The expiration dates are just there so you don’t sue the cosmetic company if you end up getting an eye infection. “I didn’t know you can’t use 10 year old mascara!” So every blog/magazine prints an article at least once a year about when to throw what away.

Except Nick didn’t make a statement. “Reportedly" means a friend of a friend overheard something, maybe.

The day I bought stretchy pants at Chico’s was the day I died a little inside. And yes, I am a white middle aged woman.

I’m Old School. I call my children’s teachers Mr. and Mrs. while addressing them, and talking about them. Who am I to call the French teacher Susan? I even call my Aunts and Uncles Aunt and Uncle, while my cousins are calling my parents by their first namees (we’re all over 50, it’s fine).

That’s fine. To each his own. You just kept repeating the same question, and it seemed to me that you hadn’t read my answer.

If you read my previous reply, you’d see that I don’t hold the international community to not releasing pop culture on 9/11 (you did read it, right?) I said that it was tone deaf of an AMERICAN artist to do so, especially if they are a one hit wonder like Karmin. Maybe that’s why they chose to do so, to get publicity.…

The world hasn’t stopped turning as in people go to work, school, live their daily lives. I just can’t imagine saying “yes, 9/11 is the PERFECT DAY to release my art and everyone will love it!”

Oh, I’m sorry, does Karmin have an international fan base that was waiting on pins and needles for their latest single?

My 13 year old daughter has a friend who looks 18, easy. She is always telling my daughter about the disgusting things men say to her.

Eh, I just can’t think that September 11th is a good day to release ANYTHING. Like, in a marketing meeting, “what date should we drop the video?” “September 11th?” “Sure, why not?” “Um.... how about the 12th?”

The post is such an outrageous thing to read, in all sincerity. So full of herself and so proud of her idea! And all the comments are positive as well (the negatives must have been removed for posterity). Awful.

My cousin’s daughter is a freshman in college, just pledged, and her wall if full of ‘welcome baby xx!’ posts. When did it become a ‘thing’ to call pledges babies (I graduated in 1987, so I am OLD). I’m not one to scream ‘infantilization’, but come on...

Who cares about the pink? I’m more concerned with the strappy bikini top over the long nightshirt with sweatpants.

A friend once told me she kept a Sprite bottle with wine in it in her purse because sometimes she is in pain from her TMJ. I watched her son grab for it and she told him “there’s not sprite in there”. I told her I was concerned because of the wine + plastic bottle+ heat in the car (easier than saying ‘WTF’), but my…

She has a craft line at Michael’s, I read about it exactly once...

Jennifer Garner has a craft line at Michaels, I think. There’s been no publicity, so either she’s not really into it, or her agent isn’t making her do pr because of the divorce.

I totally forgot that Jindal is running for President.

I’ll never forget one of my best friends, an upper middle class white girl (as I am) recounting how she used that phrase as a ‘sassy’ comeback/flirting move. I was appalled and told her so. I don’t even know where she would have heard that line on the North Shore of Chicago in 1989.

Wasn’t there a character in The Outsiders named Cherry? Diane Lane played her in the movie, if I’m remembering correctly

I think that was a joke... both because Taylor has so many best friends, and the fact they because they are no longer enemies must mean they are best friends.
