Serious side eye at TLC then because they had to know this but still wanted the show even at the cost to the kids.

Shut up, make me a sandwich, pump out a male baby and smile.

My sympathy for your situation, it’s not right at all. Years ago when I gave birth my doctor suggested that I stay in the hospital for an extra few days to get some more rest, in the end I stayed a week after a natural no medication birth. A friend gave birth a few months ago, she delivered her baby and was back home

I saw 1941 in a theater and it made me smile occasionally. Hook made me embarrassed for Spielberg. I only stayed for the whole disaster because it was part of a birthday party and I was a chaperone. 

I make mine in mini loaf pans, they’re the perfect size for gift giving.

Betty Crocker’s Jeweled Fruitcake is the winner.  It has whole, I repeat, whole Brazil nuts.  I made one for my new in-laws when I got married. When I divorced their son they wanted to keep me and the recipe. 

We stood our toddler next to the tree and got them to stretch their arms as far as they could and then decorated above the mark. 

Macdonald’s drive thru menu board enrages me because the screen is constantly changing. I see what I want and then it disappears for 30 seconds. BK has to keep their chicken fries, they are the only thing I order from them. Except for the one time when they gave me the wrong order and I opened up the bag to find a

I want one of those plane de-icer machines.  My car would be road ready in less than a minute. 

The wealthy international students here literally walk away from fully furnished apartments when they return home because it’s not worth their time or money to deal with getting rid of the contents.

When they inevitably break up he is going to have a treasure trove of material for his next stand-up special. 

An exBF gave me a four slice toaster. 

YES!!  My boss did that one year!  His GF owned a high end spa and everyone including the men got a $25 gift card. The cheapest thing on the menu was around $60 if I recall. I never used mine. 

I’ve worked Christmas, Halloween, New Years Eve and every holiday except Mothers Day. It was always by choice and my co-workers did appreciate it, holidays are meaningless to me. Mothers Day brings out the psychopaths in people. 

If I have to show you the basics, like how to drain the potatoes or open a can of something, then you are not helping. Stopping in the middle of doing something to take you step by step on how to make the gravy is a time waster.  Only offer to do something that you actually know what to do. Thanksgiving isn’t the time

It looks like several potatoes joined to make one big potato but still impressive. 

I make cranberry sauce with fresh cranberries, orange juice, brown sugar and a bit of fresh ginger. It’s converted more can eaters than the missionaries.

I had that exact same hairstyle in the mid-80s.  It was chic, easy to maintain and looked “white” enough to be non-threatening.  However, I matured and outgrew the look.  Apparently, the style still works for Rice.  Nice, understated and non-threatening.  Keep doing what works for you.

He is/was the Queen’s favourite so she will probably bankroll him enough to keep him out the local pensioner’s home.

I remember reading years ago while he was in the military he was regarded as an entitled prick and no one felt a sense of warmth or duty towards him beyond what was expected for his rank and protocol’s sake. For years the story was that he and Fergie would re-marry once Phillip was gone, I wonder if that’s a
