Full disclosure: I am a Jez reader and sometime commenter, and I honestly loved the “5 Becky’s” post ...I can’t remember the last post that I enjoyed more. Part of it is because I know a Beckeisha - she would lose her mind if I called her on her Beckeisha-ness - and because I recognize some Becca tendencies in myself…

ITA, this and The Shining are guaranteed to either give me nightmares or keep me from sleeping at all.

Exactly this. When you have freakin’ furniture store owners opening up (without - gasp! - even being asked) then you have no excuse. Kitchen or no kitchen, who the hell cares? Last time I checked no-one was planning on making gourmet meals. A roof over their heads, a dry place to sleep, some water / food, and…

That coat with the silver chain...so gorgeous! I want one in white, one in black, one in grey - all the colours!

I thought so too, though largely it was because I was wondering why Jon didn’t just ask Dany to swoop down on Drogon and snatch a Walker or a wight that way. Why did the Scooby Gang have to march up past the wall and capture one? They have the equivalent of those grabby claw things that you see at fairs (the ones…

The last sentence in particular (“And I can tell you: that these ghosts you idolize spent the rest of their lives living in shame and right now, they’re resting in hell.”) was something. I actually blurted out a ‘well damn!’ of my own.

I’m also from Canada and I do the same thing. It’s like...almost magical. “Oooh, look at all the Poptarts! And the cereal! And the cookies, oh my lord the cookies!”

If it isn’t called Winefry, then I don’t want to drink it.

ITA, I’m a fast walker and hate it when I get stuck behind a slow-moving group but if it does happen I will walk around them (stepping into the street if I have to). I don’t push people into traffic.

He’s rowing around the world, don’t you know.

It was a bit confusing for me because I clearly heard Tarly saying the gold made it into the city, but then later we got a shot of white horses pulling a wagon on fire...and it seemed to me the gold was being transported in a wagon pulled by white horses. Mind you, they could have had loads of white horses, so maybe…

Seriously, who likes the Sand Snakes? That whole plotline bores me to tears. At risk of sounding like a “book snob”, I found them to be much more interesting in the novels, and more fully fleshed out as characters. I’m not shedding a single tear that some of them have been killed.

Oh my Gawd, I loathed the ending of TWH. I devoured that book, loved it right up until the end. Honestly, if I could have reached into the novel and thrown Rowan out the window of her lovingly restored home (ahem thanks Michael ahem), I would have.

The only one I still make a point to watch is Game of Thrones; I did see both seasons of Unreal and yes, season 2 was that bad, so I’m probably done with it. I have zero desire to see any of these other shows.

Women like that give cat ladies like me a bad name. I had a cat for 15 years and I never, ever compared my being a pet owner to being a parent. Yes, I called him my furbaby, but I also called him Sir Bitchalot when he would meow at me for reason xyz, and Old Fart when he hit age 12. (I assume that I would call none of…

You’re not wrong, but please don’t let it stop you from living your life. I was in a similar situation this past March - I was attending my stepbro’s wedding in Turkey. About a week before departure there was a bombing in a market in Istanbul. So I was for sure a bit jittery about going, but I did go (stepbro getting…

Honestly, I hope it will be! My 2016 started off really badly (as I mentioned in another thread, I had to put my 15 year old cat down in early January - he was in kidney failure). So numbers 27 and 28 in this list almost brought me to tears, because I was feeling so guilty after my furball died. I kept saying “what if…

Thank you, I appreciate it. :) I’m mostly over the shock / grief but this is my first Christmas in 15 years without him around, so it’s a bit rough right now. Of course, if I picture him squatting on Trump’s head it makes things a lot funnier.

I’m wondering how long it’ll be before someone tries to swipe one of those covers (without the barricade, ofc, unless they’re feeling really ambitious.) I can see it now : “Honey, I could make it into a body pillow! Or as a fancy blanket for the dog bed! Look, it says Tiffany&Co! Do you think you could distract those…

I’m laughing and teary-eyed at the same time. That cat looks so much like my late furball (had to have him euthanized in early January, he was 15 and went into kidney failure) that I did a double-take. Then I chortled, and now I’m wistful.
