Yeah, what was with the whole deal with Tess of the D'Urbervilles? I thought for sure the author must have read a completely different book.

I had double cousin-ry somewhere up the line. I learned at a reunion for my "fringe" side of the family, and I was so worried some kind of incest was being covered up since a lot of our family documents showed signs of being tampered with (Nazi Germany and all).

I agree. Once I've made up my mind about cutting someone out the decision is final. And unfortunately I know how you feel about discovering your best friend is awful...mine ended up being such a horrible person I have no idea how I was able to maintain a relationship with her for so long.

Same here!

I think I'd rather start a blog elsewhere, personally

You're right, I never even thought about that. I know of several nearby stores that sell more obscure brands that probably wouldn't be stocked at CVS

Thanks for the info! Honestly, it seems like getting permanently un-greyed requires a lot more effort than it's worth.

Yeah, I'm not really bothered by the advertising itself (everybody does it) but by how obnoxious it is here in particular. Just seems so out of touch considering the nature of what's usually published here

I guess there has to be somebody on here buying all these "must haves" but who is going to spend $80 on a make-up bag?

I only started following Jez about a year ago. The guidelines for commenting and getting un-greyed are pretty vague and unhelpful. Honestly it reads more like a clique than anything else.

Yeah, I remember they did that to Pope Alexander when she posted EGR's selfies on her post saying selfies were a cry for help. I mean I guess they can do whatever they want with comments, but sometimes I really have to roll my eyes at the way they handle things. I still don't get the gray thing—like I'm pretty sure…

Yeah literally just noticed that too haha. Ah, well.

Yeah here in NJ you can only get booze at liquor stores. If I could buy a bottle of wine while running errands without having to make a special trip I'd be a pretty happy camper.

I wish I saw the comments before they shut down now haha. I've always wondered if anyone actually takes advantage of the "special prices" they advertise.

Especially when you consider how critical they are of Gwyneth Paltrow for pretty much doing the same thing.

Someone else mentioned that smokers may go elsewhere if they can buy cigarettes and drug-store products all in the same place

Where do you live that you can buy alcohol at CVS?

Holy shit, that is just plain awful=(

Oh, I totally agree. Also, whoever wrote that was a friend of Woody's so obviously he's going to do whatever he can to make him look like the real victim here.

Ahh, got it. And it makes sense.
