    How about calling people by their names, speaking/writing in the plural or rearranging sentences so that he/she, his/her and they/them are not needed?

    I think part of the problem for me is that “they” is a plural form in traditional usage, so I have to consciously remind myself who the pronoun is referring to... In Swedish/Norwegian/Danish the pronouns are HAN for “he” and HUN for “she” so they have been using HEN for gender non-conforming/fluid and I think it would be much easier for English speakers if we had a word that was between “he” and “she” that could sound different but clearly refer to one person but that’s just this COL’s opinion...

    That bidet is cool but I dont understand how Jihoon's shower works.  I dont belive he only has $5K more to repay.  He lied about everything else so I'm sure he's lying about how much he has left to pay.  Jenny is way to old be that stupid.  

    It’s possible you just use the handheld shower sprayer and stand over the drain in the floor - I haven’t been to Korea but when I was staying with a Greek friend in Athens, (named Euripides! sister named Athena!) he showed me to the bathroom where there was a drain in the floor and a tub but no shower curtain of any kind...I sat in the tub and carefully used the handheld shower head to take a shower. When I was done his mom came in with a mop and looked around wondering where all the water she was expecting to mop up was - I guess they just stood in the tub, sprayed away and mopped up later...

    There was a video that was posted awhile back in this thread about a few women that quit Lularoe. I believe one of the women stated that one of the people that are higher up in the Lularoe company was pushing her to get some kind of cosmetic surgery. I want to say it was weight loss surgery, but do not remember what it was exactly. If anyone remembers the video better please correct me. So while I think Meri is just using FaceTune or filters on her photos, I would not be surprised if she started to get fillers or botox to appease the higher ups in the Lularoe world.

    If I remember correctly, the high priestess of LulaNO actually sent(sends?) people to have a gastric bypass in Mexico with her preferred doctor...but would those clothes even look that much better on a thinner person? I don’t think it’s the body that is the problem 😂

    Fortunately Reddit's Sister Wives sub saved the post. Complete and total disaster.

    Condoms are for slut people! 

    But seriously you are right.  Both of them should have been protected.

    I understand better when it is teenagers that get pregnant.  But adults?  You know how to prevent pregnancy.  Try not to make a baby with a stranger you barely know that lives across the globe.  Especially when you have no idea if they will ever be able to financially support a growing family.

    And you’ve already done it once before! Figure it out!

    believe he has videochatted with her so she is definitely "real," she just has no intention of meeting him. It's also possible that she subcontracts out the tedious task of exchanging messages with him to an ugly woman (or man) and that she the pretty lady then shows up to this Ukranian "boiler room" full of scammers, computers, and phones only when necessary to create a video message saying "I love you baby" that is then sent to dozens of Cesars.

    They do show him looking at a video, but it is not a video chat - it’s a video she made and sent him. As his boss/friend points out she never says anything personal in the videos she sends, not even his name. He only ever talks on the phone with her. I’m guessing the videos are made by models and sent to multiple suckers, meanwhile a call center of Russian grannies in babushkas work the phone lines to reel in every penny they can...

    Wonder if they'll name him Flame.

    I had to look up some synonyms for ember and related words...they have some wonderful choices!  Soot, Ash (could actually work) Slag, Coal, Clinker, Smut, Cinder, Spark (also not horrible?) Char, Stoke, Slack, Culm...

    I can't get past the idiots who see that picture and rave about how much weight she's lost. I mean, I realize that my eyesight is not the best, but I can tell the difference between a cow and a collie......

    She may have lost a bit, but I think age and gravity are pulling her fat apron down and thus it appears somewhat smaller in girth 😉

    Happy for Tori but I wish she hadn’t adopted her sister-in-law’s affectation of “girlsie “.  (I had to type that 3 times because spell check kept insisting I wanted to write “girly”...I know, spell check, I know.)

    So the writer of the article is just being a bitch?   She's saying that large women shouldn't be able to buy workout clothes because she thinks they're disgusting?   Fuck her. 

    If I were more tech savvy I’d be able to insert the author’s bio picture featured next to her name on the article...and If I were more catty (oh who am I kidding!) I’d say she could stand a few more hours in the gym or she might be shopping Nike’s new line...

    Someone peed in the potty for the first time yesterday🙀 She’s been sitting on the toilet and making the sounds for weeks but yesterday was her first time actually peeing. Then this morning she was sitting on her picnic basket making a pee sound and asked to go again...and she did it again! How are toddlers so intuitive?🤯 Any tips for this entering the potty training phase?! It has officially begun🤘🏻

    No snark on the toddler, but maybe she’s copying her mom’s open mouthed photo poses 😆...

    Here in California practically everyone has them. Usually they are just flowers but sometimes people will make one with dollar bills instead of flowers. They are always being sold on campus on graduation day or at a florist during graduation time. My friend is from Hawaii and she always makes the lei’s herself from scratch like back at home. I went to a graduation a few weeks ago where they were being sold for between $30 and $40. 

    Here in the Seattle area we have a large Pacific Islander population and I think over the years leis have become standard for many at graduations and even weddings. Our Costcos carry leis during the whole graduation season.

    Washingtonian here.  The scariest thing I've encountered was a black widow.  My daughter was very young then (late 80's) and it was on our front porch.  I took off my sandal and smacked it.  I don't kill other spiders, but black widows are dead where they sit.  Luckily, I haven't seen one since.  

    The weather here is beautiful now.  We're having a later Spring than usual.  No tornadoes here, low humidity, sunny weather most days, even in winter.  The only scary things that happen are an occasional earthquake, or even more rare, a volcano blowing up (1980.)  

    Janelle should find out what Christine's doing, eating and exercise-wise.  It would have to be better than "Strife."  

    Shhhhh Xwordfanatik! You’re not supposed to tell people it’s ever sunny and nice here! Our beautiful climate and landscape is a secret...Trust this Puget Sound resident when I say it ONLY ever rains in Seattle!! 😂
