"Toothless and Stuart"

That might be exactly where I remember them!!! I think my brother had similar plastic balloons when he was a baby, but these dirt and dust covered things were in some waiting room... probably my pediatrician.

I had forgotten about them too!!! I just remember them being really dusty when they finally got taken off the wall.

These balloons just gave me a major early 80s flashback. I know they were in my house, but I don't know if they were in my room, or my sibling's, but damn, apparently they were a stylish thing to put in a kids room.

Was that first kid never a teenager?

Definitely if a baby or wee one without much verbal ability pulls away or crys, then I definitely won't try for baby smooches. But usually when my little nephew sees me at the door he runs up to me and sticks out his belly... trying to get zerberts.

I completely get what they are saying and mostly agree with it, however, at what age would this start? Are babies okay or off limits? I am a baby smoocher. When all the babies and toddlers in my life run up to me and I pick them up, they immediately get their chubby cheeks smooched and bellies zerberted. I…

The lines can be very blurry. There are a lot of reasons predators go after children so often and the blurriness of the "but mommy always tells me to give grandpa a kiss" and "grandpa wants me to kiss him" aren't clear to a kid.

What the ever-loving-hell is going on here?

Oh, I was thinking the same thing! Usually the deodorants alone are enough to make me weak in the knees. Especially when one just happens to gel well with the man's own personal smell.

I've pretty much come to the conclusion that googling "(anything) Downton Abbey" will immediate turn up all the spoilers. You can't even look at the DVD covers without immediately knowing some of the spoilers. I only started watching a few months ago (binge watched all 3 seasons in a weekend) and with every article…

I'm still holding out hope that a season or two from now, The B in Apt 23 will have the cult following it deserves and Netflix or TBS or someone will realize that it needs to live again! (I also have the same feelings towards Happy Endings)

A friend of mine wasn't allowed to watch Dirty Dancing growing up because of its adult themes, even when she was a teenager. I watched it religiously from age 6-12. I sang along to the soundtrack on my walkman during long trips to visit grandma. My mom even let me have a Dirty Dancing themed birthday party when I…

Some children's books never get old. I adore Shel Silverstein. Have been reading his stuff since 2nd grade and he will always be a favorite.

She probably works at a crisis pregnancy center and educates women on the science of abortion.

My dad was a dentist and was always bitching about others who would do just this, to milk the state since they know they will pay. He's also very skeptical of other general doctors who do this as well, particularly in hospitals. Your 2nd Dentist sounds a lot like my dad. He called the suction thing "Slurpy Sam"…

This headline is all wrong for a Doug post. It should be more sensationalized. More like,

For me, it was the laser-eyes thing at 0:14-0:15 that I found most impressive.

Well, I think avoiding her or being shy around her now will only make it worse. Next time you see her just say what you just said, something to the effect of, "sorry I was just a spaz the other day. I just really like you and get really nervous and then I never say the right thing."

I just had a cleaning last week and the hygienist was saying how people never update their medical history even when they are directly asked if they have had any medical changes. She even said the last lady was visibly pregnant (like 3rd trimester) and she said "nope, no changes" really? Not even one major change?
