I’m just like my country / I’m young, scrappy and hungry.

I told my mother I didn’t own a brush. She was flabbergasted. And yet she has curly hair too! She straightens it to hell now, but you’d think she’d know brushing curly hair is a stupid decision.

Oh, yes. You have to opt out of pockets, for the most part. They make you actively decide to be a pocket-hating monster.

I’ll second eShakti as a fellow dresses-with-cardigans lover. Well-made, well-tailored and customize-able. Pockets are standard. I can't bring myself to shop at other plus-size stores now. It's finding maybe one item vs. 50 on eShakti. And eShakti serves every size, which is delightfully democratic.

Disagree. The beauty of a chintz chair cannot be overstated! But, yeah, you gotta include solid-color furniture/accents to temper it.

That fabric on a chair would be perfection!

Not to mention voter turnout in Texas is god-awful when it’s not a presidential race.

The feeling of suffocation is what gets me. I prefer a colder temperature (Case in point: I really only turn the heat on in the winter when it gets around the freezing point). Sleeping over at houses where they keep the thermostat above 72 degrees is awful, especially because the air is so stagnant. I’m hot AND…

But this means you haven’t yet seen The West Wing (which explains these symbols in one particular episode that deals with neo-nazis), and that’s a damn shame.

I purposely avoided listening to that song, so I can’t speak to its specific asshole-lishness. But my local country radio station still plays “I’m Still a Guy” and “Online” regularly, and it always gets in my craw.

Brad Paisley’s the one with the asshole hit songs (“I’m Still a Guy,” “Online”).

Also, this ruling requires all abortion clinics (Save McAllen until another clinic opens) to be ambulatory surgical centers. RVs would not qualify.

You’re welcome! (Why am I just now checking my notifications? Haha)

This may help (unless you hate Internet shopping; as always, it’s hard to find in-store options): http://wtfplus.tumblr.com/post/773035549…

Sleeves! And pockets on the other dress! This is one of the many reasons I love Oscar de la Renta.

Yaaas. Let’s not forget that Viola Davis is also supposed to be working on a Barbara Jordan biopic, which I am anxiously looking forward to seeing.

Same. I get the concept in theory, but somewhere between the lesson and the actual trying-of-the-styling, I can’t do it. This is aided in part by my curly hair’s utter refusal to separate itself when I try to grab another piece of hair for the braid.

Too true. I’m pretty much only-dresses at this point, and people are always saying I’m so dressed up. Like... I put no effort into this. It takes me less than a minute to “get dressed.”

Don’t forget questions about twincest. Ugh. Or identical twins marrying other identical twins (like that’s a thing that’s expected! No! It’s creepy!)

THIS IS WHAT I KEEP TELLING PEOPLE!
