Ah, the Gift Bag Industry. The major award shows have created a whole mess of PR lists that you can often pay to give tons of free samples to 'local celebrities' or influencers in the hope that you will create some buzz. Gifting suites/ swag bags—they've gotten down to the level of Bar/Bat Mitzvah and kids' birthdays.…

http://digitallydaunted.com/2013/05/18/int… Love the names. I should have included Hedy as well in my great geeks line-up.
My Sandy and Mocha are gifts beyond compare. Everyday is Valentine's Day when you have shelter puppy love.
Satchel Paige. Wikipedia him.
The even said ZEE not zed, so they are seriously humouring us Americans!
As a former chubby (not really but constantly told that, chipmunk cheeks will do that) 5 year old who did in fact become an obese adult, a couple of thoughts:
My brother had one (lost it in the divorce) and it constantly escaped. My husband used to say that it takes a pretty stupid dog to run away from food and shelter.
Before this was part of the Dutch Royal Ahold conglomerate, I used to enjoy writing checks to GIANT FOOD CO. and Peoples Drug store. Yeah, DC in the late 80s.
I loved this, especially since they included Ms. Tuff. Sometimes we should take down our cynical lens and just enjoy.
Which one of them is Joaquin Phoenix again?
I always thought he was Canadian, but nope, USA!
I have a bunch of apples (honey crisp), cinnamon, brown sugar and instructions to bring a gluten free desert. I've been told they don't want baked apples. What else should I consider. They say it is because baked apples don't travel well and are iffy.
College Party Guide is sadly lacking in subtlety or sense of propriety. http://collegepartyguru.com/themes/pages.p…
Gorgeous and seemed incredibly tall in imposing boots. I can't explain how much leather that Bowie and Frampton were wearing. It was great because they were just hangers-on, everyone was all business and nonchalant about rock legends being right there. Geldof's hair was a messy masterpiece and man, oh, man, Frampton…
Re: the Adrian Grenier thing, the only time I skipped class in law school (NERD!) was to see a talk by Bob Geldof on environmental damage being caused by large scale World Bank projects. My friend had served in the Peace Corps and went up to him to discuss on the ground observations in Papua New Guinea. We were…
I brought my son and his friend to Wal-Mart to buy a game before other stores had opened on a Sunday morning. As we were walking out they stopped his (black) friend and not my son. We're talking two 11 year olds accompanied by me. I stepped in to tell them to move along. Life lesson for me and my son, not such news…
I got pregnant with each of mine the very moment I thought "OK, I think it is time." The first came right after recovering from a miscarriage. The very first time we could have sex. I was pregnant for a year with just a 2 week break! The second was conceived on the night my husband and I thought, "I think we're ready…
My favorite version of that was way back in the late 80s I worked at an indie book/record store. We would station someone at the door at 15 mins to closing and make people sure to know that they would be kicked out right at closing. So 3 'til Henry Winkler and his very loud lady friend came to the door. I said that we…
