He’s plain-faced, his hair is stupid, he’s a creep, and most people react to his music with disappointment that he is not a Canadian pop-rock star of the 80s.  What’s not to like?

I was going to comment “Play Summer of ‘69!” but it appears the comments have been limited.

Well great. Now “Summer of ‘69" will be stuck in my head all day.

I think it’s a popular opinion, but I can’t be sure. But I do know this ring is ugly.

A diamond this large should be in a necklace, and the setting should be less...hideous.

It really is.  Everything about it is wrong.

It’s a shame to arrange such a rare diamond in such an ugly setting.

“perhaps a very shiny nugget of pooh.” This was my first thought whenI sawit.  Thank you for validating it.  I think it’s the weird way it dangles off the band?  And the shape.  Basically, it looks like when your cat eats tinsel and the poo is sparkly and just hangs out of their butthole. 

About which part?  That it might actually taste good?

Yeah, I tend to dislike sweet cocktails, but after all of this excitement, I feel compelled to try this anyway.

This sounds like an excellent way to try this. The worst cocktail I have ever tied on a whim so far was a Rusty Nail (Scotch and Drambuie) which was a happy hour special. It tasted like Scotch poured into grape cough syrup, but I am glad I tried it, so I will maybe try this one this weekend.

At this point I need to try this, just to see. All I have at home is white, but I’ll grab a red and a Coke this weekend.

Ugh. My husband once bought me a bottle of chocolate wine for Valentine’s day. It definitely tasted like Yoo-hoo poured into a sweet red. Shudder.

He also forced himself to eat way past the point of fullness. It really was not what he was eating nearly as much as how much he was eating. He required himself to accept the supersizing any time it was offered. As I said above, you would have just as much weight gain if you went to my mom’s or my MIL’s house for 30…

I hated that movie so much- he had to supersize his meal if they suggested it, even if he wasn’t very hungry. What a revelation that forcing yourself to eat far beyond the point of fullness for 90 meals in a row will result in weight gain and feeling like shit. I guarantee you would gain even more weight and feel…

Wow. Red wine mixed with Coke sounds like the sort of disgusting concoction a 15 year old would invent. Perhaps it is delicious, but it sounds like it tastes like vomit on the way down, as well as up.

I love Red Lobster for one thing: the lobster. I have had better lobster only at a seaside restaurant in Maine. I have had more expensive lobster, many times, at restaurants I generally like, but Red Lobster’s lobster is consistent and delicious.

What about “making your hobby a source of occasional pocket money?” Because I absolutely believe you that making it your livelihood sucks all of the fun out of it. I actually remember the day as a child when I realized I would never be a professional cyclist. I think there was a professional cyclist on an episode of…

Is there anything I can get out of meditation that I can’t get out of sketching and doodling? I’m not being snarky- I just find sketching really relaxing, and I genuinely wonder if it gives me the benefits other people get from meditation?

But, based on the general tone of your comment, maybe your kids would like a vacation from you...
