Are unfounded bomb threats not a normal occurrence? Ours had 6 over the course of two months, 3 of them happening in a 10-day period. They caught most of the kids involved, but I think they're still happening occasionally....

Even before that ridiculous rash of them, we had like one or two a year. And it's a podunk…

Seeing YoSaffBridge doesn't make you old. It means you have excellent taste.

Well, thank God for the Biblical and English royalty names my siblings and I got, then.

Ooh! I've never seen those. I've seen the plastic inserts that can size a ring down, but I would have to change the inserts constantly. If this can be adjusted, it's just the thing! Thanks. :)

That weird purple thing they use in place of alexandrite on school rings and mother's jewelry doesn't do it any justice. The real stuff is indeed quite lovely. (Not as good as pearls, though! It will always be my default birthstone. Why does June have two, anyway...?)

I desperately wanted a colored stone for my engagement ring. In our normal-person price range, though, you can only find them set in sterling silver. For something I'm going to be wearing every day for (hopefully) the rest of my life, that's too high maintenance for me.

Actually, what I really wanted was a pearl....…

Every winter, my ring gets spinny and likes to live backwards, with the stone facing palmward and I'm like "MAN I need to get this resized!" But I don't, and then when August comes around I almost can't get it off. I think I'm almost at the short-lived midpoint.

If I'm remembering correctly, "Chinese kale" and "Chinese broccoli" are actually the same thing, and it's a cross between the two. It tastes MUCH better than actual kale, which is the worst.

I can't even call it a recent trend, but I guess that's relative. Kale's totally been a thing the whole time I've worked in produce, and that's been almost three years now. Kale is not new anymore, certainly not in the Northeast.

Exactly. Salted butter is for spreading on things, unsalted is for baking and people who follow their doctor's advice about limiting salt intake. I am not one of those people.

Indeed. So distracting. :(

I've never seen topless guys at my gym, but there are several who where those shirts with huge armholes that might as well not be there. But hey, still a shirt, I guess.

I try to keep my eyes on the cardio side of the gym. Not going to lie, man nipples freak me out a little.

Exactly. I don't have a problem with the dress so much as the face she's making. Not a happy face, to be sure.

Truth. I think it depends on whether I ate a banana before I came in.... Some days it's so painful that I'd rather watch Storage Wars or whatever that show is.

Yeah, I was watching one of his shows while I was at the gym and it seemed pretty normal. Now, I was watching without sound, so who knows if his voice would have ruined it, but he wasn't acting like I expected him to. I could see myself maybe not hating it.

I'm joining the gang asking for more info. My old shrink recommended getting shots in my neck to help with my tension headaches, but I never pursued it.

My boyfriend loves to watch prank videos online, and occasionally feels like he really really needs to show me one. Each time, I have to remind him that if he pulled any of that on me, his shit would be outside within an hour. Pranks suck.

The picture is the only reason I clicked this story. He's so cute!

A little piece of me feels like a pig when I get asked that question, but I always say, "Heck no. If he wants dessert, he'd better order his own!"
