Not to mention that she was able to attain power of attorney over her daughter. If Gypsy ran away her mother might have been able to make the police or some other authority bring her home, on the grounds that she wasn’t mentally able to make her own decisions.

Just tell your mom you knew a guy who knew a guy and you got it especially for her. Make it sound like you broke the law for her butt.

Can confirm, is the actual worst. We bought an off-brand Roomba-esque machine and my fiancee had to open up the case in an attempt to clean it. We ended up trashing it and getting a vacuum.

I’d watch eBay; there’s a lot of figure swapping going around on there. I’ve seen people sell every combination of every part of the figures.

I really recommend the Ghostbuster pack with Venkman and the Ecto-1, although with the ladies pack coming out you’ll have your pick. Not only can Venkman turn into any of the other ‘busters just by holding Y, but the ghostbusting beam thingy acts like a big-ass laser in the game. Really good for just destroying…

I don’t know if it applies to black hair, but my white curly hair absolutely adores Not Your Mother’s Beach Babe Sea Salt Spray. It reduces poof AND frizz, and gives hair strength and shape without making it so you can’t touch it. It works literal magic if you spray it on wet.

Not experienced with Buffet concerts, but Springsteen concerts are basically this with a liberal America theme instead (and a ton of conservative concertgoers who haven’t listened to any of Springsteen’s lyrics, like, ever). Having a drunk middle-aged woman pet me and insist she would be my “concert mom” was one of my…

I think it’s not the melting so much as the debate of whether it WILL melt. You can expect a passenger will eat their chocolate at some point on the plane; but reasonably, a stick of butter will become butter-liquid over the course of your flight.

I’m shocked by the number of people in this thread who have been *not* stopped by the TSA. I have been stopped for 1) filling my carry-on with so many books that it looked like a black square (+5 minutes because trace amounts of lead because I was twelve and it was my school backpack), 2) forgetting I’d left my lefty…

I was supposed to go on a ski trip in school but it got cancelled because the DC Sniper was out and around and the entire DC area pretty much didn’t let children go outside for 2 months. Which I understand now, but I did NOT at the time.

Oh man. Kaya and Josefina and Kit are going to the GRAVE with me. I have literally no trust in my future children/my current niece-to-be.

Possibly the best memory of my childhood was when my little sister’s Bitty Baby finally gave up the ghost of life and its head went bouncing down the stairs while sister screamed like a banshee. So in my book Bitty Babies are pretty rad.

On the depressing side of this, there’s a video to be found somewhere on CNN’s website where a young man was asked what the country could do for him and other victims, and he said (paraphrased) “Just pray for us...we all could use it.” This response is shitty, but at least one victim would genuinely like prayers sent…

I need it so bad.

Yeah like, honestly extremely pissed off about the way this is written. I have my own opinions about the effects Adderall and other ADD meds had on me, but calling all ADD drugs “methamphetamines wrongly given to children” is enraging. I literally needed to be medicated so that I would notice when I was about to step…

Something feels deeply ethically troubling to me to continue to trade on a performer’s making live performances after they’re dead. To make them show up to something, when they are dead, is just...weird. Would Whitney have chosen to be a part of this? Did she want to continue performing after she died? This concept is…

Ohhhhh. That makes more sense, then, because about half the white teens in the area are doing the 90's grunge thing right now.

How do you even find things at H & M? It seems like the pieces that are actually wearable in a workplace environment are priced up compared to the rave wear—I’ve gone there 5 times and bought 1 shirt total.

I went into Hot Topic the other week—I had 3 pairs of jeggings from them that I wore until they busted—and as I was checking out I was told I was A) pre-qualified for the store credit card, B) that this was the Most Amazing Thing to Ever Happen because No One Ever Pre Qualifies, and C) whenever I go to any Hot Topic…
