The Unbreakable Jinger & Jana?

I hadn't thought of that. When I used to defend dog bite cases (12+ years ago) no one was excluding pits, just dogs with a known history of biting.

I doubt it had much to do with Kim Richards. Dog bite claims are usually covered by the owners homeowner’s insurance, meaning the insurer’s attorney defends the case and the insurer pays the claim. No insurer is going to pay $1million in damages for an injury that only required $4k in medical bills.

Two short stories: First, second hand, my sister bussed tables in high school in our small, foothills No. Cal. town, and Michael Keaton (then-current Batman - we adored him for Nightshift) came in with his young girlfriend. He was nice, but the girlfriend made a huge mess - tearing up her napkin, upending creamers,…

One of my earliest memories is of playing dolls on the floor of the plane between my mom and sisters’ seats. My mother swore I couldn’t remember bc I was just barely 2 (my first and only plane ride until my 20s) but I do and it was awesome. Go Goldie!

I go to Julep salons (in Seattle) and my “parlor” membership ($18/month) gets me a free brow wax or simple mani and discounts on other services. Mani/pedi is $53 for members, $76 for everyone else. All nail technicians are licensed and paid as employees and receive 100% of their tips. And their polish is 5-free and…

Plus, after 13 years of earning compound interest, it's closer to $100k.

I don’t see how this is much different than making your kid finish out the season of a sport or ballet lessons or Girl Scouts (any activity you’ve already paid for) before letting them quit.

Also the slogans. I’ve seen “I hate my thighs” and “Dads, hide your daughters” on toddler tees. WT ever-loving F?

I, too, love Oreos, but I prefer the cookie part. So, I'll trade you Oreo creme for cookies.

Can we talk about Cicely Tyson in A Woman Called Moses? I must have watched that eleventy-million times when I was a kid.

Ever since I first watched Boardwalk on HBO, I've wanted to visit Coney Island. Next east coast trip!

I want to take this opportunity to give a shout-out to the best boardwalk of all time: the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. Go ride the Giant Dipper, body surf in the ice-cold Pacific, eat an enormous corn dog, drink homemade lemonade, get a sunburn, rinse, repeat.

Sacramento International Airport, Terminal B: Esquire Grill. Get the grilled artichoke appetizer and a big glass of wine.

Burgerville is our only fast food choice on road trips from Seattle to Portland/Eugene/The Coast. Sweet potato fries for life.

I just read “Nigel Short’s penis” as “Nigel’s short penis” and I'm totally fine with that.

The Common Application system has changed the college admissions process and made it easier to expand applications to more schools. Though I think the students who apply to all the Ivies may have made acceptance in all 7 Ivies their goal.

Your friend should teach a burn seminar, then we could all go to a bar where a pick-up artist class is happening and practice.

That last one should win in the Pissing Contest Sickest Burn thread.

My sister has dealt with this by asking her family & friends to only give birthday gifts when we will actually see the kid and do small gifts when we’re together for Christmas (a book, crayons, etc.) because her in-laws will not listen and are drowning her kid in unnecessary toys. He is literally delighted with the…
