If we're still doing confessions, here's mine for the day, then I should REALLY try and get some work done.
I came to work with my pants unzipped today. I didn't realize this until AFTER I got to my office and called Mr. Mo and looked down to see that my barn door had been left open. I'm not sure if anyone else noticed, or not, but I'm sure glad I did before the day went on any further.
i once went through an entire job interview with my zipper down.
needless to say i was not offered the position...
That's why they SHOULD have hired you.

My mouth is hanging so far open that it might just fall off my face!
Do you not think the prices of things raise during minimum wage freezes? Do you not think it affects those hard working people?
I am literally floored......
I don't care if I get hate for this, but this is one of the reasons so much of the world has such a poor image of Americans and how they think and behave.......
My sister is American, and is a very high up in a very big company and makes a disgusting amount of money, I would be shocked to hear her say something like this.
FWIW, I'm American and I 1000% agree with @Italian_Buju on this.
I find it absolutely ridiculous that we would begrudge somebody making $15/hr when they don't have any problem at all with the CEO of same company making $5,000+/hr. Seriously?
And, a degreed nurse only makes $20/hr? I did not know that. That boggles my mind. For the amount of money that health care costs, where is all the money going??
I know people who work as unskilled labor in a warehouse who make $26/hr, non-union, in a state with a reasonable cost of living. Why on earth would they make more than a nurse? Oh, right, because the company is willing to pay up to get employees that will stay.
Thank you for saying something......I was starting to think nobody had any common sense around here, or that those that do were too shy to speak up and say so.
I'm sorry, but I have to say it...
I think some of us are maybe not interested in arguing or reading arguments, is all. Could we maybe take this somewhere else now if you guys want to keep discussing it?
Ditto - just in case this is still going on (I'm a few pages back). I study politics and love a good debate, but I really don't want this thread to implode. (cue off-key singing) Can you feel the love tonight(this morning)....

I also randomly bust out with a fake British accent.
Doesn't every non-British person? I assume British people will bust out fake American or Canadian accents too.
I would think that is how Hugh Laurie got the role of House. Frequent random practice.
Whenever he was on a late night show my jaw dropped whenever I realized he was actually from England.
My sister was the one who said "You gotta watch this interview with Hugh Laurie!" I was like okay whatever... I went to sit in the chair as she hit play and I missed and fell on the floor!
Like, REALLY?! He's from ENGLAND?!
Go back and watch Friends episode "The One With Ross's Wedding Pt. 2. He's sitting next to Rachel on the plane. He has his accent.
OMG, I thought about that exact same thing when someone mentioned Hugh Laurie0 -

Same. Except, I don't wear sleeveless tops to the office, but pretty much everywhere else. I love having muscles! It's better than having boobs, in my opinion.
Ha! Yes, but I hate buying new bras...I hate shopping in general but bras and jeans are by far the worst.0 -

States and localities can set it higher if they like. I know, for instance, it's $15/hr in Seattle, but not all of the state of Washington.
If the minimum wage here in TN were raised to 15/hr, I would get a raise and so would most of my coworkers who do not have masters' degrees, except for the nurses. (I have a bachelors.) however, if you think bachelors degree nurses who are making $20/hr vs CNAs who make $10 or people who make $8.75 to transport patients and deliver food and clean rooms are going to stand for not getting a raise if those people do, then you don't know human nature. It's not that all nurses look down on them (some do - I don't like them); it's that they've put years into their education and training and feel that it brings the hospitals and medical practices more skill. And if the bottom gets a raise and so does everyone else to be fair, then how do we contain costs to the patient?
It's a problem, but there are no magic wand solutions.
The problem, is not what you make vs what someone else makes. The problem is that you have CEO's making 8 BILLION dollars a year, while their employees cannot afford food!
I so agree with this ^. No one needs that amount of money.
However, I also agree with the other side (please don't hate me-I really like you ). I have a bachelor's degree and it put me into a lot of debt. $500 a month goes to debt for my degree alone (it used to be $680 but I did pay one loan off). So, the way I see it is why did I bother going to school if I'm not going to make more than what minimum wage is going to be anyway? I would have been way better off not going at all. I'd have more money than I do now.
I will also not say anything else on this because I don't want this thread to crash.
But why is that the fault of the person that makes minimum wage??
I am sorry, but everyone of you that posted about this, all I can see is "I am mad that the person that makes my coffee/cleans my toilet when I stay at a hotel/makes my sandwich at subway, is able to feed their kids, pay their rent and have heat all winter" And quite frankly, it makes me sick to my stomach.
Some of those people work 40-60 hours a week, doing hard laborious jobs, and you guys do not think they work hard enough to make a living wage?
Minimum wage has gone up quite a few times in the last few years where I live, and while it does not affect me personally, I am glad the woman that makes my tea every morning on my way to work, might be able to buy something nice for her kid and still pay her phone bill in the same month. And it disgusts me that some people would rather see people like that struggle and not be able to eat every day, because they did not have the same opportunity to go to school that you did. Not everyone is born on the same playing field and gets the same chances, but everyone is human and deserves the same dignity and a living wage.
Okay so nobody here ever said we think anyone is beneath us. Not once and not at all. And no one said we would like to see people to continue to struggle. You're right it's not their fault, but it's my fault that my dad worked his butt off so I could get a good education? No it's not. We're not saying that anyone is below anyone or they don't deserve to make money when they work hard, so please quit saying that.
It's not a bad thing to disagree with people and have different point of views but your posts come across a bit mean to me.
Well your whole POV on this subject comes off very mean to me. So, your dad worked his butt off so you could go to school. What about the ones that do not have a dad to do that?
That is what I mean about opportunity. If you are lucky enough to be able to go to school, awesome, good for you, but that does not make the people that did not get that same chance worth any less.
And while you might not have come right out and said they are beneath you, you certainly think they do not work as hard as you do, which is totally wrong. You came right out and said that, or agreed with it anyway (I do not quite recall).
As far as the bolded, what exactly are you saying then? The deserve to make money, just not enough to actually live off?
So you believe that everyone should have the same income no matter what their job? I don't think I should be penalized for having parents who worked hard so I could go to school. There are TONS of people who don't have parents to send them to school who get scholarships and loans and put themselves through school. It's possible if you want it bad enough. I was lucky and my parents helped me but I'm still paying off school loans from college too.
I think college should not be so outrageously expensive. Unfortunately for me, I do have a good salary. My reward? I get to pay $25,000 per year out of pocket for my daughter's college education.
Everybody should have the opportunity to pursue higher education if they wish, without coming out of school with a massive debt. If they decide not to go to school, they should still be able to afford to live.
Should everybody have the exact same salary? No, of course not. I don't remember seeing anybody suggesting that. But, everybody should have the opportunity to make a living wage.
I'm not trying to argue- but I think the point that some of us are wondering about is why go to school if people who don't are just going to make the same amount? Why are you shelling out so much money for your daughter to go to school if people who don't will make the same amount? That's all. I don't look down on people, I'm grateful for all that I have, I have the potential to make more but I want to help people and I'm a social worker. I always tip close to 50% as myself and my siblings have waited tables. It's hard work. I'm just genuinely curious about why go to school if you aren't trying to make a better life.
Because she has a passion for history. That's why I believe that a college education shouldn't be so outrageously expensive. Will she make her fortune with an education in history? Probably not. But, will she be moving forward with a field that she loves? Yep. That makes it worth it to me.0 -

