Well sure, coffee can mean “want to know you as a friend, or possibly something more”. Point is, it’s a casual respectful offer that doesn’t involve unwanted grabbing. Ultimately there’s no other way to definitively know someone’s interest without asking them directly, and social settings generally provide neutral…

I honestly wonder if they really did have another ending in mind, but got thrown off by the writer's strike. 

Lost was a slow dive for me, so the end was less brutal. I tried a rewatch and lost interest in the same spot - when the island gets jerked around in time and the redhead gets nosebleeds. 

My SIL and her mother are this way. Their Xmases are obscene, it’s one thing to give more because you finally can. Quite another when you’re doing it to fill a void from your youth. 

I can only imagine Mt Vernon would never have been completed if Trump undertook the build. But the incomplete version would be chockfull of gold leaf!

I have a very good friend who repeatedly falls prey to these conspiracy theories. Over the years, I’ve noticed that a new obsession takes hold whenever she’s lost, or is losing control of some aspect of her life.

I was raised by a mom like you and she’s awesome! I’m really grateful that she always maintained a life outside our home, and my dad realized he was one half of a team versus an occasional baby sitter. They set an example for me, which meant I avoided having kids with someone who would have been a terrible parent. 

I have a low drama fb account. "Unfollow" is the key. There are a few friends from both sides of the political aisle who I just can't listen to on a daily basis, but who I otherwise want to keep in touch with. At first I welcomed the back and forth, I used to love political debate. I just can't go there anymore, even…

Cute! Thanks for the link!

I remember one my mom’s limited sewing projects was making kiddo versions of those for me, but I was a bit too tomboyish to appreciate them. I wore the hell out of them when they came back big time in the early/mid 90s.

That is cute as hell! One of my local vintage stores has reproduction sundresses and swim wear with narwhal, lobster, flamingo prints - but at break (my) bank prices. I seriously need to set up my sewing machine! 

“On another note, my friend also asked how is he to know if it’s okay to hit on someone without asking if he can hit on them first, it’s a tricky slope to navigate, and I honestly didn’t have a good answer for him.”

Same in my city, the burbanites trend toward athlesuire.

Part of me wonders if it isn't some desire to find out that there's a decent, empathetic human underneath. I think most of us want to believe that people really aren't terrible, even if what they consistently do and say is terrible. But my guess is that this documentary reveals that Bannon is as he seems. Which is…

Yeah that is straight up Nazi ideology.

I suppose I also wonder at what mental gymnastics allow people to admire a system whose efficiency is the result of fear and racially driven propaganda. Unlike math, there is a deep moral aspect that can't be reconciled with logic. 

I don't know what mental gymnastics allow him to openly admire the work of the Nazi party and NOT realize he is a racist. 

Someone in my office wanted to start making khakis and blue polos a part of our daily wear. I am very much not a polo and khaki person. Basically I avoid wearing colors that directly match my flesh, so khakis have never been in my wardrobe. My only contribution to that office convo: “I will not be joining you in that…

Okay my coworkers demanded to know why I was giggling uncontrollably and now we're all giggling uncontrollably!
