All water whether tap water or bottled is basically dinosaur urine anyway. If your tap water is that bad get a filtration system and reusable bottles.

I can understand something just not looking right on you. I have tiny hands so anything huge would look monstrous on me. My husband was only insistent on one point; the ring was going to be white gold because he read The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant Unbeliever as a teen. In that series white gold was considered…

I once worked with someone like that. She actually told me that she would have actually broken up with her husband if he’d presented her with anything less than 2 carats. At least her husband knows that big rock is more important than he is.

What “culture war” are christian conservatives even talking about? I never knew being a hateful bigot was an actual culture.

I lost quite a bit of respect for her because of that.

Me too. I don't understand the mindset that would allow someone (a former coworker actually) to call her boss and tell him she couldn't go on an upcoming business trip because of a death in her family. How does anyone, anywhere think that's funny?

As a woman who is married to one of three adopted children and myself a stepmother to two (one adopted) I cannot agree with this more. I get really tired of people acting like you can't love a child because it isn't biologically yours.

My mother is the exact opposite of that because raising me was her only identity. She had me so she could have a cute little doll to dress up in cute little outfits so people could coo over me and tell her what a wonderful mommy she is and how beautiful her little girl is. I betrayed her by actually growing up and…

I used to get those. Once I hit 40 the cramps got better, but my flow doubled to what it was before.

OMG I wish I knew about those in my 20's and 30's. I just haven't had much cramping since I hit 40.

What makes you think the people protesting this ridiculous billboard are at all okay with any of the things you cite? I know I'm not.

It's exactly a sense of history that informs me that this is a shitty ad. I'll grant that it's not as bad as the ads for using Lysol as a douche or the one of a man spanking his wife for making him crappy coffee, but it is definitely in that milieu.

Oh absolutely! When I commit to an event I feel terrible canceling for legitimate reasons so I can't even imagine just deciding to go to something else because it seems more fun.

That fills me with vicarious joy.

I'm in the same boat, and yes hot and mayonnaise are really not appetizing in appearance at all.

I think her reasoning was that a better offer might come along and she'd feel bad about canceling. My opinion on that is if you're only coming to see me because a better offer didn't come along please do us both a favor and stay home.

I'm sorry you got suspended for that. If I had been your boss you'd have gotten a raise on the spot right in front of the douchey customer.

It's not like birthdays really sneak up on you; mine happens the same day every year.

I used to hang out with a woman who wouldn't RSVP to invitations and would just show up at parties, cookouts, or dinners with her husband and kids in tow and expect to be fed. I broke her of that habit by not having enough food* for the four of them once when they pulled that. They ended up having to go get fast food…

I'm going to try one sometime, but I'm going to apologize profusely to the barista who has to prepare it because I know I would have been horrified to make one in my barista-ing days. I try not to say something is disgusting without having ever tried it.
