Sounds like you and I have similar body types! I'm a 2 on top and a 6 on bottom. You may not love my recommendation, but it has worked well for me. Buy a well-made (and potentially expensive) floor length gown, have it tailored to your body, and wear it to multiple occasions, therefore getting your money's worth. One…

Hi Jezzies! Long-time SNS reader, first time commenter. Mr. Tuxedo and I recently moved from NYC to the Midwest. Before the move, we knew absolutely no one in our new location. As we are not students and do not have kids, I'm having trouble coming up with good ways to meet people / make friends outside of work. Life…

All I took away from this Tweet Beat is that EVEN COURTNEY STODDEN CAN DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN YOUR AND YOU'RE.

I mean, at least throwing the lunches in the trash saved the system some money... *facepalm*

Yeah! The issue wasn't that I had to beg my parents to buy me a black doll, the issue was that I had to beg my parents to buy me a doll, in general. (They saw American Girls, especially, as a huge waste of money.) But I do think, deep down, my mom was more likely to buy me Addy because she was glad I was interested in…

Whereas - growing up with blonde hair, pale skin, green eyes - my favorite doll was Addy, the African-American Girl doll I begged my parents to buy for me. All I wanted was something I saw to be unique - plus I loved her books. (The fact that a doll with dark skin was something I deemed unique is problematic, I…

My mom did the exact same thing. Stated very clearly and without judgement - this is the way it is. Nothing is normal; nothing is abnormal.

Do it! I'll play along. :)

I wish I could put this ringing endorsement on my resume. For reals.

Right? This is what it's like being in my head all the time! :)

Thanks! I've always said my greatest contribution to the zeitgeist would be ideas for sequels. ;)

Aw, you flatter me! I really needed this after my work day.

Unless the sequel takes place within a parody version of The Sing Off with Nick Lachey playing himself, this is a wasted opportunity for greatness.

It is. Usually it is set to music and the song changes every minute.

Thanks for your input and well-rounded response!

Thank you for this. I needed a good giggle.

Oh man. I am so glad that you responded because I had no idea that you had to pay for these classes! That's nonsense to have something mandatory like a class that you need to pay for. I don't like that one bit.

It really is terrible. I've even seen adult friends of mine become really torn up throughout the process of their parents' divorces, so I can't even fathom what they would have experienced as children.

Another really good point. Just because people show up doesn't mean they will learn. But I guess the hope is that some people might? The whole thing is messy, but I guess it's the optimist in me that thinks there may be some children who have benefitted from these classes.

This is a really great point. Maybe it should be required before you can even begin the legal process of divorce?
