My husband was in Buffalo, NY a few weeks back for work and I directed him to the nearest Wegman's to stock up his extended-stay hotel room. He was delighted. And I've never been to one myself...just have an innate sense of food location, I guess.

I'm feeling a little verklempt...

Boy, did I Urban Dictionary the hell out of this one, I'll admit it.

Her kids are two responsible adults who, up til now, have taken her to brunch or cooked her brunch for every Mother's Day. We see her maybe 5 times a year (Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter, Mother's Day, Father's Day), despite inviting them numerous times to dinner - and we live about 20 blocks apart. They're just…

Since hubby's mom "made other plans" for Mother's Day without her kids (who does that?!), I offered to pretend to be his mom and take me to Hooter's for free wings (the age difference finally pans out). He just looked up at me, and slowly answered, "Well, I appreciate the sentiment, but..."

Let's play Global Thermonuclear War.

It's been 10 years this past January since I lost my mom, and I still can't believe it. You learn to manage, but Mother's Day is still hard for me every year. I'm sorry for your loss - you can still celebrate your Mom in your own way, though.

Would you like to play a game?

We have enough WTF for one Mother's Day, thank you very much. My husband called his mother to invite her to brunch on Sunday morning, and she said, "Thanks, we have other plans." They (I guess she and his dad, because his brother sure couldn't afford it) are going out to a Mother's Day brunch at a high-end steak…

I'm glad I'm not the only one who got T-Rex in my head as soon as I saw the phrase "fuck a gong!" Well played, Gadget - well played indeed.

Up, down, and strange are the names of quarks. I don't really know why I know that.

The three-dollar bill was pretty queer.

Forget #COTD, this is #COTY. Not the cosmetics company. Of the year, see?

Of course it's easier to peel ginger with a spoon...if you remember to peel it within a week (or month?) of buying it, instead of letting it get shoved to the back of the fridge until one day you move the barbecue sauce and find it huddled there and think to yourself "I guess I better do something with that before it…

I don't think I've ever read a Tweet Beat in which I giggled at damned near every tweet. And I have barely touched my first glass of wine!

I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to say, but my gut (heh) reaction to the photo was, "Oh of course, she's got darker skin, she can pull it off. I'd look like a fricking plate of mashed potatoes jammed into a bikini."

I learned the word "contiguity" today.

Wow, I've been a huge GoT fan for 8 years or so. My husband is going to be so disappointed to learn I'm a nerdy boy who doesn't interact with women.

I guess it's pretty easy to follow where the hard-core conservative money is at any given time. With Walker's position on the line, the Koch brothers et alia are dumping loads of cash into this state, giving the craziest right-wingers the means to be heard. Glenn Grothman, for example, has been in office for years…

Le sad that the husband is leaving tomorrow for a week in Buffalo, NY for work training (but happy he got a promotion). I won't say a word about it on FB for numerous reasons; primarily, I have a FB friend whose husband got deployed for 8 months in the Phillipines and I don't have a whiny leg to stand on and…
