Look, I don't think many Kylie Minogue fans would be fully up for camping in the mud at a multi day music festival.

On the show yesterday Skye Wheatley asked a fellow contestant if their partner had "natural breasts". They chuckled, as I assume they, as I did, had never heard that term before.

@rush But they all have different heel heights? It should make for an interesting gait. (On a related point, is it true that Marilyn Monroe would shave one heel down to be lower than the other so she wiggled more when walked?)

I used to get terrible headaches every 6-8 weeks, and they would last three whole days. I was taking so many sick days that HR actually reported me to my manager. After finally figuring out something was wrong, i did the runaround with a range of medical professionals, until i finally got referred to a neurologist. He tried several medications that did nothing; then finally tried a medication called Flunarazine. And it was amazing; it was like magic.

Now, GPs can not prescribe it - and most likely have never even heard of it. You will need a referral from a GP to a neurologist. Then, pharmacists don't stock it; they will need to order it in, and not all pharmacists will have a supplier that carries it. So you will need to ask around.

@rush Can we please stop with this term "marrying well". What it really means is marrying a rich, high-status man, so why don't we just say that? And if the man a woman married is not rich and high-status, does this mean she married badly?

Ummm... so which one is "THE pair of boots we'll all be wearing this year"?

You left out Liz's great analogy (and even if you didn't see the show, you should be able to figure out what she was referring to): you don't buy shoes without trying them on first.

@simple simon Okay; as a cosmetic doctor herself, she was well aware of the total costs.

@laurenella wow. I don't remember that. Thanks.

Clueless
"He’s her step brother. I know they’re not related, but it’s weird." 
What was weird about their relationship?

simple simon March 14, 2024

Ummm... the cost? Or was that the least surprising thing?

@mystal84 I agree. These women are not actually traditional 1950s style housewives. It's a character they are presenting to make money.

@rayfincam Nor should anyone expect an explanation of whether another person plans to have children
Well, if you are looking to get into a relationship with someone you probably do.

I had frozen my eggs ... at 38   
would go through seven rounds of IVF before she finally accepted she could not use her ... eggs 
So, is freezing late 30s eggs a bit of a scam?

Most importantly, you have to be okay if she completely stops hanging out with you when she gets into another relationship
So if someone is or makes friends with a person who's become single, they have to accept that they are really just filling in time until that person finds another partner?

P.S. What does "names are anonymous" mean?

simple simon March 6, 2024

I think it's really around mid-30s when it becomes very hard to meet new people.


And with all due respect, the experiences of a young, attractive woman trying to make new friends isn't really going to be applicable to those who aren't.

I'm really not comfortable with people being so open about having cosmetic surgery. I think it normalises it to the point where people feel that if they have a physical feature that isn't considered socially attractive, that they are expected to have surgery. Or that it isn't actually a big deal because many people do it. No, surgery is always a big deal.

Wow! And I've gone my whole life not even knowing there were rules for wearing runners with jeans.

simple simon March 4, 2024

Sweatshirt, $339.
I know this is a huge splurge
Ummm... I didn't even know they sold sweatshirts for that price.

@renee056 Didn't Aniston admit recently that she had been (privately) trying to have a child for years.


I'm not sure why, but if a woman is successful and doesn't have children, we assume she has chosen not to have children.
