Have you tried Carhartts?

Just realized that I had made an inadvertent pun! Because Brits call their butt their "bum"!

I have two comments.

I like that she graduated from college in 2006! That makes her at least 29 (assuming a conventional path)! So models who model clothing to grown-ass adults can actually be grown-ass adults? Awesome!

My lead dog is named Autumn. My sister almost named her daughter that. I vetoed it and asked that she please not name my niece after my dog. She's a GREAT dog, but I'd be so confused.

Warm fuzzies, but I don't understand this doll. How is it worth enough to pay several months' worth of utility bills?

Sleep in, go skiing, then join a family that DOES celebrate Christmas so you get a nice dinner. Bring a pie. :)

OH, haha. I completely misunderstood. :)

Hahaha!

Yes, absolutely. You've been more than reasonable in everything you've written. I actually wasn't putting myself in the shoes of the forgetful person; I was putting myself in the shoes of the person with a forgetful spouse.

What you say is absolutely true, but unfortunately, you don't get to chose how your loved ones behave. The only person whose behavior you get to chose is your own. If you know for a fact that your loved ones WILL forget your birthday, which behavior do you chose?

I understand, and I agree *completely*, that a loved one should not have to be reminded of a birthday.

It is, but wanting something, not asking for it, and then acting wounded and offended when you didn't get it is pure mean and manipulative.

It gets my goat when people deliberately don't mention their upcoming birthdays so you forget, and they act all wounded about it. IMHO, if you want to be made a fuss over on your birthday, you'd better dang well tell me to make a fuss. Otherwise, that's some passive-aggressive bullshit.

So many heebies. So many jeebies.

When I was 17 (and looked 14), I dated a 24 year old. Years later, I married him, and then learned that he was a genuine pedophile. Good times. But you're right; at the time I was too damned flattered to THINK about this.

Well, then. I guess it depends on how you define "hotness." To me, children do not equal hot. I mean, I think children are beautiful, but "hot"? No, that's gross.

The "youthful hotness"? Beg pardon? The dude is TWENTY-SIX. Women his own damned age are still WELL in their prime, and are probably more conventionally beautiful than a teenager!

How on earth could anyone else buy a bra for a woman without having her try it on?

Whaaat? No Seven Brides for Seven Brothers? No the King and I?
