Esther Williams bathing suits last FOREVER and they come in Plus Sizes. I've had that red suit for 5 years and it is still going strong (along with the one in black and navy.. god I love them).

@TheUnicornQueen: Me too. Worse: Bar (since closed) was called "Beer Goggles".

For our first (dating) anniversary my husband bought me a first edition of the English Translation. Probably why I married him.

@BlackSheepSayMoo: My father and I have an awful relationship. I had my husband ask my father for "permission" after we decided to get engaged but before the ring presenation as a peace offering. Nothing changed.

@Thus Spake KATE!: Hmm.. I used to live by Lithia Springs (outside Tampa). We used to call that the redneck rivera because the mulitude of trailer park people that would um.. "vacation" there.

@samethingwedoeverynightpinky: Yes but there is the way Jewish people present the 10 Commandments and the way Evangelistic Christians do the 10 commandments.

@najmah: They used Rock star statues that crumbled.. NO IDOLS.

My early development years were spent in Bible Belt, FL. This was my absolute favorite movie ever. I must have watched it 200 times. The songs are very, very catchy.

@Clare116: We kind of half-lived together first. I liked having my own space which was in short supply in his 1-bedroom NYC apartment. So I'd come and go as I pleased.

@morninggloria: I am married. I asked my mom for the upteenth time for a Rock Tumbler for Christmas.. thinking just maybe now that I have my own household I would get it.

@lilbobbytables: Yes. Yes I can.

@Lazy Line Painter Jane: because they are pretty.. or probably because they are female. Very rarely do attractive females have to pay for shit — it is one of the perks.

The groundhog on Staten Island said that Spring is coming.. I trust him more.

I desperately wanted to be a ballerina when I was three. I distinctly begging my mother for classes that cost money that we didn't have. She caved. Took me to a Russian lady that sculpted babies into professional ballerinas.

Hmm.. I wonder what kind of "American" they mean. In my neck of NY "American" is "3rd or 4th generation Italian American or Italian-Irish American".

@Yes_Tim_Gunn: I also have a latex allergy. Polyurethane condoms FTW! Trojan and Durex make them and they are usually pretty easy to find.

Despite growing up dirt poor on the West Coast of FL — I managed to spew out all sorts of interesting teachings. Whether it was screaming at my mother that she was a DRUG ADDICT at Winn Dixie because she smoked cigarettes or cheerily singing that Winnie the Pooh molestation song at the top of my lungs. Water…

@SkipToMyLou (Original Flavour): That is the greatest idea ever.

I think the woman with the abortion poster is my mom. I emailed it to her to confirm.

Odd thing: My husband-to-be is adopted since birth — I don't look anything like his adoptive mother but I am the same kind of body type as his birth mother who he has never met or has had any contact with (we have a picture)
