“The fact that she tried to pin it on an innocent black man and was caught doing so IS evidence of her guilt.” 

Why the Statue of Liberty is green: Oxidation of copper

She’s going to have a hell of time proving that it was that lipstick that gave her herpes. I wouldn’t want to open myself up to an investigation on where my lips have been, which I’m assuming Sephora’s lawyers will have to bring up?

Yes, this! I have never been offended or annoyed when a man approached me... respectfully.

Canadian lady: I think that when all is said and done, finding a partner that satisfies you SO WELL like your boyfriend does is going to matter more than if you had a little extra maternity leave.

I loved grapenuts as a kid! I’d also take a salad over a burger any day... so maybe I was a weird kid. YOURE WELCOME, mom.

No, they’re apparently $500 Monolo Blahniks! Maybe they came out after Carrie said it was ok.

You are correct. I was just thinking of their most recent revival. They’re still going strong though! Thank god, or we’d see kitten heels again.

Fwiw, your patch of leg hair being waxed off probably hurt 60% more than it hurts to wax eyebrows. Bikini area is a different matter altogether though

I once had two friends execute a browvention on my terrible eyebrows and I’ve been forever thankful. However, we were in 8th grade and not grad school, but still.

No makeup lady: Ignore the advice you were given... for now. It doesn’t sound like your new friends realize that you’re uncomfortable with their suggestions. Tell them you’re just not interested! If they’re over the age of 12, they should let it go and y’all can go on with your burgeoning friendship.

Racist MIL: I think if you’re going to argue with your MIL over her racism, you need to be sure to pick very clear-cut examples of her racism to point out, not examples that are not inherently racist (no, protesting immigrant shelters in your community is not inherently racist -it often stems from that but there are…

How could you leave out the flip flop kitten heel abomination that tarnishes the memories of my youth?

I’m afraid you’re dating yourself (and now me) - I think the emergence of flats was really much closer to 15 years ago!

Have y’all tried books, videos, etc to give each of you an idea of what exist out there so you can try it and see what you like?

LW1: After 7 years of dating this guy who ticks so so many boxes, I’m not sure you remember how terrible it is out here in single land! I would suggest that leaving him is your very last, very extreme option that you may live to regret sorely. All the other good stuff you talk about makes up 99% of your daily life.

The husband acknowledged that he has feeling for the ex, and not platonic ones. I don’t think it’s inappropriate to request that he doesn’t be speak to her, although I find it sad that he didn’t shut that down all in his own once he got serious with the LW.

I think it definitely could be a way to develop and maintain an emotional affair! I’m guessing the emails included declarations of love, lust, etc. and that’s why the LW is calling the relationship an affair.

“You’re not allowed to purchase flood insurance at any price”.

I worked in insurance in Texas for years. No bank will provide a mortgage for a home in a flood zone without flood insurance being purchased. Both Harris and Ft. Bend county are definitely in flood zones, as is any area on the coast. Fortunately, most should be covered!
