What’s truly problematic is when the contaminant is invisible. For example, Starbucks and other similar paper coffee cups where the inside is coated with plastic to prevent absorption. According to my county’s recycling guide, they no longer want us to recycle the cardboard boxes that frozen items come in because they…

On my garbage opinions?!

Yeah, but the Irish immigrants of old pulled themselves up by their BOOTSTRAPS, unlike today’s Central American immigrants who are all coming over to live like kings and queens on WELFARE (/s)

I lurve my trouser cut high-waisted jeans.

And Michelle Obama ft. Missy Elliott so we can remember how things used to be...

My SIL over-plucked her already genetically thin eyebrows in the early 00's and now they’re gone for good.

My Google-fu indicates that Little Blue Subaru is a song by an even lesser known and even whiter Soundcloud rapper named Lil Zubin. Lyrics don’t indicate any drug connection, just that “Subaru” rhymes with lots of things; “you,” “too...” The lyricism!

Birds get all their tea through twitter.
I’ll see myself out...

I’m really sorry for your loss. We call our littlest kitty a lap-adjacent cat. She doesn’t like to be picked up at all, and she doesn’t really like to sit on laps either, but her favorite place to be is stretched out and pressed up against my thigh/femur while I’m on the couch. She’ll sometimes roll over for tummy…

Same. I’d go so far as to call my husband a Farscape fanboy (he rewatches it probably every 3 years - I’ve only joined in once), and he liked Guardians too. Was the second one as fresh and “outside the box” as the first one? No. Was it a good use of $15 & 2 hours? Very much so.

I kind of remembered this one because of the cute kid and the fun wigs. But yeah, doesn’t hold a candle to Missy’s vids. 

Did she do multiple colabs with JaRule to make voice sound better by comparison? Is this what Ashanti was doing too. Hmmm. 

Or WALL*E. Now I can’t unsee that!

I am probably talking about the same river and bridge. We were staying in Quepos, just 15 miles further down the coast. It was a great honeymoon. I want to do it again! 

We did our honeymoon in Costa Rica several years ago. We started on the Gulf coast in an area where sea turtles nest. We noticed pretty quickly that although there were a lot of locals on the beach, no one was anywhere near the water. Apparently the area is lousy with crocs just waiting to gobble up the hapless baby…

Unfortunately, the part about roller coasters not operating without all restraints locked isn’t always true. There was a woman who was thrown to her death from the Texas Giant at Six Flags a few years ago. The investigation found no mechanical failures, even though her lap bar was not engaged. They really were relying…

Nice! I think technically my college (which is the size of a small city) had its own composting facility fed by the dining halls, but since then, I haven’t lived anywhere with large scale composting, sadly.

Pretty much all the behemoth fast food joints (McD’s, Burger King, etc.) have dramatically reduced their use of styrofoam since the 90's. At least in the U.S., most food items from these places are wrapped in paper or in cardboard boxes. Cups have been the last bastion, since styrofoam is so good at insulating hot and…

Do you live in a community with industrial composting? Or does your employer have its own compost facility? The thing most people don’t realize about compostable plastic is that it only breaks down in very large composting facilities where the internal temperature of the material is regularly over 120 F. It won’t…
