At my office we all just have slippers under our desks. Of course, it is very cold in here, so barefoot would be freezing.

Articles I’ve read about these schemes do make them sound like Scientology. I wonder if that is because Scientology itself is a pyramid scheme (it absolutely is), or because pyramid schemes are a type of cult.

Thankfully, I never purchased from them in the first place, and I don’t have any trouble declining an invitation. I am just unsure whether perhaps I should have warned them for their sake.

I hate it when it is simultaneously “open concept,” but there is also somehow a distinct parlor and living room. Like, if I can see the ugly comfy couch and the children’s toys, and hear the tv from the “formal” parlor, what is the point? It manages to be the worst of both words, and Riverside, CA is full of it.

Living, as I do, in a one-bedroom apartment, I long someday for more walls and doors. Partially for privacy, and partially because it is nice to put art and furniture up against walls. Yes, you can let your furniture “float” in a large space, but you need more square footage to float your furniture without it looking…

Okay, so what do we think of the intersection of friendship and pyramid schemes? I didn’t want to be a condescending jerk, so I kept my thoughts on Lularoe to myself, even as I could see it was an obvious pyramid scheme with hideous inventory. I’m now thinking the right thing to do might have been to tell people,…

Oh geez, is that what’s on the bowtie?

We all have embarrassing exes. It’s not a reflection on you.

Me too! I’m pregnant and wearing maternity stuff, and I look forward to burning/shredding into cleaning cloths all of my maternity wear (some drawstring, some more leggings-ish). Thankfully, there isn’t much- 2 belly bands has allowed me to keep wearing most of my pants unzipped. When I get home from work, I slip…

Report him to the IRS.

I told my friends it was a pyramid scheme as soon as it became apparent that the business model is entirely “Sell garbage to people you already know.” It was obvious that at some point, any person’s circle of friends would become saturated with ugly give-up pants. (Sooner, rather than later, as constantly posting…

I’ve been calling their leggings “give-up pants,” myself.

I think I got accidentally blocked from the entire blog, actually, because my comments don’t show up at all. (Not grey, just not there.) I think my options may be to just email the blog (and somewhat give up my anonymity), or start a new account. :/

I love her!

Absolutely. We slice it into pucks and arrange them on a pretty dish.

How strongly attached to turkey are you?

Same. He definitely believes (in word and deed) in the legal and economic equality of men and women, and there are plenty of feminist-identifying women who have argued whether men can be feminists or can only be allies, so I really can’t fault him for being unsure of the nomenclature.

I corroborate thatoneburnerguy’s account of it, but I think there is still a chance for them, because how long can Winslet really stay married to a man who voluntarily and legally changed his name to Ned Rocknroll?

My father told me he hopes my baby grows up in a world without sexism, and I thought, “Didn’t you fucking choke my mother?”

Yeah, my husband responded with “I don’t know. Can men be feminists?” which is, I think, the best answer he could have given.
