Due to my dad's weird obsession with avoiding highways but still driving over 600 miles to see family, I've stopped in most of the restrooms in northern Ohio during my lifetime. There's a LOT to be said for a nice, clean public restroom. *remembers small filthy gas stations along the way and shudders*

Hair is easy to change. Attitudes, not so much.

I honestly knew nothing about her until this tidbit came out, but I couldn't stand her character on TBBT (or frankly, the show in general), so I can't say I'm surprised that she's a lot like the character apparently.

I watched some of the behind the scenes stuff with her for the Shake It Off video, and she seems like she'd be fun to hang out with...

As I understand it, that's actually more likely to make someone with sociopathic tendencies start following their urges...

Meh. Customers need a little shock every now and then ^_~

Brain damage can be funky like that. My older sister was in an accident a few years ago, and she still has times when she can't come up with the right words to stuff (six weeks in a rehab hospital even). When she came out of the fog, she thought her dissertation advisor, Joss, was named 'Joss Whedon' because she got…

Maybe the kid poured apple juice in his dad's laptop or something. We don't know what prompted the return, and I think it's a little short sighted to think they're just being cruel rather than enacting legitimate discipline for bad behavior.

So your kids are perfect angels and never need to be punished? They must be fun to be around.

Good on you. I know some parents now (kids are still pretty young, oldest is seven, down to newborns), and you can ALWAYS tell who doesn't enforce a punishment. The ones who do, their kids are generally well behaved. The ones who don't... usually I can't stand being around the kids, and often the parents, because I…

I used to work mall retail, for years. You wouldn't believe some of the reasons people will return stuff (and say it to your face). I think this could happen.

I didn't realize that until these people mentioned it. Never noticed a link to do that =/ - I just count myself lucky that even though this year SUCKED, my little show didn't include the bad parts.

Some of us just can't go multiple. It literally hurts me to try until at least a day or so later. My advice is to make the one count.

The secret is dominance. My cats can be dicks, but they rarely attack me, because they know I bite back.

Yup. I have two cats, one outweighs the older one by about 35%, yet the older one routinely schools him in his place in the world. This kind of encounter is tame compared to the daily Battle Royale. That said, they actually get along remarkably well; their fighting is mostly for play, so I don't really worry about it…

I think maybe you're forgetting about the part where all cats always want to murder SOMEBODY. Anybody. As long as there is murder. I am well aware this applies to my own fur-balls even though they are spoiled rotten.

As I had no insurance for yeaaarrrssss, I went to PP for basics like UTIs and annual exams for a long time; fortunately the location I was going to was right next to an Army and a Marine recruiter, respectively. Never saw a protestor there. The one time I had to go to the city location, it was pouring rain, so none…

I guess I'm just completely oblivious... when I saw this a while back, I just assumed it was supposed to represent 'summer fun' ~_~

I just randomly wandered across this whole thing tonight, and I have to wonder - maybe she was influenced by the English translation of a certain Utada Hikaru song? http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/utada/e…

I grew up hearing about how my entire mother's side of the family hated Eleanor Roosevelt specifically, and I suppose FDR's administration. The more I have learned about the entire thing, the less I understand their supposed animosity, especially since as far as I know my grandmother never worked once she got married…
