Tracey: [Politely] Your makeup is great! It looks great! Really. My daughter does hers like that.

Did I read 'leatherette'?!? SOLD!

Thanks for this piece. You look fantastic! I'm glad it made the main page b/c I think it will inspire readers of all physical types to dress and to accept their bodies as they are and not what they were or what they may be someday.

Hey lady. Don't talk shit about Vienna sausages. Vienna sausages are The Shit. I grew up in a middle income, modest home. When I was younger, the trappings of wealth didn't make me uncomfortable. But as I've grown older and find myself down the economic ladder, the cavalier attitude about spending money as outlined in…

There are many of us Chicagoans here. We are legion. Did the PLVs make it through last winter?

I've been wearing North Face Greenland Zip boots for about 10 years? They are not cute but keep my feet warm, sweaty even. But here in Chicago (hey guys) that's ok. I need a new coat and I'm afraid it's time for a monstrosity of my own.

They did this last year at my former company. I couldn't believe it. I was waiting for the backlash that never came. I'm white so I was basically told to SJW my way out of it. By the white leadership. I'm the member of a religious minority group so I'm a little sensitive to glaring displays of stereotyping.

Ooh the looks from other moms! I get those. F them and their concern trolling. Oy.

It's true. But we had so much freedom to do...whatever. It fostered such independence and confidence. I had MiniBudget way late in life so my instincts are a combo of 70's and exhaustion so I have to think twice sometimes because DCFS. Only half joking.

They sure we're! I put gas in the lawnmower at 10. 10! Wtf was wrong with my parents?!

Baking soda! Will try! That and white vinegar are handy around the house, fer sher.

IDK!!! Those oatmeal soaps my mother uses do the same thing. The bits of oats make it so much worse. Every time I'm over I scrub her shower b/c I can't stand it. She's either resigned to it or maybe doesn't see it as well. But it's probably that she just DGAF anymore. She will not give up those oats.

Also, carboxylate soap leaves more soap scum behind because it is more likely to bond with the magnesium and calcium in your water than get rinsed away by it.

"Even when nothing makes sense, I still wake up, I take a shower, I put on clothes, I put on makeup. Life goes brutally on. The world doesn't give a shit if you need a minute."

You know. That's nice. These pics warmed my cold miserable cynic's heart.

What is it with hanging from a fence by our pants?!? This happened to my niece over the summer and to two of my friends when we were kids!

I love jumpsuits too. But I'm scarred for life after taking one off to pee and somehow getting one of the sleeves in the toilet. Alcohol may or may not have been involed. I don't remember.

Those lipsticks are most certainly not almost the exact same color. They are all so different and it takes another addict to know it. But I have a new life goal and that is to glow!

I would LOVE to visit Angkor Wat among 1000 other places in the world. And yet these are the dum-dums who get to go. Fucking Philistines.

Right! But I love reading the stories of our more well travelled commenters. I mean, my route is Chicago and Philadelphia. #domesticcoach4lyfe.
