This actually made me laugh out loud.

Breach of contract, not breech.

You totally should. I have approximately 20 masks right now from glossy box/sephora samples and I'm still not entirely sure the difference b/w clay masks and peels and exfoliants and such. I just use them all in total random rotation.

I have been! It's great!!

Doing your nails is one of the greatest forms of stress relief. That and face masks. I think I'm feeling stress coming on...

I was about to make the same comment... I have a jar opener. I married him.

I thought that the cut off age has been moved up? Have you reassessed? The same kind of thing happened to me when the cut off was 25 but I thought it was higher now.

HOLD UP. "I love you right up to the moon— and back." is from a children's book? Holy fuck I hate that phrase so so so much.

I love it, too! But pricey for the average consumer I'd guess. I rewarded myself with one after a good raise. :)

I suppose the best answer to that is: you kind of can, but it is in the form of granting licenses for use. So I suppose if she wanted to go through the effort (and the seller's even wanted to enter into contracts) of granting licenses to all these people, it may work.

Not really, or at least, not as the law current stands. You can't really parse things out. In order to maintain a valid trademark you have to actively work to keep it yours and only yours, and if you don't, it's basically a defense that you've abandoned it.

Sadly this is what I was afraid of! :(

The law doesn't work that way, though. If you let the little people skate, then when the big guy (who does pose a threat to you commercially) infringes, and you bring suit, they bring up a whole host of reasons why you didn't adequately protect your trademark because you knew that these 100 people were using it and…

I don't know a ton about trademark (not my area of the law) but what I do know is this: if you want to keep a trademark, you have to make an effort to protect it. If you trademark something you can't, say, keep all the big guys from using it but let the little guys do what they will. The law just doesn't work that…

Tracy, since your daughter is about the right age, have you tried the Goldie Blox with her? I guess it's a bit more engineering than science... but still I've considered buying for my niece and always wondered how much parental involvement is required to get the full benefit (read: my nieces parents are sadly not…

Ditto.

Ugh, but it's dry clean only.

It should probably be illegal for me to read this feature. Anything on sale at sephora right now? I haven't made a purchase in about 3 hours and only have 4 packages on their way right now.

Thanks. :-D That would probably be a more meaningful job than acting as an attorney for the IRS but alas, we do what we do. ;)

I know; totally crazy. I may be making this up, too (it was several years ago) but I seem to recall that either the defendant or the co-worker were relatively new to the job; like, they hadn't been working together all that long. Discretion was not a trait this guy had.
