I’m an extrovert. That’s not the problem. This is social bullying. Please don’t frame this as “extrovert” behavior. This is reprehensible social interaction.

Yep, I have shorter ones for more casual outfits and full length for dressy events. They never seem “costumey” when they go with the overall look. I’m a woman in a metro area though.
Hello from Denver where it was 70 degrees yesterday, and is supposed to be 68 today. This ain’t right.
I would be more impressed if they had a Nordic Comedy section!
That article was actually more amusing and informative than I was expecting!
I think the first paragraph is Dr. Seuss.
