I have a Muslim friend here at work who, when she got married, started wearing the hijab as a sign of respect toward her husband (I asked). At first I was kind of sad to see her put it on cause she seriously had the most amazing hair (yeah, I’m deep like that), but now I’m jealous cause she rocks the most amazing…

Yeah, I’m with you. I never got why people liked her in that. She was so bland and had one voice register.

Michigan. We grow more varieties of fruits/veggies than any state except Florida and California. Farmers markets, the Great Lakes, pick-your-own apple/peach/cherry orchards.

So it sounds like durian is the new kale?

LOL, the reason I was glad I had tall walls on my cube is cause it made me literally do a little guffaw out loud.

Have you tried Tuna Macaroni and Cheese? It’s just what it sounds like: a can of tuna, drained, thrown in a pot of Kraft mac-n-cheese. I get cravings for it sometimes. My parents divorced and this was a standard mom served us.

OMG, that picture. It caught me by surprise and I’ve never been so glad I have my own cube with tall walls.

Can I let you in on a secret? Your 40s are EVEN BETTER!!!

You go, girl. You’re a rockstar.

Okay, now she’s just screwin’ with us. Seriously, who would wear this?

Lands End for cardigans. Those things wear like iron and they have a great color selection each season. Not to mention no-questions-asked returns forever.

I love how Talbots dresses hit at the knee, rather than mid-thigh. it’s just a more classic look, but still very feminine.

I can always count on Talbots pants to fit. No gap at the back, just the right length.

Their quality has always been good, but they’ve had (in the past) the stigma like Mom Jeans. Now, however, they’ve stepped up their game in a lot of their stuff. Check out their curated group by a Vogue stylist.

Does anyone remember the store Paul Harris (late 80s, early 90s)? I knew they were doomed when I walked in and saw that all their clothes that fall were brown and orange. And not attractive shades either.

I wish I could give you all the stars on the internet today for this comment. This book TOTALLY changed how I look at my clothes purchases. So worth the read. Highly recommended.

That’s exactly what I was thinking. For China, the make-work has been construction and infrastructure development. For Russia, it looks like it’ll be a space program.

Hang on a tick.

I need to pull that recipe out and see if I still have time to make it for Xmas.

I gave up being like “just google Alton Brown mac & cheese” like 3 years ago
