I’ve lived in Canada for 12 years now, and every time my mom comes to visit from the States, she gets all flustered about the machine and hands it to me, saying “You know my pin! Do this for me!” Twelve. Years.

Just enough education to think they know everything. Not enough education to realize they know nothing.
Also, it is nearly impossible to even give an old piano away, let alone sell it. You usually have to hire someone to take it out of your house.
Wow, fantastic interview. He will always be “The guy who invented Skynet and then died spectacularly” for me, but I love spotting him in other things. He is always great. And I need to rewatch Crossroads, haven’t seen it since I was a kid. My dad played the guitar, and it was one of his favorite movies. Also, that…
Now, you see, this version is perfect for people like me, who really enjoy the humor of Deadpool but don’t like gore. I just don’t. The first movie was fun, but I was so disturbed by some of the imagery I would never watch it again. And I haven’t even tried Deadpool 2. But this I will watch. It is too bad they didn’t…
Wow, what an amazing mind this guy has. I love reading about his creative process. Emmett Otter has always been my favorite Christmas movie, since I was a child, and most of that was due to his songs. I remember I didn’t see it for a number of years after leaving home, but kept thinking about one of the songs. I could…
Love the Temeraire books, and was so excited when I heard Peter Jackson had the rights to them. Had no idea he went with this instead. That sucks.
This is exactly how events in my family work out, and how parties at my house tend to go. Kids are in “Kid World” in the back rooms. It is great. That way the kids have a great time, and the parents can drink and talk and don’t have to worry about them. Unless it gets a little too quiet. Then you might want to check.
Re: Yoko Ono, probably! The art installation that first drew John Lennon to her involved a ladder, if I remember correctly. edit: looked it up, I was right, and it is called “Ceiling Painting”.
This is absolutely true! If it says “cocktail party” then childless is certainly implied!
I do usually ask, but that time, since they had kids the same age, I just assumed! I learned at that point (this was a number of years ago) but I am just pointing out that families are all different, and what I experienced growing up was that kids were always welcome, even to big parties. I had to learn that that…
This. I grew up in a family where kids were always welcome, and so I have grown into a person who doesn’t always get that some parties aren’t kid-friendly. Just tell me. I might not like it, but I will understand! I mistakenly took my kids to a birthday party once, at a person’s house who had kids the same age, and I…
This is despicable! I hadn’t seen this before. Yuck.
I got a number of great and/or terrible songs, depending on who you are. My favorite? Sara Smile by Hall and Oates. My least favorite? I’m sure you can guess. Just don’t start fucking singing it. And it’s “No time is a good time for goodbyes,” asswipe.
This. A good friend of mine worked in a clinic and said this exact thing, that a patient came in who was the daughter of someone who had been outside protesting the day before. The protester justified it by saying something like, “Well, my daughter can’t have a baby.” Ugh.
I would suggest giving season 3 a shot. I thought it was the best, by far. If you liked season 1, that is!
We used to do a draw, and then you had $20 to spend at thrift stores or garage sales and the like. On Christmas, everybody would toss 5 bucks into a pot, and if you gave either the best/most/most bizarre present, you’d win the pot! It was a lot of fun. Now nobody gets anybody anything, and it is cheaper, but I kind of…
I feel sorry for all of you. My mom’s turkey this year was freaking delicious. She actually took it out too early, and it was “done” but it wasn’t, not really. Turkey meat needs a looooong time in the oven. She actually had it out and let it rest, and we tried it, and both said, “Nope.” It was chewy and tasteless. She…
Is no one disturbed by the fact that there is a sizable room hidden behind this bathroom? Did they just forget to attach it to the rest of the building? What the heck was it even for? I’m totally confused.
