Oh, I can reserve you a flight coming *back* from Chicago at 5:55.

This is mean and awful. No one should be placing blame on this girl. I don’t care what people think of her and her family. I stayed in an awful and abusive relationship for years because I was afraid that my leaving or whatever would set up something like this. This is a grown man responsible for himself and his own…

Most of those kind of stories are apocryphal.

I heard an interview with the author of that book. She was interesting and told fascinating stories.

Wine Label Wall Paper!!!

Yeah, this. (Also, $30/month is not merely “affordable,” that’s insane. Plenty of people who don’t understand square footages might be willing to make that compromise if they assume there’s at least a little more room than it seems.)

I’m disappointed this author did not link to your friend’s article; the original Elle article was very sweet and actually made much more sense of the situation than this article did. Sadly, it seems the Jezebel author used her personal snark skills instead of her actual journalism skills.

Love hurts.

A little slutty? looool most men are super judgmental. They’ve definitely shared stories about the woman among each other. It’s super shitty, of course, but you have to know what could happen if you mess with several friends in the same group. I mean, come on.

A good friend knows whether it’s time to lie or time to tell the truth.

You hit the nail on the head.

EXACTLY THIS. I watch a lot of YouTube makeup people (it’s something fun but kind of mindless that I can have on while I do work and have my morning coffee), and there’s tons of “trendy” stu that they do that I’ll never have a need for in my daily life—strobing, etc.—but hey, if you wanna look super contoured and take…

Yeah starting off with a not-so humble-brag like that prepared me for the epic cringe that resulted immediately after.

This needs more stars for all the truth bombs you are dropping!!!!

Yes, Kandee is a for real sweetie.

Can this be a permanent disclaimer?

Why? Because our lives are mundane drudgery and all of us want something, no matter how brief and stupid, that is magical and special to happen to us. No one gets an owl at age 11, no one follows a white rabbit down a hole. We sustain ourselves with fictions because reality is mostly an awful, cold place where you…

In CA, you can make an appointment at the DMV as well. Max wait time 10 minutes after check-in. But we apparently have the enhanced licenses here (just got mine renewed) since CA isn’t on the list. Also, here, we get our passports (new and renewal) through either USPS (with appointment) or through the local county…

Selling my clothes drunk on HSN is my dream job.

Just how old do you think I am? If I grew up listening to the Stones it was because my parents had a few of their albums tucked away, though they were more Beatles fans. It isn’t really about age, it’s about having an interest in something other than what’s right in front of your face. Which of course is why Keith’s…
