Sears catalog baby!

Same. I don’t even give to the beggars/vagrants in my own city. Partly out of personal safety, often because I don’t have any change, but mainly because I have friends who have worked with the homeless organizations in town who say that the best thing to do is to give to a reputable charity. That is what is going to…

It's clearly just a fancy way of saying she's allergic to facts. She avoiding gluten, dairy, coffee and facts.

I actually met quite a few older couples abroad at hostels. They are usually splurging for the pricier private room, but you'd still see them in the lounges and at meals.

The key to actually end up speaking to others beyond ticket takers is to stay in hostels I think. A lot of times you'll meet other people to venture out with, and from there you can chat up locals. You get the additional safety of numbers, to give you a modicum of a security blanket if you need it. Also, before I…

I’m more of a last show of the day in the suburbs. It usually means I get to sit in the back row completely alone too. Went to see The Woman in Gold alone last weekend and there were only about 6 other people there, which meant I got to cry at the end and not have to worry.

Whoa! You just blew my mind because that is exactly how I feel! Guys here are so boring (especially Ottawa), but as soon as I meet someone who is visiting or just immigrated, I turn into a shameless flirt.

Right? I ended up hanging out mostly with Americans/Australians when I was there.

Ottawa, home of the eternally boring and conservative.

I'm a Canadian living in Canada. Maybe that's where I'm failing? ;)

Apparently you're having way better results than what I can get in my own backyard.

When I went to Poland (Krakow specifically) the guys seemed pretty sweet, which jives with all the other Polish dudes I've met at home as well. My best friend's husband is from a Gdansk and he's so nice!
Didn't get the best vibe off of Czech guys.

This movie is 16 years old? I feel so ancient. Especially since I begged and got a haircut like Rachel Leigh Cook that I could not maintain. I need to go watch this on Netflix tonight.

My hair cutting trick is that I did grow my hair out very long. When I had short hair I was paying about $45 every 6 weeks, plus all the extra products I needed to get it under control. Years ago I pushed through and grew it all out, and now I pay $60 when I get it cut at the fancy salon. But, I only go every 6…

Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy doing the social committee on occasion and I enjoy getting to be part of the decision making on where we’re going to have the xmas party, but I feel like there is definite pressure to run/participate in all events. Point of fact, I’m currently looking at a sticky note one of my colleagues…

Thank you! We are “volun-told” to run a lot of the social/ charitable events in my job and it pisses me off sometimes as an admin. I feel very powerless in the face of my Director or the VP to be able to say no.

I think I look pretty, or at least can look cute, but I'm not entirely sure how others perceive me. I think I'm pretty in an average sort of way, as in there is nothing objectionable about my appearance, but neither is there a stunning highlight feature.

Both of my grandmother’s fell into the social obligation trap.

What I'm confused by is that despite your supposed love of ketchup, you don't have ketchup flavoured chips, which are the best flavour out there. I feel sad for you America.

Why must everything for plus ladies be online only? I get that a lot more people are buying online, but I still enjoy the store-front experience. I have only been successful with an online clothing purchase once, all other times it doesn't fit and them I'm out the extra cash to return the damn thing.
