What colour are your eyes? Maybe a navy or purple would be a better, less stark choice with your skin tone.

I’m not Asian, but this is my exact situation. I was shown how to do the cat eye by a makeup artist, but it takes sooo looong to get it straight and right, and I have at least a dozen different eyeliner products that all promise the easiest, straightest lines. None of them work with eyes like mine. I’m not a puppy…

Have you tried any natural remedies? And may I ask - do you usually eat a low-fat diet? It would help a lot if you added a fish oil capsule supplement or started using coconut oil in your diet and as a moisturizer - eczema is worsened by skin dryness from within, usually from a lack of natural fats. To help with the…

Not in the slightest. Some people, men and women both, take reaching the grey-hair retirement age milestone as ‘Golden ticket time! Now I can say whatever the fuck I want to whoever I want cause I’m old, baby.” I have the same philosophy with children over 7 and adults over 65 - you said it, you own it. I’m not…

Hey, don’t feel bad. Old ladies can be bitches. I’ve met a few. Mean girls grow up to be nasty middle age women who grow up to be miserable old ladies. They have to come from somewhere. And cheap. Christ, can people be cheap. Especially when it comes to getting rid of their own old crap.

Or unless you’re Sikh. I live in Vancouver and have a lot of Sikh friends. They get money for DAYS. One of my friends was showing me photos from her week-long (yes, week long! No shorter, or the families are considered stingy, rude, or, horror of horrors, too broke to put on a proper wedding). There were reasons every…

I’ll bet I know EXACTLY what they looked like - everybody’s mom had those butt-ugly dishes. And the squat mugs with the even uglier ‘flower’ pattern in mustard and brown. Please tell me you got the mugs, too.

And your degree is in?

This is more of a ‘preventing some guests from attending’ story. My now ex-husband’s first wife and us were trading weekend custody of his three kids. It happened that our wedding fell on ‘her’ weekend (which had never been an issue before - she was always happy to be free of the kids). She kicked up a fuss that we…

Was this guy distantly related to Rasputin, by any chance??

I have a cat name Monty who is a rescue. You can’t pick him up, he doesn’t cuddle, and you can only pet him if he comes to you, when you are sitting or lying down, and with one hand only, or he thinks you’re going to murder him - you can see the panic in his eyes if you make sudden movements or ‘break’ one of his…

My dad ate turkey skin out of a garbage can one Thanksgiving when my uncle (his BIL) threw it away while carving. Sacrilege to my dad.

Not so dumb, if he figured out how to open all those drawers, cabinets, and appliances.

My cat, Pebbles, eats all her own food, the food of the cat I feed in another room so that he at least gets something to eat before she bullies him away to eat whatever he couldn’t get down his gob, pukes it all back up because she ate too much too fast, and then goes back and eats whatever remnants she can find. If…

Actually, Marion, that MAKES you a feminist. Feminism isn’t about “one for the boys, one for the girls” - it’s about judging people on their merits without the bias of gender, or race, or age, or financial privilege. The ‘separation’ in feminism is created either by those who would add in separation to the definition,…

It’s my favourite time in Vancouver (Canada). Absolutely gorgeous blue sky sunshine, leaves turning, but the temp is only about 15 Celcius (60 F) - sweater weather! It’s the best - like Harry and Sally walking through Central Park in the fall weather.

The same way I haunt the crisps aisle when I’m over there. Mmmm .... prawn cocktail, smoky bacon .....

I think the concept is that they bring in American cereals (and maybe Australian cereals) that Brits either see commercials for online or have abroad but can’t get in the UK. These so-called ‘protesters’ see this ‘extravagance’ as gentrification.

They attacked these people because it was ‘safe’ ie: they’re white. They wouldn’t dare attack any of the many South Asian restaurant owners lining the streets charging more expensive prices for food, lining the streets trying to entice customers into their shops. It’s not just The Cereal Café responsible for…

I ate in the same area in June. The streets are lined with restaurants (mostly South Asian, with a few Nets and other chains). The prices are in the same range as The Cereal Café, if not a bit more expensive (and no extras, BTW. No papadum, no naan. You pay extra for everything). This ‘riot’ was BS and an excuse to…
