But isn't the ability to pay for those things what "middle class" really means?

I call bullshit on a lot of the "lower-bound" numbers. Maybe $25,000 can be "middle class" for one person, but if you add in a child/children/unemployed spouse, there's no way in hell $25,000 is "middle class."

It’s kind of a...I dunno, shallow?... suggestion, but a new outfit or two always perks me up when I’m feeling blah at work.

I do all of these things, plus limit to 1200 calories/day, plus exercise (about 20 min a day - I have 12-hour work days, so I’m doing my best here) and I’ve lost a whole 12 pounds in the last 3 months. I’ll lose 4, gain 2 back, lose 6, gain 4 back, etc. So frustrating. Has anyone had success with gradually losing…

Yeah, I get that. It knocks me out too.

Luckily, I was blessed with a very weak gag reflex and very rarely throw up. I was anorexic in grade school and actually tried to be bulimic but couldn’t make myself throw up due to said weak gag reflex, so I did “diet pills” (translation: glorified, overpriced laxatives) instead. It does, however, get annoying when I…

Oh gosh - poor you! Dumb question: have you ever taken Dramamine for the motion sickness? I LOVE that stuff.

Oh, I'm totally going to be an old hippie with long silver hair someday. And I'm going to wear lots of turquoise jewelry too.

I haven't found a good tailor in the city either, but I can offer you this piece of advice: do not go to a cheap dry cleaners for tailoring. Trust me on this.

I’m the only woman in my small office and I, by far, do the most work and put in the most hours (including frequent overtime I don’t even ask to be paid for). Every payday, my boss and coworkers make it seem like it’s a burden to pay me and that they’re doing me some sort of favor. Every. Goddamn. Payday. But of…

The answer is simple: If you (male or female) are not down with oral sex, don't do it - but don't expect it in return either. There ya go.

I used to work at a low-quality high-priced teen clothing store in college. There were 3 managers. Each had a different protocol for what to do when a customer came in - for example, one wanted everyone to greet the customer, give them time to look around, then ask if they needs help; another wanted everyone to greet…

Haha a boy I asked out in high school told me he couldn't date me because he was Mormon and his parents wouldn't let him.

It's not dehydration, don't worry. Just cotton mouth. Common side effect; try not to let it make you worried about dehydration.

I agree. I can count on one hand the number of kids at my high school who didn't smoke weed, and most of them graduated, went on to college, got good jobs, etc. This was about a decade ago, but I don't see why it would be different now. Sure, there were the stoners who just didn't care but they didn't really care…

There are small vaporizors you can buy, I believe. One hit or two out of a pipe is probably not going to have any effect on your lungs. I would advise against edibles; they're usually pretty strong and, since they're really designed for medical use, aren't very fun (they would probably just knock you out for a couple…

Driving while drunk and driving while high are two very different things. In my experienced, when someone is high they usually drive more safely and slowly than normal because of the paranoia.

Weed being cut with other drugs may have happened 20 or 30 years ago, but with the medical marijuana industry, I don't think that happens very often. I think that nowadays most marijuana even sold on the street is probably medical-grade. Of course, that's not to say that some fucked up people might still lace…

I LOVE this collection and would seriously buy all the clothes.

Have you seen the show? I didn't get it either until I started watching the show.
