Good luck! I hope everything goes smoothly!

Internet hugs. He was absolutely beautiful.

I think if you’re already questioning it and worried about it before anyone actually said anything to you...it’s probably safer to go with another costume.

When I was around 8 or 9. Genetics...blah.

Oof, major internet kudos for getting through that. I cried at work once, too, in my mid-20s after a guy just straight-up yelled at me because his boss made him do something that I told the boss I would do myself. But I at least went into the bathroom to cry and didn’t cry in front (though I prob looked like it after…

I just got their garlic chicken plate for a late lunch/early dinner (linner), and it’s delicious. AND they sell a very small, but very eclectic and awesome selection of Vietnamese grocery items like pâte for banh mi, pandan paste and Alsa baking powder made in France (at very reasonable prices)!

I discovered that the convenience store in the lobby of my apartment building that I mostly ignore unless I have a sudden craving for a bottle of cold diet soda...sells cooked-to-order Vietnamese food.

Mine is basically a bunch of different lip balms and maybe one or two lipsticks (matte or sheer) to make me not look so dead in the face.

There’s a running joke amongst the general population of where I live that if someone has a “HE > I” bumper sticker, that car will inevitably cut off as many other cars as possibly in rush hour traffic.

Same same same. I also have a tendency to speak louder than I should at some moments because I’m so used to having to shout over people who choose to not acknowledge my existence. Must be because I was the youngest in my family (even in my extended family, for a long time)?

Try Oil of Olay or Neutrogena. Both have SPF day moisturizers, and both come in light versions that won’t clog your pores.

Ooh, one of my favorite topics. In the summer, I always make at least a couple of fridge pies using this basic recipe:

I also think it depends on where you are. In my neck of the woods, I do find actual designer stuff that was sold at far higher than the “compare at” prices on the tags at TJ Maxx and Ross. I even research in-store and after I get home. Sure, it’s last season or before, but I know to check for quality and cheap…

I kind of agree with you. If it’s worth the money to you, and if you have the money and like it enough to buy it, then it’s a deal to you. Just like haggling in certain countries: sure, you can cheat the seller out of a profit, but if the item you haggled down to whatever price was worth the price you paid for (at…

Yup, it’s not the workers not doing their job. It’s just the asshole customers being assholes. I swear, I don’t even want to know what their homes look like after having worked in customer service/retail...

There are certain items that are consistently not that great a bargain, especially with online or bigger retailers, and I’ve found it’s mostly in the food and kitchen department.

I dunno. In my neck of the woods, I actually do find stuff in TJ Maxx and Ross that I’ve researched online to be have been sold in the actual stores and online for far more than the “Compare at” price, albeit maybe one or two seasons ago. I guess it depends on whether or not you know what brands you’re buying and what…

Mmm...cow juice. Spoiled cow juice = cheese, which is one of the greatest things in the world, of course. :)

Awesome! I visited a construction site near the water once, and the project manager had a nautilus shell fossil that someone found while digging through the hard rock. I so wanted to ask him if I could have it. Heh.

Yes! I love eggs, and I would never go hungry.
