Per Gayle King - Oprah had a deep cream custom dress, and realized at the last minute that on camera, it would like blazing white. So she scrambled for a last minute dress and hat. I still think she looks stunning.
here’s a really great gif of her walking in:
I just picked my meds today - now it’s $72!!!! Ugh.
It’s the starter home issue. The dwindling middle class is now mostly the lower class, and unlike generations before, a starter home is now what MOST people can afford. So there is way more competition - because way more people can ONLY afford starter homes. For them - the starter home is THE home, and the only home,…
I already starred your comment but I want to star it more so I’m quoting it and clapping hard for it (maybe even literally): “(thanks a lot, real estate and stockmarket fuckfaces who speculatively bubbled *basic shelter* out of reach of the vast majority of the population)“
Amen to all of this. And the thing that pisses me off is how much a college education is pushed on EVERYONE, without at all addressing how the fuck anyone is supposed to pay for it. Then, if you choose to do something else, like work full time, and NOT go into debt for an education, somehow you’re an underachieving…
And they’re als0 unaware of how many of those great jobs in the 50's and 60's were unionized. (You know, the evil unions, the organizations that “ruin things” for their corporate daddies.) I’m not going to take the time to find an infographic right now, but there are plenty out there (from legit sources like Time/New…
Just popping in for a minute to commiserate/vent about the sudden increase in prices for cheap drugs. I’m pissed on your behalf about the albuterol. I take a thyroid medication that cost $14 per month without insurance, and it’s been on the market for probably 50 or 60 years, and now that it’s been purchased by a new,…
So many tips I don’t know where to start - but first, I second everyone who commented above me. Next, I’d talk directly to a doctor, because in my case, I found out that a person can take multiple allergy medications simultaneously with no ill effects. Example: if I wanted to - I could take two claritin per day…
Well, I totally support your usual, fuck-right-off self and whatever you might have said if you were not trying to heed your mother’s request. On a day that isn’t mother’s day, I might ask your mom why standing up for yourself with people who are rude is such an embarrassing thing for her? Is she uncomfortable…
Yes to all of this. And add to that the fact that the reason people keep wanting Michelle Obama as President is because like, we’re always going to dream big. I mean, I still fantasize about winning the lottery. Like, Michelle is who we should aim for - and it’s great to set our sights high. She’ll never do it, but I…
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!! This is horribly disappointing. Considering her hard knocks upbringing, it’s amazing to me that poor people (or people who grew up poor, in Shania’s case), are willing to go to bat for this turd of a President. Blahhhhhhhhhhhh. HE DOES NOT CARE ABOUT YOU, poor people/formerly…
Amen to this. If you scroll up through the comments, nearly all of the negative comments are based on people’s assumptions about the movie, rather than their thoughts after viewing the movie. Like, people did not see the movie and are crapping all over it. Many comments here such as, “what bothers me about the movie…
Something my doctor told me that’s really useful/helpful: One of the things that’s different with hormone treatment when you’re in perimenopause versus birth control when you’re NOT in perimenopause is that when you’re taking birth control during your menstruating years, your body is already making enough estrogen and…
Aww, so sweet! It’s actually the title of an old movie that was on TV the day I set up this account! So, voila!
Let me start from the bottom of your message: of course you have the right to be annoyed. And of course you have the right to tell her to back off. She’s being terribly invasive, and I would stop giving her details to any questions she asks about your health. You can use any language that you want, but I’d suggest…
I was not part of that conversation but I do know there are online therapy options. Especially good for major introverts who have a hard time leaving the house and seeing someone and getting vulnerable fast.
First off, a star for braving the world of dating! It’s simultaneously rough and exhilirating. And no matter what happens on this date, it will be good for you (it will either be thrilling in a romantic way, or it will not work out and solidify for you what you’re really looking for, or it will be just okay and it…
If you don’t already, I’d follow and read smittenkitchen (famous blogger turned bestselling cookbook author with an insanely small kitchen.) She’s written about how she manages a miniscule kitchen. She has good tips! Check her out! I think she even has several blog posts dedicated to this topic.
