I was working as a cocktail waitress at a place that also served dinner, and I had a table of about a dozen people one night who were going to dine and then stay for the show. At the beginning of dinner the woman who appeared to be the coordinator waved at me and said they'd be paying with a company credit card, and

She looks like a cross between Megan McCain and Kelly Osbourne.

"You're welcome Meghan, and maybe one day, hey, you'll even be thankful."

god i will always see black leather gloves and assume they are murder gloves. THANKS OJ/EVERY MURDERER ON TV!!!!

ugh, "OUT OF TOWN" guy reminds me of a lady who tried to check in to the hotel i used to work at.

You've expressed how I feel perfectly. I love my husband, I would love our kids. But I love my life as is, we don't have any family members that would be able to help and I'm just not parent material. Normally I'm 100% certain in this, but I just found out two of his cousins are having babies and it makes me a little

Meanwhile I cringe at the thought of having to hear a kid babbling all day. Different strokes!

That's a really important point. I don't want children and neither does my husband, but I know that I'd love a child I made with him more than I can possibly understand. There's no one in the world I'd rather have children with than him. But I don't want children. It's a nuanced thing, for sure, despite how it's

The though of having children petrifies me, for a number of reasons, but this one is pretty high on the list. What if I don't enjoy it or regret it? I like my quiet time, solitude and have a very independent nature.

Well, the other thing no one says is that just because you regret not having children doesn't mean you should have had children. I am ambivalent about having children and people who (for some reason) want me to have them always threaten me with "regret." I'm always asked, "What if you regret not having them?" The

Thank you for this piece. As much as I dig inside me, I can't find the desire to have a child. And it's beginning to scare me because I think my husband will eventually want one.

The day I got my first job out of college, I walked into Fidelity and opened an investment account. I was young and had more time than money, so it was easier to do myself. Seven years later I got married and life started getting more complex. We brought in an advisor for a few reasons:

I have felt like I needed one for years. I'm 40-ish, single with no kids, employed and a homeowner...and although I'm "good with money" (I don't overspend, my only debt is mortgage and grad school, and I have a few small investments), I really want someone who knows what they are doing to tell me how to handle things.

Yea, free coupons.......and SPAM!

I know. The overall story here is "we hate Taylor Swift, and you should too, because reasons". Not really very nice.

Welp, this whole article was written in such a mean manner that it doesn't surprise me that fact-checking/editing wasn't a part of the process. Yeesh.

Can't edit my old post anymore, so excuse the double-post, but... I really, don't see how Taylor was making digs at Lady Gaga or Miley Cyrus. The tracksuit part looks way more Daft Punk/techno-ish with the futuristic glasses and sharp bob (which Lady Gaga hasn't rocked for like 4 years.) And what lyric did she steal

No white dancers!

I am pretty certain there were white women in the mix anyway. I thought it was a cute song, throwaway pop, sure, but still cute. She represented all kinds of dance, didn't seem to be "appropriating" any of it, but rather was just having fun traveling through all the styles. She clearly wasn't in earnest as a hip hop

I'm all for pointing out cultural appropriation and calling out those who perpetrate it, but I fail to feel outrage over this video. I mean at least Taylor thinks that it's a dance equivalent to ballet and interpretive instead of going, "eww black girls shaking their asses, yuck". And if all the dancers were white,
