I'm posting this all over because I'm so embarrassed, but I've apparently had that wrong in my mind for fully 22 years.

Oh, no. Turns out I've had that wrong for 22 years. My apologies.

Oh my, you are right. I read the book and everything, but it's been T in my head since I was 14 and I don't even know how that happened.

Panini is already plural! I love you so much for pointing this out. I drive everyone crazy with that one, but I feel it's my mission in life to explain to people that "panini" means "sandwiches".

Do you mean she misspelled it? Because she is referring to Nurse Ratchet, a character from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.

I knew it!

I love that movies, and often bring it up when I'm explaining that not wanting to see 27 Dresses or whatever is not that I hate rom-coms in general. I actually LOVE a good rom com, I'm just really picky about them. While You Were Sleeping is one of my favorites, though I think my all time fave will always be Bringing…

A few of them seem to be hanging out here.

Honestly, that's pretty much what my parents did and I followed their advice because they were really open with me. They explained different drugs to me and told me to stay away from speed and heroine and cocaine (though they admitted to having tried cocaine and said pretty much what you did) and how to be responsible…

Not just a man thing. Growing up, it was my mom who was handy and loved Home Depot. I think the OP is onto something though with the Sephora comparison.

I can't seem to edit this, so I'm replying to myself. I've dismissed several replies to this where I was attacked and called names, and I think there is something these people missed. For one thing, I thought I was clear that this was back when I was a college student. I would have no problem now giving a clear…

I definitely think the network plays it up, and it is popular with fans. Shippers drive numbers. I just think the themes that the show works with would indicate that it isn't as simple as shippers would like it to be. Of course, shippers are a special breed of consumers whose understanding of television and narrative…

I love Caleb! And yes, Alex from the country club seemed great. Lucas is a mixed bag, but basically good, I think. Holden seemed OK. It's the ADULT males that are all creepy as hell. Also Noel Kahn. Though he is creepy and wonderful and I want more of him on the show. Aria's family was in a weird position given that…

Totally true! And if you share them with your kids, all the calories are in the half you gave away.

Yeah, I used to do that too. I remember one of my guy friends telling me that that was bitchy and I should just be honest, and I was like, you do. not. get. it. First of all, in some of those cases, you feel threatened, or just want to get away without pissing off a stranger. Secondly, I do not OWE my number to random…

I don't totally disagree, but to nitpick a bit: I had a credit card and a car when I was in high school and so did most everyone I know, because we were in a fairly affluent community, like the liars. Few of us had much parental supervision at that age, so that never bothered me, and when both Emily's parents were…

It's great that you have a kid with no sensory integration/processing issues (I am not snarking, I swear, I mean it. It's great!) but many kids who are otherwise totally developmentally normal or even ahead of the curve have issues around tastes and textures. Most, like me, will just grow out of it, and it's best to…

None of the PLL discussion here brings up the burning question: Where. Is. Noel. Kahn?
