Thank you. Based on my experience in Southern California, most drivers here seem to believe it costs $1000/use and must therefore be saved for a special occasion.

My guess was that it referred to both “people thinking that girls in short-shorts are projecting sexuality,” along with “stores offering little girls shorter shorts than boys the same age for no apparent reason.”

I find that that makes the bread crumby and brittle.

If I am feeling ambitious, I pack pb&j, with 3 pieces of fruit, a mozzarella stick, a half cup of plain yogurt, and if I am a goddamn lunch genius that day, some cut up cucumbers or bell peppers or sugar snap peas.

“I’m not religious but my in-laws are, and I never remember if it’s up-down-left-right or up-down-right-left when you cross yourself, but then Mike Myers did the spectacles-testicles-wallet-watch thing in Austin Powers so now I always remember.”

I’m an adult woman who rarely wears shorts in public, because it is extremely difficult to find any that are not short shorts. There’s not much choice of lengths available. I imagine parents face a similar problem. It’s hot outside, your kid wants to wear shorts, and this is what’s available at the store.

“Also many years ago, really surprised to learn that some girls wipe from the FRONT.”

“Some people just sit their bare tushies right down on the rubella-covered seat, because evidently they have no fear of germs as sensible people should.”

I read the letter- where are you getting the “Uses his spouse as a shield” part?

“He said he admired and respected females, he didn’t lust after them.”

But that is apparently what he said to the wife, not in some public statement- shifting blame off of oneself for a marital transgression is douche-y and unfair to the cheated on spouse, but I don’t really think it is particularly gendered.

Yeah, there are implications to cheating that show how patriarchal our society is, such as the disparate treatment of women who cheat versus men who cheat. (I cannot even imagine the shitstorm that would ensue if it came out that Beyoncé cheats on Jay-Z, instead of the other way around.) But the impulse to cheat,…

I wish my mother understood the stakes without being told. It really wasn’t until I got to college that I realized it is considered gross to use someone’s toothbrush. At 13 years remove, that sounds crazy to me, but I was really that old.

I’ve never heard anyone refer to Dalí as “sadistic” before. Is that something he is known for? I know he couldn’t visit Gala unless she gave him written permission, so if anything, I would have pictured him more as a masochist.

I thought oenophiles were wine connoisseurs? I really hope I haven’t been using that wrong. :/

I actually find that my skin underneath looks better when I wear a full face every day, but I think it is mainly because that is the only way I can ever convince myself to wash my face before bed. If I only wore lipstick that day? My bedtime brain goes, “Fuck it, I’ll wash my face in the morning.”

Sunblock works, and I know my face cream has that. I also know that, with my dry skin, I feel physically uncomfortable, get flakes, and and break out very easily when I don’t moisturize.

I have no idea why, but my husband’s towels start getting smelly halfway through the week, and mine do not. His skin is oilier than mine, so that may have something to do with it- maybe he is already sweating while he is drying, and then the perspiration on the towel gets germy? I can say, I think he smells…

I may have lifted it from Dorothy Zbornak, but I can’t actually remember. I’ve watched so much of the Golden Girls that they are a part of me.

I’m sure you are not the only one, but I found the entire thing shockingly good.
