Bill, yes, and no. JL is supposed to serve their communities, and I imagine that an organization that is so monochromatic might not do as good a job as one that, I don’t know, includes members who represent more than one portion of a community. All these rich, white ladies descending upon the ghetto to help out poor kids that they would never see otherwise kind of rubs me the wrong way.
Also, in the deep south where JL is very popular amongst upper income ladies, I can’t help but wonder if various chapters use the photograph attached to membership applications as a way to exclude non-white ladies.
Maybe the JL in places I’ve lived in Georgia, Mississippi, and Louisiana is just messed up and everywhere else is great.
What is the percentage of black members in your JL chapter compared to the percentage of black citizens in your city? The JL in my town is lily white, and they like it that way.
Starting a comment with “one girl I know from Junior League”… might be a PGP first. Are you meeting up with your friends Buffy and Angelle for lunch after your morning shopping trip today?
It takes a lot of discipline to not smash when the opportunity presents itself. This is the closest you’ll ever be to achieving zen mastery of yourself.
Yep. I had a friend who insisted that you pronounce her daughter’s name as “LillYan”, not the conventional “Lilleean”. I had no idea you could develop alternative pronunciations for a generally normal name like “Lillian”.
na, it is probably a lot more fun for the mole to remain anonymous for a while longer so that the bride can make a fool of her self trying to find out his identity. Exhibit 1 – her upcoming polygraph party.
Naaa, for some reason, I’m picturing a white trash, new money, overweight girl who resembles Mamma June. Only someone like that could intersect ridiculous costs with a total lack of taste.

jewelry gift celebration sex
holiday sex
morning sex
sex in your childhood bed
Those are literally all A+ good times by themselves. And Todd turned down a combination of all 4. He is truly an idiot.
“Is this how it feels now?”
Bad news- yes
Good news- you’re not the only one

nice
whatever you, don’t calculate the per-diaper change cost.
June needs to be bumped up a few slots due to wedding season. Travel, gifts, tuxes, etc. add up in a hurry.
“Its a trap!” (Admiral Ackbar voice)
no
It could be a lot worse.

My poor, sweet little Goddaughter is going to have this problem.
I wish people could refrain from giving their kid a nickname as their legal first name, ie “Jimmy” is on their birth certificate instead of “James”.
commenters need to stop trying to make this swinger thing happen with Girl and Todd. Will pretty much took it off the table.
Todd is a dummy, but Girl should have known better. Offsetting penalties. Time to drink heavily on the company dime.
I bought my wife the Brooks Brothers 2-piece linen pajama set and she is still thanking me for it. They were pricey, but I’m glad I dropped the money.
