I got one that people might not like. I think that if you work in a professional corporate office, you should wear make-up to work. I think it's unprofessional not to look put together. Also, even if your office does have casual days, I don't think you should ever wear a sports or logo t-shirt to work. It is not professional in my opinion.

I never wear make up and I think I looked put together most days I worked. I spent many years as a professional and had nice hair and clothes. I don't think make up would have made me look better.

Stupid autocorrect, radiation, lol.
But what I mean to say is she didn't have a guarantee it'd get worse or spread to those lymph nodes, but why take the chance? I think it's easy to criticize celebrities, forgetting they are people with fears and lives. She has children, and just because she has the means to have someone else take care of them, it's not the same. Saying she's not a role model it overreacted is absurd to me. She's a human being. She potentially saved her own life.

You would hate me. I'm literally handling the public every day. I dress professionally but never wear makeup. Ever.
I always wear mascara, but that's only because my lashes are light blond. When they're dyed, I don't wear any makeup, and I don't think I look like a scrub in a professional setting. I think proper attire and hair is much more important than makeup.
Team 81 here too! I'd say my favorite movie of the 80's was Breakfest Club, still love it! I was also a great aunt at 27. That means I was a great aunt before I was even a mom, crazy!
I hate fake nails and judge cheap weddings. Not nicely done ones, but ones that are thrown together with crap paper bells from Michael's and don't have booze. If I'm dropping a grand on travel, lodging, and gift, you'd better have a drink waiting for me.
I love 80s movies, especially St. Elmo's Fire because I saw it for the first time when I was a recent college grad who'd just moved to DC away from my friends and family, and it struck a chord.
Then you'd probably judge me. We had an inexpensive, fairly DIY wedding. We had a catered reception and professional photographer, but everything else was done ourselves, down to my mom making my dress. We also didn't serve alcohol because we don't drink, most of our family members don't drink, and it would have offended some people to have it. We were in grad school and didn't have ten grand to toss on a single day, but it was still a lovely day. You go to a wedding to celebrate with people you love, not to get free booze.

I think it is selfish to not take care of what is happening to your body. My grandma has known about a mass on her kidney for over 2 years now and is waiting to do anything. Waiting for it to get bigger or cause problems because she doesn't want to do the surgery.
Great idea, wait till it hurts and harms your body or wait til it spreads.
It is selfish and stupid and I am fairly sure she is waiting to continue getting sympathy.
Also, she survived breast cancer in the 80s. The doctors wanted to do a mastectomy, but she refused and had a lumpectomy instead., she got lucky and that is now common procedure for the cancer type she had, but I still think it was stupid and too risky. Then again, she doesn't want the responsibility for anything our anyone and gave up my mom to the courts when she was little, so it is right on course for her. She didn't want to stick around, but since she is stuck here she might as well complain.
I also had a cheap wedding with lots of DIY. But we "splurged" on good food and alcohol. Night weddings without alcohol make me sad haha. I lied even day weddings do but I love alcohol, not to get drunk but I love the taste.

This is kind of how mine was. My parents had recently divorced and were having major financial issues and had next to no money. We pushed the date back twice and eventually said to hell with it and did a cheap wedding. I wish certain things were a little different, but I was just happy to finally get married (even though it didn't work out.)

I admit, sometimes I wish I could have had a fancy all-out wedding, but it was still fun and my friends who do drink still seemed to be having fun, even though there wasn't alcohol.

My mom is in a similar situation. She found out about 5 years ago that she had a mass in her uterus that needed to be removed. The doctor said she would have to be off her feet for 8 weeks. She works for herself, so not working wasn't an option. He said in about 4-5 years it could become a serious problem and be cancerous. That was 5 years ago. She has no insurance right now, but my grandmother has offered to get it for her. She is also engaged to a guy (a veteran) who could put her on his insurance. I don't know what the hold up is, but the thought of losing my mom scares the shit out of me.

I don't necessarily agree with this. At least for me, I have a tumor in my ear that has to be removed. Its not a cancerous tumor though. Its slow growing and not doing any huge damage besides affecting my hearing. While I care that is happening, and know that its slow growing, but still growing, I just don't have TIME to be out for 6 weeks. I have 3 kids and a full time job. I'm putting off surgery because I don't know how my family is going to function with me being essentially useless for close to 6 weeks, much less not working for that long.
So, I would think its more selfish of me right now to just get it taken care of and let my family deal with the consequences instead of waiting until a good time to have it done. Just because people don't get it taken care of right away, doesn't mean they don't care.

Hmm, I've never been to a wedding where the couple didn't drink (which is strange because my family is adamantly anti-alcohol, but the younger generation has ignored them). I wouldn't expect alcohol then. I'm thinking of one awful wedding where there was a keg in the driveway for the wedding party only, so the couple was trashed while the rest of us stood around twiddling our thumbs and bitching.
I agree with you that a wedding should be about celebrating with the ones you love, but you should also make your guests feel welcome and wanted. Some of the most fun weddings I've been to have been inexpensive, but they weren't cheaply done. I get judgey when I arrive at an affair that doesn't have enough seating for guests, doesn't have anything - even the salad - that's meat-free when they know vegetarian guests are coming, and doesn't have any little touches to show they cared. We went to an awesome wedding of underpaid teachers who stacked their favorite books as centerpieces - free, adorable, and a good conversation point for guests. They got their alcohol for free from a local distillery that wanted exposure, and they mixed drinks ahead of time with herbs they'd grown themselves, and served them pre-poured in mason jars, which eliminated the need for a bartender. All really personal, fun, and inexpensive.

Some of you would have hated my wedding. It was basically a BBQ at a camp ground and we didn't provide alcohol. However, everyone that wanted to drink brought their own.
I've never been to a wedding with no alcohol but I would be outraged!!
Even if you knew most of the people attending weren't drinkers? Why do weddings have to involve alcohol?
Well, I had alcohol at my daughter's 1st birthday party that started at noon sooo obviously we are coming from different points of view. IMO a wedding is a party/celebration and a party should have alcohol. Even if the bride/groom don't drink there are many people that do and I think it's nice to have it as an option for people who want it.

Oh, and I don't wear make up, ever. Luckily, I've almost always worked in kitchens, where make up is kind of frowned upon, but I plan to try for an office job when Zoe goes to school and have no intention of wearing make up. I'd look silly, since I don't know how to put it on.

Yeah, I don't understand adult parties without alcohol because I don't think I've ever been to one. Unless the person hosting it is a recovering alcoholic, then I'd just bring my own

I guess it is different points of view. I just don't see alcohol as necessary for a good celebration. We still treated our guests well. The food was good, the music was good and we got to spend time with our friends and family. We just didn't do it with booze.
