Or maybe 65 is old enough to have paid over forty-something years of FICA tax (and Social Security retirement's not until 72), but I'm sure you know best.

Pro-tip: it is always an unpopular position to suggest there's a "best" time in someone's life to do anything. Because

I'd love to take this course, but I keep getting an error message when I try to register. I'll keep trying, but if you know, could you tell me how much it costs?

So true. Ugh.

"Sidequel"? That's a new one to me! But I get it. I'm interested enough to see it, for sure, but I don't think I can watch "Mad Max" again. My tolerance for depressing nihilism, however packed with badassery, is not what it used to be. Plus, the last time I saw it on TV it had been dubbed with American accents, which…

Holy shit, he and Sigourney Weaver and that scene in YOLD... *getting the vapors*

Mel was first (1985), Mark second (1986).

I was asking myself why we needed a reboot of Mad Max, but everyone here seems so excited that I can't make myself be a grumpy old lady about it.

Thank you for saying this. My parents were raised in rural north Georgia, and compared to their parents, they're racially enlightened. Compared to my generation, not so much. My kids will probably cringe at me in a couple of decades. Thanks for recognizing that people can be well-intentioned and also hella racist. :)

If you really want to give those tear ducts a workout, watch "Joy Luck Club." It has a happy ending!

After her three c-sections, I am curious as to why she is all of a sudden in love with vaginal delivery. I would think the word "rupture" in relation to one's uterus would be sufficient word-to-the-wise.

Meanwhile, Boko Haram is continuing its rampage in Nigeria seemingly unabetted...

Dude, read the article. The cops are convinced this person perpetrated these crimes due to the vehicle owners' sexual orientation. Say what you like about a blogger's agenda, but cops are not usually ones to jump on a bandwagon unless it's REALLY blatant and obvious discrimination. Why wouldn't people who love cars…

There comes a point at which you just have to make yourself sit down and write, no matter what comes out of your fingertips. I dawdled and dithered on my thesis until I was a year into my doctorate, and it totally fucked me up. The pressure I put myself through just by AVOIDING it all the time- God, I wish I could sit…

I saw Manhattan in a summer classic movie series, and I knew I should leave after the opening montage- everything after was bound to be a disappointment! I loved Hannah and Her Sisters, though. No young ingenues in that one!

Is that definitely Malia, you think? I see Michelle and Sasha, but the girl in front of them doesn't look like Malia to me.

My SIL collects dolls like this and gave my kid one. It's creepy as hell- I've got it perched up on a cabinet out of sight, but I'm afraid to give it away just in case they come visit one day (I guess they're expensive?).

I thought John Black was Forrest Alamain! Does that mean Laurence and Stefano are related? Has anybody been buried alive lately????

She and Lisa can argue over which one of them was more successfully impregnated by Stefano diMera. Or, wait- was Billie his illegitimate daughter, as well? And Kristen his adopted... But engaged to his son...? Anyway, that man is mean, mean, mean!
