I thought Allen and Elizondo’s chemistry was great and the actress who played Mandy was very endearing. That wasn’t enough to keep me watching for one full season, much less six. Honestly, I didn’t even realize it was still on the air as of last May until I read this.

I’m not gonna do it, but I get it. You get a party and people give you shit when you get pregnant, whether or not you’re emotionally and financially ready to care for the shit. You get a party and people give you shit when you marry someone, even when they’re a total loser and your loved ones know you’re making a…

When I lived in NYC, I was regularly surprised by how many people couldn’t/wouldn’t dress appropriately for the weather. Especially footwear.

Will it stop asshole passerby from throwing litter in my yard? I don’t want to bond with them, I want them to stop treating my yard like their wastebasket.

I once used a prescription topical pain killer whose insert told me to not use it if my body might be consumed by animals after my death. That was too bizarre to not research and it turns out they give the oral version to arthritic cows in India but when they die and are eaten by vultures, it kills the vulture.

Yikes!

I read it in late 80s and remember not liking it at all. To be fair, I was probably around 13 and not much of a judge of literature at that point but I also don’t feel very motivated to give it a second try.

I made several seemingly unsuccessful attempts to post a meme and after I gave up it occurred to me that in a half hour, it will be posted several times. I apologize in advance.

Or be like me and drink everything out of your extensive souvenir coffee mug collection.

No, I wouldn’t.

Most of the Marines I’ve met in person were REALLY short. Like, “Really? You’re tall enough to join up?” short.

When I was getting ready to graduate law school in 2001, I looked into joining the USAF or the Marines as a JAG.* I immediately ruled out the Marines Corp because female JAGs automatically started a rank lower than males. I really hope fixing that was one of the changes they’ve made.

He’s not as scary but can be gruff. I’m not sure if he’d mellowed some by the time he married my mom or if he was easier on me because I wasn’t his biological kid. But his kids have some scary stories.

I respect his generosity and work ethic but he can be difficult to be around. My mother handles him shockingly well and his kids worship the ground she walks on for it.

I’ve seen it so many times I pretty much know it by heart. I watched it again recently after it being a long time since the last viewing but I still remembered all the jumps and scares. So this time I noticed how much those dudes’ testosterone and even a little class conflict got in the way of fighting the shark. It’s…

My cute back story related to this post is how much Quint reminds me of my stepdad. I always thought it was his personality but I watched Jaws again recently and realized that even his voice and speech patterns are similar.

Ooh, now I need to rewatch!

Me, watching the S1 finale: “FORKING SHIRTBALLS!!!”

Thank you! Also, counting calories isn’t necessarily “obsessing” and just because I count them doesn’t mean I’m not also tracking macros.

Sounds better than the Charmed reboot.
