My hubs kept a couple of the original furbies on a shelf in his office at work, and was asked to take them home because they were freaking out the cleaning staff at night.

ONCE, my mom got wrapped up in the Gift Of The Year thing. Seeing my, uh, INTENSE mother get into a screaming match over a Cabbage Patch Doll in the toy aisle of the Teay's Valley, WV Big Lots was the gift that keeps on giving. She still gets embarrassed when we tell that story.

Aw man, I also got a furby one year. Except I really really didn't want a furby, cuz I found them creepy. And I knew how expensive they were so I felt this overwhelming sense of guilt and tried so hard to act like I was super excited about the furby. The thing used to talk in the middle of the night. I'm not sure if…

Ah, I got a Furby that I didn't want. For my twelfth birthday. I kept looking at the wrapped box, trying to guess what it could be. When I finally got to open it, my mom said, "I knew you'd never guess!"

I wanted a Furby but ended up being glad I never got one. I will never, ever in a million years understand how during the entire process of producing the Furby... no one thought an "off" switch would be a good idea.

I have a similar story. We didn't watch much TV in my house, so I was a little behind the kid pop culture curve. By the time I decided I wanted a Rainbow Brite doll, they were no longer in stores, and again, this was pre-Craigslist/eBay. My mom tried to interest me in something more contemporary and available, but…

I think that's where all of our furbies eventually ended up.

Last year, the kid I was nannying told me he wanted a Furby for Christmas (apparently they're back!). I think my threats of putting it in the freezer finally dissuaded him.

I love you

Yeah, sometimes it takes being the bitch to get people to understand you're serious.

It's true. I have done this and other people have done this to me. It sucks. I vow to RSVP properly from now on.

That happened to me. I threw a Christmas party over the weekend, provided all booze, made all the food myself (not chips and salsa, we're talking caviar pie, homemade spreads etc), even got boozey prizes (it was ugly sweater theme) and planned it about 3-4 weeks in advance. 30 people invited, SIX RSVPS. I hunted down…

This may be slightly off topic, but people who respond to Facebook RSVPs with "Maybe" should be fined, if not jailed.

People who don't RSVP when you're spending your own money to entertain them, thus causing you to have to overdo it on the food and beverages, are the WORST. I hate these people. It's one thing to not show up to your friends party down the street that was thrown together that day for drinking, it's another thing to not…

She is spot on about warm-ups. The first time I took voice lessons and heard what the vocal coach wanted me to do, I thought she was pulling my leg.

I am a good white person. ... And do you know what? I don't see a need to apologize for it.

Not talk about it. You can just do the right thing without telling everyone. That's not only for issues of racism, it's also just a general rule. You shouldn't need positive reinforcement for being a decent person. Just be one.

If Ariana Grande isn't a baby, then why did she sing the word "baby" that one time and then again that other time?

If this article doesn't win Madeleine a Pulitzer, it will be a tragedy.

Um, so are babies. Their skull bones don't fuse for a good while after birth.
