According to the internets, Jamie is a former Bachelor and Bachelor Pad contestant, so methinks: money/fame = motivator.

Off-topic, but how is whisper not just a less high brow version of Post Secret? I keep seeing stories about how "innovative" it is, and I just keep thinking, hasn't Post Secret been doing this for years?

"Look how adorable he is with the child the justice system may separate him from"

I can't read my local newspaper's comments because no matter what the story, the comments are always racist. (I'm from Indianapolis).

A friend of mine posts pics of her kid with the other kids in their playgroup on Facebook non-stop. She does this so frequently that I now know the names of the other kids in the playgroup. One day, I was in Target, and in front of me is a little girl. I thought, oh there's Jill! I had never, ever met this kid or…

All the cool kids from my high school married young, have 2-3 kids at this point and live in a 20 mile radius from our hometown. I am EAGERLY awaiting our 10 year reunion because I picture it exactly like the cool girls from Romy and Michelle's HS Reunion. I just need a better strategy than saying I invented…

I hate read a few mommy bloggers who have smallish followings (like say 4,000 IG followers or so), and they are constantly getting gifted crap from Nordstrom's, Kate Spade, etc. I have no idea how much or how long it took them to get there or how many unique visitors they have, etc., I just know I'm shocked at how…

The thing is, with the most successful ones (and even the not so successful ones) the brands gift them the items so they can be seen wearing them/affiliate link the shit out of it. Not passing judgement, but a lot of them certainly aren't paying for all the items in their wardrobe.

When, my partner is out of town, I regularly drink a bottle of wine and sing loudly to 90s music videos into the middle of the night - well past my intended bedtime. That's totally normally, right?

What's fascinating to me about Abercrombie is the people who work at their home office. I live in Columbus, Ohio, and if you are at all interested in retail merchandising, there are actually quite a few home offices in Columbus (Abercrombie, Express, Limited, DSW). So the A+F crowd always tries to wax poetic about…

I'd have to go with: "He Didn't Have to Be" by Brad Paisley and "You're Going to Miss This" - Trace Adkins. B

For some reason, I consistently get emails encouraging me to join (1) Black People Meet-Up and (2) Christian Mingle. I am neither black nor Christian. They're persistent these sites.

Thanks for sharing - I definitely teared up.

I was totally waiting for this article to come out. I was just sooo grossed out by this last night. The whole, it would just be offensive to Eric's memory to show the rose ceremony. Ummm, what? What is offensive is to talk about how you want to memorialize Eric by asking Andi over and over again how it affected…

OMG - how do I delete these posts? I am sooooo sorry Jez!!!

I think the BMW analogy is spot on. This isn't an RCT, and there are tons of factors that can't be measured. It totally sucks that a bunch of people with BA's are underemployed. But, here's what some of these statistics don't capture. A college degree is still an entry ticket. Just because you're working in a job…
