What is with the weird gold heels? Not hating on gold heels, but these are just odd.

Lower East Side - the lower blocks in Manhattan near where the WTC was.

I fully agree with your statement. It was like when my husband's friend's friend went to the LES dressed as Bin Laden and was surprised when a bunch of drunk guys threatened to kick his ass.

You can wear a Denim shirt with a nice eyelet or seersucker skirt. I've seen a few girls here down South do it, and they look really cute.

Or even kitty bowl.

Ugh, this whole thing makes me sick. Yet, last week, 17 million people tuned into watch the Ravens game on CBS. 17 million. There are at least 17 million people living in our country that see domestic violence and child abuse as 'no big deal', or at least not a big enough deal to stop tuning in.

Let us also not forget that youth crime rates have dipped in the past three decades so it's not like the 'spare the rod' mentality was working so well back in the day.

It was okay for the first hour, then she started talking to them about ball-shaving, and it just got worse.

Some people have genuinely gross feet. I don't mind clean feet on a floor (Hell, I'm barefoot in my office right now) but there are some people who have feet that absolutely reek.

I'm not a frequent flyer, but one time I was on a coach to the Hamptons with a very drunk old lady (think: Lucille Bluth) who kept aggressively hitting on two gay guys for the entire trip. And we got stuck in traffic. It was very uncomfortable for everyone.

I need to take introvert time. The kids are usually up at 7ish, we spend the day together (the wee one takes a mid-day snooze but the eldest is still up in the afternoons), then the kids are in bed between 7 and 8ish. Literally, the second the eldest settles in, usually with a few stuffed animals or books, it's…

It may be some form of depression - your friend should get herself checked. I felt that way when my oldest was two, literally I took care of him and really didn't enjoy the time with him. When he was asleep, my two hobbies were drinking and sleeping. Once I got some basic treatment for my anxiety disorder, things were…

Love the cut-out leather!

That's what I came here to say. My mom was a terrible mother who wanted four children; my dad wanted no children. For the majority of my life, he treated me the same way he treated house cats: taking care of my basic need and occassionally clucking and saying "isn't she adorable?" when I did something cute. I was not…

I remember driving upstate with a friend from NC and we were on the NYS Thruway. She saw the exit sign for Coxsackie and laughed like a 12 year old at the name.

The fact that she chose a vanilla air freshener adds an extra level of #basic.

Look up Pre-Trial programs for youth and/or adults. They can run up to $5000.

If you are a specialist, it is perfectly legal not to take insurance, as long as there are other specialists available nearby that do take insurance. When I worked in a Physical Therapy office, the head PT did not accept insurance for orthopedic injuries, since there were other PTs in the office that did ortho…

Yeah, my doctor was like "do you really want diarrhea and labor at the same time?"

Haha - bumpy roads are supposed to work 2. I remember considering riding the F train from end to end when I was 40 weeks pregnant to get the damn kid out.
