I had the Chick’n Shack from Shake Shack for lunch today. It’s nearly twice as many calories as the hamburger I should have gotten, but it was delicious! (Like others, I keep saying that I’ll get back into healthy eating habits post-Labor Day.)

I had so many ongoing problems with my AT&T Uverse equipment a few years ago (they finally just had to replace every piece of it), that I have a free equipment discount that has an expiration date of something like 2090. Otherwise, I probably would have ditched them a long time ago.

The first show that I remember getting cancelled before I was ready for it to was Voyagers! in the early 80s. I loved that show when I was a kid. It was fun and educational, and Jon Erik Hexum was darn good looking.

I’m assuming this is describing the standard allergy shots that have been given for decades. I had them when I was a toddler in the mid-70s and again in college in the 90s. Things have become much stricter now, though. When I was doing it the 90s for a couple of years, I only had to stay in the office to much sure I…

Maybe, but I think the Fen/Phen craze happened when I was in college.

Every wrestler at my high school did this in the early 90s.

When I was 19, I was told that I should be Annie Wilkes from Misery in the Stephen King wing of my university’s haunted house because I looked like Kathy Bates. I totally didn’t see it then, but now that I’m about the same age she was in the movie...yeah, I look like her.

Oh, I was in middle school and thought it was totally cool. It looked like something Cindy Mancini would wear, but not her mom. (I also wanted to be ONJ in Xanadu when I was six, so I don’t necessarily trust my own judgement.)

You’re right. Cher can pretty much pull off anything.

Don’t fret, mom’s can certainly wear them if they want. It just didn’t seem to match her mom’s style or personality. And didn’t it have fringe? No one can pull off fringe. Not even Olivia Newton John.

Here’s the one thing that has always bugged me about that movie: why on earth did her mom have a good-awful mid-riff baring suede outfit? I could see Regina George’s “cool mom” thinking it was a good look for her, but not Ms. Mancini.

I have super sensitive skin. Just walking into a Sephora makes my skin itch and turn red. Most products, even those for sensitive skin, make my face burn.

I know that. In fact, I grew up in Louisiana, about 30 miles from the coast. But flooding like this can happen regardless of where the state is in relation to the coast. St Louis floods. Fargo floods. Scottsdale floods. Boulder floods. Last time I looked at a map, none of those cities were in coastal states, yet they…

The areas that are flooding aren’t coastal cities under sea-level. This isn’t because of a storm surge or tidal flooding. This is because of an intense amount of rain in a short amount of time. Flooding like this happens many places, including the middle of the US.

According to the book We Two: Victoria and Albert: Rulers, Partners, Rivals, the issue was that Albert was raised to believe his only function as the second son in his family was to marry up and create as many heirs as possible to marry into other royal families. Because of this, his sex education was all about…

Ugh...you just ruined that statue for me. It was one of my favorite pieces in the National Portrait Gallery, but know I can only see the Duggars.

I think there’s also a third class of poster that is trying to cover up a bad relationship. Way before the internet, my parents had some friends who were overly lovey in public. The husband made the wife homemade Valentine’s Day cards and gave her flowers all the time. Turns out their marriage was a nightmare, and he…

The “pizza-flavored” Pizza Rolls were always rectangular, but some of their other flavors, like “taco”, were triangular. I haven’t seen those in a while, though.

When I was a kid, my grandmother gave us Zebra Cakes and Coke floats for snacks. It was fantastic!

One of my high school English teachers called me Hemingway because of my writing style. She also accepted three-page papers from me instead of the required four pages because I could pack in so much info compactly.
