Arlen? Spa-peggy and meatballs? LOL

definitely a thing! Puking, hives, massive shits . . .all a range of normal bodily reactions to intense/acute stress.

Am I the only one who finds it weird that the item used to announce a plus size clothing collection is one that emphasises a much slimmer silhouette to anyone who will be wearing the collection?

I too hope it’s a one off. I can’t imagine the market for irony being a priority here. People need larger, fashionable clothes. They don’t need to be a walking commentary on body politics.

This doesn’t look like something with a ‘real clothes for big people’ ethos. The applique has the proportions of a straight size model and everything outside of that is shrouded in a shapeless black tent. Still, it’s one piece from a line so let’s see the rest

I hate this design, low end or high end. It is full-on body shaming.

I’m so thankful for you starting this thread and others who have commented. It’s oddly comforting to hear that so many other people have this. Always thought I was just weird.

To me this looks like a fat guy wearing a t-shirt with abs on it—not “celebrating” a bigger figure but poking fun at the distance between the body and the ideal.

That Xtina story just sounds like Don Draper in 2/3 of Mad Men episodes...

And that's why I don't do cardio- don't wanna get pregnant.

I told my family as they were dropping us off at the airport last year that we would not be coming down for the holidays again, then the offers to pay for our tickets etc started rolling in last month. I almost took the opportunity but even thinking about holiday travel was taking a toll on me. I am very excited to…

I fly four times a week. The problem is not the airlines so much as it is the passengers who make life miserable for everyone. First issue: Wardrobe: no one wants to be stuck next to a slob in sweatpants, no matter how “fashiony” your jogger sweats from Urban Outfitters seem to you, it is still your fucking pajamas…

I don’t mind the extra wait. I like to go through the backscatter machine a few times, to work on my tan and give the TSA lads a little something to gawk at.

I thought Sarah Koenig and the Serial team asked everyone to politely refrain from reporting on this story.

my brothers enjoyed waking me up by farting in my face and waiting for me to smell it and wake up pissed off

You need to find out what company the hospital uses to do their background checks, and file an appeal with them. The minute you file an appeal, all recruitment for the opening stops while they sort it out. You will also get a copy of the full background check that triggered the denial. I would not assume you’re being…

You could get hired someplace you hate and use your powers to shut that down!

This sounds awful. I’m job hunting right now and its *the worst*. Here’s hoping HR clears things up and you still get to work your dream job.

Haha, what does this guy do? Just call the US Secretary of Defense and thank him for keeping Canada safe?

The real question isn’t whether or not “Wonderful Christmastime” is the worst song McCartney ever wrote, it’s whether or not “Wonderful Christmastime” is the worst song anyone ever wrote.
