Ah, the Southern Fuck You, in all its class. I love it so.

I think a little from Column A and a little from Column B and a little of the two mixing creating a great big pile of EIAHIEGETGAEGAE NO STOP

You cannot legitimately expect logic from people who still wish to live in antebellum times with all the oppression and hate that entails.

So I'm considering cutting my hair (it's upper-to-mid-back-length now, considering everything from a shoulder-length shag to... um... almost all off) and I'm kind of terrified because the last time I did (granted, it was six years ago and my face has changed quite a bit), I looked like a chubby boy. I've got…

That's absolutely fabulous! How awesome that even your MIL ended up digging it (: The flowers and fabric and the napkins all together look so nice in contrast (and what are those little things in the cups? Candies or beads or something? They're cute!)

It is absolutely already small-claims-court serious. Zhe must have a Facebook or a phone or something that someone can give access to. Give zhe notice that in x amount of time (I'd say a week) if zhe doesn't contact your SO and make plans for payment, you're going to court.

So glad you're in a good place! (: Good luck with school! (I have your same issue with "math words," except it started my senior year - didn't take any maths.)

+1 to the pantsuit idea everyone is putting forth, of course. Good flats. Pulling your hair back in something more than the traditional ponytail would be nice as well.

If you are prepared to let a friendship die, let it die. It's 3/4 of the way there anyway if you're willing to let it go.

I'm so sorry you're dealing with this. It sucks and avoiding everyone, if you need to, is a valid option for a time, though not the most practical. I have that problem, and there are 3 ways I handle it:

Eugh. I'm so sorry you're dealing with this toxic person in your life. Furthermore, it's terrible that she's paired up with an enabling busybody that actually took it upon himself to speak to your friends about this.

Why could you not have written that post immediately after the Red Wedding episode of Game of Thrones? Your last sentence is just so true.

I am so happy we are finally having this conversation, though that hapiness is undercut and almost completely eliminated by that tasteless heading. Now is not the time for schlock.

Lots and lots and lots and lots of asskicking. I don't want any dude swooping in and saving our heroine at the last second. I don't want any needless sexism or sexual harassment as "character building" bullshit - and seriously, let's avoid the "women threatened with rape" trope because what in the hell, that's gross…

That's it. I'm throwing in the towel on this fucking manuscript and publishing the smut I've got stacked up on the far reaches of my hard drive.

You forget - this would require basic science, and if there's one thing we can't trust it's anything that Moses didn't bring down from the mountain, and that means science.

Europe's right-wing and our right-wings are different animals, though - our left-wing could be considered pretty conservative by some standards in Europe. With how our right-wing is run and all the comments having been thrown around about women/rape/etc, they'd be shooting themselves in the feet to put up a serious…

Let me check.

Totally agree with that. I feel like, no matter who you are, that job is going to take chunks of your soul with it, you know what I mean? And I can't wait for the ol' Wanderin' Womb argument to get dragged out again! "She can't be President, she's batshit crazy a fourth of the month!"

Ah, you should've. Would've been interesting to see the hippy-dippy explanation for a serious lack of serotonin in the brain
