I keep seeing Cameron Diaz in that wreath, not Reese.

"Period" is a euphemism. It's menses. (I'm sorry to be that person!)

I love that you call him Angel.

Identical twin here. Even now, as an adult, if I hear my sister's name in a public place, I turn around to make sure someone isn't talking to me.

I feel so bad just reading this. I hope you all can work it out with compassion and respect. I'm so sorry :-(

You and I should be sci-fi friends. I love your choices.

Good! I don't want to walk out my front door and get assaulted by a bunch of drones flying around.

"...I can't possibly imagine someone puking in a meeting at work, so I'm guessing that this never actually happened."

If I could star you a hundred times, I would.

I agree with your cat. Did he also tell you that you're filthy? Because he told me that you should bathe at least 10 times a day and clean your butt even more often.

We have excellent taste.

I would marry Fred Astaire right now, and I suspect he's dead. That man was top drawer.

My mother also used to pour hard sauce on many things: fruit cake, spice cake, ginger cookies. It was good stuff. She would put alcohol in it. My mother's family tree is Austrian, but her step-mother was from Ireland, so maybe it's from the Irish side?

That sounds delish.

Since myhandleishandel didn't answer you, I will. To my knowledge, Copes Corn is only made in PA and doesn't exist anywhere else in the US, so I doubt you're making the same dish. You probably make it with fresh or frozen corn, right?

I am making one of those tonight. But I don't blend the Copes, I soak them overnight in the milk/eggs/butter mixture and cook them in the morning. It makes them nice and chewy, so so so good!

I am so so so very tired of the ol' Evil Person Demonstrates They are Evil by Licking a Person's Cheek trope.

I was feeling bad for you until you threw your relatives under the bus. Unless they are abusive assholes, your family wants the best for you. Your aunt and uncles probably love you more than you'll realize until you have your own nieces and nephews. Because they only see you rarely it's probably hard for them to find…

That is the worst. What a disgusting, horrible person your friend married. I'm sure she feels humiliated and wants to crawl into a hole. If she were my close friend (and I don't know how close you are) I would point out to her that this guy used her BECAUSE she has her shit together and could support him, not because…

I never question a breakup because they are nearly always well-thought out, anguished over, second-guessed, and finally acted upon. Unlike hooking up, which tends to be spontaneous, impulsive and often rash.
