A while back someone posted a blurry picture of a contrail in a FB group I belong to, asking “What is this?” Someone responded, “A contrail.” Someone else replied, “That’s a chemtrail! There’s a difference!” And the guy who said contrail replied, “Yeah, there’s a difference. Mine is real and yours is a conspiracy…

Me, at a craft bazaar, looking a table full of crystals: “Oh, this one is beautiful!”

Haha, super awesome!

This is really a costume for a smaller dog but it fit him anyway. He was very excited/anxious but that’s his usual state of mind anyway.

Haha, nope! But admittedly, reading her story reminded me to tell my own. I actually don’t remember this incident; I’ve just always heard it from my mom.

I have (incredibly) managed to avoid public peeing/pooping/puking incidents in my adulthood (peeing on the side of the road doesn’t count, right?) but my mom is fond of this story from my childhood.

“Accidentally soiled a pigeon” is such a poetic way of saying “pissed on a bird”! I love it!

My theory on that point is that they just want to get as far away from the litter box as possible. My friend can always tell when her cat “drops a bomb” because he’ll come tearing out the laundry room at warp speed and hide under the bed at the other end of the house.

How dare you! Denigrate the humble pumpkin at your own risk! Nary has there been a better fall dessert than frosted spiced pumpkin cookies, spicy pumpkin cake with brown butter cream cheese frosting, or glazed pumpkin monkey bread! To deny them their existence is to close your eyes to the true beauty of the world!

Don’t blame the gourds! Blame the humans who perpetuate the vicious cycle of coming up with bizarre foods!

Not just you.

Yes! Shelter dogs are definitely the way to go. Love my goofy mutt!

Now, now...I’m sure Egg is a great person.

It’s one thing to not like a food because you’ve tried it before. There are a few cases where I think even not trying it before deciding you’ll never eat it is acceptable (for instance, I would never be able to eat balut). But to write off an entire diverse genre of foods you’ve never eaten tried because you assume…

Both my brother and I, as children, would have our spaghetti on one side of the plate and a small pool of sauce on the other side, and would individually drag each noodle through the saucepool before slurping it down. Luckily, we’re now adults and eat our pasta like normal people.

OMG I used to LOVE “Murder on the Line” and read it over and over. There is a line that I will never forget, for some reason: “Her laugh came bouncing down the line.” And for some reason I was reading that part to my mom and she interrupted to say “ha-HAAA ha-HAAA ha-HAAA.” So when I look at the cover for that book…

Also, please remember that the first thing I ever saw Fairuza Balk in was the TV movie “The Worst Witch.” It was made in 1986 and features Tim Curry as the flying, singing Grand Wizard.

It’s been a while since I read it, but though it was fairly explicit, it wasn’t about masturbation; she felt the discomfort of something inside her and used her finger to try and figure out what it was.

If I recall correctly, the particular part that this mom was objecting to was when Lacks was exploring herself in the bathtub and found the tumor with her finger. I definitely do NOT agree with this woman (and was extremely irritated when I read about her) but I think that was the scene that upset her.
