!!! We had days where I live where we had 10 min exposure frostbite warnings this winter. Everyone wears a parka, and the people who don't are either the fashionistas who aren't in touch with reality, or the big fancy execs who go directly from their car to the indoor parking to the office. All the rest of…

Samsies on the parka issue. Lady, there is no way some wool overcoat is going to keep you warm enough when there's a goddamn polar vortex and it's -20 with the wind chill. 95% of the people in my city wear parkas in the winter, because if you don't you'll freeze your skin off! We were getting 10 min exposure frostbite…

Oh my god, my cat is a Swiss Chalet fiend too! And bbq'd salmon in the summer.

Oh my god, I'm getting my ruler out the next time I get a sub!

Just to be that person: They might have thought you sold a baker's dozen (ie. 13). I used to work selling corn in the summers and people would ask me that all the time, because some of them wanted to pick out their own and shuck it at the stand rather than at home. So it was fairly common. People wanted to know if we…

That's what came to mind when he said mixed. I'd love to have a medley of eggs.

...spends her days storming around Capitol Hill with a drawn sword, slashing Republican staffers and farting in the Senate elevator just to terrorize people.

I had something similar in Poland where with the exchange rate I was tipping tour guides about $5, but it was worth something exorbitant in zloty. Didn't break the bank for me and I made some university grad students on summer jobs really happy.

Aww I loved that movie. It was actually quite romantic and self-empowering. Hopefully some of the dunces who read FS will find this and see what a healthy relationship is supposed to look like.

You pretty much nailed it (at least at my fairly well attended church). The men there are the grey-hairs and a few husbands who are there with the entire family. There isn't much of a single's crowd either, so I think the younger/middle-aged are mainly people who have returned to the Church after some time away.

Glad you loved my city! I think it's generally understood that your best bet would be to try and get a job first, then have them sponsor you to come to Canada. If you are serious, please check out: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/ My guess is if you're relatively young and white, chances are the current Conservative…

All I know is that I literally just got out from seeing Selma at the theatre and it was awesome! Definitely had me crying in the back row.

I have always interpreted the "God doesn't make mistakes" thing to mean that we are born the way we are for a reason, and that the way we are includes people with defects, disabilities and who are LGBT+. If homosexuality exists in lesser creatures, then I would take it that He would be okay with it in His most perfect…

Also wanted to say thank you Kelly for helping me to reconcile my love of romance novels with being a feminist. I used to always be partly ashamed because it's widely considered to be fluff and not as important as "real" literature, and I felt like It typecast me as a stereotypical silly little woman who only thinks…

I haven't been able to finish No Good Duke... because I find it to be the weak link. Should I force my way through before going onto Never Judge a Lady?
