Why would that be weird?

Too much work that it really prevents me from getting into that nice headspace.

I can’t find the video, but this would be a great place to link that scene in The Americans where Paige walks in on her parents and is shocked to find them... not doing spy stuff, just 69ing each other.

To my memory the last time I did it was in 2001.

Yeah. I was thinking the houses get bigger because you’re getting further away from DC. I have a friend whose mum used to have a small house in Maryland. It was a half million dollars in value because it within walking distance of the DC Metro Red Line. Or so I was told.

with the average family bringing in $112,452 per year

I remember when we lived in a world where words meant something. These aren’t milkshakes, they are ice cream sundaes. Ice cream sundaes are delicious, but milk shakes they are not.

Oh, hell yes. That they stuck with the original ending for How I Met Your Mother just completey ruined the whole show for me. It was on the worst endings I have ever seen and it was completely tone-deaf.

Big was inaccessible to her and in real life the inaccessible guy you try and hold onto never changes for you. He might change for the next girl, but he never goes from being noncommittal and out of reach to suddenly wanting to get married. If the show was supposed to be about female empowerment, Carried was supposed

The slap was so cheap, as was Aleks’ total personality change once they got to Paris. They could have had her realize she missed NY too much without turning him into such a prick. Also I hated how she didn't even TRY with Paris at ALL. she had literally nothing to do all day—why not enroll in an intensive multi-hour

And not just “Go get our girl” but Carrie saying to Big “Take me home.” Like she couldn’t take herself home. Like she needed a man to take her home. I thought that ending was horrible, horrible, and not that I was in love with the series but still, a betrayal of its essential theme, of independent women rising above,

I feel like the movies did this more than the end of the series. In the series, everyone had to compromise- Carrie was still single, Miranda had to move to Brooklyn and deal with family stuff, Charlotte had to accept not having biological children, and Samatha had accpeted monagamy even though it wasn’t right for her.

As a teenager I loved it but by the time I hit my twenties I realized what a shitty friend Carrie was; always ditching her friends to meet up with Big or some other annoying guy. And she was so embarrassingly bad with money for someone in their 30's that it was actually offensive.

I rewatched some SATC episodes over the holidays and the show has not aged well. But I never liked the Big character to start with. Not my cup of tea.

And in exchange, female employees just have to hand over the right to make their own private medical decisions.

* Unless you’re a slut. Then we’re going to pick and choose what forms of medically prescribed birth control you get to use. If it’s not on our list, we make the taxpayers pay for it. God bless and GFY.

I recently saw a Facebook status from a friend of my husband who lives out in an economically depressed area. She works in social welfare for special needs adults. It said “I am so sick and tired of nothing to eat but Wal Mart and McDonalds”.

YES. I was dying over that last night!

I’m too distracted by her “Bump-It”

Ricky has not been funny. I knew I was going to miss Tina & Amy, but Ricky is making it soooooo much worse.
