Did anyone read the article Marie Claire linked underneath called '15 Things You Should Never EVER Have In Your Home After 30'? Apparently 30 is the absolute limit for taping or pinning posters to your wall, because "by 30 you should invest in custom framing".

My great grandma used to say things looked American. This was absolutely not a compliment. She spoke maybe 20 words of English.

One of the nice things about continental europe is how people still put an effort into wearing actual clothes! Not just gym gear everywhere! Whenever I find myself back in an english-speaking country, I'm appalled by how shitty everyone is dressed.

Oh! And my Go Bag came in super handy when I left that psycho, too :-) $585, passport, 3 days of clothes

My husband was also my high school sweetheart for 3 years, and back in the day he was a super prolific love letter writer - 5-8 page letters, written on scrolled paper & tied with red ribbons - they were FANTASTIC. We broke up & went our separate ways for 10 years, during which time I married another [really horrible]…

After reading the MC article, all I can think of is Dong from The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt screaming "YOUR EXPERIENCES ARE NOT UNIVERSAL!!" at the snooty rich guy.

I do not have a toddler. But I do have F cups. No way will that pretty little suit will cope with the girls.

I lost my dignity in the birthing room.

swimsuits: UK brands freya, panache/cleo and curvy kate, among others, make fantastic bikinis and bra-sized swimwear — in actual, real, proper-fit cup/band sizes — that isn't frumpy. you can buy them retail on bravissimo, biggerbras, fig leaves and barenecessities or cheaply on ebay. done and done.

Any good one piece recommendations for a G-cup?

I have a wicked scar on my ankle from recent surgery (like 6 inches long). MY dad told me I should get some scar cream for it because, "girls and scars . . . I dunno."

My mom, brother and I laughed so hard at that weirdly sexists statement. It's still hilarious.

If you are wrangling a toddler in this, your boobs will be out in a heart beat.

I whole heartedly disagree with your assessment of tankinis. I have a very long torso, paired with a smaller bust and wider hips, which means that one-pieces are the devil. I bought one of these, and it is the sexiest and most comfortable bathing suit I've ever had. http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/la-blanca-gl…

Not to say it isn't lovely, but if someone has a toddler, they're not lounging next to the pool, they're wrastling alligators in the swamp. A hook in the back like this will mean that you rapidly plumber out as you've wrangled said child from the depths of a riptide in the ocean. No. There's other similarly styled…

I like tankinis because a lot of one-piece suits can't accommodate my boobs AND my stomach, so they feel too short. And, look, I'm all about body positivity, but I don't want the stretchmarks on my stomach on full display.

Now we're getting to the real blessing of the tankini: For ladies with tummy issues that still wanna be able to pee without wresting off a wet bathing suit (or having to casually swim away from everyone and pretend like you're not taking a pee right there in front of God and his swimmers).

I went the Tankini route a couple of years after I had my boys. Lucky Brand typically has some really cute ones that are not too frumpish.

That black and white swimsuit is so hot. But unless it's got cups sewn in, I would look droopy as fuck and it would be aesthetically unpleasant.

My FIL pulled a Newt and served my MIL with papers while she was in the hospital recovering from a hysterectomy. I'm looking forward to being completely unhelpful to him and his new wife whenever he starts getting old & sick.

Honestly, I have experienced such radical neglect during illness I am *certain* a major illness could sink us altogether! It sounds crazy, but remember people do die of the flu, and I had an awful bout of flu full-force massive fever, puking diarrhea, the works, on Boxing Day, lucky, lucky me. Managing to raise my…
