I was a terrible sorority sister in college. I would be even worse now.

And yet I would be OK with obvious foreplay with a stranger....

I LOV Blast from the Past! Just rewatched it the other day. It makes me happy. So freakin’ happy. Can’t say that about much these days.

Me too. When I was in college I used to have nightmares about mushroom clouds. Now they’re coming back.

Well that is just terrifying. I am so afraid that police will burst in and kill my dogs because they bark at them. I just read that horrible story about the raid where the police threw a flash bang grenade into a playpen and mutilated a baby.

I do too, and I am an old.

I wonder if it depends on your underlying skin tone? Because I also am super fair, but it looks amazing on me. I get nothing but complements when I wear it, and people will even tell me that my “lipstick looks amazing” when I am not wearing any. Seems like it just brings out the best in my coloring.

It’s hard to accept! This is a person that is supposed to love you, and to finally realize they are abusing you... Well, that’s really hard to wrap your head around. May I recommend Lundy Bancroft’s book, Why Does He Do That? It explains how to identify abuse, why abusers abuse, and what to do about it. I have

Yeah, counseling doesn’t work with abusive relationships because the abuser is very skilled in turning it all around on the abused party. Been there, done that. I finally left, but only when the abuse got very scary.

Hemp. I tried to smoke that once. Just once.

Went to the movies Saturday and had so much candy I couldn’t eat lunch OR dinner. It was great! Cost me 30 bucks, but worth it....

Ha! When I listened to The Wall, there was no Google. I didn’t know who Vera Lynn was until just now. :)

As in, don’t you worry your pretty little heads about Russia. You just go back to cooking supper and leave that to the men.

Is it just me, or is relegating women to the supporting role of “families” insulting? It’s like we’re not fully people, we are simply men’s families.

She was f*cking amazing. I’m going to start watching her. Thanks for posting this!

I love my credit union! I actually MAKE money by letting them keep my money, instead of paying them. Plus they’re very friendly and if you need a loan you get to talk to a real person who lives in the community.

And interestingly, Fox News is NOT covering this. It’s the headline for every major news organization - except Fox.

I sadly felt the same. The jokes were all retreads. I stopped watching 15 minutes in. And previously I have loved her work.

So I searched for this at Nordstroms, and found it. Dear God. Now it is stalking me on the internet ads. It’s like a horror movie - Return of the Disembodied Plastic Foot. For the love of God, people, do NOT search for this thing.

What? Is this a joke? Please tell me this is a joke.
