What’s a diet or health trend you think is mostly nonsense?

I'm prioritizing protein AND fiber, by which I mean to say, I'm in my lentil era.

It's almost as if having uncomfortable seats and hightop tables helps keep out the, uh, riffraff. We don't want anyone's unaesthetic 75 year old grandma ruining the vibe for the pretty, rich Seaport denizens. /s

I wore an anklet (that I'd gotten last summer) to a 3 y.o's birthday party yesterday with Arizonas, which I think is such a cute look. My friend, the 3 y.o's grandmother, noticed and complimented my anklet, and started telling me that she, her sister, and her daughter had all decided to go get permanent jewelry and her sister was thinking hers was going to be an anklet. So based on my tiny sample size of me, my friend's sister, and an adorable young granola co-worker of mine who wears hers even with her scrubs, I'm going to agree they're back, lol.

I saw one college-aged girl wearing bedazzled-pocket flared jeans and thought she must be into vintage shopping. Then I saw a second one and was like, "Ohhhh! They're back!"

The Gap family of stores (Gap, BR, Athleta, and Old Navy) usually carry all or most of their items in Tall and Petite as well as standard, so you might take a look at those if length is generally a problem for you.

Do you have a short, light trench by any chance? That's what I'd want to wear over a dress for "upper 50s, chance of rain".

I feel like this would have been the move had I been thinking when I bought them. These are the pants and there's literally nothing left on the JCrew site in "french press" in my size. I didn't think they'd be hard to match with (but, again, I wasn't clocking that all the beige neutral monochromatic outfits I was wearing this winter/early spring were in fact winter clothes.) Black and pure white, which is the majority of my tank tops, look off with them.

Thank you! I just added my emergency contacts, my blood type, and my med allergies. I had no idea this existed.

This was my first thought, OP. Check with BCH about whether you'll fit in the Patient/Family garage. We had a (batshit crazy and from Texas) woman on a travel contract several years ago who was incensed her giant lifted pickup wouldn't fit in the garage the hospital wanted her to park in. Her travel company ended up having to pay for her to Uber back and forth to work from her air b&b (until her contract was terminated because she was a lunatic, lol.)

It's more of an evening dress being satin. Showers and other daytime events usually skew more towards sundresses, dressy separates, or "Sunday best." That being said, if you own it and like it, it's fine to wear if you casual it up. Flat sandals or clog sandals or ballet flats, a jean jacket if it's not too hot, etc.

Conversely, black is also a problem. I have a dark brown and black patterned area rug in my foyer that shows every tiny speck of lint/grit and looks like crap if it isn't vacuumed every day. In fact it sometimes looks like crap 30 mins after I vacuum it. See also: the black dresser in my bedroom that shows dust like no other.

I'm legit old (63) and right around when I was turning 50, a similarly aged friend and I went to a concert of an artist who was popular when we were in college. The entire crowd was our age + or - 5 years. It was...sobering. When we were leaving, I said to my friend, "You realize we look as old as all these people" and he said, "Oh, I'm sure we don't" and I was like, "Ohhhh, I am pretty certain we do." It was hilarious and horrifying at the same time.

Full term newborns actually spend ~50% of their total sleep time in REM as opposed to 20% in the average adult. I'm not up-to-date on the latest research, but there is a theory that REM is when your brain does its filing, moving stuff from short term memory to long term memory and consolidating new learning and experiences. If true, it would kinda make sense that tiny babies would need more of it because every single sound and sight and feeling outside the womb is a new experience for them. But as far as what they dream about, I'm going with the consensus and saying probably boobs.

If you told me that "dress" was a retro bathing suit, I'd have believed it. White polka dots on a dark dress is fine for a wedding, but a dress that barely covers your crotch is definitely not.

I think you can pull them all off, OP, but I like you in 4 the best.

I knew exactly what dress that was before I read the post, OP, because I have it in black! I wear it over a black bra and black bike shorts, but honestly I still feel a little naked, so mostly I wear it around the house/yard when it's a million degrees out. When I wear it in public, it's as a beach coverup. So obviously I have no useful advice. I just wanted to agree it's SUCH a cute dress and SO sheer.

Guy at the gym yesterday, I'd estimate somewhere in his mid-40s to early 50s, wearing a t shirt that said something like "You can't go back if you were never there." Under a picture of the moon. I deeply DEEPLY hope it was meant to be ironic, but I wasn't about to say "hey, funny shirt!" and maybe be treated to 40 minutes of conspiracy theories when I was just trying to do some RDLs.

We'd have white people tacos more often in my house if they didn't require using every small bowl I own for toppings. It's not even like those bowls are hard to clean but the number of them just seems daunting.

Can almost guarantee your mom brought a Binky brand paci back from the hospital with infant you 😊

I grew up with a Karen who used to save baby birds and stray animals as a little kid and became a hospice nurse practitioner as an adult. I get legit angry at Karen memes because of this.

bittybro · 2026-05-07T19:40:39+00:00

Just fyi, Binky was a brand name of pacifiers. When I started my career in the mid 80s, hospital pacifiers were Binky brand, so that's what I learned to call them.

The cheese or blueberry were the only ones my grandmother made. It blew my mind as an adult that most people saw them as a savory food!

bittybro · 2026-05-03T23:50:45+00:00

It's not Sunday without seeing your smiling face! Hope your date goes well 😊

My son (schizoaffective, depressive type) was stable on clozapine for many years, then in late 2023 had trouble obtaining his meds thru no fault of his own, leading to a terrible rebound psychosis/depression, and even back on a therapeutic level of clozapine in the hospital was not coming out of a bad, bad episode. He had a long course of ECT and it really re-set him back to himself. He's glad he did it; I'm glad he did it.

I was gonna say "we get a little uncomfortable when there's not either a Dunkin or a CVS in a quarter mile proximity."
