@Daoudmac: There's something so adorable about her. Look how her nose wrinkles when she smiles.

@NefariousNewt: Not at all, it's an excellent suggestion!

I had the pleasure of seeing Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers live a few years ago—so awesome. Love the music, and they were great performers.

In 8th grade, my US History teacher and I had a heated debate about whether women should serve in combat situations. He said, "We need women in order to keep the human race going; therefore, they should not be killed off in combat."

@dialing_footnoterphone: The schnoz kills me.

My ovaries just exploded, and my uterus is on High Alert. Oh, and my cats are about to get snorgled.

@chelseadotemail1: I was a little nervous about a post I made recently about getting bit in the boob by a horse...and then I thought, "Okay, if a potential employer doesn't laugh at that story, I don't want to work for him/her!!"

I didn't stay up to watch it, but watching these is a lot of fun. Her monologue was AWESOME. She has immaculate timing and just goes to show that age ain't nothin' but a number.

@Scoldy Lox: I think it's a trombone.

@PetiteGal: Hell, my middle school students are so not into Justin Bieber. But then, I teach in a neighborhood where a priveleged white boy is just looked on with derision and scorn. Two years ago, my girls had "I [heart] Chris Brown" scrawled all over their folders.

@thisisnotkathy: What a beautiful place to get married—smack in the middle of Yosemite? I'm in love with that park.

@Flackette Goes Retro: I'd just like to apologize to everyone who was waiting in that long ladies room line in the London McDonald's on Oxford Street in 1999, when this crude American hogged one of the two stalls, had a massive bout of diarrhea, and then found, to her dismay, that the toilet would NOT flush. And got…

Hell, *I* need reading material and a a spare 45 minutes. I like to do things right the first time.

@SunburnedCounsel: Oh, we'll have already established that he's fit enough to climb. But before/after...doesn't really matter to me! Hell, maybe get married at the top!

Reason #4,375 that getting married—just me and the guy, whoever he ends up being—in the little chapel in Yosemite National Park looks better and better all the time. Then climbing Half Dome.

My brother and I were raised to send thank-you notes for every gift. It was drilled into us, and I still do it. My brother and his wife do not insist that their kids send thank-you notes, and they don't even call to let us know that gifts have arrived. My parents and I have become more and more reluctant to send gifts…

I got my mom a fruit bouquet from Edible Arrangements (I'm visiting this weekend, so I did it a week early). She loved it, and we've eaten about half of it together.

Junior Prom: I asked a sophomore boy I was friends with. We ate the crappy food, danced up a storm, and talked and laughed with our friends. Good time, but I barely remember it, 15 years later.

This makes me think of the ex-NFL player who came to my school the other day and pretty much proceeded to tell the 5th-8th grade boys that they need to find a woman who will take care of their castle.

@Pugnacioun: Emotionally. I still want some of the stuff I wanted at 17, like to make a living singing. LOL
