@48crash: Me too!
A photo of your product that looks like a pile of maggots? Guaranteed Ebay gold.
@jspen33: A group of about 5 of my guy friends in college sang it to me at the bowling alley karaoke night. In the middle of the song, they began to argue about whether I had brown eyes or not.
I do not. They are very light blue. And the one of them that I was dating at the time had been on Team Brown.

@lolita7b3: That's how I read it too, but it is still insidious: "Get a partner who will shoulder the load at home and you can be one of the few women who manage to buck the broad societal pay gap!" Reading between the lines is not hard there: he still thinks most women do not deserve equal pay.
@assassin_cat: Exactly!
Regarding "what to say when you hate it:" This problem is infinitely compounded when your stylist is also your sister and you can't hide your disappointment in the cut. Not that this happened to me this week or anything.
PS I'm getting used to it.

@audioblitz13: I got that too! Also, many iterations of "you would be so pretty if you would smile more!"
@pastanaut: Thanks for the support! The worst part is that my sister (who is a fantastic stylist, by the way) gave me the cut, and I made her feel awful with my sad display. I gave her free rein to do what she wanted, but when she described the idea and I approved it, I somehow thought it would be about 5 inches longer. The second-worst part is that I'm a teacher and school starts in a week and I feel like a 5th grader who cut her own bangs.
Can you tell I'm still having a hard time letting this go?

I just had a haircut last night, and now it looks exactly like the pink bob, except brown with gray streaks. And this was not at all what I wanted, so I bawled. I feel stupid for worrying so much about my hair, but as of today I am still in a serious funk.
I heard this today, and was utterly unsurprised when this came out of Cathie Black's mouth, as she spent the entire interview trying to be "edgy" while pushing all of her company's products aggressively. I don't think she'll be asked back on the Diane Rehm show.
And, Oh, how I wished Diane had been there to give her a polite, gracious, and scathing reply. (Diane is on vacation)

@MaryEstherThode: I know! I'm only 32 and I'm totally an "old" already, technologically. I use FB, but not the way a lot of people do. I don't document my life, I just exchange pleasantries with old friends and family.
As someone who got married before the day of Facebook and etc. my perspective might not be worth anything, but here it is:
I always deleted emails from ex boyfriends and got rid of sentimental things and letters they gave me after a breakup. I still had all of the memories, so I don't feel like this was avoidance or erasing that time from my life. Our hard drives aren't our brains, right? We can learn lessons without keeping the physical (or digital) reminders of a relationship.

@lemon_head16: Same thing happened to me! Someone had given us a gift card, and we thought we should use it, but when they told us the wait time, we laughed and got the hell out. Card's still in our drawer.
@Norton: Maybe you are right - and add in that they want something familiar. But word to the hole-in-the-wall!

So, I kinda "get" waiting a long time for food at a really special place, but why in god's name do people wait an hour or more at the Olive Garden or Outback Steakhouse? Because people do, every Friday night. And I demand an explanation!
I've been a terrible mother.
@paperispatient: I love their jeans. Until I wash them. Then I find that the right leg is shorter than the left and the butt has bunched up around the seam. After the second wash, the crotch falls out.
@KLondike5: A Kroger-affiliated store, perhaps? Mine has huge yellow tags on lots of things, with the price in huge font. If you look closely, the tag also says "Everyday low price."
Not falling for it.

@sybann: Homemade marmalade is the stuff of dreams. I'd go to Julia's house for dinner any day.
@Admiral Babyruthless: At least the girls scouts were THERE. Last selling season I kept getting pestered by moms outside my grocery store, and there were no scout-aged girls to be found. I didn't buy any, either.
@Derek Jeter's Taco Hole: Only after I breastfed for 14 months. Seriously! They got better somehow. I think I'm a freak of nature.
