That sounds like heaven.

Oh my god. OH MY GOD. it's all falling into place now. What goes best with maple syrup? WALNUTS, THATS WHAT! These crimes are totally linked. It's the maple walnut mafia for sure.

Nooooo never steal a walnut! My parents are IRL walnut farmers (except in NZ not California), and they have lovingly raised their trees with friendly sheep lawnmower friends, frequent hugs and chicken company. That's why walnuts taste like love.

This is like that time thieves stole 10 million litres of maple syrup from the Canadian government's maple reserve. Why is no one protecting the world's most delicious assets?

Pfft. Pecans are where the big money is on the tree nut black market.

Forty years? Bah. Women still had the vote 40 years ago. He wants to use voter ID laws to roll it back to 1918.

I am currently watching the BBC propoganda series Call of the Midwife which is clearly touting the benefits of their socialist National Health Service while simultaneously portraying the lives of women during the "idyllic 1950s" as dreary and extremely hard because of constant pregnancy and childbirth due to their…

But she's not murican!! She doesn't deserve it. Go back to where she came from! Not trolling. Just imagining how America's finest racists will be reacting shortly.

I found a picture of her favorite brand!

The best one is "I stay fit running after my kids all the time".

I strongly suspect that my mother is a borderline. I've only been able to deal with her by keeping her at a distance, which has destroyed relationships with the rest of my extended family. They seem to see her as the victim (which, hey, she's borderline, that's what she feeds off of!), and me as this cruel bitch who…

Let's hope it was just Eric.

Oh, I have this one... prepare your little hearts for horror...

Not well. Fought off and on for 44 years. We would either be best friends, talking about Lost or the latest Toni Morrison or she would be telling me I was the most evil person in the world, laughing when she made me cry. I once went for a solid year without talking to her, but then I had a baby and had to tell her.…

You know, I've wondered the same thing. But that bear would have had to have wandered REALLY far out of their territory to have ended up where it did (southern WI). Although we've had cougar sightings in the past few years, so anything's possible. Better a bear than bigfoot...or Voldemort, which were my other theories.

Exactly what I thought. Bears. About as tall as humans...pretty light on their feet. Red glowing eyes.

I'm posting this in hopes that someone can find a perfectly normal, natural explanation for this so I don't have to be scared every time I visit my parents.

When I first moved to Seattle, I lived in an 1920's era converted hotel on the top floor. Within a few weeks of moving in, my wall clock stopped at 3:12. It was pretty new, but I figured it just needed new batteries, so I changed the batteries and it started working again. The next day it had stopped, again at 3:12. I…
