I was IN Garmisch-Partenkirchen last year with my five-year-old leftie! I wish I'd known about the store! We did ride the funicular though.

Savage BREAST. Music has charms to soothe the savage BREAST. #icanbepedantic

But that's how fairy tale castles are! And have you seen pics of the bathroom? Glorious. But mainly it would be the experience of staying in the park all night when it's been closed to everyone else. (I've been obsessed with this place for a while.)

I hate how much I want to spend the night in the Cinderella suite with my kid and that no matter how much I were willing/able to pay, I still wouldn't be able to, because I'm not connected.

MONDALE!

Can you answer this: why do all the gym bloggers hate Gabby Douglas?

I agree! I just don't get the gym blogger hate.

Can someone tell me why there is so much hate for Gabby (even prior to last night)? I'm talking about blogs like Gymtruthteller. She seems sweet to me and I enjoy watching her perform. I just don't have enough inside knowledge to get what's up there.

I live in Fairfield County and I see plenty of teachers in spaghetti straps, flip flops, shorts (not cutoffs, but more like mid-thigh), leggings (super tight Old Navy type), tee shirts, jeans, sneakers. They look awful. All the ones I've gotten to know have turned out to be excellent teachers, but they don't seem at…

No one complains louder, or faster, or more than I do about noisy kids and their inattentive parents in a movie theater than I do. And it's not because I hate kids - it's because I'm paying a babysitter $15/hour so I can see a movie with a little peace and quiet.

Sure, but if you know you're spending the rest of your life in jail (or on death row) might as well max out the Visa.

You and me both.

$15 is the going rate for high schoolers in my town (Fairfield County) watching one child. Goes up for multiple kids. College students get $20. It's insane. But we paid it to see Moonrise Kingdom. You do need a babysitter, if only so you and your husband get some adult time out together, even if it's only once a…

I remember talking about this in 10th grade typing class. TYPING class, on typewriters. This is before they invented these computer thingies.

See, now we are getting into "my cousin's friend's neighbor's coworker" stories BUT I have one too, and it is that three years ago I met a woman who moved here from LA. In LA she was a florist or something like that and she worked with the Smiths, Cruises, Beckhams, Rob Thomas, etc. Lots of people. Anyway, she told me…

Thanks for the links. I had no idea Highclere was the home of Lord Carnarvon!

My thought was that the name Martha Levinson must be Jewish. Though yes, maybe she just married a Jewish man and did not convert. I am both horrified and eager to hear the remarks the Dowager will no doubt make.

Have your baby announcements delivered by ducklings!

Hold up - is Lady Cora Jewish? And her daughters? And the Dowager Countess is okay with that?

If the Postal Service would get on this there would never be any talk of closing branches or cutting back service. People would send tons more mail.
