You are so right. I know how to mend like a champ, but if the material itself is poor quality, forget it. (And I've actually found that the price point isn't necessarily a reliable predictor of quality.)

I was confused too, but if you click through to the original article, it's an interview with Chris Noth. (Who played Mr. Big)

I seriously love you just for this thread. So much awesome. Wordless.

I particularly love* that it's HER name out, and NOT his.

You're right, and I was guilty of that (in my head) as well. My apologies.

And now my kid is wondering why I laughed outright. Thanks!

Mark, your last paragraph just seriously changed my perspective on that article.

Well, now that you put it that way...that IS 3x's my rate for helping people irl. ;)

This is brilliant!

You, I love. Thank you.

"Not condoning. ...but..."

Poe's law was never more relevant...

Hoo boy, down the rabbit hole I go! Thanks!

Thank you for this thoughtful reply, and my apologies for being so late to respond. Now I have to re-watch Awakenings!

Yes. Thanks. Perfectly put.

I've loved him since "Mork & Mindy" days. Always followed him, through failed attempts at sobriety & more.

You, I love. Thank you for the links.

That sounds so fascinating!

Beautiful. Perfect. And unfortunately probably prescient.

Oh, how perfect. And good catch on the etch-a-sketch!
