LOL. I can't get it up about washing misinformation. Everyone should understand that going to one source on the internet is not the best policy. Unless it's our board.

I love the smell of celery leaves. I chop them up and put them in things that call for other herbs. Then I sniff my fingers all.day.long.

OMG, I got some celery from the farmer's market and the leaves were sooooo bitter. They tasted like poison.

That is sadness stoney. Demand your money back.

I can't stand Adam Sandler. I dislike absolutely everything I've ever seen him in.

Legit UO: There have been a lot of domestic abuse cases in the media lately. I feel bad for the victims AND the abusers. I think it sad that the abusers were raised in such an environment that they think what they are doing is acceptable. That they don't know how to handle their own emotions. I wish the media would address the cycle of abuse instead of the holier than thou name calling that I've been seeing.

Now don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to say it's not their fault or anything like that. I'm just saying there's more to the story that I think people easily forget in their anger. If we talked about it instead of spewing more hatred in the name of sensationalism, maybe it would help other people.

TJ1979 · September 2014

I agree stoney. My co-worker and I were just talking about how we think it's a fundamental issue with a sport as violent as football. Like some of these boys don't know how to "turn it off" when they get off the field. There ought to be some sort of service available to players, or even mandatory, to help them leave it on the field when the game is over.

I effing hate the nasty thread (until the dance party) and beg @nanaosaki06 to kill it. Please

stoneycakes · September 2014

Also Stitchfix is cool, but they need to send way more than 5 items, especially since they send like one shirt, one pair of pants, one pair of earrings, etc. I need to try on at least 3 pairs of pants before I find one that fits okay, nevermind one I like enough to buy.

You fill out a bunch of info about your body type and style and they send you 5 things they think you'll like. You get charged a $20 styling fee, which they'll apply to anything you decide to buy. If you don't buy anything, you're out the $20. I did it twice and in the first box, I bought a shirt I LOVE. The second box was a bust.

I think another thing that would help is if they would let you exchange things for other sizes or colors. The first box had a pair of pants I would have bought if they were a different color. The second box had a jacket I would have bought in a bigger size. You can always search for the stuff online and buy it at another retailer, though.

okay. so you're charged $20 to get the box. Let's say you keep the whole box…how much is that? you have to pay per item?

That sounds interesting but like they're JUST missing the mark a little bit with this. Though, less shipping costs for them, and they get your $20.

It varies. I got the cheapest package and they seem to run $50- $120. If you buy the whole box you get a discount. I think it's 25%.

and is it a full outfit they send you? could it be like….five shirts? lol

I started using Ipsy for make-up and hair products. I'm getting my first bag this month and I am seriously excited about it. I really want to start wearing more make-up and trying out new things. But I don't want to buy full sized product and for $10 I get 4-5 new items that are some what geared toward me (they have you fill out a survey to help determine color and contents of the bag).

In fairness, they do say that the boxes usually get better the more you order because your stylist learns your tastes better.

They send you stuff you could make an outfit with or that you pair with an essential wardrobe piece you already own, like a white button up or a pair of jeans. They also send you cards with ideas for how to make the outfits.

Makes sense, but do you get to give them a rationale for why an item didn't work for you?

Yes. They have a quick multiple choice survey you take on each item you receive and then a write-in space if you have something else to say about it.

Now I kind of want to order another stitchfix box, lol.

To go against the grain of the CDing board, I actually have a CDing UO.

I am hitting a bit of a wall with TT. Its annoying me that I can't actually shop? 95% of the time its awesome fun to stalk and hope and pine over a certain print and be DELIGHTED when you get it. But for the last week or so its just been annoying. I have a fat paypal balance burning a hole in my cyber-pocket and I can't do anything about it. I failed miserably at stocking last night which was beyond frustrating.

At least with retail brands you can buy mostly whatever you want whenever you want it. Although I do want a tie dye BB cover and can't buy that either. WHY DO YOU HATE ME, CLOTH DIAPERS!?!?!?!

/end first world cloth diapering problems.

I don't get the crazy pricey WAHM fitted love to begin with. I don't own one, so maybe there's something about them I'm missing, but I don't see how they're better than a fitted I could sew myself.

I hate stalking diapers, wraps, or carriers.

I want to mull over my choices and think about if I want to buy something.

This is why I'm debating a new carrier. I would love to try a Kinderpack, but I really don't want to stalk the page and then make a quick choice and buy. Or worse, try to buy used and have to make a snap decision and hope for the best.

my boss just called me to ask if I was attending a meeting today. (I'm working from home). And it's, I guess, an important meeting that we have monthly. I seriously completely forgot

and really…they'll hand out the agenda and all paperwork even if I miss it.

Office meetings are such a waste of time/money/manpower/brainpower

I have the Skip Hop Duo. It's a messenger bag that's pretty small. If I can't fit it in the bag, fuck it, it's not coming with us.

I'll piggyback on that and say how much it annoys me when anyone assumes I'm a certain way because I'm a woman or a mom. Like "Oh you probably wouldn't like that movie. It's so violent." Oh really?

agree. and even when reading MK's scenario about her free coffee and conversation with that guy at the gas station and how "mom's need coffee". I like sweet gestures like that-a free cup of coffee. But why the hell should I need all the coffee? Why not the husbands/dads/boyfriends/SOs whatever
