I have adult children. I don’t believe my reactions to any life-threatening situations are any different than they would have been when they were 8. I’m being an adult, but I’m also being a parent.

My go-to dip: Trailer Park dip. 1 small can of Hormel chili and half a block of Velveeta. Cut the Velveeta into small chunks and mix in a small crock pot until blended. I never take any home.

I hope by ‘problematic’ you meant ‘hilarious.’ I loved that show.

Hold on - you think the ‘original Cheetos’ are the crunchy ones? Just how old are you?

I cannot stress enough how much YNAB (You Need A Budget) has changed my life. Plan for ALL the true expenses, even if they only happen once a year. (Seriously, those once-a-year expenses happen EVERY year.)

Not to beat a dead horse, but this is why local elections are so important. We talk a lot about how “all politics are local,” but the elected officials who decide the majority of laws that affect your life work at the state and district/local level. behest of the Koch brothers.

A crummy commercial? Son of a bitch!

I hate (ok not really) to be Mr. Pedantic, but the incident to which you are referring above was in no way the fault of the controller. The incoming airplane was lined up mistakenly to the taxiway - and someone in another plane noticed and said something. All the controller did was (correctly) instruct the incoming…

I completely agree...through bite 3. I am not going to turn a damn taco around while I’m eating it, though. Just keep going. Use some chips to scoop up whatever falls out. Everybody wins.

Well, we had a brown president for a while, so apparently that un-greated (ungrated) everything.

Read this to discover how hard it is to really build something ‘from scratch:’

‘A year and a day’ is a specific sentence to allow for a sentence reduction - she’ll serve about 10 months instead. A one-year sentence would require her to serve the whole year. She’s either being hyperbolic or stupid - I’ve never seen her show but I’m guessing the latter.

Puppetry of the Penis. I was an adult when I saw it, but damn, that was weird.

I think that should be cause for license revocation. Or flogging.

I’m over 50 and IDGAF who sees me nekkid any more.

Somewhere around 35-45% of my idiotic facebook friends from high school are convinced of this exact fact, so you are absolutely right.

The _Frontline_ narrator is my Ambien. Also any episode of _How It’s Made._

I live in the South, and also, my heat works, so I use a pair of loose stretchy cotton shorts for the same purpose. I never wear ‘outside’ pants in the house, because I’m not some kind of barbarian.

I can’t watch “A Christmas Story” any more because I read too much about Jean Shepherd’s life. And I loved that movie.
