I’ve been to a couple where moms (and aunts) were included, including my own. But when that’s happened, they’ve stayed behind when the girls go to the bar or start getting wasted. They’ve come to dinner, or spent the day at the beach, and then let their girls have their bit of fun.

But yeah, my mom coming to the club…

For what it’s worth, my mom came to part of mine, and we’ve never had the relationship where she’s been the cool mom and she hangs out with us. But my bachelorette party was a weekend away and she came up for part of it to take us to dinner and spent the night with some of my aunts after we had spent the day getting…

My mom came to part of mine. So did some of my aunts. We rented a house for a weekend and went tubing. The second night they came up and took us to dinner and we hung out with them.

For my cousin, we went away for the weekend her mom and some of the aunts came, but they had a separate hotel room and didn’t go out to…

For what it’s worth, my company recently did something similar. The parent company bough a bunch of other companies around the world, and rather having those be subsidies of the parent brand, they spun off a parent company to house them all as equals. Half of my coworkers (in the North America office) now work for the…

My company is nowhere near the size of Google, but they did something recently. Rather than one brand owning a ton of other brands, they spun out a parent company that owned them all, giving each brand more autonomy. Nothing changes for the consumer, but it is confusing in the office when half of your employees now…

The APA no longer calls it Gender Identity Disorder, btw.

I’m fb friends with the president, vp, treasurer, etc, so I’m surprised I haven’t gotten an invite.

I wear XXS at JCrew - I don’t even think I’m *that* small, but JCrew is the worst about vanity sizing (I can’t buy any of their pants/skirts/shorts). But man, XXXS. I don’t know who that could possibly be for. They must not be able to buy any clothes at any store that’s not kids (I have a hard enough time as it is).

I graduated in 2005, so I feel like we should have one coming up but I’ve heard absolutely nothing about it. We did have a 5 year one that my roommate and I chose not to attend.

So will Republicans think she is brave? She is a former marine after all. I bet it confuses them.

My kitchen trash is nasty. There’s leftover meats in there, sometimes scraps of raw meat. It gets really, really stinky sometimes, and I wouldn’t dare rifle through it without gloves. I mean, yeah, it’s not cool to do without asking, but I don’t really think it’s that big of a deal. My used tampons do go in the…

> Or if it was a parent alone, you can alert airline staff, security, or even the person behind you to watch your bags while you’re away for a few minutes.

I don’t have kids, but I don’t think that would gross me out that much. I mean, I throw my leftovers in the trash and that can get really stinky too. I’ll just take it out.

Even if you don’t technically combine your finances, they’re still more or less combined in the eyes of the law. If your spouse has a mountain of student loan debt, then they might not have the funds to contribute to a down payment on a house or to go on that vacation you’ve been dreaming about. So you end up having…

I signed up for this website where they send you clothes, kind of like a personal stylist. I got a dress and the note with it was like “you can wear this to work!” Yeah. No. I’m freezing at work already. I can’t do bare legs.

I think she meant 102 outside. Not 102 inside.

My office has been freezing so I recently got a thermometer for my desk. When the thermometer says it’s 68, I’m absolutely freezing. I have a fleece jacket on and I’m wrapping my legs in a blanket. But I think it might feel especially cold because of the blowing air. I keep my heat at 68 in the winter and it feels a…

I don’t really have a problem wearing a cardigan at work. I don’t expect indoor temperatures to be warm enough in the summer to allow me to wear sleeveless shirts. But when I have to wear a fleece jacket over my cardigan, and I’m wrapping a blanket around my legs, and my poor hands are freezing and stiff. It’s too…

That’s the temperature I keep the central air in my house at. Right now the thermometer at my desk says 75 and I think it’s quite comfortable.

We’re about a week shy of our first anniversary and I feel the same way. We were together about 7 years before our wedding day, we had lived together for 3 years, we owned a house together. Before we got married, I couldn’t imagine how it could possibly be different. But it is. Maybe part of it is that it’s harder to…
