Her company (which she owns 100%) has a licensing deal with the cosmetics company.  Her company manages and markets her likeness, image, name, and what not.  

I’ll be 50 next year.  Yes, there are the physical aspects of aging- you don’t bounce back like you used to, I’ve learned how to nap in the last few months, and my skin is drier now (a welcome change).  What you miss is the wealth of knowledge you now possess, which allows you to separate the wheat from the chaff a…

Funny how you can’t fathom that these people might have been skaters back in the 80s, having learned as tots in the 70s, and are the real thing.  Now they can afford the electric board, which makes for effortless commuting in the city, and you can’t.  That’s what this is really about, right?  Your childish foot…

“Cleveland told Jezebel, “The primary idol of the evangelical church is this white, male, cisgendered, straight Christ. And everything revolves around the worship of this Christ.”

Even with what they did choose to include, Christians worldwide ignore that Christ never was about “worship ME, hold up only ME, it’s all about ME”. Christ taught people to follow God, not himself. Christians cannot call themselves monotheistic, when they worship God, Christ, and this concept of the “Holy Ghost”. …

You’re absolutely correct, you are being a petty asshole, as you said. It sounds like she relies upon you for tech support- not uncommon in most families today. If you don’t want to do it anymore, just say so, but don’t go around dragging her through the mud because she’s old and doesn’t understand how everything…

Get a really good guided tour for the Vatican, with knowledgable guides. We used The Roman Guy for our tours of the Vatican, and for the Uffizi in Florence. Worth every dime, learned so much more than we would have.

If you give your folks money, don’t expect them to pay it back because it won’t likely happen. And they’ll promptly forget you loaned/gave them any money at all within a year. If you can’t deal with both of those things, then be prepared to tell them NO and deal with the fall out.

We use a medium size sledgehammer (head wrapped in foil- don’t need auto body finishes on my food) for smashing our turkey to spatchcocked flatness at Thanksgiving. Dental floss for cutting cake layers into more cake layers.

also good when cutting up onions to keep the onion gas out of your eyes.

Experienced this is Dubai, no card in the slot, no AC in the room. Even in “winter”, it is ridiculously hot there.

I was 21 in 1990, and was not a drug user. Had no contact with it, lived a typical white girl suburban life. I had my first baby in 1992. That baby grew up to be a heroin addict. Addicts deserved help in the 80s and 90s, and they deserve help now. I’m not going to give up on my daughter because nobody fixed the…

If SCOTUS guts public employee unions in the Janus v. AFSCME case, you can expect to see much more of this on a nationwide scale. State governments across the country will grind to a halt. It will cause utter chaos, all because the Rich and Powerful believe the short term gain politically will have no consequences…

Back in the olden days, we had a set of World Book encyclopedias at home. When I asked questions, my folks told me to “go look it up”. I used to fall asleep reading those dang encyclopedias. Taught me to be a good researcher, too. Question those sources, folks.

Yes I did.

Yes I did.

I did read the article, and the article is not the point of the post. The post is supposed to be selling a product designed for women who care about their skin. The post is not a critique take-down of the article you link to. There should be a post that should be written outside of a product advert about this…

Men have forever used the “it was sarcastic” or “it was just a joke” on women when we call them out on their BS. Instead of making that excuse, the least you could do is admit that this was a crap post that is crappy to women. Remember, you won’t be young forever, and 15 years from now you’ll wish you were kinder to…

I’ve never understood the “family bed” thing. My kids never slept in our bed, under any circumstances. Once you let them in, you’ll never get them out.

The higher powered motors in the bowl-lift KAs make all the difference for those of us doing heavy breads, or double batches of cookie dough, or large quantities of cake frosting. I burned out my hand mixer when I was baking carrot cakes for sale to local bakeries and shops in my youth. Then my BF (now husband for…

It’s harder to get ANY job if you’re fat. Even if you’re well qualified. The discrimination against heavy job candidates comes from both men and women.
