Highly useful advice I'll be adding to my arsenal. Thanks!

Like I said, do not care where he went to primary school. Do care what his criminal record and a quick skim of his Facebook profile says.

Jesus. How do people still think not Googling is a good idea? I guess "keep some mystery" but I'm not trying to find out what his favorite Chuck Norris movie is - I'm trying to make sure he's not married / insane.

Right? I Google the shit out of anyone I meet online.

See, now I'm doubting my doubt. The first picture I saw was "WHOA. Definitely not the same lady." but after digging through older pictures / pictures from early in the boys career, I'm thinking she actually could be... age and plastic surgery could change her eye / jaw shape enough...

Perfection.

But just to be clear - I was talking about the mother of the Jonas trio, not the mother of the future Jonas.

Wow. I feel like a complete horse's ass. A quick Google search confirmed that the women have the same name, but are clearly not the same person. Further proof of my mother's psychosis (and my desire to avoid most pop culture). Sigh.

Ah, well that's a plus for the people that live there. I (obviously, oops!) didn't do more than skim the article... dismembered body parts I do without blinking, but parasites gives me the heebie jeebies.

Fun fact: My moms went to middle school and claims to have been besties with the Jonas Brothers Incubator (i.e. their mom). They definitely went to the same school, and if what her middle school year book leads me to believe is true, then they were besties.

"Blood worms" is a pretty ambiguous phrase that can apply to at least three different species that I can pick off the top of my head: Glycera (used for fishing bait), a fly larvae or the nematode that causes most cases of eosinophil carried meningitis. I'm guessing that last one is what has officials so freaked out,…

and also

Phone hacking. Say no more.

Preach. I wish you could slap my ex-friend with this information. Part of the reason we're no longer friends is because OMG CESAR SAYS THIS CESAR SAYS THAT CESAR KNOWS ALL aaaand she was trying to use his methods on a rescue puppy who was shot when he was 6 weeks old.

Alright, so what's up with Piers Morgan? Genuinely asking, because he's never really been on my radar & seems to have managed to get a large portion of the population to hate him enough to cut his heart out with a spoon.

I've been on the receiving end of this phone call, and as much as it SUCKED MAJOR DIRTY DONKEY NUTSACK, I wouldn't have wanted to not know.

I pretty much fell off of my chair from the laughing. Amazon, you priceless!

I live in Tahoe, and we're getting hit by all the smoke from the Rim Fire in Yosemite and the American Fire about 22 miles to the west. Today was the first day we could open our doors / be outside for more than 5 minutes without getting a headache. Last Thursday visibility was so bad that you could see ~ 2 city…

Um, what?

My grandmother taught middle school for over forty years, so her tolerance for shitty educators was non existent to say the least.
