Unrelated, but, from your perspective - any insight on the ‘15 Fiesta dual clutch transmission? Problem solved?

AMEN, sister. Amen. I just had this conversation with someone. Had to explain it’s not really a cowtown but actually a very large city on a national scale.

FYI they’re made by Cole Haan, if that helps. Usually requires breaking in but good once so

Fair enough. I was murky enough on it myself that I was genuinely asking the question, and was genuinely confused. Only by some of the replies I got back (not yours) did I realize it seemed to invite the trolls.....

Also, were those domestic abuse allegations true? I think he’s super hot AND I love Macbeth and I will probably see this, truthfully, but we hate Chris Brown, et al, and don’t even mention it here?

I commented elsewhere about it, but I just finished reading a few books about the Bosnian war, and it reminded me of the rape camps run by the Bosnian Serb army that enslaved Bosniak women. This wasn’t very long ago, either. It seems this brand of barbarism is never really far from the surface on this planet.

Indeed, and we are finally starting to talk about the atrocities that the Bosnian Serb army committed against the Bosniak women (which doesn’t sound completely unlike this account with their rape camps and whatnot)

Absolutely. Abstractly, it’s something I think about a lot, even though we don’t have kids. What would happen, you know? And that’s from two countries that have a moderate amount in common like Spain and the USA (not to mention treaties and the like). Already, it’s exhausting thinking about how split our lives are…

I married a Spaniard, and am trying to convince him to move to Spain every year, just because I like it (despite it being a financial wasteland these days). At least - if all goes downhill! - I could be forced to move to Spain to see my kids? Always good to pick a good country when choosing a mate for life.

Sorry, I’m about a week late to this, but YES. You’re the first person I’ve “met” who understands my hatred of this weird trend! And, it’s only a trend in the US - it definitely isn’t in other countries, not as far as I can tell. I think it’s meant to convey that whomever is putting the words up is really, really deep…

I second Santo Spirito!

Florence is so small that it’s really one big neighborhood, but I would recommend Santo Spirito, just across the Ponte Vecchio. Very cute cafes and restaurants, and more local than touristy, which is huge for Florence (although you won’t be completely without tourists.....it IS Florence, after all!). I used to live in…

“which sounds chill enough”

This! This is exactly what they missed in this convo. She is accessibly pretty. Not too far out of the realm from someone you’d meet in real life. This is exactly why people can relate and why, yes, people want to fuck/marry her (or him).

I wrote about this on another Jez article, but I completely hear you. I got married last year to the best guy and someone I love very much, yet I bugged the fuck out when two exes got married the same weekend a few weeks ago. I had a pang of “that was my life!” and how could this guy who “didn’t see himself ever being…

It’s called a mantilla! This one is less-traditional, but same kinda idea. It can be worn on the head like that or more traditionally, with a prop-up underneath.

How about the caller who called in and said “it’s about Southern heritage”

re: seating chart. We found that anyone who didn’t like each other (we have a rather bitter divorce in the immediate family of my husband’s) naturally stayed far, far away from one another so, problem solved on that end. I guess the key was having enough tables and some extra chairs to be able to move around, as…

Things I was told I “have to do” or I “won’t feel like a bride” even though I was, literally, an actual bride:

Henleys are ill-advised? Since when?
