There is a commercial here for a local (?) dental clinic chain called Cris Dental. Every Christmas they run this obnoxious commercial that's basically two slides: one that says "Merry Christmas" and another that says "Yeah, we said it!" It's so fucking obnoxious. Our insurance changed recently and we had to pick…

When I was little I liked making the Wise Men do a little journey across the living room until Epiphany. :D

AMEN! EPIPHANY!

I love Christmas Eve too. We usually spend it at home, low key, with yummy "party food" and the tree and music. No going anywhere/buying anything/doing anything. Just chilling.

I do not understand people who put their trees up in November and are yanking it down on Christmas day.

Agreed. Poor thing looks scared all the time. :/

She really doesn't look grumpy all the time to me. She looks scared. And her fur looks rough and coarse the way my Cocoa-kitty's did when she got kidney failure right before she died (she was 16). I really wish they would let Tardar Sauce have some peace and quiet.

There was an orthodontist in my hometown named Dr. Smiley. (His actual name.)

The point of this article is that obviously some people don't know what courteous means. If they did, this article would not be necessary.

My husband is a total Hufflepuff. Yay Hufflepuff.

My favorite part was when Umbridge came in to observe McGonagall teach and McGonagall is basically "stfu, I don't allow people to talk when I'm talking in my class". BAM

She's the scariest villain because there are people like her in real life. Her whole "The point of learning magic is to pass the test, not to actually defend yourself from the dark arts" lines right up with all the education "reformer" bullshit that insists that the only way to measure what students are learning is…

She is not obligated to set an example for anyone about anything. That's the thing that pisses me off with all these people harrassing her. They want her to ~set an example~. She doesn't have to set shit. No one is obligated to set an example or encourage anyone to do anything, but most especially about something so…

gross and disgusting.

ahah sometimes I feel like if I stay here long enough I will grow moss.

I would never evar get in a tanning bed, but I could see the appeal for that if you're into it. I moved from the sunny South to the gloomy-as-shit-from-October-to-April Pacific Northwest and JFC no one warned me about how dark and depressing it is. Relentless exercise and regular sessions under one of those "happy…

Well, to me it's the skimpy clothes PLUS the obviously sexually suggestive movements. When girls wear dance/cheerleading/swim outfits, it's skimpy, but they're not dry-humping the air. It's... utilitarian, I guess, especially in the case of ballet/swimming/gymnastics. There's skimpy for practicality, and there's…

But punctuation isn't cool and neither are capital letters. You are sticking it to the man by refusing to use capitals and referring to yourself as "i". If you have something really edgy and groundbreaking to say, you must do it in all lowercase with as little punctuation as possible.

Yep. And she still has the option, should she want to exercise it later. That's the great thing about having a choice. It's still in her control.

Walmart has this policy as long as it's allowed by city ordinance. So most do, but there are some cities that don't allow it.
