Yep. I buy knee highs to wear like trouser socks. They don't come close to my knees but they hit about where a trouser sock should.

Does that mean chunky heels are back too??? Please say yes!

I actually don't mind some of their patterns but somehow the pattern plus the quilting is just too much. I saw some notebooks with their patterns on them that were not quilted and they were quite attractive.

The girls at my daughter's school love them. Makes me laugh because they look like such a grandma style to me.

The makeup sponges are new to me. Do you put them up inside for a short-term barrier during intercourse? Are they hard to get out?

Boo!

Actually, I did too but it was only because I saw something just right and the recipient is really hard to shop for. Plus, it's easier on the budget if you can spread out your buying.

Thank you! It's still too early to put up Halloween decorations how can Christmas stuff be okay?

How old is she? I'm assuming well past the age where "I'm going to tell my daddy on you" is supposed to be a threat.

Finally had a minute to Google... From Nov 2012: "The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the country's largest group of OB/GYNs, said today that oral contraceptives are safe enough to be sold over the counter in drugstores without a doctor's prescription."

Dunno, I see that look on girls at my daughter's high school all the time. Maybe it's a regional thing? She goes to a public high school in a large suburban area so it's not a religious modesty thing.

The girls get the bulk of the dress code violations because current boys' styles are long shorts and long shirts. Girls' styles right now are short shorts and cropped shirts. (Source: shopping for my 14-year-old daughter and seeing what her friends wear.) It just happens that what is in fashion for the boys probably…

I thought Planned Parenthood and other family planning groups have been advocating for this for years. I get the concern about pricing. That is a valid worry. But I could swear I've read articles on Jezebel and other sites about how birth control pills should be available over the counter and there's no reason to have…

Nothing wrong with dipping potato chips in ketchup. They're basically flat French fries. In fact, I was just thinking about an afternoon snack... I may go have potato chips and ketchup right now.

Yes, it's a Southern thing. I've also seen " chicken fried chicken" which sounds both silly and redundant but is a chicken party that's breaded and fried in the same way.

I think this woman has a bad case of wanting to be the "cool mom". I would like to see them charge her with contributing to the delinquency of minors.

I hear what you're saying but, I think they're not attacking the Budweiser bro ads because this is an easier target. It's a great visual that can be easily made with a single photo. It takes something that was supposed to be beautiful and with one alteration turns it into something shocking and ugly. I'm not sure how…

If you are being attacked you should diffuse the situation. It may take force to do that but if it does you use an amount of force that is appropriate for the attack. This applies no matter the size, strength, or gender of the people involved.

Those competitive gymnastics teams are no joke. Even the ones that aren't Olympic or Jr. Olympic training level are still seriously intense. I'm not surprised that this kid could beat a JROTC Cadet, I'd bet most of the girls from her gym could too.

Maybe a generational thing. I'm 40 and will say hooking up to mean just getting together socially ("We should hook up with the Smiths for dinner this weekend, we haven't seen them in a while.") or to mean some sort of romantic encounter ranging from heavy kissing/petting with or without nudity to full blown…
