42 years married here. Just glad I’m still working full time due to my hubby being retired.  Especially due to the pandemic.

Pretty sure that would have happened no matter how old the sushi was. The tapework larvae would have been there when the fish was sliced.

I work in construction/development and I concur.

Her sister sounds like a bad ass too. She tweeted today about staying your ass home and praying there if it’s so important instead of going to church and risking lives.

As do I. I used to work in hospitality and one of the big perks of my job was the opportunity to stay at some pretty fancy-ass hotels and resorts, usually at greatly reduced rates, sometimes on a comp basis (18 years later, I still can’t believe I got to spend a night at Villa d’Este gratis). That said, in the 20…

My parents have been married almost as long as Dolly and Carl, and would be the first people to admit that yes, you do get sick of your spouse sometimes, but familiarity doesn’t necessarily breed contempt. At the end of the day, people who’ve been married that long have figured out that there are more aspects of the…

Me too! That doesn’t mean she doesn’t care what he does,  just that the minutia of your spouse’s day probably isn’t thrilling after fifty four years.

My favorite part of their story was that they met at the Wishy Washy Laundromat.

My mom had this book and as a kid I thought I was a Summer, but am definitely not. I’m not sure what I am but wear a LOT of black and purple. Also look pretty good in brown shades.

It’s Dolly Parton, it’s a joke, she doesn’t take herself very seriously. This is one of many reasons people should be more like Dolly Parton.

Dolly Parton and Betty White are the chicken soup for the soul of eternally entertaining women. If there is a negative side to either of these women they have found the right formula to hide their private lives from their business lives with class, charm, and success.

Light blond types with blue eyes and pink skin incline towards very pure colors, often with a great many distinguished color qualities […] A very different type is represented by people with black hair, dark skin, and dark eyes, for whom black plays an important part in the harmony,” he wrote in the art-theory book The…

Yes, obviously Niles has not actually looked into this, as Dolly has said many times that she loves her husband and it might be that they aren’t up each others asses as to why their marriage has lasted

I don’t know if that’s aimed at Dolly specifically and I myself have not listened to the podcast but I’m getting the vibe that after a half century of being married to someone you do get weary of them because that’s being human. I don’t think she’s implying that she hates her marriage and/or is staying married for…

Don’t be selfish. She’s a treasure of humanity.

The thing about Dolly you got to admire is throughout her illustrious career , she took grief about her looks and style and you know a lot of it had to hurt...but she kept on being Dolly. She kept singin’ and smilin’. For decades. And she’s still going! She’s still standing being who she is. Fan or not, you got to…

“Dean runs an asphalt-paving company, which she probably doesn’t watch him do either. “

I appreciate this sentence

She is a national treasure.

Saint Dolly was always the realest person in the room. Martha Stewart and a sizable portion of talk show hosts (not just the women hosts ) was biting Dolly’s style long before I could even make the friendly, bawdy, but subdued connection. Heck, she outshined Al Franken in the comedy department.

As a delivery driver, I would be totally down with marking Covid houses. This dude let me in his apartment building. I walk up the one common stairway. He opens the door slightly and says just leave it, I tested positive today. And I was like well, thanks for letting me in your covid infected hallway, mfer!! Needless…
