I'm WELL into middle age, and even my friends joke that you will never catch me at home with pants on. The kids have to warn me when they have friends over. Sometimes their friends come over after I have gone to bed and I roam into the kitchen in the middle of the night not knowing anyone else is in the house and we…

My husband switches up what he drinks pretty regularly. Usually it's wine, but he will alternate with a single malt Scotch and rarely (now), beer. The kids and I ALL can guess when he's drinking whiskey by this little hostile edge he gets. Nothing overt, but a bit assholish. (And it's not that he drinks as much Scotch…

In the 80's I worked in an abortion clinic. We already had half of La. coming to us (Texas) for procedures. That clinic closed about a month ago. I can't tell you what a hardship that is on many, many women. They are often struggling financially already and this is beyond fucked up. It's really funny, (irony funny,…

And definitely no "false" nails.

This is hard for me to admit to being SO stupid, but when I was 16, I got a job as a nurse's aid in a nursing home. My dress was up to my ass, and I found the only high-heeled nursing shoes in existence (mid 70's). I realized that wasn't good choices out of comfort, if no other reasons, as I had to dip, rather than…

And the original:

I told my husband not to bring this back in the house again. I call it Krack. I was eating it at night for dessert. It's certainly not a nutritious "meal".

The "beach hair" product I have used in the past. http://www.amazon.com/Kusco-Murphy-B… I mean BEACH HAIR!

Try the volumizer gel. ("Reflectives" may be in the title, but it works better than anything I have EVER used.)

Ah, ah! I just told my husband I wrote this, and he said, "We didn't get the 386 for years after the 286." So we did start with a 286, but you're far younger than we are. Husband says he thinks we actually paid more that $2-3K but I have no idea. It was a LOT at the time! (Of course our 35 year old son remembers that…

All you whippersnappers get off my front porch! We had an Acer +/- 1985, with an Intel 386 microprocessor. That thing had dozens, if not HUNDREDS of megs of memory.

ETA: And I wish I could remember the exact cost, but it was $2000-3000. Yikes.

Nordstom's for SURE! I just quit buying from JCrew because of soooo many quality issues, and customer service that wasn't helpful, but Nordstom's BACKS what they sell. Plus they allow reviews and better views of their clothing. Buh Bye, JCrew.

Nordstrom's is THE best at good customer policies/relations in my experience. I have really liked everything I have ever bought from them. The only problem I have with Nordstrom's is how they style their clothing on models. Somehow, they don't show as cute online as they do in person, which I usually find to tbe the…

I agree and even some Ann Taylor, but you have to watch the dowdy factor (and I'm of dowdy age).

Michelle Obama. (Seriously I LOVE her, but once she bumped them back up, they seem to take all concessions in the world to turn some clothes over.)

What I wish they would carry is some more silver toned items. Silver jewelry, silver hardware on bags/purses, etc. Gold is hideous on my skin tone but J Crew loves the gold.

I still have JCrew items from the early 80's. Still in great shape, classic styles, well made. It's a whole new animal now. I will get a top that arrives wrinkled, but you can't get the wrinkles out. Seams can be skipped on the sewing for an inch. I had a cashmere hoody (don't judge, it was a great gift to me) and…

Beats me, but I don't want to know them.

I know. I keep waiting for it to "click" and watch posters slink away with their tails between their legs....but noooooo......

Twins, triplets, quads? Daddy had a side piece?
