PREACH! One time I was walking my dog and this older guy was sitting on a bench while his two shihtzus ran around, and when one of them came running up to us and my dog starting barking and trying to lunge at it, the guy just waved and yelled "oh, she's real friendly!" I said "yeah, well he's not!" He didn't even get…

I have sort of a silly question: How do you tell your parents about a new tattoo, when you know they won't be happy about it?

Since it's confession time: I worked at a Plato's Closet back in 2007ish and ended up getting a pair of Juicy track pants for free. They were hot pink terry cloth, nothing written on them, and about 5 inches too long for me... And they still reside in my dresser as the pajama pants for when I'm out of other…

It definitely seems like it... Especially since he added that people hate on them because they're in an interracial relationship (which, I think the hate comes from the obvious fame whoring, not the racial aspect). But then he talks about swimming against the backlash, so maybe he's just confusing metaphors.

Her Myspace blogs?! Please enlighten me, I'm genuinely curious about this.

Me too. I liked it better than Kim's dress to be honest...

Thank you so much for your advice! Especially that last line, I'll definitely remember that. :)

I definitely don't think your reaction was out of line. It sounds like instead of your sisters discussing with you what each person should contribute to your mom's birthday, they took it upon themselves to use your money to cover what they didn't want to/couldn't afford to spend. It's hard to deal with people who have…

Years ago I lived in an apartment where the woman in the building across from me had wind chimes covering the entire top of her balcony. Wall to wall wind chimes. So many wind chimes. They made my life hell. An ex boyfriend's well meaning mom gave me a wind chime once and I threw it in my closet and told her someone…

I know you specified you were looking on Craigslist, but when I was searching for a duplex or something similar, a friend recommended the Trulia app and it was awesome! It shows a map view and you can narrow your search by number of rooms, type of property, etc. and it has listings and contact info in a similar setup…

Any advice for a first time bridesmaid? My brother is getting married next Saturday, and I'm super excited and love his fiancé like she's family already. Her sister is her maid of honor, but apparently they got into a fight at her bachelorette party and she really hasn't been supportive or helpful throughout the whole…

I know you asked for drugstore recs, but if you have an Ulta nearby I highly recommend Mario Badescu. I used the aloe moisturizer with SPF 15, and just ran out and switched to the complex moisturizer with vitamin E SPF 20. They have several other options with SPF. The bottles are small, but my first one lasted me 9…

In a bulldozer.

I've been tattooed 8 times, and had one cover up done, and I'd say the most important thing you can do is communicate clearly with your artist and make sure he knows exactly what you want, and don't be afraid to say no. My BFF and I got matching tattoos years ago (just a sentence from our favorite song) and when the…

One of the coolest gifts I got for my graduation was actually a set of monogrammed towels from an older cousin! But my favorite was from an older family friend - she gave me a book that was basically a how to guide for being an adult. It had basic recipes, laundry tips, easy fixes for when household stuff breaks down,…

Your dad is my hero.

I second your radio idea. I moved to a new place recently and have been slightly paranoid about my dog barking when I'm gone, because when I'm home he can be sound asleep and hear a loud noise outside and immediately jump up and start barking. I'm in a townhome and only share a wall with one neighbor, and I'd hope…

That was actually the reason I ended up adopting my dog! I spent a lot of time researching on Petfinder and visiting dogs in the shelter, and most of them went nuts over me when I took them out of their kennels for one on one time. When I first met my little guy, he was more concerned with what was going on outside…

I am in desperate need of advice, or at least support.

I've been on it for a couple weeks now, and have had a lot of matches... But I've only chatted with about 4 guys that I'd actually be interested in meeting, and the conversations seem to just fizzle out before getting to the "asking out" point. Sigh.
