I feel you on that! My dad and I have finally come to some peace, because he said that he knows I still have a testimony in my heart and I’ll come back some day. I literally just smiled and nodded. If it makes him feel better, then I don’t mind.

I’ve probably watched too many shows about the CIA, but if he really WAS a former operative, and was going around talking about what he did, wouldn’t the government go this far to get him to stop talking???

The SJP of today has enough clout to say fuck off to a producer who told her to watch her weight, but 1992 was a long time ago. I don’t know what her buying power was in Hollywood in those days, but she definitely wasn’t the huge name she is today, so I’m sure that has something to do with how she responded to it.

Thanks for saying this, everyone in this post trying to say she’s “motherly” but not a “mother” are driving me crazy. My partner’s son lives in a different state, and thus we aren’t a part of his day to day routine. But we are as involved as we can be and see him whenever possible. But according to these people, I…

But sheep-grease is what makes sheep’s wool so amazing!! It makes it water-resistent, it helps keep the wool warm even if it’s wet! That’s why fishermen used to wear sweaters made from wool with all or most of the lanolin still on it. Plus it’s actually really great for dry/cracked skin (like fishermen had!).

I’m a…

In my experience, all bars are loud and annoying as fuck. If you don’t like it, don’t go.

This thought brings me SO much joy.

AND SHE DIDN’T START DANCING UNTIL SHE WAS LIKE 13!

As the former maitre d’ of a fancy NYC place, I have a lot of delightful stories of customers being awful to hosts! Including one that resulted in me getting fired!

This is SO true! I was the host supervisor at a fancy place, and the smart servers were REALLY nice to me, because they knew I controlled seating (I was always pretty fair, though). One time a jerk male server snapped me in the hip with a wet towel and made me bleed. Since I was 20 and dumb, I didn’t file a complaint…

I was the lead host at a fancy restaurant so I got called the maitre d’, and after a ridiculous complaint by a guest, I was fired by the new GM who didn’t like me.

I worked at Bath and Body Works and it was ALWAYS teenage white girls stealing like $2 lip gloss.

From my mother-in-law: You know, it’s probably a good thing you aren’t prettier, otherwise I don’t think you’d have as good a relationsip with [the mother of my stepson, my dude’s ex-wife]. She would be more jealous if you were prettier.

...gee thanks, Mom!

There is absolutely a Friends quote for every situation, and probably a Chandler-specific quote for at least every 2 out of 3 situations.

Yeah, I totally get that! I guess maybe people in my family are more apt to intervene in clearly uncomfortable situations, just in an effort to pretend like everything is perfect, and not so much out of concern for the individual in question....

And my best girlfriend would DEFINITELY have put a stop to it as well.…

Hilarious! Taking a kind of lame tradition and making it actually entertaining instead of: “Why am I watching my cousin’s new husband stick his head up her dress?”

Thank you for inspiring me to google “family sings summertime.” It’s everything I never knew I always wanted.

If her uncles were anything like mine, the groom would have been put in a full nelson and taken to sleep it off before the humiliation happened.

I feel the need to point out that any good wedding party and/or kind relatives would have intervened and ended this before it became so humiliating for both of them.

No no no, if these were actual really good girlfriends, they would have rallied the bride’s father, the groomsman, the weird uncle that lives in the woods, and anyone else to Shut. This. Shit. Down.

All the mildly sober people who didn’t put a stop to this would be dead to me. (Ok, not really, but if this was my BFF’s…
