Me too. I can do some basic makeup for special events but I definitely don't do much more than the minimum on a daily basis. Fortunately, most of the women around don't do much, if anything. But after reading about women who spend and hour plus putting on makeup everyday I wonder if people judge me for not wearing…

depends on the hair type. The average little black girl can't just comb and go. When I was little (early 80s), you had to get your hair straightened and then braided which took some time. It's better now that it's acceptable for girls to wear their hair natural but it still takes time.

Exactly. I know that bathrooms usually aren't as filthy as people think but I wouldn't want to chill on a toilet for 20 minutes at all but especially not while feeding a baby.

Who has time for that anyway? I don't have kids and I'm hard pressed to find the 30 minutes I need once a week to condition/wash/condition/detangle my hair now. The only people who regularly take hour-long, lingering showers like that are in movies.

There's a good chance that they don't learn "black" phrases. Then when they're older, they get told that they're "not black enough". It's lovely.

Am I the only one who doesn't get the attraction to Benedict Cumberbatch? He's got a nice strong chin but his eyes looked like he's had a botched eye job. I have friends who are *obsessed* with him, post about him all the time, and I just don't see it.

If it matters, I've never heard of "boo" as a racist term when referring to a significant other. In fact, the first people I heard using boo as a term of endearment were black people. I personally have always hated the term because I think it's a stupid word but I wouldn't think that someone is racist for using it.

One thing I wouldn't recommend doing is stacking your plates up and then bringing them over to the waitress who's on her break in the corner of the dining room and saying, "I was a waitress once and I just can't have these in front of me anymore." (which happened to a coworker of mine).

I always do this because it just seems inconsiderate not to. If the server is present, they'll often thank me so I think it's helpful. If it's not helpful, I mean well.

We didn't get the McRib in my area last year. I very seriously considered road-tripping to get my annual fix.

that's . . . odd. If the person in the stall next to me stood up and only had one foot on the ground, I'd wonder WTF was going on over there.

I've never used one (the opportunity has never really arisen). I worry though that there would just be a back splash of ass water. I could be envisioning the whole mechanics wrong though.

I don't care if it makes me an awful person but I LOVE McDonald's. If I wouldn't gain 500 lbs and die of a heart attack within the year, I would eat their every.damn.day.

Can someone tell me why people insist on calling it a pantsuit? Why isn't it just a suit? Feels vaguely sexist.

I think that's all true assuming we're talking about a person of at least some what normal intelligence. Meep seems to be one step above a drooling idiot (to use terminology from the time). He may have been a threat if left on his own but he doesn't seem capable of being on his own.

I know she was below the fever threshold but fevers rise. If she was at 99.5 F, there's a good chance that she was developing a fever and she would have soon been above the cutoff.

I think he doubled back around from annoying to fascinating for me.

Bette (?) wouldn't kill Dot because then they would both die. I'm assuming that she would somehow damage her vocal cords to prevent her from being able to sing. Not sure if that's possible though using just a regular knife.

I heard that the freak show idea was hers. If that's the case, she probably soundly want to bail mid-season.

It wasn't clear to me if Meep was a child or an adult with stunted growth. I thought he was a child last week but with the close ups he looked like an adult. Also, he seemed to have his own trailer.
