Easy with the "albeit in Canada" 's there. The Avonlea and Green Gables tv shows were awesome. They had Coleen Dewhurst as Marilla for crying out loud!

Oh lord, you're one of THOSE??? I have a friend that does this at my house constantly. I have zero preference on what way the roll goes, but now I purposely put it under so that my neurotic bestie can flip out and change it every time she comes over.

I was waiting for someone to break that out.

Shows how much attention I've been paying in my homeland, I thought this was a done deal a long time ago. Either way, seriously?? How about we start dealing with the hundreds of First Nations women that have been murdered or just vanished into thin air? Or keep people from freezing to death because there's no

Indeed. We need to be teaching EVERYONE that they do not need the validation of anyone else to love and respect their bodies.

Wasn't mine, but I have a friend that had a Toronto Blue Jays themed wedding and even had the blue jays logo made into a decal that went on her high heels. They were effing fierce.

Money talks. I love this. 15 million dollars goes a long way, and
'bama blew it.

It drives me nuts that those damned kitchenaid mixers are the new status symbol. My sister in law registered for three in three different colors at her wedding so she'd have a matching one if she redecorated. She can't even bake with a boxed mix. The damned thing has never been turned on.

... all of whom just want their damned coffee so they can get their mini van full of hockey kids to the rink. Never try to start a conversation with a bob cut mom before she's had her coffee.

I'm an older entertainment nerd, and I used to love the celebrity roasts that Dean Martin hosted in the 70's because they were actually funny. I'm not dumb enough to think that the actual Friar's Club roasts weren't full of off color jokes, but there was some semblance of wit. These new ones? They're just one giant

I catch so much hell for this because it makes me "judgmental" but there really should be some sort of "dress for the occasion/your body type" class. Kids in high school all want to fit in - and that usually means wearing the trendiest thing out there, even when it looks awful. (Halter tops with an H cup? No). It

It's the perfect circle of victim blaming. Put them through the ringer and treat them like dirt if they report; call them liars if the don't. I can't fathom why we feel the need to abuse these women further. This worldwide mental block on who the bad guy is in a rape scenario has got to stop.

This. My grandfather showed signs for close to a decade before anyone really understood that he had Alzheimers. Even at his worst he knew enough to ask the leading questions to get him the answers he needed to function in conversation. If you weren't close to the situation, you wouldn't get it.

I used to run a hotel. My absolute favorite was the hockey mom that I wouldn't let throw an all night rager in our meeting room. She wrote in her review that I came on to her and that we clearly were running some sort of lesbian pick up joint. This was in oil country, so roughly 99 percent of my guests at the time

You mean there are women out there who's favorite movie isn't Steel Magnolias?

They need to read a little more about the actual Hobo experience for sure. I wish Robert Mitchum (who actually rode the rails for a portion of his youth) was around to slap some sense into those two.

whoops doubled up.

Oh boy Grey Gardens... I really fell down that rabbit hole. It still haunts me.

I'm involved with an animal shelter (no kill) on a volunteer basis, and among other things I screen and hire staff. I got a resume they other day that had "PROUD PETA SUPPORTER" right at the top, and under experience "handling animals without cruel leather gloves made from innocent cows". Seriously??? Circular file.

The Duggars make me violent.