Even though I've lost a little over 8 lbs. since starting this almost a year ago, (I'm a VERY slow loser) my boobs have remained as small as they ever were. The ONLY time I had anything remotely close to real boobs was when I was pregnant and nursing. After I quit, they went far, far away never to be heard from or seen again. I'm okay with that, because Mr. Mo is a butt man anyway.

Jealous. I know I've complained about this before but right now I am 118 pounds and still a 28FF(28H in American sizes). They will. not. go. away. no matter what I do - this is as low as I can go, either in weight or body fat percentage, and maintain it without issues, so the only other solution is surgery and I don't think I'm willing to do it yet (but I swear every day I get closer). This does not sound like a major problem on the outside and my girlfriends IRL have very little sympathy but my back disagrees, along with my wallet every time I have to shell out for another $120 bra in my size when the elastic gives out on a previous one.

I just took a mini walk with the intention of going outside and walking around the building because it gives me a lot more steps. I got outside and it was very windy and I felt a rain drop so I turned around and came back in because...I'm actually having a good hair day and don't want to ruin it. I'm going to have to find another way to get my steps in.

Another confession: I really want pizza tonight even though we had pizza last weekend. I kind of hate it when my in-laws order pizza because they always get 1/2 mushrooms on it and I abhor them. Those stinky little fungi never stay on their side.0

That totally sounds like me. I have very few good hair days (in the growing out process) so I cherish each and every one! I got your back on this one, sister!

@peleroja, I know you've said before but where do you shop? It's time for new ones for me (I've just been wearing poor fitting bras for several years) and I should be wearing a 30DD or E, which is not something I'm going to find off the rack.0 -
Mr. Mo asked me what I wanted to do tonight before I left for work this morning, and all I could think of was stuffing my face with takeout, and binge watching Breaking Bad. I WANT to do something fun, but that would require a shower since I'll be all sweaty/stinky from working out, and then making an effort to find non-pj clothes. It's too much work.0

This is bad, but I generally go to local specialty stores that carry my size and try on for fit, then order online at either barenecessities, figleaves, or just Amazon because they're much, much cheaper online. If you don't have a local shop that carries those kind of sizes though you can always order, try on, and return what doesn't work.
The only brands that work for me are Freya (I can now just buy their Deco bra without trying it on because I know the fit is perfect) and Ewa Michalak (they will make 26 bands, which sometimes work better for me depending on how I'm maintaining and working out.) Chantelle is another popular brand for sizes like mine but I find them to fit large in the band and stretch out more quickly than others, and Curvy Kate (also very popular) just doesn't fit me right either but might work for you.0 -

Oh, that's totally me!! I would much rather stay in my pjs than shower and go out. I got your back too!!

Oh, I agree, I will enjoy that immensely, but we should take advantage of our last kid free weekend for a while and all I want to do is bum around at home with takeout and Netflix. We can do that with Rachael there. I'd like to go to the movies, but there are other people's kids there, and other people, so...0
