My mom called George “Nick Clooney’s son” the entire time he was on ER
Jim Bob is asking Jesus for advice right now, and Jesus is all
I have a bag I bought at the Zar like 3 years ago and it has held up pretty well. The clothes are hit-or-miss... I always shop in person and most of the time I leave empty handed because a lot of it just feels so cheap.
Yes, that is really tough. I am 55 and still have both of mine. When my father-in-law died at 95, we were wistful for who he had been, but that person was long gone. Cut down in the prime must be devastating!
A variety of reasons. Total production. Cost of materials. Wide variance in price per ton (which will vary from region to region. Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is probably around $2,000/ton. Napa Cab is twice that, at least, and that doesn’t account for juggernauts like Beckstoffer — he charges 100 times what…
As was said in the article, people know more and care more about wine so they all buy better wine so better wine costs less.
When I used to live in Vienna, I would buy a decent red from Hofer for 2 Euro, and it was BEAUTIFUL.
My mom died almost 23 years ago and my dad just over 2 years ago. They were completely different experiences. Mom was only 55 when she got a nasty case of brain cancer and 56 when she died. Dad was 82 and suffering with congestive heart failure. Mom’s was much harder to take — I can’t even remember anybody saying…
I recall hearing an expression as a child in Farsi or Arabic (can’t remember which) that roughly translates as, “I’m sorry your camel bears this burden.” I like it better than the generic “I’m sorry” because it conveys sympathy/empathy but also makes clear that it is the person receiving condolences who is burdened,…
In my experience, platitudes are for the people saying them, not the person they’re being said to. They help the speaker deal with their own hurt in a way that doesn’t hurt them more. My brother died at 21 years old, from a congenital illness. I wanted to walk around punching all the people who told me that “He’s in a…
When my dad got sick and after he died, I really finally understood this. I was never the type to offer stupid platitudes, but my experience really reinforced the idea. The worst things you can say to someone grieving is shit like, “God never gives us more than we can handle.” Or “everything happens for a reason.”…
In the most basic terms: a “prequel” is a type of sequel. Sequel is an old word; we’ve been using it since roughly Middle English to describe a thing that follows upon an established story or theme. Prequel is a portmanteau (mash-up of other words, ie: manscaping) that was coined in the last century specifically to…
My SO came in the room and said “Why are you watching the viewer’s guide?” And I was like, because the actual show is teeny tiny down there in the corner. What I did was sort of watch it like that and since Starz has it on pretty much constantly this week, and having read all the recaps to get the whole scoop, I was…
You have your looks, your pretty face. And don’t underestimate the importance of BODY LANGUAGE!
Have you tried a couch to 5k program? You can buy an official phone app, but there are loads of walk-run interval plans all over the internet that will get you going. Even if you can’t run a solid mile, you can finish a marathon doing intervals.
Trust me, that’s totally true. I’m 64 and definitely out of fucks to give.*
