I don’t think people realize how much produce is produced in California (up to 97 and 99% of certain vegetables for the entire nation are grown in California) and how drastically the prices will increase if we cut back on the irrigation. There’s a reason that Jerry Brown basically left the agricultural industry alone…

Yeah, this is a really common one, someone tried the same with my grandparents, they pretended to be my younger brother. Fortunately they figured it out.

It only worked on my grandmother because my cousin is by far her favorite grandkid (and only grandson). If the scammer had pretended to be one of us girls she probably wouldn’t have sent the money.

This can’t be stated enough. With my kids around and needing attention, it’s not really possible to get enough alcohol into my gullet - enjoyably - to get drunk. I’m still nursing the youngest, but I’m not abstaining.

I’d love a copy/redesign of my grandmother’s ring too (very similar to your story—my mom wears the diamond). Its style exactly fits my hand and short fingers.

A woman named Angela Kipp

I wrote a letter to RBG asking her to sign a photo of herself for me for my law school graduation, and her office sent it back all, “Nope, people are selling that shit on ebay, so tough.” BUT THEN THIS HAPPENED, YOU GUYS.

I married an abusive, emotionally manipulative sociopathic fuckwad after dating for only 3 months— literally 90 days from first kiss to “I do”. This didn’t come from any religious upbringing, it came from being brainwashed love stories and wanting to get out of my parents house at an early age. It was a terrible…

So, when I was in kindergarten, I wasn’t allowed to carry an umbrella on the bus.

Your assumption is incorrect. NH has no state income tax, and no sales tax. The revenue from the state liquor stores helps fund our state government.

Re: Julianne Moore on 30 Rock. That shit was atrocious! So bad that they made fun of it on the show when she made a re-appearance. At least she had a sense of humor about it!

Yeah I use to work at a Tim Hortons that would give cops free coffee and donuts for the same reason.

Yeah, when I worked at McDonald’s the cops got free coffee and anything else they wanted for $1 because we liked having them around.

Excellent point - lots of places offer discounts and the like. They do not need us buying them food.

here's my guess - carpool lane. babies count as passengers for the HOV lane - people have used mannequins, stuffed animals, etc. Would not even be slightly surprised to find out someone strapped a fake baby into a car seat for that purpose.

So... the car owner was using the doll to access HOV lanes across the Bay Bridge?

Free security man.

It did help the plot more, I think, than him not watching them over and over would have. It gave it, for a while at least, a bit of a The Shining vibe.

I also feel like people get a little overexcited about dressing being so awful for you. I’m eating fucking salad, most of which has very little calories, so that tablespoon of olive oil is not going to kill me. It’s not like, salad is good for you, so it must be calorie and fat free. If it’s my lunch, it better have…

OMG commenters, there is a point at which you have to accept that when you read an article on a WEDDING BLOG it is most likely going to be about a fairly mainstream wedding, with lots of guests and dinner and open bar and a white dress. You are not making an Important Point by coming here and saying “whatevs you don’t…
