This is pretty off topic but it always gives me pause when someone mentions baptism. I went to Catholic high school but am not and was not raised Catholic. One of my teachers had a son who refused to baptize his new baby so she performed a “lay baptism” on the baby. This infuriated me, even at 15, and I gave her hell… Read more

Geez, what the fuck does that even mean?! Read more

I'm in Boston! They are expanding though, it's called MiniLuxe. Read more

I also made beef stew and I think it’s the best one I’ve ever tasted. I don’t brown the meat, I used to but I think the meat is more tender if you don’t. Read more

Regular Asian salon type places? Or the fancier ones? Even the frou-frou place I go is $25 for just a regular manicure, $45 for gel and $69 for mani/pedi. Read more

“[The Times] pulled from June 2014 and they said that the advertisement said a starting wage of $40, but actually this was listing the price of manicures.” Read more

I believe these are the same folks who were selling from our overabundance of snow last year. Read more

I’m not sure if this is the right place to put this but I’ve noticed for the last two days I can’t see any replies or make a reply on any of The Slot posts from my iPhone (using Chrome). Anyone else having this issue? Read more

I grew up outside of Detroit and it’s crazy to look at those pictures, they are nothing like the ones above. Tons of people working, laughing, dancing/partying going to the salon, etc. You’d likely be able to take more depressing pictures now. Read more

The kid photos are amazing.

I would at least think we could figure out a way to make a pregnant lady hibernate. I’d be very willing to spend the next 4 months knocked out with some feeding tubes. Read more

It’s STILL how I see my mother even though she hasn’t had them in 15 years! Every time I see her (which is multiple times per week!) I’m still surprised they aren’t there. Read more

I’ve spent about 18 months growing mine out and they are just about an inch past my chin. The last time I was getting a haircut I asked my hairdresser to give me bangs again and she looked me in the eyes and shouted NO. This is why I’ve been seeing her for 10 years. Read more

I do not mean to laugh but that last sentence, combined with your user name, has me in hysterics. I keep telling my husband that as I soon as I pop this baby out I’m going to do something ridiculous like get my nose pierced or go blonde. He thinks I’m kidding! Read more

Oh god, my mom and bangs. You would have thought I chopped off an arm or gave away her first born grandchild. Read more

I used Fertility Friend, mostly b/c I got a free subscription to the premium services through a study I was doing. It’s not as shiny or pretty as Glow, though I hated all those stupid questions and people in the Glow forums that would show up. Read more

I’ll trade you my half of the fabric for your sewing skills to make me a skirt. Read more

I use Fertility Friend, it’s ugly and clunky but I was initially using it as part of a study for a local university and I just got used to it. I would definitely start tracking if I were you, just so you can see if there is a pattern. I started having cycles like that a year or two ago (I’m 33) when I used to be 28… Read more

GIMME ALL THIS FABRIC.
