Fiction...or inspiration? (Both, no doy.) (I want to spend the day watching TNG!) (Jealous.)

So? Not everyone torrents.

Yeah, Parenthood definitely cast him in a new light for me.

Aww, that sucks! I'm sorry. My little sis has her birthday on New Years Eve as well, but we usually had a party slightly after the winter break but did a lot of special stuff on NYE as well. Of course for the first several years of her life, my parents celebrated her birthday in April just to avoid the issue...some…

I don't know many former Israeli Jewish lady, but military service is compulsory there, right? That's funny though.

Right? Apparently they appreciated her tiny stature, which makes sense.

She was a sniper in the IDF, IIRC (or maybe it was before it was the IDF, but basically the same thing)

Ugh, yes. 5' 5" and 6' 4" over here...it's terrible. I NEVER get the leg room anything anymore. Sob. (Well worth the trade-off, but still!)

Your mouth to God's ears. I was thinking the same.

Well it's not $20/person here, but it's trying like hell to get there. People trying to text and goof off on their phones in dark theaters is a bit of an epidemic in some areas here. I think that whole Alamo Drafthouse thing is exciting to people because they seem to have a zero tolerance policy for shitty behavior,…

What's the etiquette for trailers to the trailers anyway? I use my phone during that time - usually to text the grandparent/babysitter of the evening and do a quick double check that everything is running smoothly before I put the phone on silent (and NOT vibrating). I didn't know that was rude! Who gives a fuck about…

I have approximately a thousand (four) younger siblings and now a teenaged stepsibling, so no. Also my mom is a nut for decorating so each room's look has a turnover rate of about 5 years or so.

Wow. That is heartbreaking. Suspending international adoptions because of corruption and systemic problems is a tricky choice to make exactly because of situations like this. Overall it's a positive, I think, since they can work out the issues, but on an individual level it can be devastating.

This is what baffles me when dog people rail against the litter box.

I saw "The Grand" was available free streaming on Amazon Prime and was intrigued (since I am a fucking addict for a good English costume drama) - is it worth watching?

Tights are approximately a thousand times more comfortable.

Nah, it just means I am very apple-shaped. Nothing fits my legs and waist at the same time.

"I am shaped just right so that the ones that fit the top seem to be HUGE on my lower legs and the ones that fit my lower legs don't fit over my ample bottom."

Well they also look weird with open-toed shoes/dressy sandals (unless you get those bizarre, hilarious ones with no toes), so that might have been another culprit.

Oh goodie, the return of weird slippery stuff falling down my torso repeatedly until I can feel a big fat roll of it clinging to the tops of my thighs like a boa constrictor, causing me to clench my teeth and run to the bathroom stiffly to wrench'em back up. NO.
