It is a difficult conversation to have, but she could start by not being all up in arms over what Grande is wearing in that photo. She lives and works in LA. I'm sure her children see much racier attire on their way to the grocery store or to synagogue.

That was almost thirty years ago and I'm still traumatized by it. :-)

When I was a wee teen, I was at my aunt's house. I went into the infrequently used downstairs bathroom and sat down to do my business. I felt something tickling my tush and did the hop up/scream/scrape my hand across my rear routine. A little spider ended up on my hand and I flailed like a maniac until it fell off. I…

LOL! Yeah, that was pretty damn cringe worthy.

I'm not even gonna lie, I'd much rather see Max but I wouldn't abuse Nev in an elevator if I saw him there.

And I would be willing to watch that, provided Max was there filming it with his handheld camera.

I took piano lessons for a few years as a kid and then had to stop because my Mom had to sell the piano to pay for necessities. One of my biggest regrets in life has been that I was never able to continue playing. I'd love to pick it up again, but I'm afraid that I'd be too far behind at this point, being 42 and all.

Thank you for your response. I honestly didn't intend for my comment to be a "#notallwhitepeople" response, but since you're the second person to say that, it's clear that was how it came across.

Thankfully our system is analog, so I guess I'm in luck! :-)

OMG! I am so jealous. I hope you have an awesome time!

I LOVE this comment so damn much!

If he were to grace me with his presence he could wear anything he wanted. And I do mean, anything. Wouldn't Cal in a pair of Carhartt's be delightful? I have a new fantasy obsession - Thanks, Miss Jackson! :-)

Oh gosh, yes! And Mr. Harris is really working those skinny jeans. Mmmmm.
