Absolutely. She is ordinarily pretty. Sorry, but if not for her old man, she never would have made it. It's crazy the way Hollywood is jamming her down out throats.

Yes, her name is truly outrageous!

The people of the US and Australia, for one. You grossly generalize about two complex, diverse cultures.

Did anyone say the continent of Europe wasn't wonderful?

First, sorry about your mom.
Second, Holy Shit! That is soooooo sexist!

You know what's still awful? When we go to get a bank loan, no one asks for my income. You see, I am in a low-paid, "helper" job (full time college teaching). My husband is in engineering/management.

I could star this ten times. I am
half Canadian, and well traveled (eight times to France alone). I love other countries! But being a US citizen is still a good thing, and no country is perfect.

Oh my God! You are right! I did not know that the EU or Europe had different countries. My comment clearly suggested that I had no idea of this.

And then there's the fact that US kids abuse alcohol less!

Perhaps it's because the US is often viewed by people from other countries as a monolith defined only by its worst qualities, rather than as a complex, highly varied country? And US citizens are giving a little back, in generally innocuous comments.

It's so scary. I live west of South Bend and lost power for two hours. Thank God it is back on!

I imagine in Nashville, that is a big deal. When you aren't used to snow, even a few inches is bad.

What region are you in? The South Bend region is nearly entirely closed. Even the health clinics. (Almost) only hospitals are open.

Ewwwww. I hope you dismissed his ass.

She has my sympathy. I have a inflammatory issues, was born with weak enamel, then cracked two thirds of my teeth in a car accident.
Poor teeth are hellish.

KB, I remember that post. I can't remember if I told you this before or not, but here it is:

Holy Cow KB! What was the comment about? (I understand if you don't want to answer. I'm just being nosy.)

I am so sorry you have been through this. But your comments show that you are a super smart, witty, observant person. Life will repay you well for these qualities as time goes by.

I am mental over clean beds. Leaving it unmade is indeed okay. Also, did you know that adding about 20 drops of eucalyptus essential oil to the wash water will kill dust mites in your bedding?
