Valid point. But I had my panties in a bunch already when I posted. :)

The thing that cracks me up is that 41% of people think working class families like mine have a choice. I make too much money for any form of benefit but barely enough to get by and the same goes for my soon-to-be-born daughter’s father. I’m grateful the company I work for does some sort of maternity leave so I’ll get…

In the books, it seems like the White Walkers reemerged in force due to Mance Rayder's digging around up in the Frostfangs looking for the Horn of Winter. It seemed like there were maybe a couple of them roaming around (as evidenced by Craster's sacrificing his sons to them), but Ygritte has a line about "digging up…

I personally ADORE the Boltons, specifically Ramsey, as the main "bad guys" this season. Their sadism seems to be more calculating (in Roose's case) and joyful (in Ramsey's case) than the sadism of the Lannisters. Cersei is/was power-hungry shrew whose motives are based in fear and Joffrey was pretty much a simple…

This was the practice in the salon where I worked. If the assistant worked on a client (who had a long, multistage process) and wasn’t tipped, the stylist would break out part of that client’s tips to the assistant. Maybe in some salons the assistant receives a portion of the stylist’s tips? I don’t know. But I do…

The fact that all my coworkers are ultra-conservative bankers helps me feel like a rebel with a cause

I work for a very very large national bank that does an annual employee giving campaign. Every year, I quietly renew my biweekly contribution to my local planned parenthood. I can only afford a tiny amount of money, but I make sure it's taken directly from my paycheck and it makes me very happy.

When I masturbate tonight, I'm going to think of you, you glorious, glorious amazing person.

As a fellow curly haired lass, I agree that many stylists have no idea how to handle curly hair. Especially if you - GASP - actually wear your hair curly.

I agree with the 20% to the stylist/more if the hair is super amazing. But as for the shampoo girl (having been one myself), you should tip as is appropriate to the amount of work she did. For example, if an assistant just gives you a basic wash/condition before a cut, that's a $3-$5 tip, depending on how well she…

I'm seven months pregnant with my first daughter...is it too late for an abortion?

(Seriously though, I'm hoping that I'm as successful at communicating the facts of life as my mom was. My mom was all about keeping it real, despite her FBI-like investigative tendencies. "I'm not an idiot, you're going to have sex…

"They told me there was nothing they could do..."

I'm feeling the nerdrage too!

"You can't even smoke a Virginia Slim in the laundry mat while you flip through the Enquirer and wait for your dryer cycle to end"

Avalon? Sounds like Avalon.

There's no holding it in. I never escaped Delco and now it has marked me as its own!

I used to feel that way about Wildwood, until I went to Coney Island. Now I agree with you, Coney Island is fucking amazing.

Lou Reed is dead?!
*runs to google*

As a rule, I find some places down the shore are good for boardwalk adventures, and some are good for beach adventures. You can't usually have it all at one place.

*Edit* - "down the shore"...my Philly is showing a bit, yeah?
