I did that once and now she doesn't speak to me. I helped out with the party planning and everything but I turned down the maid spot because I live in a different city and couldn't make it to all the stuff she wanted us to do. I wanted her to have someone who'd be with her for the photos, flowers, and gown fittings. I…

That's the inside bath house. The elephants at the Columbus Zoo, all the animals at the Columbus Zoo, have both indoor and outdoor houses. They bath them down in the concrete house because it's easier to wash them off and clean up all the poops. They're other outside home is really wonderful trees, watering hole,…

I can understand where you're coming but as a member and long time supporter of the Columbus Zoo I can assure you the Columbus Zoo is an amazing place. This little elephant is all grown up now and really happy in our zoo. Though I don't support keeping elephants in standard zoos the Columbus Zoo is designed to…

I might be slightly off base her but I'm not going to pass judgement on what another person does with their bodies. Unless of course you're forcing in on a child or a partner. A person can get fake boobs and get the fat sucked out of them all they want because her/his body his/her choice. I understand the whole thing…

What I'm not understanding here is where this "family" was when she was having her job interview. Unless you're interviewed on the spot, which happens with service jobs, her family that the kids are with now could have helped. I feel bad but I feel like some details are missing.

I wore a mid thigh dress with no tights and flats to work yesterday. It was like 35 outside. Wishing the weather warmer did nothing but making me turn on my space heater :/

What the hell? They're real Christians so they pull their money from a charity that has like a 90% positive rating to make a point about how Jesus "hates the gays"? Think of the children my ass.

and that is why I'm one of those shitty people who puts on purse on the bus seat (unless it's really full)

That's what most of us do, at least I know that's what I do. I dare to say we might be agreeing on something. I don't divert my eyes and tremble in fear. I stand up for myself but if I did this every time not only would I be emotionally drained I would be living most of my day in a state of aggression and hate.

I'm really glad you're asking questions. I'm not sure if you want the answers because they fall out of the framework of what you normally relate to but I'll do my best.

Sigh. You just proved my point. I'm saying that catcalling is a form of bullying that is not driven by sexuality but by someone's need to belittle someone else. I refuse to take this to a person level, like you just did, but I'm glad you're agreeing with me. Bullies will bully anyone but when men (or other women)…

I feel like NPH was not into that at all. He was like... dude... reruns. You have the funniest guy on TV ever running around NY and you give some other dude the mic? WTF

You can disagree until you're blue in the face but the earth is still round, the sun is still the center of our universe, and you're still wrong about the reasons for catcalling. It's another form of abuse. It means that the catcaller feels he has the right, privilege, to comment on a body that is not his. It reduces…

Sorry I didn't video tape it for your viewing pleasure. I'm sure you'd be creepy enough to enjoy watching a girl being scared for her life.

I normally don't feed trolls but I can tell you that because of the the location of my office and where my old home address was I am cat-called a couple times a week. It's not about sex or beauty it's about power and a sense of entitlement. When I walk to my car from work random guys will whistle or yell something…

The only reason I could even see this being reasonable is if they had some rule set up for safety reasons. I guess wearing a head scarf could endanger someone or yourself but getting it... caught... in something... or whatever...

I used to call my Mom once a week. She's a hard right tea party member but I just ignore it. We had a huge fight a month or so ago, I doubt anyone remembers but I got some great advice from many of you on how to handle it, and we're down to a couple of times a month. Mostly it's communication about my 92 year old…

Sadly, I don't. Mr. Pug put it and the mockingjay pin in my stocking this Christmas. I asked him and he just laughed.
