Oh, that's interesting, I didn't know that there were top loaders without spindles! I am abashed. I guess my research never extended to actually looking inside of the new top loaders, I just assumed they had them - and spindles were the main reason I didn't want a top loader.

Well, the repair guy is probably only thinking about the "machine" aspects of front-loaders vs. top-loaders and NOT thinking about lother things that are more important, imho.

Teg, you make me laugh.

Well, for the most part I agree with you, but people get invited to plenty of weddings that aren't their bestest buddies. For instance, your boss, your co-worker, a member of your church group, a cousin you barely know, and so on.

I hate to say it, but if I can't afford to give a proper gift for a wedding, then I decline to go to the wedding. It's a hard choice, admittedly. I have been known to make an excuse about not being able to attend the reception, but being able to make the actual wedding; in this way I can be there for the vows,…

I'm glad you wrote this.

What? Is there some link that shows that they call the attendees, "tits"? I was assuming Tough Tits Tuesday was kind of an equivalent of something like, "Balls to the Wall Wednesdays" or something.

I'm going to demand that it be included in the NCLB curriculum!

You're getting a lot of flack for this comment, but I tend to agree with you. A lot of women don't know they shouldn't flush tampons. I didn't know this until my plumber told me, and neither do lots of women, judging by the number of comments here expressing complete surprise.

I'm not sure people "care" so much as they think it's gross and tacky for a restaurant that trades in the sexual fantasy game to invite families with children there to witness the horrible truth that one of the best ways for young women to make money in America is to put on short-shorts and smile.

People keep explaining to you that Hooters themselves used the argument, in court, that they are allowed to discrimate under the law because their waitresses provide sexual entertainment. Hooters says this.

I thought more than a few of those models were men/boys.

They are important in texts because tone is often mistaken due to the brevity of text messages. Emoji impart the emotional content of the text without the person having to add lots of words. They are popular because they are useful and important.

I have my own personal theory that the rock in the sky is called the MOON.

Yes! Vonnegut was a soothsayer!
