That's true, isn't it? There's Pacific Place and Westlake right next to each other, plus U Village and Northgate both within city limits. There was one in West Seattle that was dying when my friends lived in the neighborhood... I don't know what happened to it.

Yes, and of course every parent knows college-age daughters always do exactly what their parents tell them to. You are not listening to what the other people on this thread are trying to tell you: your "advice" about drinking in moderation is the conversation we are already having, and it's not a useful conversation.…

Work out. Get a spiffy haircut. Learn how to dress and groom to make yourself as attractive as possible. Have interesting hobbies and pursuits. Learn how to play an instrument. Don't obsess over trying to date people who you think are better looking than you. If all else fails, get rich and/or famous.

Get out now. His selfishness will eventually kill the relationship, so better end it sooner than later.

That's too bad! I know treating FASD specifically is a growing area in the US and Australia, but had no idea about Brazil.

My parents spanked all three of us very rarely, usually when they were overwhelmed and (obviously) felt like they had run out of other options. None of us reacted well. My little brother went from "misbehaving" to "running and screaming into the middle of the desert faster than his parents could follow" and I got sent…

You might benefit from FASD-specific interventions. It shares a lot of symptoms with things like ADHD and borderline personality disorder, but it's not really caused by the same things and different strategies often bring better results.

I kinda hated this movie, actually. I was exactly the 20-something Gen-Xer it was supposed to be about, and I never felt so stupidly pandered to in my entire life. I thought the movie was basically Slacker for Dummies. I didn't identify with any of those people. I thought they were all jerks and morons who thought…

The "gaunt" is necessary because her gaunt appearance is why people are freaking out. If she weighed 105 and didn't happen to look gaunt, nobody would have said anything. Which I think is the point of this article, actually.

Greycat wasn't calling your FEELINGS bullsh*t, just the existence of "Seattle Freeze" as a real, objective thing. It's the city equivalent of the "friend zone."

That is a pretty succinct description of the good/bad of California, I think, although you left out one of the major drawbacks of moving inland: as you go inland, the weather gets hotter and drier, the landscape gets drearier, and the air quality gets worse.

My guess? Partly genuine — partly women going along with the social expectation without having seriously thought about how they personally feel — and partly women who are consciously just playing along because it's easier. What I don't know is the percentages.

I get it! He's not conventionally attractive, but he's got a LOT of on-screen charisma.

Alyson looks cutest overall, but I seriously covet this dress. Maybe with different sleeves.

That's what I get too — every scent smells mostly like "perfume" and perfume is a harsh chemical odor. Any other odors are wayyyy down in the mix. I wish I knew why — what aspect am I reacting to? I don't think it's just the alcohol content, because actual alcohol usually smells fine to me.

That was my first thought, but then I decided to go the charitable route — "well-mannered" perfumes too liberally applied are far worse than really out-there scents applied with appropriate subtlety, so I'll assume the writer is advocating for the latter. Whenever I read true scent fans talking about perfumes, they…

Haha that's probably true. I'm never going to be grown up enough where I can watch a show like Mad Men and not think yeah, the outfits are cool and everything, but when is something INTERESTING going to happen?

Well... I don't love this song or anything, but it's okay pop if I don't look at the ridiculousness of her overall presentation, so... maybe it's about the music.

Of course it didn't really work. Even with the fake teeth his hotness was obvious. I thought the movie actually played that up a bit — by giving him a really decisive-feeling hero moment when he kills the snake and having him declare his love for Luna.

Yes, exactly.
