Most people find them relaxing. You can see progress as you go, it’s something to do with your hands, you can watch TV at the same time, it’s not that different than knitting, hand quilting, cross stitching, or other types of crafting as far as how it stimulates your brain.

I can relate. I’ve dyed all my clothes and wallpaper in Scheele’s Green to get that beautiful Victorian look. The drowsiness, headaches, and vomiting are small prices to pay for a home that looks this good.

And then there’s this.

But this case is specifically about the birth certificate, which doesn’t indicate who raises the child anyway, it’s apparently only meant to be a record of “the biological reality of [child’s] birth.” Their argument is that he can’t be the baby’s father on paper because he’s the gestational parent. You’re not on your…

Trader Joe’s is at least 50% impulse buys. That requires people to be in the store.

Hmm. No. I’d say that Trader Joe’s is on the wrong side of the coin here. Whilst they may think that people will want to frequent their stores post-lockdown (and they may well be correct), there’s no actual indication that everything will return back to the way it was before. In my country (UK) we’ve seen a massive…

TJ’s is paying workers extra and giving them PPE, extra sick time and plexiglas barriers at the checkout. I went to our local one last weekend and it seemed fine? I mean, they were limiting customers and spacing people out well, I saw plenty of cleaning supplies... I’m not saying they’re perfect but most employers…

I was 10 when this came out and I could never get over their mansion - I mean that kitchen!!! And, I was scared that dads acting like this was a real thing because it made me very uncomfortable even at 10.

I have to disagree with most of this. Rich, you rightly point out that this is all about Martin as fully disclosed in the title. The whole story is his perspective on events that are unfolding outside his control or comfort zone (while also not letting him off the hook for ridiculous behavior). The concept of a father…

It’s pretty easy not to love Steve Martin. He’s an asshole. 

One quibble: this movie isn’t about the “dissolution of power” but rather the dissolution of the illusion of power.

I don’t remember too much about this movie but I think I saw it when I was like 11 or 12 and even then I was like, this is really dated and weird (also I remember thinking 22 was too young to get married and adult women who call their father “daddy” skeeves me out). It But then the sequel where his wife and daughter…

It always bothered me that he clearly removed the “superfluous buns” from at least 2 packages of buns even though he could’ve bought 3 packages of hotdogs and 2 packages of buns and had 24 hot dogs and 24 hot dog buns.

I remember not long ago TLC talking about being bankrupt despite their albums selling millions. It’s not really a turning point so much as a continuation and stagnation of artist’s having very little rights over their music.

I was 18 when this movie came out. Even in 1991, it was obvious that this was a movie for middle aged men. The type of men who liked to joke about cleaning their guns in front of their daughters’ boyfriends. It sucked then and it sucks now. That being said, I can confirm that hotdog buns used to come in packs of 12.

Martin Short’s character pronouncing “cake” as “cock” was one of the more priceless moments. 

My dad passed away on February 29, 2020. On March 2, 2020 me and my mom went to the funeral home to make funeral arrangements. March 3, we called social security to get my mom the survivor benefits and to cancel the Social Security payments and they already knew that my dad passed because the funeral home informed…

Here’s the interesting thing: the IRS (usually) knows when you die, because SSA (usually) knows when you die. That info comes over basically in real time (roughly 4 weeks, which is just about real time in government world). Point being: there’s no excuse for corona credits to be going to corpses except for somebody…

Reminder: Dr. Phil is not an M.D., he’s a clinical psychologist who surrendered his license to practice years ago because of repeated misconduct.

Not surprising.  Republicans don’t want female politicians for the most part.  There are some exceptions but the number of female Republicans in Congress went down in 2018.  Because they’re women, they are seen as being more moderate compared to the male candidates, even if they take more extreme, right wing…
