When I was a kid, saltines with a smear of peanut butter and jelly on them were my dad’s go-to food for when I was sick. He would make up a little plate of them for me to munch while I laid on the couch. He would also make himself up a larger plate of the same thing. My mom thought this was very strange and never…

I love reading and have a ton of books, but I am the first to admit that modern tech has damaged my attention span, or rather I have let it damage my attention span. My new year’s resolution is to read a book for 30 minutes before bed each night and it has to be a ‘book for fun’ (i.e. Not for work or grad school). So…

That was my first thought! ‘Hey, I want to see Stockard Channing!’ I feel cheated. Maybe they could make it an online only episode.

My dog has a nice bed that he seems slightly scared of and will only lay beside it, not on it. So real good use of my money there.

Over at Deadspin today they had an article about lacrosse players names. One was Joseph Joseph. I don’t get it.

Oh good. After reading through the replies here I wondered if I am the only one who is really close to her mother. My mom has said she thinks Carrie and Debbie’s death has made her so sad because they remind her of us and our closeness. Like Carrie, I know what my mom feels and wants and if someone wants to give us…

Singin’ in the Rain is my favorite movie and Debbie is just so wonderful in it, especially considering she was so young and inexperienced but held her own with two amazing dancers in some pretty tough routines. I also loved her performance in The Tender Trap with Frank Sinatra.

My friend’s stepmother died and then her father died a month or two later. She says he was just too heartbroken. Then she asked about my grandparents. My grandma died, but my grandfather lived for several years after. She seems to believe this means my grandparents were not as much in love as her stepmom and dad. I…

When I saw that tweet from Debbie Reynolds about Carrie being in stable condition, it made me wonder if perhaps they had not yet told her the full extent of the problem to protect her (though tbh does Debbie even do her own tweets?). I can’t imagine how devastated she must be, as any parent would

I know. It’s like when he was in a player’s meeting did his thoughts drift back to when he committed murder? Or at a team publicity event? Or did he have no remorse and so it never even crossed his mind? He has to be a sociopath right?

Yes, and they believe that everyone uses those words in private. Or that everyone at least thinks it.

I actually just read a ‘celebrity run-in’ story the other day (on Reddit I think) that Neil Armstrong was actually a jerk and Buzz Aldrin was the one who was as nice as could be. Now I don’t know what to believe.

I remember when she was on the Tonight Show and Jay Leno mad a joke about her looks and she was very upset and hurt. But yet her jokes are fine? Talk about hypocritical.

My mom has a bad fear of heights. Like looking out of a second story window is too much for her. Yet in a plane she sits by the window and looks down, pointing out towns and rivers. I don’t get it.

That’s what I thought. Cat people know what that swishing tail means. Watch out Kate!

That happened to a classmate in high school. He gave out this big sneeze in math class and then didn’t let his hands down. I think he said “um, I need some tissues” and started to walk around the room looking for them. I remember the teacher said “aw, that’s gross man.”

Once when I was on the bus in Las Vegas that goes up and down the strip I had the sudden realization of how many germs must be on the pole I’m holding, the buttons on the slot machines, the escalator railings...

I feel it is a sign of the imminent collapse of polite society. I have actually seen a few women do it, but I see guys doing it all the time! I’d much rather see someone with their finger up their nose than someone quite actively trying to produce something to spit right on the sidewalk. And then there are the…

There was a small article in my local paper saying that an ‘alternate’ night of trick or treating was not going to happen this year because it was short notices and some people were worried they would be “hit up twice” for candy. I had heard nothing about this, but making an alternate night for convenience’s sake?…

My grandma had a stationary bike, an old school one where the front ‘wheels’ had a cage around them. She told me many times to never ride it barefoot because my toe could get caught. Of course I rode it barefoot and my big toe got caught. It bruised and tore a bit of skin off (thankfully not much blood) and I just put…
