We weren’t going to cancel, but it cost us less per month to add HBO to our current Comcast package - which, admittedly, is discounted because we live in a condominium that gets bulk pricing - than it did to get HBO Now. And we can watch it together on our very nice new TV - which has all the apps that Apple TV…

Right there with you.

I went back and forth on whether or not I wanted to watch the new season...because I loved the surprise in reading the books. (I have been very good and kept my mouth shut about show developments to friends who haven't read the books, simply encouraging them to do so. I haven't been reading them long enough to be…

Just remember to put a hefty price-tag on it.

I was wondering where all this "bone broth" shit had come from lately. I mean, I know there are subtle differences between broth and stock (essentially, cooking time, and then you up it by clarifying the liquid for a consommé), but most broths usually are made by cooking bones. (Except for vegetable stock, and some…

I think it has to do with Mitchell & Ness' offerings. This map is only based on 2014 data, and these are the only jerseys they carry for Minnesota Teams (Vikings and Twins - they don't have any North Stars jerseys).

I kinda find it hard to believe in a state that worships its public ownership of the Packers, that an LA Lakers jersey is the most popular retro jersey.

For the footlong hotdog, I would like to present this concession from the Minnesota State Fair:

I get what you're saying completely, but this is part of a current thing Disney is doing - live adaptations of their classic animated fairy tales. So we have the Cinderella out this week, now they're doing Beauty and the Beast.

I nearly left my husband over the illness and death of my mother. She had Stage IV cancer, and over the year between her diagnosis and death, I helped out quite a bit. He had untreated anxiety at the time, and his self-absorption levels didn't go to 11 - they went to 1,000. I had absolutely nothing in the way of…

Yeah. My cousin and his wife decided several years ago they were going to be vegan. While the rest of my family pretty much just ragged on them, I dropped them a note. I was once vegetarian, and have plenty of vegetarian friends who started out as vegan. And then realized how hard it is to be out in the world as…

I have never been to Disney Land, so I cannot say. I think WDW is more resort-like, yes?

I figure they realize that they cannot be The Happiest Place on Earth™ if their customers have to constantly worry about the food they provide.

I could see maybe why a server might not know what's exactly in every dish - for example, they might not be aware that bread was dairy or egg free or something similar of the top of their head - but a chef and a manager certainly should. Especially if they go to comp a dessert and it's the two exact things they just…

The allergy one makes me remember yet again why my brother and sister-in-law have a fondness for Disney.

:( That sucks you had to change your commute, but good for you on filing the police report.

Hey - I saw you post somewhere else a few minutes ago and wondered how this was going.

My sister's dress had a catherdal-length train (on the shorter end of the spectrum, but that's still a lot of train), and it bustled up using several button and thread hooks.

I don't know if it's the biggest lie, but it's the most satisfactory and convincing one I ever told.
