There’s a difference between rape and coercion. I don’t know if I know any women who have not been coerced. What you do you think it’s called when a woman says “I’m not in the mood” and the guy begs and pleads and bitches until he gets his way? Hell, it was a common plot in 90's-era sitcoms. Sexual coercion happens a…

Oh

I might try that! I’ve been using argan oil and it doesn’t seem to be making much of a difference. I’ve never really had the self-esteem necessary to put much effort into my appearance until recently, so I’m kind of new to all of this.

Is there something nice or helpful you could do for him? You say he has done a lot for you - maybe he wants to feel taken-care-of too (not that I’m saying that hasn’t happened).

You can do it! I just ended a several-year-long stint at a job that, from what it sounds like, was very similar to yours. Now I’m out in a much better position. The best thing is that after working in such a shitty environment, working in a normal workplace is awesome!

Have you ever listened to Little Birdy? They were around in the early 00's and from Australia. I don’t remember where I heard them, but I fell in love with their song “Baby Blue” pretty fast. They’re very unique, style-wise - a little like No Doubt.

This is just my method, but as someone who also has an overbearing and stubborn mother, my tactic is just to nod and say “maybe,” then continue doing my thing. Easiest not to argue with her.

Aww what a sweet baby! We used some sort of fish oil to fatten up one of our furbabies after we adopted her -they sell it at Petsmart. You just squirt a bit in their food. It worked well. Very well. Our girl is now kind of a chub now so maybe we overdid it a little.

Somebody please help me with my hair. I’m white, so my hair strands are fairly thin, but there’s a lot of it and it’s slightly wavy - so, often tangled. I have to wash it every morning (I know, I know, but I just can’t stand it to go unwashed for over 24 hours) and it’s SO DRY. I also have to blow dry it every morning…

Good evening, Jezzies! Has anyone else ever felt, after starting a new job, that coworkers are being nice but secretly conspiring to fire you? Is that part of imposter syndrome? Or is it because I had a pretty terrible job previously and it’s hard for me to comprehend that people can actually like me and be nice to me…

Right? You Trump people know you can’t have it both ways, right? You can’t build your wall and kick all the Mexicans out AND enjoy delicious, authentic Mexican food! You can’t say that all Mexicans are rapists and criminals AND expect them to share their tasty victuals!

IMO, Kourtney is the most attractive out of all of them. And also seems like the best person as well. Ever since Khloe “got hot” she’s become awfully catty (although I don’t watch the show regularly, just catch it occasionally at the gym).

I love your screen name.

Same here. Last job paid well, but I was literally worried for my sanity (the stress was so insane I was getting paranoid, snapping at little things, etc). It was so worth the pay cut I took to be where I am now. I’m broke but I’m happy - just like the Alanis song!

I will second that and also add raw asparagus.

That’s not that big of an age gap. I’ve known men who date women young enough to be their GRANDdaughters. He’s not even young enough to be your son - go for it.

It’s pretty offensive. She’s saying that she’s a white girl with a “black girl” booty, but she’s implying that only white people live in LA (people assume is swanky) and only black people live in Oakland (people assume is the hood).

Amen. But all hope is not lost - I’ve met a few handsome, successful men in their ‘50's that married smart, successful women in their ‘50's. So they are out there.

I love how guys over 40 all think they’re George Clooney.

She could use a lesson or two from Miss Jay.
