Wow, seems really shitty. Especially if those people were counting on it. Super lame.

Thank you! I could not figure out what was going on with that necklace. I could not come up with any reason for him to be wearing it.

Clearly a silvery-blue color, you’re fine.

That should definitely help. I hike in running capris sometimes. Jeans are just so heavy. Exercise pants have better mobility and dry faster.

This gives me hope! I’ll be 31 at the end of the month. I’ve pretty much always felt hopelessly unstylish. But I’ve been (slowly) trying to up my makeup game. I’ve figured out some about my hair. Hopefully clothes revelations will present themselves soon.

It sounds like you’re on a limited budget based on your comment about not having hiking gear. But, as soon as you can, I strongly second the recommendation to get a hydration pack. It’s just so much easier to stay hydrated. And it’s much easier to have the weight evenly distributed between your shoulders instead of…

"Dried out" seems a bit extreme. Social Security will most definitely be around in 40 years, although like JTS suggests, maybe in a slightly different form.

Wow, that really sucks. I'm sorry your parents treat you like that. That's really messed up.

I climb, and I get scrapes and bruises all the time. I got my elbow today. Generally they're small though. And climbing is too much fun, not going to give it up to avoid some cuts.

As a person with a food blog, I'd encourage you to go ahead and do it. Seriously, there's no one stopping you. No need to overthink it. :)

I love stories like this! Super cool. Way to go Mikaila!

Yes this! Marc Antony perfectly describes this situation.

If I remember correctly, the accommodations for drivers who had their licenses suspended due to drunk driving convictions was due to collective bargaining agreements between the workers and UPS. There was no such collective bargaining agreement that concerned pregnant workers, which is why UPS treated Young the way…

So after Gigi's thoughts on MAC's primer, does anyone have suggestions for pore covering primers? I've been considering Dr. Jart's Dis-A-Pore after one of the product diary posts, but I'd love any suggestions/advice.

In a previous apartment my brother lived in, one of the only items left by the former tenants was a fairly large portrait of JPII. Of course they kept it. (And left it for the next tenants.)

Yeah, the brackets this year are weird. Having half "good" things and half "bad" things doesn't really make sense.

Ah, thanks for the clarification.

So confused, if the movie came out in 1984, isn't it 31 years old?

Look at the guy. He is so surpised! Ha!

I think the The Art Institute and Shedd Aquarium have more interesting permanent collections, but the special exhibits at the Field Museum are generally good. It really depends on what you're interested in.
