I have a crystal cat nightlight! It was a gift and probably not from Walmart but it looks like this one https://www.walmart.com/ip/Matashi-Crystal-24K-Gold-Plated-Kitty-Cat-Night-Light/168689073?wmlspartner=wmtlabs&adid=22222222222052032737&wmlspartner=wmtlabs&wl0=e&wl1=o&wl2=c&wl3=10356684271&wl4=pla-1105783066014&wl1…

I the Summer Days video. I don’t even care if they’re pandering to older women.

I was recently Italy and could not understand why people were drinking them everywhere. We had all kinds of delicious and reasonably priced wine and I felt like I’d be polluting my prosecco if I had it with Aperol.

The drummers sounded great and looked like they were having a blast, so props to them!

The camp of Queen Bees and Wannabes also comes from the fact that, in a small way, it arguably did the opposite of what it intended, as the book, along with others like it, fueled a larger pop culture obsession with bitchy mean girls.

If they won’t pay you overtime, it would be worth finding out if they are obligated to cash-out your unused vacation time that is supposed to be your compensation for those hours. You earned it.

I had to have that ultrasound and the procedure itself was ok. The bad part was that it was scheduled for morning and even though I drank more water than they told me too, the technician sternly scolded me for barely having a full enough bladder to do the procedure and interrogated me about how much I drank. The…

Your story was very moving - thank you for sharing it! I’m so sorry you and your mother had such painful experiences and am glad to read that you’ve all been able to move forward. 

We weren’t allowed to have Ken in our house! Didn’t squash the negative gender stereotypes or unhealthy attitudes about sexuality I grew up with, but hey, it prevented mom from the discomfort of overhearing Barbie and Ken get it on.

You may be surprised by how happy you will be in the future, with a different life than you may have expected. I was in a long-term relationship from my late 30's to early 40's with someone who couldn’t commit or acknowledge he didn’t want what I wanted. It was hard to end the relationship because we loved each other…

The summer after my freshman year of college I did temp work at a large organization. I had a big crush on a young staff member, probably in his late 20's, who was one of the few people who took time to chat and get to know me. When I returned to school I sent him a perfumed letter at his workplace, inviting him to…

I feel you. :( I’m always afraid they will attack me if I respond with anger and then I feel doubly bad afterwards that they get away with it.

In Italy, France and Spain from the mid-90's to present, most men treated me respectfully but there were a dozen times when they masturbated or harassed me when I was alone or with women. My last trip to Italy was with my boyfriend and I wasn’t even flirted with. It was GREAT.

Hot Toddy continuously stocks prints like this in vintage cuts and is pretty affordable.

For #2, I have witnessed so many twosomes at work flirt with each other and they never seemed aware that everyone else was noticing and commenting on it. Everyone can see puppy love eyes across a conference room table!

If it were me, I’d have conversations about how you’re going to stay connected as a couple while apart rather than bring up marriage this soon. How much do each of you want to Facetime/message and how often do you want to try to visit? Learning how he feels about those topics will give you a clue to where he’s at in…

Even before I had a PTSD-inducing situation, my parents gave me one of those “how to survive anything/worst case scenario” books and I’ve never been able to get the terrible imagery out of my mind. I’m already hyper-vigilant so I’m torn on whether reading the The Gift of Fear would calm the tendency or exacerbate it.

I love capes! I also drape my jackets because I constantly cycle between cold, comfortable, and hot. It’s easier to push a jacket on and off my shoulders than putting my arms in and out of sleeves every 10 minutes.

I feel sick on your behalf. If you think it will help and not escalate the harassment, please consider going to civil court and try getting an anti-harassment order. I had to do this and I brought reams of evidence: recordings I made (that were legal in my state), a printout of a document where I logged every…

I’m sorry you experienced that. It sounds like they assaulted you and tried to gaslight you into thinking it benefited you. That is sick and victimizing you twice.
