I have a lot of thoughts.

Hahaha, you know, there are times where I think back to some of my fashion choices in my early 20s and wish I had a friend that told me, no, you REALLY can't wear that. I'm looking at you, lavender glitter butterfly tube top I actually wore "clubbing" in.

I'm going to have to agree with your friend. You have a good friend.

I got this sucker on Gilt - the Whythe NY puffer coat with faux fur trim. It's super warm, not too "shiny" (which I don't particularly like on puffer coats), and has this awesome extra warm underlayer (shown zipped up on the model), so it's the warmth of wearing a fleece underneath the regular puffer coat! The…

I saw that at Sephora - I am SO JEALOUS!!! Looks amazing!!

I already have all the colors I need, which is why I really have stopped buying nail polishes recently. There was a while where I was amassing major amounts of higher end stuff because I had recently stopped biting my nails and, dammit, I'm worth it. Nail art is exhausting, and I just am not ambidextrous enough to…

Two mildly related points:

No. Not drugging your kid isn't "inadequate" parenting. Get your head out of your ass.

You have no idea what the parents' circumstances are. My and my twin brother were on an even longer international flight when we were a year old because we were emigrating to america. No way around having to fly kids in that situation!

Absolutely. Moral of the story? BRING BACK FREE WINE ON FLIGHTS! Did you know that on little dinky 50 minute intra-european flights, they have a cart that comes around and gives you free wine and a fucking baguette? THAT'S why european children are so well behaved - their parents are a little drunk.

No, you're not going to force parents to drug their kids. Flying is terrible for everyone, screaming children don't help, but let's not pretend that we're entitled to anything different.

I was on a flight from Paris to NYC a couple of years ago and there was a kid (maybe 4 or so) who screamed the entire time. When I say "screamed" I mean "screamed" and when I say "the entire time" I mean "the entire time." It got to the point where you stopped even being annoyed and just worried about the kid…

Real talk, why do you need to touch ANYTHING. It's walking down an aisle. Do you grab canned goods in the grocery store to guide your way?

Yes. As much as I love him, you know who is fake? RYAN GOSLING. He's even admitted that his voice started as him mimicking some cool old actors and he liked it so it just kind of stuck. Fakey fake! But no one ever calls him out on it.

I'm at a very (embarassingly) high level of candy crush. You know what made me finally quit. THE FUCKING TORNADOES. I got through a few levels, but I'm on this terrible level of evil tornadoes and I need to make these stripey combos and there's these four huge mega-blocks that clear any sort of attempts of…

I just fundamentally disagree that this "big issue" that you're concerned with (understanding that spaces indicate new words) is so difficult to grasp and cursive is the best way to teach it - - - especially since cursive usually isn't taught until kids are well into chapter books (third grade or so). Are we really…

No, the target of this debate isn't "non-readers." "Non-readers" don't get taught cursive. it's and its look identically dissimiliar in print and cursive. You're saying a lot of things that might be true, but they don't help support your conclusion at all.

I think I'm missing something. These things are true: Saatchi is a scumbag who deserves bad things and bad press. However, since this is all coming out of a fraud case, and Saatchi testified that he's never seen/believed that she's done drugs, I'm not sure how this is his fault (except for the fact that the result,…

Because teaching kids two entirely distinct handwriting styles takes a lot of time. Teaching printing to little kids and then some tips about how to help run some letters together is a lot quicker.

Then kids should learn how to print/script (where you kind of write half-cursive/half-print). It's a lot faster than printing, but a lot easier than remembering how to tell the difference between a capital T and a capital F.
