Outloud laugh for that one.

Did you see that Cosmo article about Ivanka having a place in her father’s administration and “voluntarily” complying with ethics laws? It was SCATHING. Hey, Cosmo, who would’ve guessed it? Well, welcome to the Resistance!

Hello Poodle! Hey, sorry for the delayed response, I completely missed this til now! Typing I’m ok with - autocorrect catches the words I can’t remember how to spell. Writing things down is more difficult, and I’m having the most trouble speaking - I keep forgetting words. I also lost my drivers license for six months

I love Madewell - though they do suffer from the same “why pay full price when I know this will be on sale if I wait a month” issue that JCrew does. But I find their quality to be a lot better than the last few JCrew pieces I purchased.

A mate of my husband’s got his blood type tattooed on his upper arm (they were in the army). As it turns out, he was incorrect about his own blood type.

I do tend to side part my hair......but on the other side (the scar is slightly to the left) - it honestly had not occurred to me to try parting it on the opposite side. Thank you, I will give that a try!

I’m an American who’s Ben in the UK for several years, and I think it’s different here than the US. Vasectomies get mentioned pretty casually amongst our friends who are finished having kids - my husband has already said, without my ever bringing it up, that he will go get it when the time comes. I’ve never heard

Really? I would be petrified if she so much as raised a slightly annoyed eyebrow in my direction!

This is a weird one, but if you put an orange, some spices like cinnamon or nutmeg, and some water in a bowl, then microwave for 5-ish minutes, your kitchen will smell amazing. (It’s part of a recipe for a cake.)

Any hair experts out there? A few months ago, I had a serious head injury. I’m lucky to be alive and feel very silly about this very vain post, but.....I have naturally curly hair and was told to avoid heat styling while the wound was healing. It was on the top of my head, so I couldn’t see it myself, plus my curls in

Ahh, I’m so happy for you!! Congratulations, what a relief that must be :)

I live in the UK currently, and there are towns here still bemoaning the loss of coal - coal has mostly been gone for generations, and people still talk wistfully about mining. Hard, dangerous, miserable work that killed or maimed their grandfathers and great grandfathers, and yet they miss it and refuse to move from

That I can see, and now that I consider, that was probably her argument - thanks. I do question how effective a white individual, even if they are the face of the movement, would be at changing the minds of, say, a black person?

I mean this respectfully, as I really like Janet Mock, but I don’t understand why she says she thinks it would be white people’s jobs to get the non-like-minded people? I completely get that line of thinking when it comes to race issues - yes, it is white people’s responsibility to call that shit out amongst fellow

Oh good, I was worried I was missing something fundamental here! (I also use soap, because I cannot be bothered with one more goddamn product to worry about.)

Anyone ever see the miniseries Black Out? They did a British version and an American version. It’s a fictionalised account of what happens when power to t h entire nation goes off for an extended period. It’s amazing how fast things went to hell and people turned into animals. I started stock piling food after that -

For those of us who shave....aren’t your legs getting washed then, by default, when you lather up pre-shave?

Mission success!

No, no - I didn’t mean to make it sound that way. Without me (such as the years before we were married), he would’ve found the date in his calendar and then asked her what she wanted himself. My point was more that because I’m here, he doesn’t think to do these things, because a woman is around and probably has it

I really, really need a magnet for my fridge that says “make your own damn dinner.” Off to Etsy.....!
