So true. It's why it's so hard for me to boycott certain things, because I know that really good people will be affected. People who had nothing to do with the issue at hand.

I found the perfect pair of (slightly worn) Dior sandals at a consignment shop. I bought them and saved them to wear to a Mardi Gras party. I was conflicted until I realized the chance of Galliano personally having designed them was slim, and it's not like I have oodles of cash flowing out of my pockets to replace…

I travel at least twice a month, and the announcement is "those who need additional assistance, including parents with small children, may board first". They're called before first class/premium is called.

I am so sharing that with my Alabamian husband, who indeed enjoys going South.

Ha. I introduced them to my mom last night (she has her first iPhone, aw) and she thinks she'll be in trouble. We'll all be unemployed together....

this happens on airplanes too. I've nearly had earrings ripped out of my ears when I've sat in aisle seats by assholes who don't realize there's a huge fucking bag attached to their back. jerks.

Angry Birds. Zombie Farm. Fruit Ninja. Sushi Boy. Cut the Rope (OMGZ cutes.) I haven't gamed this much since I was 15 and it's so darn fun.

Well, because the jury isn't on trial, and voir dire seems to have worked for the past couple hundred years....

I'm lucky if I'm eating off of real dishes and not over the sink.

I totally get that for a plaintiff or a defendent, but the jury?

They do that here, too. "But he never got into trouble..." riiiight.

and that is a perfect labrador behavior specimen. Also, "I THINK I AM OMGZ A LITTLE DOG BUT OMGZ I WEIGH 85 POUNDS AND OMGZ I WANT TO SIT IN YOUR LAP. OMGZ." I miss my lab.

So true. If we run, bad. If we don't, bad. If we give up wallet/phone, bad. If we don't, bad. Can't win for losing (as grandma would say).

I freakin' love it, warts and all.

Here's hoping. :/

I've been robbed— in that neighborhood. My first instinct was to run, not give up my wallet. Running didn't work so well. I was being told to pull my pants down by gunpoint until someone saw the whole thing happen. So perhaps I'm a bit sensitive.

agreed. by not giving up her wallet, the victim totally asked to get shot. Way to blame the victim.

This happened down the street from where I live; I saw the police tape and ambulance as I was coming home from dinner. Lt. John's account is correct: there are a bunch of kids who live with their grandmother who rob people. Another kid (who is in custody but related to these kids) sucker-punched a friend of mine…

couldn't she just date a dude... her age? I'm 30 and my interest in HS boys in HS was nearly zero, much less at 30. Ick.

Cincinnati represent! I know one of the teachers there who basically said no one would tell them what was going on but administration said it was going to make national news. Score. Except not. I guess she did though. Yuck.
