I think we all have this kind of stupidity on something. I thought reindeer were fictional animals (like unicorns) until I was in my 30s. I never saw one other than movies and I thought they were special effects.

She was not great to him. I feel like he was the person she thought she should be with. He sounded good on paper. But she really had no feelings for him so it was all forced and terrible and they were better off far apart from each other.

Yes. This show is basic.

I feel like I’ve been hearing about it for so long that they’ve had enough time to write, shoot, edit and promote a 6 hour miniseries for the damn thing.

I think you are right - there is a little bit of jealousy from LuPone that the film didn’t get made when she could have starred in it. I think she very much sees it as her role and wouldn’t have been pleased by anyone’s portrayal, but especially Madonna - who is not a trained actress or Broadway caliber singer.

I didn’t like her in it. She seemed to be so aware she was ACTING the whole time. I mean, she wasn’t Shanghai Surprise levels of bad but I feel like it took a LOT of work for her to get to mediocre.

Even with that - the quality never seems that far below what I see in department stores. I know it’s like J Crew Factory where they make specific things for outlet and specific things for the mall stores. I just don’t have that much faith that the items are different enough to merit the huge price differentials.

I have only purchased Coach bags from their outlet. With their online outlet I have been able to get some really good deals and the bags have lasted for years. I tend to go with the plain leather and not the ones with the logos. But I have a giant leather tote that I love and it cost like $120? I see a similar bag…

Before Fandango, back when this came out (hell, before the Internet) we made my friend’s mom pre-order tickets to this movie on opening night. She had to call the movie theater and use a credit card because no one even had debit cards. We were convinced it would be sold out. We had that much faith in Christian…

I will also accept “bubble water” as the name.

I am a grouch. I keep a lot inside. My inevitable senility is going to be eye-opening for those around me.

I need to hang around hotter dads, I guess.

I kind of adore that he calls it “fizzy water” mainly because I’m tired of being judged when I order it like that in a restaurant. “you mean a club soda?” - water with bubbles. I don’t care what you call it. Stick a lime in it and leave me the hell alone.

Sometimes I hear about someone and I wish I knew them in real life. I felt that with Amy Krouse Rosenthal’s first book and then her second book and now I wish I knew her whole lovely family. That sounds creepy but man, they just sound like the sorts of people who would just be a joy to know in the day-to-day.

I have two boys and feel the same way. But now I’m at the point where I get performance anxiety if I have to buy a gift for a niece. I walk into the stores and am overwhelmed by the pretty clothes and the cute toys and I can’t handle the choices and it’s too much pressure.

YES!It won’t stop raining here and my weather depression is in overdrive.

Schedule treats! Little things that you force yourself to do. For example, I’m stressed and dealing with depression. I got lunch with a friend. It’s been on the calendar for more than a month. Im seeing a play with friends next month. But other than my big social outing once a month, I do little things: every Friday I…

Rich people always seem to do pretty well for themselves. I have a feeling a “where are they now” would only aggravate me.
