yep, that friend that gets bellierent and even after you pull her out of the bar/club somehow managers to slip eel-like through your grasp and you find her again on the dance floor or at the bar. After awhile that gets OLD and sometimes it's really hard not to just leave.

I think it is a sweet sentiment, but yeah. When my partned started to pull that I looke at him and told him, "I know you are trying to be sympathetic and supportive. But, I honestly feel like 'this' and 'this,' and you can't. Because someone has to be strong and healthy and unaffected to take care of everything that…

Britney Spears, when did you get here?

I know it's already been said, but, seriously??? You complain about young women not wanting to be associated with feminism, but then you poo poo someone who does want to be associated with it but just happens to not fit into your perfect little mold of what feminism should be? Way to keep propagating the idea the…

Yes, yes, yes!!!

As i responded to you in another post, yes, I think the burden lies on corporations. But, we, as shareholders need to be okay with corporations making less money. When corporations make less, there are less dividends and profits for shareholders. I know most people think of shareholders as the wealthy 1%, but aren't…

Can they, really? I'm nto saying that to be facetious, but with the economic downturn and the ongoing situation from which most of the middle class can't recover, I'm not sure that's true. I make decent money comparatively, but when I have been wearing the same work clothes for five years (true - other than very few…

I agree with you. And, it's not just use looking at the goods we buy; it's the whole structure. One of the ways successful people maintain wealth, and how everyone is encouraged to obtain wealth for retirement, is to play the stock market. When you own stock the company has a legal, fiduciary duty to spend your…

It's actually really funny when you put it that way. Most babies don't even have the motor-control to do anything like that for months. But, this baby wanted to be detached so badly he was able to summon that coordination needed well before his body should have been capable of it.

I don't think people have a problem saying black face is wrong. I think some have a problem saying this specific instance is black face. She wasn't painting her face black and making fun of or generalizing the black community as a whole. I think most people would be really clear on that being wrong.

Yeah, I'm gonna get killed for this too...I agree with you. She was dressing up as a character. One single, very specific character. She wasn't depicting black people in general. Or making fun of the black race. I, just, yeah...

I completely see his point. Hollywood can dredge up any horrible situation from history to tug at our emotions and say they are doing it because the story was important and needed to be told. That our lives are richer for knowing that aspect of it. When we all really know most movies get made because of the money to…

It's interesting... My partner was born and raised in one of the slave-trade nations of west africa. He says that children in his country are not taught in schools about the slave-trade. They hear about it in passing sometimes in discussions, so they have a general idea that it existed. But, the way he describes it,…

I don't think Emma was a slow build. There was a huge increase in the name Emma in the early 2000's when Jennifer Aniston's character on Friends named her daughter Emma.

I actually like the lyrics. That's my favorite part. I like that the lyrics point out that practicallye very other song on pop radio promotes an exorbitant lifestyle. i like that the lyrics point out that she and her friends recognize they will never be able to achieve those lifestyles and that's okay with them. I…

Yes. I am in my late thirties. I love Barbie, and I always have. (No, I never got any female image issues from that, which is beside the point but I felt needed to be added). if I had Candy Spelling/Barbra Streisand money I would totally have a separate Barbie room or storefront to display all the couture,…

please...

I was thinking the exact same thing.

I totally see what you're saying. The tone of this letter makes me wonder if the daughter grew up thinking shaming and kicking another family member out of her house was a normal reaction. While it is wonderful he spoke up, he is only perpetuating the hate cycle.

Birthandbaby.com lets you return bras, so you can try on different styles and return the ones you don't like. (I can't pull up the site right now, so I'm not sure if they only give you credit though.) As a new Mom, I think they are really helpful, and I found their sizing charts to be really accurate. Also, since…
