I really want to hear more about the Business Sparrow.

Monthly count from Turkey.

Sounds kind of like browsing through profiles on OKStupid in this regard.

If she’s “pear-shaped” she must be a Bartlett. I have always considered myself a Bosc.

That coming over to his/your place for a first “date” is epidemic. If I like the guy I suggest an alternative without getting all strident, but he usually isn’t interested so no deal. I feel you, I am incredibly tired of it.

Consider how much the stereotypical country song lyrics have in common with the blues and I see your point.

Cheap & cheesy, but what a flow. I can get past that.

Wow, first all the Prince retrospective and now this —it all goes back to a very specific place and window of time. What is the Universe trying to tell me?

And Full Force, who are the guys in the sparkly jackets and Jheri-Kurl mullets singing backup — they produced her stuff IIRC

Maybe not, some of them are tossing around the word “telegony” like it’s a thing that happens in humans (the article I read IIRC says it’s possible for fruit flies or some such thing)

For some weird reason the food comparison is pretty common — the Turkish slang for abs like that is “baklava.” Can you see it?

I remember hearing about that a few years ago. If you’d said ‘tried and failed’ at first I might have guessed.

Where are you? Pyongyang?

Anyone else reminded of chindogu by some of these?

I tend to get this brand confused with Alba Botanica, which has been around for years and was my go-to lotion in the US (those of their other products I’ve tried are good too - I think they make the un-petrolatum jelly, which is a great thing).
