I thought the exact same thing. The dress - in terms of general pattern - is a great look on her, and gorgeous. I’m just 100% positive I’d boil to death in a latex dress and just be a hot mess by the time I got up on stage.

Fine, then they can either not attend, gather in the corner, or stay for a while then leave and go to a club. Stuffing 30 people into the bathroom at the Met (which isn’t big to begin with) so that nobody else can get in there and smoking in a building full of art that is 1-1,000+ years old is infantile and entitled.

They have no fucking clue. Not one. In a twisted, perverse way, I’d almost like this bill to go into effect immediately and for it to then immediately bite them in the ass. Then I’d sit back and laugh. Oh, and I’d also point it out to them, every time I heard one of them utter a single word about it.

I HATE these people. I am physically sick over this. They wheel carts of Budweiser into the Capital for their celebration while I have friends who are panicking that they will lose the health insurance that they finally got. I hope every one of these assholes richly reaps the Karma they have sown today.

We tried. I will never claim to have been the perfect parent. I made a shit-ton of mistakes, but I sure as hell tried.

My kids pull that shit. WTF? I taught you several crucial things: how to use your brain, how to be kind but to stand the fuck up for yourself, that you should always have a cat, how to take care of yourself and not depend on someone else to do it for you, how to use your education to do all of that (<——-), how to use…

Also? Not backlit, as I stupidly rediscovered last week when I climbed into bed with a hard copy of a book I was re-reading before the new book in the series dropped onto my Kindle. (The Husband was already asleep, so I often read without a light on, just using my Kindle backlighting.) Not possible with a paper book.…

I have such a fear of my phone battery dying that I have an external battery pack/case (mophie brand) that charges my phone twice more without plugging it in. It’s not entirely because I’m hopelessly addicted, but because I travel for work, and that beast is GPS, email, internet hot spot for my computer 9 hours a day…

Pound purries are my favorite things. These are my boys, except that Oswald (the black and white kitty) died in December of kidney disease and I don’t have any pictures of just Bob and Emmett together. (We’re still sad.)

Please consider adding domestic short/medium/long-haired cats to your lists. (Can also be listed as “pound purries.”) Please and thank you.

Hey, that makes as much sense as anything else that results in living to 90 freaking years old. I like it.

YES. With Sanders her only competition, the fact that he and his supporters were making up a huge chunk of likely voters should have pointed her LEFT in her search for a running mate. Kaine was a safe bet but JESUS, was he boring, and he didn’t fill any gaps that she left open. Clinton herself is so close to the…

The husband used to say that if I ended up in the ditch during the winter, I could live for days off the dropped French fries, Cheerios, and water bottles in the car. With the girls grown and gone (and a change in vehicles since Cheerio days), I’d be in a little trouble in the food department, but the last time I…

My husband really gets off on parking ours at his parents’ house, where his siblings and parents drive brand new Escalades, Audi SUVs, Lexuses (Lexi?), etc. Our beat up 12-year-old Toyota van squats in the middle like an ugly old toad.

We had a Ford Escort earlier in our marriage that had gotten to 140,000 miles - and I have a personal opinion that Fords aren’t BUILT to last over 100K. We decided that the next major repair would be “it” - the event that triggered the End of Life for the Escort. But then nothing broke. By its official EoL, the…

We’re in the same income bracket (mostly mine, as the husband is on disability), but have some fucking ridiculous medical bills to contend with. I’m with you on the car thing. Mine is 12 years old. It’s a Toyota, for one thing, and also I travel for work, so I drive National Car Rental cars during the week. I really…

I’m not young; my girls have both graduated from college and are working full time (and have their own places, paying their own rent/bills, etc). The Husband and I make good money, but dropping $2,000 on something like this is just something we would never do, now or when we were young. There’s something in my genetic…

(I was talking about the Scott Baio pic in a comment above that shows a....lack of manscaping, to put it delicately.)

I get that - I’m old too. (I had the Shaun Cassidy poster. LOL)

Well, yes, I’m aware of that, but the picture could be digitized and ‘shopped NOW....??
