I made my closest adult friends in my town when our kids were all in Kindergarten, and 12+ years later, we’re still going strong. All our daughters are 17 and our sons are 14-16, and we get together with everyone or even just a few, of us, on a pretty regular basis. For YEARS the m.o. has been: feed the kids, let them…

I occasionally see Whalers gear in NYC. I was a huge fan and remember watching games at the old Civic Center. I'd get some gear and wear it proudly, still miss the team. Anyone who's wearing a Whalers cap or jersey knows very well they moved.

Thank goodness I read this now. Wow, so moving; I just love her.

Fuck yeah, those smoldering looks would melt me every time. Still do. Awesome movie and he's amazing in it.

THANK you! 1968 here too, and I’ve been drooling over him for DECADES. Han, of course, and INDY, Working Girl (with bonus douche bag baby Alec Baldwin), Witness (I’ll bring you lemonade as you build me a barn), what about Jack Ryan, anyone? Yeah, he’s been hot FOREVER.

I still think it’s “so much hate.” My teenaged kids always correct me.

Me too. I really liked it a lot, but I still think Franzen’s a douche.

I was extremely lucky and once had a private tour of the Vatican, including a visit with a Swiss Guard and time to see the armory. The guns, crossbows, lances, swords, and armor are just amazing. My kids were thrilled too, and the guard let them hold some lances and armor. The helmet and steel cuirass are extremely…

Ballet dancers often have gradual hair loss because they have to wear such tight buns all the time. It’s can also be aggravated by the weight of long hair, another ballet dancer problem. Honestly, I can’t stand floppy buns on men or women; I would LOVE to see a man wearing a proper ballet bun. Now that would be cool.

Yes, White person here; it’s all about the planning, usually via group texts for a few days.

Cop Land is a really great movie. I lived in the NYC neighborhood where it was filmed, and now I'm just across the river in NJ, also near where the NJ scenes were made. Seriously underrated and Stallone is great in it.

Who could forget Jules! I want him to grab me with those fabbo red gloves.

Me too, in a heartbeat.

WITH KITTENS!

OMG Garoppolo

The whole “legal stuff” and “due process thing” was too much. Reading is hard, boys, stick to watching the game.

Dammit, Drew, I was looking forward to your usual acerbic wit and sarcasm, this is just pure bile and anger. Not all Pats fans are rabid, racist, assholes, and the team is much more than Belichick and Brady. Perhaps one of the more regrettable consequences of the cheating scandal is how you’ve lost your sense of…

I still hate Mike Ditka and the Bears.

Ugh, Connecticut is so schizo. It was great when we actually had a team of our own. Anyone remember the Whalers? I’ve been a Pats fan for 35+ years, sure as hell not going to stop now.

Probably from all those short shorts. Another good reason I don't wear them on the subway - I don't want my own yeast infection, never mind someone else's.
