I just can't. What is the "logic" behind this action?

Same here for me in NOLA. My mom & grandmother also use/d the phrase "six sheets to the wind" but I have no idea where it originated.

But it's not a necessary evil. The presentation of the trophy/etc. could be done with everyone wearing a standard team shirt not referencing the event, perhaps a new everyday design that hasn't been released yet. The commemorative items could be printed and sold just a few days later - people won't have forgotten the…

Just finished reading Dune and started Dune Messiah yesterday, for the umpteenth time. It's always nice to run into others who like it too. I don't find too many compatriots here at home.

Thank you! I figured (hoped) he would just fade away and he didn't. WTH?

I use Aveeno Skin relief Fragrance Free Body Wash - it's great; no irritation, rinses well. And they recommend it as a shaving lotion on the label. Years ago I could safely use a glycerine-based soap, something like basic Neutrogena soap. Bath & Body Works used to carry a fragranced glycerine-based soap that I could…

Don't feel bad. My aunt AND my mom both said my little sister looked like Yoda when she was born. My mom said it first, to the relief of my aunt who was thinking it. (Empire Strikes Back had come out just a few months before Mom gave birth and we were all huge Star Wars fans.)

Hitchhiker is amazing! I'm getting ready to reread it for the umpteenth time.

I second the Steven Saylor recommendation. The Marcus Didius Falco series by Lindsey Davis are similar but also funny. What about the Stephanie Plum books by Janet Evanovich. I found them laugh out loud funny to read.

Try the novels The Last Convertible, A Green Desire, and Once an Eagle, all by Anton Meyer. Early 2oth C./WWI/WWII is the setting.

She's beautiful!

I envy you with the dress up abilities. I see cute crochet patterns all the time and think "Man, I wish Bud/Stanley/other cat would cooperate and wear this". My family has also accumulated a box of pet costumes in the hopes that one of the cats will let us dress them freely, but...... no such luck. We have jokingly…

The Star Wars scores, Harry Potter, and LOTR trilogy are all good. Check out the score (not soundtrack) for American Beauty.

I just learned that the original Molly Marine is in my hometown of New Orleans! Learn something new everyday my grandmother told me. I guess I did what she said today, so Empy is smiling down at me now. :)

Considering I'm behind on a few of these items, I get what you're saying, but no biggie. I know I can take care of myself and live on my own - I've done it before. I moved home to take care of my mom after a heart attack and to get my finances together. I'm still with her and my dad, and I'm OK with it. They're…

I loved my Fashion Plates!

What's up with the knock-kneed, poor posture thing going on? Come on people, let's stand up straight like we're proud of something, not all let's be cutesy.

I definitely get where you're coming from and the post you linked to was good. Blurred Lines the song is OK, video is ridiculous (not in a good way). Tunnel Vision the song is great IMO but again, the video is lacking to put it mildly. I just stick with my imaginary mental video when I hear the song.

Very true but the song is hot. I much prefer my mental video to this one.

I've had sucky vacays with friends. What's up with that? Right now the only females I'd travel with willingly are my mom and sister. Am I the only one?
