Angelina Jolie used to be older than me, but now she is younger. So odd.

Thanks! It made me smile too. :)

I also have a teenager and believed the same. He was playing the computer (he’s almost 16) and writing something (I assumed game-related)...until he brought me the card he was actually making.

The couches are often for nursing mothers because you know, you get arrested or yelled at if you dare to breastfeed outside the bathroom and it’s not really nice feeding your baby sitting on a toilet.

Yeah but I don’t know if you find the sizing charts to be correct, but I never do. It’s like the chart is not vanity sized but the clothes are. According to Ann Taylor’s size chart, I wear size 10 pants. Except I don’t. I wear size 6 Ann Taylor pants. I’m wearing them right now. I have about 10 pairs. I also wear size…

I gotta say, I thought she was a good singer (better than him), I disagreed with the judges’ decision there. I was frankly super annoyed by the idea that the baby was “distracting” when she was singing but apparently fine when he was. Just one more moment where a woman can’t be separated from her identity as mother…

I theorize this is because those people don’t have to make all the regular decisions. Breakfast? Chef decides that. What to wear today? Publicist decides that. Do these shoes go with that bag? I dunno, ask the personal assistant. Which route is fastest to the office today? Pretty sure the driver will figure that one…

FMR doesn’t work that way. It wouldn’t apply to a co-conspirator shot by the officer.

Uhm, did we go to the same jr high? Lotta creepy math teachers.

My 7th grade math teacher was known for looking down girls’ shirts (he would drop things and tell you to pick them up.) he tried to get me to go into the classroom with him after school and, terrified, i made up some excuse and booked out of there. He reported to the (also male) school counselor that he thought i was…

Given that the Phillipe in question *is the one who made the chart*, and was a *senior advisor* and given that the actual quote about the hours included “without positive reinforcement I’m not sure I can continue to invest myself...” I find it ridiculous that it isn’t abundantly clear to some that the whole thing was…

also my “you” above was a general you , not directed at you, nefretemerson! I was just jumping off your post because of parents. :)

Both of my parents are what I would think to be fairly typical republican voters- that is to say, generally sane with a few tendencies that make me go “mmmkay.” (For example, they have a pretty right wing view on immigration and both think that the “gays and transgender people are just making such a fuss.”) They watch…

THAT DRESS CAME IN BOTH BLUE AND WHITE> WE WERE ALL TRICKED. *twitch* *twitch* I’m ok. Really. *twitch*

My son had a middle school history quiz, one of the questions was what year the constitution was written. I had to email his teacher when he got it wrong to explain that no, the constitution was not written in 1776. That’d be the Declaration of Independence. Different document, teacher-man.

Ugh typos. *requisite

Yeah I have recurring back issues from cheerleading, and one girl on my squad broke her jaw when her catchers caught her foot tipping her facefirst into the ground. I was also a cheerleader in the 90’s and we all permed the crap out of our hair trying to make it look like that girl’s ! We just had to have the…

Same rule here, he’s a teenager now. I use the same answer I use for lots of things. It’s the same answer my parents gave me on a lot of things and of course it made me mad as a kid but guess what? it’s ok for kids to be mad sometimes. So my answer to the eternal “why can you do X and I can’t?” is “because I’m an…

Because if you’re in LA, and you want to get anywhere in the industry, one way to make connections is to become involved with scientology. It’s not just the people in front of the cameras either. My ex-boyfriend was a prop master on movies and shows back in the early 2000’s (you’d know the shows if I named them), and…

Yeah ,her handling of that whole thing completely changed my opinion of her. I’m sure it did not hurt that her father is a lawyer. Bad move on Tom’s part, didn’t think that one through before he picked her.
