People, so dumb sometimes. Glad you made it through OK. I almost succumbed to whooping cough as a baby. People were always asking my mom how I got so skinny! (ok, that last part is a lie, but I did really have whooping cough).

Mine too! But I would never ask! Every person has the right to reveal (or not reveal) personal information like that.

If people just thought before they spoke we'd be much better off.

My doctor once commented on a 12 lb weight gain since my last visit (about 2 years prior). Well, I had been living on caffeine, cigarettes, cocaine and adderall. Yeah, kept that to info myself and let him think I was just a lazy glutton.

The verse that really gets me is "My kids don't speak to me. They've learned another language and forgotten their Spanish. They think like Americans, they deny…

Preach it! Couch cowgirl is so much fun.

Anal Pudding is a real live band here in Buffalo! My friend Curt is the lead singer.

Word...my friend Curt is the lead singer!

Are you from Buffalo by any chance? You just unleashed a mess of childhood memories with this clip of Linda Pellegrino. AM Buffalo. Moxy Fruvous. *shudder*

Have y'all heard Rumer? It's as though Karen Carpenter is alive in her voice. I'll just leave this here.

Thanks. What does not kill us makes us more critical of the entitled.

As a former floral designer, I heartily cosign this. I worked for arguably the most prestigious florist in our city (read: wealthy, entitled society customers). You would not believe how nasty people can get over floral arrangements. I was still very new at the game (the owner hired me without any prior experience)…

Ha I've actually watched a couple of episodes! I guess I can see it....intricate and careful revenge plotted over years. Needs more Abbe Busoni, though ;)

My 3 most recent reads....really enjoyed all of them.

Well here's another one for you then!
