I have this, from the 90s. Weighs a fuckton. I LOVE IT. Still have the box, too!

I know exactly what you mean. Max was my soul dog.

I just invested in these on kickstarter — packing cubes, but they compress your clothes to take up less space. I’m cautiously hopeful.

Maxwell Smart. He passed away seven months ago, and I’m still torn up inside. (If you ever look at comments in any other dog-related post on this site, I’m sure you’ve seen him, because I’m incapable of NOT talking about him.) My 13 years with this pup were the very best of my life.

Whenever I hear people talking on their phone while on the toilet, I intentionally flush. I figure the person on the other end of the line at least should KNOW.

Wait, then isn’t Emperor’s New Groove in there somewhere? Because c’mon, that was awesome. “I’m just a stupid llama face!” And Eesma! (sp)

Yeah, he says he hunts and EATS the game. Because that’s what he’s out there for, the meat. Mmm, cheetah. Yum, elephant. Everyone loves a tasty civet.

This food is vegetarian.

Did I miss the handshake in that clip? I’ve been wondering if he was still doing that. Or maybe he actually paid attention to people laughing at him, and has made an effort to stop.

And “ask” as a noun.

Just reading that, I felt vicarious anxiety.

Yep, I agree with you. It’s just, like, what is it in the human psyche that drives abusive people to seek out positions where people are putting their actual trust and faith in them? It seems far beyond even just opportunity or seeking positions that give them access to victims. Abusers seem to seek out positions…

I agree. Like I said above somewhere, sadly you find abuse of the ‘weak’ in all large organizations that have any sense of “power.” Large organizations like the military, police force, hell even Congress... sexual abuse is just one more way of displaying power, whether that abuse is against children, women, or men.

TRUTH. Can we start a class action lawsuit that Trump has caused us all to become alcoholics?

Thanks for the info. I’ll have to look into it! I’d be at my perfect target weight if I lost 100 pounds. I’d be ‘content’ with 70. Things just got away from me while my dog was sick and after he passed away. (He survived 17 months with a diagnosis of advanced liver cancer, though!) I went from being way more concerned…

My mom’s new husband’s neice’s husband (yeah, follow that path) called me into a room in their house while I was there for Christmas Eve a couple of years ago. So I politely and cheerfully followed. Less than a foot from the room, my mom finally gets to my side and manages to whisper, “IT’S A BUCK. DON’T FREAK OUT.”

Someone else mentioned they’d had weight loss surgery above, too. If you don’t mind me asking, how was it for you? I’m considering it. Is it strange to feel like a failure because I’m considering it? Ugh. I’m just so unhappy with myself, but I’m an emotional stress eater. But I’m also afraid of, you know, SURGERY.

and in the public eye my dad gets just as much credit as my mom for any success his kids have
