Yeah, I went to the dentist Wed. And his show was on in the waiting area. Blargh.

I’m not quite that affected, but I also fear turning my back to a room, especially when sitting. In restaurants, I always try to take the chair that faces the room. I think it’s because I startle very easily, and I don’t want anyone to walk up behind be and scare me.

I’m sorry, Mike Hunt. There is nothing you can do. Nothing at all.

You mean sharp, no-bullshit writing like this made you roll your eyes? No way!

I moved away from St. Louis five years ago, due to a job relo. I’ve missed it every day since. Yes, it has its problems, but it’s also a city with many fine public institutions and museums, great parks, theaters, restaurants...it’s a city with a soul. And it’s very affordable and a great place to raise a family.

No, they pronounce it ‘Mizzouree.’ Well, at least St. Louisans do. People from out-state pronounce it incorrectly, with an ‘ah’ ending.

Eww..you’re right. Yuck. Her hair looks fantastic though.

In my dreams, I’m a natural redhead. I’ve tried to dye my blond hair red, but it’s not easy to do and is really a commitment. Basically, I’m lazy.

I’ve lived in Louisville for 5 years and still haven’t done it. When we first moved here I tried to get into the bourbon thing, but it’s been difficult. We have a cabinet full of Woodford Reserve because everybody here gives it as a corporate holiday gift and it takes us forever to work through a bottle.

Yeah, but you Kroger has it on sale like every other week. I just stock up when the price is lower.

I’m currently working my way through a pack on those, and they are good, but nothing touches my La Croix Pineapple/Strawberry.

I recently forgot to pack underwear on a trip to Toronto. I frankly hated spending even a minute of vacation time shopping for underwear.

Yes, it does make him look terrible. I think a lot of us would hope that our president would have a bit more dignity than some salesman.

I’m sure I’ll be racked over the coals for this, but I truly don’t understand.

I agree with most of what you said, but I also agree with Non Sleeping Giant that ‘tricking’ a man into believing you’re a cis woman when you’re not would be incredibly dangerous and foolish...just not worth the risk. It’s easy to imagine, however, how a lack of communication could result in a very awkward…

My dog just got the second in a two-shot series of canine-flu vaccines. Take that, dog-anti-vaxxers!

I seriously can’t imagine what it would take to keep me from being outside for this. Maybe being hospitalized and totally immobile.

I, too, had always been frustrated by my inability to make a decent pie crust. My mother could make one with her eyes closed, but it was one skill I just never picked up. I recently tried this recipe:

I demand Before and After pictures!

It’s a situation I admit I hadn’t really thought about u till I spent a little time in Cambodia on vacation to SE Asia. Our tour guide was a man who had a number of family members who were murdered by the Khmer Rouge. The way he talked about it was chilling. He was almost matter-of-fact about it...the way he listed…
