Vicks VapoRub, or get out!

Vicks VapoRub, or get out!

If she decided on her own, then that’s 100% her prerogative. No harm, no foul. I was basing my argument off you stating that management “politely asked her if she could find work elsewhere.” Her leaving on her own is no issue. Her being asked to leave is. But if she sees no issue, then so be it.

She was literally told that because of the way she looks, she’s not a good fit. Never mind her actual skill at her job. She can’t work there because “you’re too hot for the clientele.” That is 100% gender discrimination. Think for a moment, if a male nurse and she were both equally good at doing their jobs, would he…

That’s still gender harassment and discrimination. You definitely don’t have to be fired for a harassment or discrimination case. 

I agree that influencers are scourge, but I would disagree that prior to the advent of Facebook, people didn’t “post” about their parties or dinners, etc. Photo albums and slide projectors presentations about trips and parties existing long before Facebook. Sure, it wasn’t digital and sure, we didn’t take 15 pictures…

My brain just read it as a typo that was supposed to be “dungeon” and even though I didn’t really understand the phrase, I kept going with it not knowing that “dudgeon” is actually a real word. 

I called them padcicles. I sprayed some “super” pads with witch hazel, popped them in the freezer, and used as needed. Fortunately, I actually had a decent go of it. I wasn’t in too much pain and recovered pretty quickly. So I’d prepared more padcicles than I actually needed. 

I put those mirrors up before the little one was even born! My plan is just to put my bag in the backseat with the baby. I can’t go to work or go on about my day without my bag, so I have to go back there to get the bag and the baby.

I’m changing daycares soon and in doing so, completely changing my daycare drop off routine. Not just in where I’m driving, but in how I handle the drop off. Not to mention, the daycare we’re leaving has an app-based sign-in that sends a notification to the child’s guardians when the child is signed in or out, so…

Another option is taking off one shoe and putting it in the backseat with the child. Or if you carry a purse of bag of some sort, put that in the backseat with the kid. You’re not going to go off with your day with only one shoe on, so you’d be forced to remember as soon as you get out of the car.

Doesn’t look like anything to me.

That would have stayed the same and they shouldn’t have added in Madeline’s adultery. All other changes from the book were fine. Those were not okay.

The last line was my favorite line.

I posted further down, but what about Mom + first name? It’s not as restauranty as Mother + first name, but since the first name is added, it’s not quite the same as just saying Mom, which is reserved for only one person.

I go with “Mom + (First name)”. I’m like you that I can’t call anyone but my mom “Mom,” but somehow adding the first name after “Mom” makes it okay for me.

OMG!! I missed that on the first read. They were just all the way effing up. How do you accidentally implant someone with two other someone’s embryos???

I don’t know if I’m an old, or a young, or somewhere in between (I think somewhere in between) but I definitely started humming the theme song!

...and sometimes he sets you up for his own shits and giggles.

I grew up in the South and saw the flag constantly and almost got jaded by seeing it. Then I moved to California, and now I’m always shocked when I see it out here. What “heritage” are you hiding behind out here? Do you realize California was not part of the confederacy? Did your ancestors even know about the…
