I got chicken pox as well before vaccines were invented and then shingles later on (I’m getting the vaccination when I can—even though I got it at like 34, the vaccine apparently helps still). It’s its own kind of misery. God, I was totally zonked on painkillers for like a month, couldn’t work, and I was in so much…

My pastor was an elderly fellow approaching retirement age; he’d married kinda late to an equally elderly lady in our far-right fundamentalist denomination. His mother was still alive but lived in the next state over in Louisiana, and I rapidly figured out why he didn’t live closer than that. He asked me and my…

So Jamie Dornan is playing what, a porn actor in the 1970s who does a lot of firefighter movies?

If you hunt, you can find it on remastered DVD. Every few months I get hammered and watch it.

Whatever happened to that one hamburger they sold in the split box with all the vegetables in one side and the hot bun and patty in the other? What was that, the Deluxe? I liked that, but egad the packaging seemed excessive. Why don’t they do something like that instead of this assault on the senses? Because I…

I’m not sure I even want to know how totally-not-like-this the sandwich looked, let alone tasted.

That does explain an awful lot about her life.

ME TOO! AUGH! I have no idea why I even watched that movie as often as I did. Even back then I knew it sucked! I guess it was just what was on.... so weird, that movie. I mean even by the era’s standards, it was one odd duck.

Clearly her posts change drastically depending on whoever she’s trying to convince and what PR spin-doctor expert has had his or her hands on her the most recently.

When are we getting a gritty reboot of Anna to the Infinite Power?

Haha OMG, that is awesome. Already about 70-80% of young people leave Christianity by the end of their 20s (either deconverting or pulling away from the religion’s overt practices like praying, Bible study, and church attendance). Of those, some 30% or so specifically say that their religion’s war on LGBTQ people is a…

Is he trying to go for a Padawan braid or something? Or is it one of those super-skeezy late-80s rattails done for ironic humor value? The world needs to know doesn’t care.

Jesus, that fucking movie. Should have come with some kind of warning. That was a ridiculous amount of crying I did.

Sounds kinda like White Shoulders, but I don’t think that’s Avon. Topaz? Timeless? Maybe Moonwind.. Cotillion if this was a very long time ago. Rare Pearls maybe. Look up the collectible bottles and maybe one will jog your memory.

You’ve sold me. I will see if I can talk Mr. Also into trying it (he’s not much into scent anyway but it sounds terribly intriguing).

Oh, I love those natural oils. I’m wearing a solid neroli scent right now that I’ve loved for just years. Yes, it does evaporate, but nothing lasts forever.

I liked Chanel No. 5—so clean-smelling to me, back in the late-80s, but there was another Chanel scent I liked better. I can’t remember what it is now. Chanel No. 7? I don’t even remember. There were even then perfumes I liked much better than anything out of Chanel, though. Something just seemed so unbalanced about…

My mom liked this and I have a huge affection for it myself. It really is hella rose.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEK KILL IT

Oh my god I hated Love’s Baby Soft. It smelled like baby powder and I was never a baby-loving person generally. Every girl in my high school in the mid-80s doused herself in that shit. It was like wading through pools of baby powder and Polo to get anywhere in that school. The ads were so fucking creepy too, the ones…
