That makes me feel better, honestly. We were all completely irate when we heard she would be speaking at graduation. I have always been baffled by her continued popularity.

I guess everybody nowadays either doesn't know or remember that in '96 it came out in Congressional testimony that her clothing line (for WalMart) was manufactured in Honduras by 13 and 14 year olds. In my defense, I only remember it because she was the speaker at my MBA graduation in '97 and talked about how the…

Thank you so much for this! I am an Old and remember this song. Sent me down a Wikipedia rabbit hole— produced by Giorgio Moroder! Sold advertising between songs on their album! Had a reunion in 95 and their single was big in Japan!

BUT, even though you are only civilly married, you STILL have to get an annulment to marry in the church. My husband was married to his first wife in Vegas, but we couldn't get married in the church because it hadn't been annulled. We got married on the beach in St Lucia instead.

Yes, because cliche quotes from the works of Restoration playwrights are totally the Man keeping us down. :/

That is a work of art. A completely denial-free, misdirecting work of art. I am dazzled.

I loved my sorority and my years in the Greek system. SAE was next door to our house and they were great guys with whom I spent a lot of time. The idea that these nicknames are in any way representative of the chapter at your campus is silly. The same nicknames have been used for various houses for YEARS. I knew the…

My mom was diagnosed this year, in the same year my father died rapidly of misdiagnosed cancer. She has long suffered from psoriatic/rheumatoid arthritis, but this seems to be the illness that is driving her to despair. We won't let her renew her Driver's license, we don't want her walking on stairs or answering…

I don't think genes and height are as predictable as you would think. We got both of my stepdaughters involved in volleyball because their dad is 6'5'' and their mom is 5'7''. They both topped out at 5'2''.

I agree. I doubt he has any idea how he appears to the majority of us in the real world. I'm certain he thinks we are all just jealous.

Yes, because everyone who doesn't like their first name is a complete jerk. And everyone who changes their name, or goes by a nickname, or uses her middle name? Insufferable.

I am also an old. Quite probably older than you. But I completely fail to grasp the compulsion to post not once, but repeatedly, about your ignorance as to the subjects of the item. Really? Are we supposed to think you are cooler for not knowing? Are you scorning those of us who do, if only through Dirt Bag or our…

Exactly. My husband and his first wife broke up after she moved her girlfriend into their house. Every time he tells a guy, he has to immediately follow up with "No. It was not hot. Seriously. Not at ALL."

Do we have the same mother? Everything was about her. Anything I wanted was me being selfish. Anything she wanted was her due, since "your father is paying, isn't he?" She made scenes at the cake bakery, and the florist, and had an argument with the salesperson at the only shop in our area that carried the dress I…

This is exactly how I feel about showers. My friends/family INSISTED that I have a wedding shower and it was one of the most uncomfortable afternoons of my life. Being the center of all that attention was excruciating for me.

I was on about ten years ago (missed Ken Jennings by one day of taping!). At that time, I had to enter a lottery for when they came to DC to do auditions. I passed a written test, and then had to pretend to play against others who passed the test, so they could see if we would be good on TV. Two weeks later they…

I was on Jeopardy several years ago. That tapes 5 shows a day, Mondays and Tuesdays. Then Wheel of Fortune does the same thing on the same stage, Thursdays and Fridays.

It was legal in Virginia until 2002. My stepdaughters are both currently in a Loudoun County public HS and were both told in Health class that premarital sex is illegal. I thought this had to be at least an exaggeration, but, no, it is actually illegal in Virginia.

I had an English teacher in high school like this. For example, she confidently told us there were no verbs that end in "r." When I responded with a list of the first four or five that popped into my head she sent me to the office. She brought my parents in for a conference and told them I was illiterate.…
