Annnnd THIS is why I've given up on contacts. As I'm both cheap and lazy, I'd keep using contacts longer than the 2 weeks I was supposed to (although rarely left them in overnight, as that killed my eyes the next morning). Now I just pop my glasses on in the morning and off at night and my eyes are nice and…

Here here for the glasses-only brigade!

I'm not in the US anymore and still use Zenni Optical. They do international shipping for an additional $15. I'm in the UK and even with my super high prescription (as in I now have to pay more for being so nearsighted) it's less than £50 per pair, which is much cheaper than any online places here.

As glasses can be a pain to pay for after you've shelled out lots of money for contacts, I've had good luck getting pretty cheap glasses online. Zenni Optical is my preferred company and I've been using them for about 8 years now. You have to see an optometrist to get your prescription and measure your pupil distance…

Jezebel should really include notices of changes and corrections, not just updates to the stories.

More accurate title:

He was around 57 years old.

Thank you for a positive roommate story! If you could, would you mind sharing the adorable pictures?

As someone with fibro, that really pisses me off. I worry about getting a job where my supervisors are not so understanding (my current p/t summer post is great, and I've only missed 2 days in the last 3 months).

I know there's lots of us here being arm chair psychologists, but it sounds like Jill was having an out-an-out manic episode (impulsiveness, hyper sexuality). It's not uncommon among creative types either to love being in the manic state, as they feel more productive and creative.

I think you're being super disrespectful and completely misunderstand that nature of the situation. Katzykat was completely upfront with both the university and her new roommate in the lead up. It was the roommate's selfishness and inability to see how her actions stressed out and harmed her OCD roommate, which…

Wow, your university has one BS disability services.

Borderline personality disorder makes a bit more sense ('You guys are great and I just want to be your friend!'/'You guys are evil so I am justified in poisoning you!').

The problem is that it's not entirely random. Looking at the picture, it appears to me that all the monkey shirts have the black child hanger. It would be much better (or at least appear much better) if each shirt wasn't limited to just one specific hanger image.

Using the term 'Oriental' strikes me as similar to using the term 'Negro.' It may have been the common polite(-ish) term 50 years ago, but it's not any longer. In my mind, it's the elderly, out-of-date prejudiced racists (casual or not) who stick to such terminology.

I think that's an interesting historical perspective and gives a personal understanding to the history of your community. By this I mean that it's not just the abstract knowledge that Jews who lived in the area had been taken away by the Nazis, but that you know and lived in specific houses where that happened. Your…

I actually thinks that adds historical value to your co-op. While it's not happy history, I think it's a good thing to acknowledge and very interesting, from an educational and history buff perspective.

I always ordered my own entree, but I would get up and grab a styrofoam takeaway container to increase the efficacy of my leftovers. But I tipped reasonably well! (I have to include the qualifier of 'reasonably' because I can't remember if I did over 20% or not.) I symbolically apologize to you for that.

Actually, that always made sense to me and I was actually a little sad when they split. I love Billy Joel, partially because the first movie I ever saw in a theater was 'Oliver and Company.' He's Dodger, the epitome of cool. Of course he'd get gorgeous models.

Cocaine is a hell of a drug.
