Thank you! I thought I was one of the few in the universe who knew this, learnt at my depression-survived mother's knees. She was an awesome cook, too, and thought the red velvet cake was lame compared to GOOD chocolate.

That thing with teeth is freaking me out, man. Totally crawling out from under that rock. Woah.

So, what would one do with the old peener diaper? Cause you gotta put on a fresh one after draining the radiator.

Now I can lay blame for my boys' giant heads on husband's German side. God, as near-adults they are HUGE. Big jaws and teeth, too. The eldest once proudly showed me how he could take one bite of a McDonalds hamburger and get the entire patty, leaving a slim crescent of bun.

No, the decal to put on the back of the pickup camper.

Ms. Pam, PLEASE BE MY BEST FRIEND.

I don't know what I'd do with a daughter. (I have barely aware boys). Probably terrorize her with age-appropriate horror stories about weirdos out there, increasing in drama as she ages. Then again I am a dreadful person, having no shame (I'm an ex-assistant DA). I fed my kids true crime stories throughout their…

Oh, I'm so there. I finished school in '84 and am now trying to navigate the terrain for college for my 16, 19 and 21 year olds. I did everything pre-internet and don't have a clue these days with their newfangled online course materials and tests and suchlike. I can't even give them advice on part-time jobs. About…

THANK YOU! Now I will do something productive this afternoon rather than obsessively searching for this.

Check out the Portlandia episode "Nina's Birthday" and the couple requesting the birthday loan.

At last! Another woman who wears hose to court! They don't here in Texas. I am old and cranky and demand you young pups wear some stockings if you're going to show legs, like I had to. Never mind that pantyhose feel like your lower half is dipped in vinyl during the summer months.

I needs me some Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing. Gonna get 5-6 bottles today to let them know I approve.

Me too. I'm a big gal and a 36DD. The prow on this steamer is majestic enough, thank you. Plus I want a bra to feel like clothing, not twin codpieces. Not that I know anything about that, but the rigid pop-up cup thing is...disturbing.

I've been practicing law in the Fifth Circuit for 25 years. Jones writes some of the worst opinions in the nation, and has made some of the most head-scratching law.. I'm grateful this is hitting the popular blogs, because otherwise no one outside the stuffy federal court sphere cares how bad she is. I like Jezebel's…

If I get virtual wedding invite, I send gift of virtual goat. Everyone happy.

Same question. I don't care what happens once the clothes are gone. It's like worrying that the perfectly good cardboard box you donated is going to be ground up for recycling.

Children, children, gather around. I too had the five 0 clock shadow and stubble AND black toe hair. Then I came into a small pile of money 10 years ago and lasered that shit all the way to the hoo ha and a tad beyond. Took 6 sessions over 9 months and the toes hurt like a bitch, but the best money I ever spent. No…

You too! Same issue here. Fortunately I got fat and can't wear either now so I tossed them. Also never buy Old Navy online. Some of the stuff looks OK but bizarrely huge or has teeny tiny sleeves or has a neckline down to the navel.

Oooh, come on, tell us what it was! Hope it wasn't Lightning Dick.

Well, yeah, I kinda knew that, but seriously? That's the reason? Cause Betts and Babs are older rich white women and I thought that was OK with that ilk.
