Girls wearing yoga pants and leggings isn't the problem here and there is nothing inappropriate about either unless the they're see through. It is ridiculous that women need to dress a certain way because men can't handle their shit. Forcing women/girls to make allowances contributes to our rape culture where it is on the woman to not dress a certain way if she doesn't want to get raped, not on the men to keep their dicks in their pants.

I never needed one. In high school I managed to get into bars just fine with my adorable smile and by the time college rolled around I was too cheap for bars

Where I went to high school the honors kids were on a 5.0 GPA scale, so a 4.5 meant you got the same grades as someone with a 3.5, but you took honors classes. Also, her SAT scores don't seem that great either. 2120/2400 percentage wise would be like getting a 1400 out of the 1600 that was the max when I was in high school. No one thought a 1400 was good enough to secure you a spot in an Ivy back then, so why on earth would a 2120 be good enough now. Is it a great score, sure, but it's not Ivy material.
She's an obnoxious entitled little shit that doesn't get that even if you take away everyone's extracurricular, she's just doesn't have the grades/scores to compete for an Ivy league spot.

I saw a mountain lion in Yosemite. It was what should have been uncomfortably close, but I was all oohh can I get a little closer to get a better look. Big cuddly animals are irresistable

I would have made him kill it or at least drive it miles away. I love just about all the animals, but spiders, especially the poisonous ones are where I draw the line
Sooooo you should prob stop reading this post right here, muddled.
Ok, are we alone? Good. The rest of this post is weapons-grade TMI, because I spent my whole weekend laid up with only the worst hemorrhoids EVAR. I think one is thrombosed. It's so awful that Saturday morning I was standing in the shower, coughing my cough I've had for a MONTH, and just crying my eyes out.
The good news in all this is that my ILs arrived Saturday and so I actually WAS able to stay off my feet all weekend. I'm doing a bit better today but being back in my work chair all day is going to be hell, I can already tell. Someone please save me from my butt!
Awww Fuss, I'm sorry. My H get them (and has had them surgically removed) and they are no fun at all

I pretty much always get form letters that don't match what I said and then when I write again to let them know that they need to do a better job with reading comprehension I don't get a response.

Your going to be better off in the long run to fix it properly, but if you don't knit that may be difficult. Here are some instructions on how to repair knits knitty.com/ISSUEspring06/FEATrepairs101.html. Most yarn shops also have/know someone you can pay to do repairs.
Really? Like what? I have an insane number of apps, including numbers, pages, and a ton of high memory games.
The only apps I run across that don't work on the ipad1 are the ones that require a camera.
Pretty much all of my apps and my browsers crash all.the.time. Google tells me its because of the memory. I didn't used to have a problem, but as I've added new ones or updated apps they've started crashing.
I know there are some apps that just won't run on the older versions of software (ipad 1 doesn't support the newest ones), but there aren't a ton of them and I've never had an issue with crashing apps on my ipad1

Insurance companies are sucking wind at following the Obamacare regulations with regards to preventative care ie we paid $80 for flu shots that had to be reimbursed and a lot of people are being charged for the pill when they go to pick it up only to call their insurance company to complain and the insurance company says send your receipts we should be reimbursing.
So, just because that's what's showing up in the systems doesn't necessarily mean that's what you should be getting quoted. Have you talked to BCBS directly and asked them specifically why this isn't covered under ACA?
I actually got a decent birchbox this time, I was going to cancel but I think I will stick with them for another month.
This was me. I was about to cancel birchbox because my last two have been pretty meh and then I got a pretty great box this month. I feel like that's what birchbox always does to me. Just when I'm ready to cancel they send me a great box and string me along. I also feel like with the points I'm really only paying $5 for that sub most months and getting $5 in points that I will use, so it's the least painful one to keep around.
I just cancelled glossybox and considered myglam to replace it, but instead went for starlook

How long does your H have to work there to get his loans forgiven? For me, it would all depend on the number of years I would be stuck in Indy because I would not do well there long term, but could move there for a bit if that means student loans would be forgiven.

Gretchen winning was terrible and I threatened to boycott. That turned into only boycotting the first episode of the following season. Haha
I really am not into this season with the teams, but I always enjoy challenges with weird materials. I loved the winning dress. #2 I really didn't like. The panels were cool, but it did nothing for me. #3 I loved the bottom, but the top was meh #4 is a part of the 80's I'd be ok with bringing back and #5 is a classic prom dress. No, it's nothing special, but it's classic
Also, what was up with everyone insisting no one wants long dresses at prom. Maybe it's because my HS has a semi formal Freshman/Sophomore Years and then Jr and Sr proms, but people were fierce about wearing the appropriate length dress. Semi's you got shit if you wore a long dress, but people would still do it. Prom, everyone wore long dresses end of story. I've seen enough pictures from proms post my graduation year that I'm pretty sure this is still the case.

Since Petey likes his books, I would look into some anti-oppression books and some books that talk about privilege. Have him start thinking about those things. I think anything you find will also draw in race as well. I don't want this to come out wrong, but as a young black man he probably does have a better chance of not being an asshole when he grows up because while in some ways he has the ability to be the oppressor and exercise his privileged, it's also likely that he has and will experience the opposite end of things because of his race. I have zero recommendations for books for an 11 year old, but I can ask around.
I still don't quite understand how you can diagnose this at such a young age when there are virtually no other mental illnesses that you can diagnose so young.
Maybe because it's not a mental illness that requires diagnosis

I was always too cheap to consider bars unless it was absolutely necessary and I rarely drank throughout most of college. If I had to guess, it's probably somewhere around 10k.

I would want to know. G hid money problems back when we were finishing up college and had he told me I would have been able to help before he dug himself a hole. I was far more pissed of later when I was helping him dig out of the hole.

We have some really great used bookstores around here that tend to have 90% of what I want. I also use the library for the rest. It's pretty rare that I buy/order new books.
Yeah. So much so that at this point, I prefer not to get updates since Mr. Kuus makes such fun of me over them. Almost all the updates I've gotten have had the guy turn out to be gay, except the crazy one who wanted to get together and see where it went, and the predatory rapey one.
I have dated more than one guy who has later come out as gay. You're not alone
