I think we meant this in mildly different ways.

One morning at a family breakfast my mother-in-law serves her 2 sons (aged in their 30s) what she served them their entire childhood: fried eggs, homemade biscuit, bacon (yum). My husband asks his mom what her fried egg secret is. My brother in law asks, looking down at the fried eggs he’s been eating for decades,…

I think there is a special place in help for people who stupidly lie about allergies. Seriously, they make it hard for people with life threatening allergies.

Actually pink peppercorns, often found in pepper blends, isn’t really pepper and can cause major problems for people with tree nut allergies.

I think this needs to be a topic for a future bco - crazy old people stories

Daiquiri Danger

The Tito’s/Tanqueray thing reminds me of this time back in my mid-20s when I went to this party my then-roommate’s friends were throwing. I didn’t really know the people at this party, but there was free booze, so whatever. I’m making random small talk with this dude who, it became quickly apparent, was a total…

This is why you don’t go chasing waterfalls. Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you’re used to.

YOU ARE LOVED AND STRONG AND BRAVE AND I AM VERY PROUD OF YOU.

You know, I usually don’t like to throw around the “I’m a military wife” card but there are a lot of misunderstandings in this thread.

It’s funny because they might actually make something like this and then claim that female superheroes can’t carry a movie, thereby absolving them from ever making another female led movie.

I ate entire packages of double stuffed oreos as a child (and maybe yesterday. And the day before that. And the day before that), how am I not selling my body on the street corner for some of that sweet, delicious oreo creme?

John Travolta & Kelly Preston have secrets? Tell me more, tell me more. Like does he have a car?

I keep it well hidden. You guys’ll never get it!

This will probably get buried in the greys but I want to share this one. So I’m a manager at a small hotel in Brighton, UK, and a couple of nights ago a mother and daughter came into the bar (it’s normally residsuonts only and pretty tiny) and had a few glasses of wine. The mother is very outgoing and starts to tell…
