Oh, the times I’ve heard, “Here, take my parka,” over the years! From Moms, Dads, cousins, bartenders, nuns, strangers, boyfriends. My vet said it to me, my sister, my Gramps, a guy at a news stand...everywhere! (But never, ever “the good one.” There are limits.)

That’s a damn ski parka (not “damn” relative to you, just annoyed that, much like “fetch,” evidently someone’s trying to make “puffer coat” happen). smh.

Cute, too.

Cute, too.

I think it’s always best to go with your gut. That way, if things ever go sideways in the future, you’ll be able to explain honestly that you apparently misjudged the situation and apologize. No matter what you do or don’t do, somebody’s going to be pissy anyway.

I’ve been using The Pink Bottle with the Green Cap for slightly under 50 years. Every now and then over the years, I’d get a wild hair on and try something (everything) new but always came back to that Pink Bottle. The only thing I’ve stuck with anywhere close to that long is Noevir Skin Products.

Ha! The only thing I remember from my personal statement (they weren’t called that back in ‘68) when I was applying for Graduate School was that I included a sentence about how I’d buried 2 goldfish (Finny and Fanny) just outside of North Platte, Nebraska. I don’t know what I was thinking, but Denver U. bought it.

The main thing that always surprises me about Alley Mills is that she’s married to Orson Bean.

I think it’s Poor Whitney trying to be cute, which rarely turns out well. Look at it as something akin to Dorothy Parker’s s put-down in her review of “House at Pooh Corner” in The New Yorker. She despised the book and, under her nom de plume “Constant Reader,” declared, “Tonstant Weader Fwowed up.” Although it must…

Nope. It’s the same refrain every weekend: Whitney being Whitney.

As much as it pains me to say it, I thought he was passable in “Dan in Real Life.” It was such a good movie, though, that maybe he was forced to elevate what little game he had just to stay in-step with Dianne Wiest, John Mahoney, Steve Carrell, et al (also featuring Emily Blunt as Ruthie “Pig-Face” Draper!)

It was 1959, I was in 8th grade, and both my parents burst into the theater and literally dragged me out of “Blue Denim” by both arms. My father slapped the boy I was sitting with on top of his buzz cut, wiped the mess from that off on my face, drove me home, ordered me to my room (a godsend) and grounded me for 2…

That “Fine Mess” shot up there? That’s Springsteen’s first, Julianne Phillips.

I’m sorry you lost your hero(ine).

Except no. I just saw all those white deer head things in the larger shots and that made it just look like aluminum foil or some such. I still think the cropped shots look pretty.

Or Twister?

I agree but, damn, I love that dark blue background-whatever (wall? fabric?) above the fireplace.

That was also one of the stand-out comments in the Larry Nasser letter read by the judge in court. Larry Nasser actually wrote, regarding his young victims, “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.” He is more repulsive than Trump, which I thought impossible.

I remember when she was doing Lindsey Buckingham during/after the release of OOTC. That’s all I got.
