I’m so sorry. I’ve been in that vortex of terrible before and it’s seriously no fun. I hope things start chilling out and getting better really soon.

As a former braces wearer, I’ve always wanted to invent hull-less popcorn as my million dollar idea. Too bad I have no food science skills. I’ll let you know if I ever figure it out though.

I have sworn in the past that there is no way in hell that peanut butter cups could get any better - but you have proven me wrong. I wish I had legal access to such things. Ugh to redneck land.

This sounds delicious. Can I have some?

I just discovered gin too and I totally get this feeling. It’s so nice to have so many more cocktail options.

Oh no, but that’s just a winking eye alcohol suggestion!

Is that stuff good? I saw it at the store today and was tempted, but I didn’t feel like taking a chance.

I’m on the hunt for a good night cream for sensitive, oily skin with fine lines. Anyone have any suggestions? Right now, I’m using Origins Night-a-Mins which I got as a free full-size sample (so I feel like I have to use it), but it’s not that great.

I lost my oldest cat a few days ago, so this Caturday is a bit bittersweet, but I am now kicking back and toasting her with some lovely Estancia Pinot Noir. I might even break out some cheese and crackers and make it a party.

Heh. You’re welcome. :) She’s the coolest. I highly recommend following her on Twitter too.

I totally get it. It’s not like I contributed much to the conversation either - it’s just that it struck me as odd that the comments were completely empty after so much time (it’s super rare).

Very true. I can’t really talk either because it’s not like I said much of anything, but I was just shocked at the lack of comments on an important article that had been posted for a good half hour.

I kept thinking “surely it’s a Kinja error,” but apparently not.

Are there really no comments on this yet (or am I being Kinja’d)? Talk about proving her point.

I have to admit this is pretty damn endearing.

That’s how you can tell he’s sincere. He gets called out, he checks his initial defensiveness, then listens and changes. No one is the perfect ally. People have to be allowed to learn from their mistakes (if they’re willing to, that is).

This! I almost gave up on Community when they did that episode with Britta’s terrible parents. They pretty much displayed every NPD trait in the book, but at the end, it was all “Britta, get over your childish self and forgive your parents” which was just so wrong and hollow.

Same. I finally told my parents to fuck off 4 years ago and it was the best thing I ever did for my mental health. I don’t know that I would have had the strength to do that as a child, but it would have been cool to know it was an option.

BBS old people solidarity high five!

This is completely off-topic, but this picture reminded me of a nerdy childhood joy of mine - getting to write on one of these things in school.
