Yeah, donate any good clothes to neighborhood consignment shops, those are regular hardworking people who could use a break and often they're cheaper than goodwills nowadays

This I am behind, although its hard not to avoid Goodwill when I'm thrift buying since they always have the largest selection of clothes.

You're a pretty cool person Pick :thumbsup:

Finding jeans that don't make you look like you're waiting for a flood is also rather difficult. Having long legs is awesome though.

Also that dress looks awesome on you

Thanks, I'm pretty much the exact measurements of a size 12 model so clothes shopping is never really hard, its a serious blessing since I used to have to shop plus sized. Old Navy long pants work for me perfectly and they carry them in store. :)

I actually tried their talls and they completely engulfed my feet, haha.

Also I just realized I post way too much in this thread, I'm like in the top five poster counts here. :ohdear:

Old Navy stuff just doesn't work on me, I don't get it. I know they use vanity sizes like crazy, but my body just isn't compatible with them at any size. It sucks, because cheap basics are difficult to come by.

I do appreciate that they even bother making long sizes though, not a lot of companies do that

That's surprising since Old Navy makes four pant lengths and has like five different cuts, it's my go to store for any woman that needs essentials. I mean they aren't that butt friendly since I have some butt but the pants are still great and fit well.

Any MRA who thinks he knows anything about eating disorders is an idiot and a liar, since eating disorders require what MRAs least understand: commitment.
I mean part of it is also a forcefully compulsed obsession that makes you feel out of control of your own body (from someone who has suffered an eating disorder) and they certainly have the obsession part down.

lots of people have terrible grandmothers so i try not to be smug about mine but she's just so great i can't help it :3:

she randomly oscillates between religions, a few years ago she got all teary watching crucifixion enactments on tv the night before easter and decided she was going to go to dawn mass the next day for the first time in her whole life, but then we stayed up until 4am drinking champagne and didn't get out of bed until the next afternoon so she missed it and was too hungover to go to the evening one

also i was looking in her freezer once and i found a box of kosher imitation bacon bits right next to a box of actual bacon

anyway that's enough about my grandmother, you can all go back to talking about your southern gothic nightmare families

My grandmothers both died before I was a pre-teen but from what I've been told my Grandma on my mother's side was awesome. :smith:

Yeah I had two friends suddenly die once and that was pretty traumatic, but I wasn't considered a close enough friend by the university so they didn't give me poo poo help since I wasn't considered important despite these guys being two of my best friends, and promptly failed that semester while everyone else got free passes

At least you get to talk to therapists, we have two week waiting periods between meetings, your first meeting after an intake is a month later, which means everything is hosed up way before then.

I pretty much have refused as well to never use a male college therapist since they all seem to encourage I should go get drunk at frat parties to fix my loneliness

It is, my uni requires you to sign a release waiver for them to be informed unless you are younger than 18.
