In HS I was the novelty waitress at the only Chinese Buffet in the area. On Sundays, as the after church crowd was coming in, the owner would occupy a table at the door, and as she was usually very drunk, belt out drinking songs. One particular favorite of hers was about a cat and mouse and the punch line was “bring…

I’m horrified (but not) that employers will force employees to cover the losses caused by another’s criminal actions. What incentive does the employer have to pursue legal charges against the robber if they just get their money out of the employee? AND, if the criminal is caught, convicted and forced to pay…

We, very briefly, had a Friendly’s in our town. They had a seating arrangement that was so over crowded that I only ate there once. But, one night my husband and I decided to get milkshakes from their walk up window. My husband ordered something from the menu and the counter girl told him that he should not order THAT…

Following up on that, Utz (the company that bought Zapps a couple years ago) makes “crab chips” which are like the crawtater chips . . . old bay like seasoning.

My HS boyfriend, who graduated first in his class, exclaimed “Peas!” when he saw the grape arbor in my grandparents’ garden.

You can sub applesauce for oil in any cake mix recipe. No one ever notices.

I had a boyfriend in HS (validictorian of his class, btw) who, upon walking around my family’s garden exclaimed “ Peas!” when he saw the grape arbor.

Isn’t the first question anyone asks a young child “and what is your name?” Maybe you should get your kid personalized stuff with the wrong name on it . . . confuse the hell out of everyone, including those pesky kidnappers.

Just wait until the kid is in elementary school and has to wear a school shirt and name tag to the zoo. THE HORROR!!!

The fact this ended up on a social sharing site tells me that one of the lucky relatives thought it was batshit/unreasonable too.

I have, perhaps, from time to time, always gone a tad bit overboard on getting baby things for my friends when they have children. So far, no complaints on too much stuff, though.

mmmmmm cheesy poofs

I'm thinking that your boyfriend/husband having had carnal knowledge of any of your immediate family qualifies as "ick" . . . especially a parent.

First off, yes, she should know about his bisexuality. It isn't something you just turn off, but the fact he is making a commitment to her should be something she trusts. For that matter, they should discuss what the boundaries of the marriage are for the two of them, unique to their relationship. What constitutes…

There is no book store in my town. The only books available to purchase are at the christian supply place and the “marts” . . . not exactly variety. The kindle has been a life saver for me.

The best prank I had was within a group of friends. One was pregnant and having a tough time of it. I was on a trip when my other friends texted me to say that our pregnant friend had revealed the name . . . Stumper Arrington Shooter (for a girl). The names were family names and she planned on nicknaming the child…

My dad use to make something we called "gnarly eggs." I should start ordering them in restaurants. Then, I could gain fame by showing up in one of these stories. (Gnarly eggs had all sorts of shit thrown into them and mixed around rather than a pristine, folded over omelet.)
