Maybe, but some kids in those circumstances are bratty nightmares, just like some kids who are traveling to a tropical vacation/to see grandma/to go to Disneyland are delightful and well behaved.

That may have been what you meant, but what you said was “And I think children shouldn’t be in airplanes until they can manage to not be a nuisance.” That doesn’t leave any room for extenuating circumstances.

So, when military families have to move (every 2-3 years), should they just leave their small children in the street? Or if a close family member dies and there isn’t someone available to babysit the children for several days, does that mean that the parent can’t go to their own parent/sibling/grandparent’s funeral?…

I’m not sure if it’s true everywhere, but in my experience, most sorority houses are dry (as mandated by the national organization), so even if they are technically allowed to throw a party (and they do host rush “parties” and such), they can’t serve any alcohol or even let people BYOB.

As if I wasn’t already sad enough about Alan Rickman. Sigh. This is my all-time favorite Disney movie.

This may sound (or look) a little gross/suggestive, but it works: After you put your lipstick/gloss on, put your finger (or a writing instrument, I guess) in your mouth, close your lips around it, and then pull your finger out. It wipes off the lipstick that would otherwise get on your teeth.

I…

I thought the whole thing with Mansur Gavriel is that their bags don’t have logos, or the logos are very small and not readable by passersby, so you are supposed to buy them because they are lovely and well made, not as a blingy status symbol-type item. Of course, then they became trendy and beloved by fashion folk,…

A lot of them do get married early. But not always. I have an acquaintance who is very attractive (at least until he starts talking... kind of like Tim Tebow) but is just extremely awkward socially. He was still a virgin when he got married at 28ish, and of course his wife got pregnant very soon afterward and they had…
