As a greybie, I’m down for that, and can comment more to help bolster your idea. I’ve gotten ‘starred’ on Jez and Gawker and Giz in the past, but whenever there’s a platform shift I go back to hanging in the greys. I feel like as soon as I get ungreyed something will shift in the system and I’ll go back to being grey…

Seconding! I have two of these - amazing stuff.

I just discovered Laura Geller Baked Balance-n-Brighten powder foundation. My eldest put it on after I did, and the rough patches, acne, and uneven skin tones just faded away. I’m still in complete shock. Wipes off easily with a makeup remover wipe, and is so light you just feel like you’re wearing powder (because you…

Well, I’m sure there are plenty of reasons why he’s a virgin, but I never intimated that was the reason why he was socially awkward (and who knows - my kid might have deflowered him by now???). However, virginal status or not, Thanksgiving is going to be loud. Sigh.

Oftentimes, kids with PTSD and OCD will latch onto their studies as it’s the one thing that they can control. This was the case with my eldest - overachiever, 4.63 GPA at graduation. Everything else in her life was a mess, but she kicked that GPA’s ass. Continued peaceful vibes and ass-kicking mojo for her.

I’ve dealt with various versions of this with my eldest for the past 8 years. It’s very heartening to hear of her taking her studies so seriously and wanting to get ahead. Good on you both. <3

T-minus two months displaced from Hurricane Irma, one month in semi-permanent housing, Jr.TARDIS#1 has a raging case of the barfing flu, I’m trying to finish up my last dissertation chapter while balancing 4 PT jobs, Mr.TARDIS is still living at the house & trying to install the master closet among other things (which…

No.Keep going. Do not pass “Go”; do not collect $200.

Die mad about it.

I’ve had this trilogy in my house since before my daughters were born (read: over 25 years). I bought them in high school, my mom found them and threw them out, and then I bought them again in college. Suck it, Mom! LOL!

Ah, those were the days...

Same. So much hate, it’s borderline irrational. Grrrrrr.

“Dear Mom, I forgive you for pre-arranging my birth with a man who sounds like his balls have actually dropped.”

Aren’t Blue Points amazing? I lost my best guy one year ago this week, and he was 18 years old. I had my lazy eyeball out for another Blue Point, but wasn’t looking in earnest until I ran across Vinny on a rescue website. Drove three hours to pick him up, and it was love at first sight. Georgie and Antiope sound like…

Aww, look at you, feeling the need to interject for absolutely no reason. I responded with the perspective of over 20 years of parenting and gift-receiving, and was met with rude snarkiness - I suppose you missed that, tripping all over yourself to point the finger. Well done.

Which is unfortunate in some cases, and thankfully not true in all cases.

Awwwww... he/she looks like Mr.TARDIS’ Chocolate Point. My new guy (above) is our fifth Siamese boy. So weird, but so awesome! How gorgeous your kitty is.

Sweet! Thank you so much for the tips (and yes, the bag will definitely help!).

Woah! That is a bargain!
