Colonel Snazzypants, that's amazing. And here I thought I was being "creative" by naming my cat Pharaoh. If I get another cat one day, he shall be Snazzypants.

I would agree with you except for one thing...my father consistently forgets my birthday. I'm his first-born, and his only daughter, and it's a total crap-shoot as to whether or not he'll remember. No joke, one year he forgot mine but then he helped plan a surprise party for a cousin's 30th who's b-day was 3 days…

I want to give you a gold star, not hate you! I'm actually going to be starting next month, as I'm going on safari and hopefully will be buying lots of crafts and such. I will agree that having decorations shoved down my throat from now is ridiculous, but why not get a head start if I can?

How true, she's really the constant in an industry that's based on there being no constants (except for maybe the little black dress). I think if she ever did change her hairstyle all of the fashion people would have a collective fainting fit, lol.

I think that it would be hard to find any creature cuter than a harp seal pup, and I say this as a quasi-crazy cat lady. Look at 'is widdle self all fuzzy and wiggly, awwww.

ITA, the only reason I used to buy it now and then was to drool over the clothes / handbags / shoes. I used to try and recreate some looks using items that I could actually afford. It rarely worked, lol. Now I just poke around online fashion blogs and save my money.

The 2014 "Ohmygodwhatisthatcrap" competition. I'm hard pressed to pick the winner(loser).

What about asking about a menu item for religious reasons? My stepmom is Muslim and she doesn't drink / eat / consume alcohol in any form, and she often asks at restaurants if such-and-such an item contains or was cooked with alcohol. I find it perfectly reasonable but you'd be surprised how many snarky looks she's…

Same here. Give me sports any day, keep the babies. Now if I had to watch kittens, I'd have a dilemma. I've fallen down the YouTube time-sink that is kitten / cat vids too often to claim that it was just because I was bored.

Another Canadian here and I totally agree with you re: the coins thing. If I'm paying cash and want to leave a $5 tip I'll leave it in twonies and loonies if I have it. I mean, it is money at the end of the day. (No, I wouldn't leave it in dimes and nickels because that's just annoying for everyone).

Holy crap, you are like...the Undie Queen. I must bow down! I thought I was unusual because I have about 10 pairs of invisible / seamless undies, 6-7 low rise ones that I wear under jeans and maybe 3-4 that fall under "other".

I agree with most of what you're saying but this is really a clusterf*ck of a situation. Hell, I am Palestinian - born and raised in Canada - and even I'm not all "rah-rah Gaza." I truly do believe that Israel has a right to defend itself but - and again, this is just MHO - their response has gone too far. I'm not …

This is exactly why I tell people not to call me after 10 PM unless it's an emergency. I get up at 5:30 and every freaking minute counts.

What made me really laugh about that review was the fact that he says he's eaten there several times. Apparently the fact that the food (at least according to him) has been sitting out for DAYS!! isn't enough of a deterrent. Oh yeah, and the crime against humanity thing too. I guess when you want a Baconator, you want…

Hehehehe, it's a reference to Stephen King's "Pet Semetary". In it the cat dies and is buried in said "semetary" and comes back as this like...uber demon cat as seen in the pic. (I was a total King-nerd in my teen years and Pet Semetary was one of my faves and even I needed a few seconds to get the joke, lol).

I was going to say the exact same thing. I used to really like her but now she's always the "funny fat person". Not saying that this is her fault but it's kind of sad how all of her movies sort of run together these days. If she ever does come out with a good film where she's really playing against type (so to speak)…

I'm in a small department in a large-ish company and I think I'm lucky in that - of the 12 of us who work together - we all pretty much like one another. I'm not saying we're best buddies or anything but I have hung out with a few of them outside of work (gone to the movies, mostly). That said, I know an app like this…

I'm with you 100%. This past Friday I was at a restaurant where the woman at the table next to me was breastfeeding her daughter, and no one batted an eyelash. (To be fair, she had covered up the breast itself but yeah...I was pleased to see how cool we all were). That said, if she had started changing a dirty diaper…

Canadian here and I'd honestly never heard the term "basic bitch" until recently, and didn't automatically consider it an insult, whoops on me. If I go by this definition I don't qualify, though the hockey fandom / metric system giveaways do apply, lol. So maybe basicplus?

Honestly, this sentence made me laugh so hard and yet feel so sorry for you!
