I really like that dress/shirt thing she has on as well.

I love everything about this post.

Sunscreen is your best friend. Also, of course, you have to get those moles and other weird spots checked a few times a year. Especially around your head. Better overreacting than otherwise, in this case.

Well. I now know that a 'burn cream' can refer to a chemical peel. At least, I think that's what she meant. Unless Gwyneth is way kinkier than I would have guessed.

Number #2. No doubts at all.

I had that same feeling, like something really is off there that the LW can't quite verbalize. The advice is solid. Just have some get-togethers without Dianna and with the new friends. Simply think of Dianna as one of many friends. Then, spend a little time being with other people. Then, if it's innocent, nothing…

Stewart just looked tired to me. All that running back and forth across the Atlantic by jet can be kind of sleepy making.

Okay, let's see if this works. I gave them official names instead of lazily leaving the URLs. Maybe that's the problem?

They work for me. Could it be some weird thing with kinja? Or, more likely, a weird thing with me and kinja? I thought I linked it correctly, and I can see it. I'll check again.

You can't be serious with this claim. There is no magic wand that affects the way teachers treat students, based on sex, between high school and college. Now, come on. That's not good critical thinking!

Actually, that I must disagree with you on. Girls are treated differently from the way boys are treated in terms of mathematical subjects. Statistics do not bear you out on this. Here are some interesting statistics to consider: people.mills.edu/spertus/Gender/pap/node7.com

Oh lord. What is WITH the neon tank tops?!? I thought it was just maybe something was wrong with my eyesight.

That story is fantastic. And I hope your dad is eating just a tiny bit of crow. ;)

I'm a tiny bit confused about why you believe being in the humanities means you don't like/believe in science.

It was pretty clear it was a regular part of his "first day" speech to his students. And nobody said a word against it. Nobody. When my parents found out about it later, they were furious. At the time, I just didn't question it because he was a teacher and an adult.

I will say that, when we got to algebra, I was frustrated because no one would tell me the "whys" of the whole thing. Just memorizing and moving on, without any explanation of what it all meant, was incredibly frustrating. If I got a good explanation as to why, I made a 100 on the test. If I didn't, I failed it.…

When I was in elementary school, I loved math. My grades were terrific. I had a fantastic sixth grade teacher, and she encouraged a deep love of mathematics among all the students.

I look forward to my body being chewed on by my cats. It is my soulless spinsterhood destiny.

As long as there are no sour patch kids, it'll be okay. And of course, there have to be envelopes of cash! Because that's what a wedding is about, envelopes of cash.

The key point is that part about expecting your guests to pay for your wedding.
