I was thinking something similar, but slightly different. Like, maybe people who have the desire to follow celebrity pregnancies and compare themselves are more likely to be focused on the how it makes you look as opposed to the baby. Or maybe people who tend to be more self-critical in general are more likely to…

Me too. I have no fucking clue who this person is. But I think I'll be able to move past it.

Everything you said, plus I'd add:

In 'Clerks' people keep walking into the convenience store and asking for 'A pack of smokes.' Way back when I first saw that movie that drove me bananas because OMG there are so many brands of cigarettes, you need to be more specific than that. Now I realize that it was probably because the movie's eight dollar budget…

You might not have to start playing dress-up. When I worked at a law firm, I pretty much wore black pants and a t-shirt every day. Or turtleneck or sweater, depending on the weather. I couldn't wear sneakers, obviously, but I wore basic flats that I took off whenever I was sitting at my desk. And I wasn't choosing…

I'd be on board with text-enabled only, but single use might be taking it a bit far. I have a burner because I'm not on facebook or twitter so I don't have anything to link another kind of account to, but even if I did I'd feel a little iffy about doing so. I feel like there needs to be some kind of way for people who…

This is pretty much my rebuttal whenever someone says that Green Day was The Worst Thing To Happen To Punk because Good Charlotte and Sum 41 and Fall Out Boy. Without getting into whether or not Green Day is objectively a good band, the blame for Good Charlotte falls squarely on the members of Good Charlotte and no…

I'm not plus sized, but there's absolutely no way I could afford to spend that much on clothes. Nothing wrong with spending it if you have the money, but it's not just about whether women are willing to spend $170 on a pair of jeans, or whether they've been conditioned to only buy on sale, it's about whether or not…

I don't think this is the case. I mean, you can grow tomatoes in your backyard too. Doesn't mean that no one can make money selling them. You can bake your own bread, but people still buy it. Not everyone in inclined to DIY stuff, plenty of people would rather pay for someone who is better at it to do it for them.…

I'm sorry, they're making them out of USED underwear and lingerie? Why would you make something meant to go over your head out of something that used to go on your ass instead of, say, cutting up an old t-shirt? Or buying a yard of fabric? Did they not read the poop thong post?

A lot of people are posting comments along the lines of "Getting invited to your wedding isn't that important anyway, lady" and while that is precisely how I feel about weddings, I have to point out that there are actually people who for whatever reason really do get their feelings hurt about not being invited to…

Yeah, I had a co-worker who got married this past spring and in the run-up to her wedding she mentioned that a couple of other people from the office had been miffed that they didn't get invites. These are people she only sees at work and there's no real reason for her to invite them. So I get that it's kind of…

Oh yeah, I totally agree with that. I would get annoyed when we tried to include the cost of credit card transactions in the pricing and people would get angry about it. Apparently there are people who think 'cost of doing business' means that you can't set prices so that they actually cover those costs, particularly…

That is an excellent point about alleviating the miserable drudgery that is work life. My last job was boring yet stressful and I never felt like I was accomplishing anything, in the sense that the work never seemed to be finished, but also in the sense that I wasn't contributing anything to the world by doing it. I…

I hear you. I worked for a independently owned coffeehouse around 2006 or so, when people in my area were starting to use cards for absolutely everything. When someone charges a $3.00 latte there goes your profit. And for some reason, people get really pissy about price increases if you're doing it to cover credit…

Holy crap, look what I just found on Amazon!

I give absolutely anyone who has earned the title of "Dr." a pass when they choose that. My mother, stepmother and grandmother are all PhD's and having seen how much work goes into earning a doctorate degree (or an MD for that matter, but I don't know any), I think anyone who has done it has bloody well earned the…

I know, right! I just want some plain black cotton underwear. ONLY plain black cotton underwear. Reasonably sturdy plain black cotton underwear (I've found that if there's any kind of lace it falls apart in the wash). This does not exist in the US either.

Where? Online? Is there a store that carries them?
