[ - ] Speaking of what not to wear -- the female attendees at yesterday's parade were a parade of fashion don'ts. I couldn't believe some of the outfits I saw on the subway post-parade. Tight-fitting, short, tacky, often on figures carrying a bit too much weight. 7 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More ]

wear cotton panties you can toss in the wash in case they get any post-wax lotion on them. the waxer will pull them slightly to the side, wipe on the warm wax, stick a piece of pappery material over the wax, pull it off (this does hurt, but there's much worse pain in the world). repeat on other side. apply lotion. done.

Here's the bottom line. You are soon going to be a parent. You need to set up boundaries so that MIL starts to see you as an adult, responsible parent in your own right. She sees you as a girl who married her little boy. [ Reply | More ]
