That has never happened to me, but it definitely would bother me if it did!

I do find that contractors always want to talk to my SO as if he is in charge of our household money. Not only do we split things 50/50, but I am a contractor's daughter and know a whole lot more about the actual ins and outs of home maintenance/renovation than he does!! He always has to refer them back to me.

OP, reading all these made my day, by the way ... so I think we can add that to what made me smile!

I love finding sane people on the internet. I have found that civil discourse is largely dead, so these kind of people who can agree to disagree are a rare breed.

I finally made a doctor's appointment to address something I've been too scared to address for years. The weight is already lifting off my shoulders!

I can't agree with you more! I see this in those stories about kids forced to turn their shirts inside out by schools all the time, and it drives me nuts. You CAN make a statement and stand up for your beliefs while still respecting the boundaries of what's "appropriate" in society.

What's interesting to note, and actually sort of encouraging, though, is that despite the number of "pro-choice" people jumping, the poll found the number of people who support abortion remaining legal stayed steady.

My friend has feet like yours, and I am always jealous when we go to buy sneakers together. Hers are about half the price of mine!

I know you're not looking for a "you go girl," but you DESERVE one! Finishing college at any age is a huge accomplishment. But perhaps even bigger is overcoming a tough past to do so. You aren't "just" graduating from college, you are making good choices for yourself. That's a wonderful thing and MY congratulations to you are heartfelt and very much deserved.

What happened to some sort of running shoe? Or are we supposed to hit the gym in our high heels? That fab body doesn't come from nowhere y'all.
