My dad is only a few months younger than his youngest aunt. It used to be more common when families were larger/family planning was less controllable.

Don’t be so hard on yourself. I used to have to arrange the odd photo shoot for various mailings. You know how many pictures a professional photographer has to take to get just a handful of decent candid-ish shots? They’d take literally hundreds of pictures, and we’d use like ten.

Yeah, I can’t remember very many contestants from back when I watched that show, but I remember them surprisingly well.

Prince William County is just the fucking worst.

That’s a legit pronunciation though, like Colin Powell.

Maybe there will be a police auction. I demand follow up.

Yeah, it seems like whatever they put in the various technicolor foodstuffs of my childhood wasn’t used in these.

Very true, but having seen pictures of the man in question, I really doubt that the tape was the problem.

Do they attend public schools where they would be counted as English language learners though?

Whoa, there. I do cook from scratch for my family, almost every day, and buy processed food just about never, but thanks for the presumptions about my diet. This article was framed as being primarily about weight loss by way of stupid woo, and I was commenting on that.

Maybe instead of paying various charletans, you could use some kind of baby carrier to put your kid’s weight more on your back than on your arm.

Yeah, I’m deeply suspicious of any diet that removes virtually all fast food, restaurant food, pre made food, and other goodies as being about anything other than plain old calories in, calories out.

And it’s a shame the vast majority of them vote strictly along capitalist lines, assuming correctly that most of the time any socially conservative roadblocks will be something they can pay their way out of. Fuck them.

She seems like she tries too hard all the time and is the type to tell you all about it constantly. Didn’t I read somewhere she was vegan? That sort of stereotype, but about everything.

If it was nicotine gum (and why else would you be chewing gum at the Emmys?), I think you are really not supposed to swallow it.

First you put them through the coleslaw maker...

You can’t ruin solid wood with paint. You just make it that much harder on yourself if you ever change your mind and want it back to wood. If you aren’t sure what’s going to happen with a stain, take one door from the least used cabinet and do some test spots on the back. If you have a decent paint or hardware store,…

Yeah, I’d be very concerned about this. I know with car related documents, there is a big book of examples employees consult to determine if what you have is legitimate. When we moved, the DMV employee wouldn’t accept one of my husband’s things because it listed the last name first. She was wrong, but had to be…

I don’t know about edgy, but we’ve gotten so used to entertainment being sliced and diced to appeal to certain demographics, I think we’ve forgotten that you can successfully create things that a whole family can enjoy. The Muppets have always been that, which is why they are still most famous for the prime time show…

When I was a child, I defaulted to Mr or Mrs whatever until I was told otherwise with strangers. My parents’ friends were always called by their first names.
