Cats will also eat grass when they have upset stomachs to make themselves vomit. This is why you’ll see little blades of grass in their puke sometimes.

Ahhh, yes. I read the first comment and didn’t realize.

My image focused, “Karen” of a sister stole one of my teenage son’s Christmas presents at my parents’ Christmas Eve gathering. He was in that awkward, angsty stage and this really bothered him. She thought it was super funny and refused to return it, even when I quietly took her aside and asked nicely. Nothing says…

I got this for my brother, the horriblest person I know.

I was invited to a friend’s White Elephant party one year with a really big group. I thought it was for silly gag gifts but after people started opening them, I realized no, people were getting fairly nice stuff, like a small immersion blender, a set of tumblers with a bottle of wine, etc.

Oh, cripes! I just reread the article and realized this was supposed to be for rude gifts you’ve given, not received. Uh, well, I guess I have a few of those. I tend to panic around the holidays if I don’t have a gift in mind for someone, and if I’m panicked enough I’ll just buy the first thing I think of, so I’ve…

The giver was my father, not me, but this is still a great story.

My stepfather was an abusive brute, who loved to give “gifts” that would be “useful” rather than outright kind. Hence the wheelbarrow he gave me one year for Christmas.

“Ghosting: It’s not just for bad Tinder dates anymore!”

I’m just here to be off-topic and report a murder.

My senior quote was in Elvish and I was hugging a tree in my picture. This was in a yearbook in Massachusetts so my nerdy ass might already be in the archive🤣🤣🤣

Last summer, news broke that the Boston Public Library was going to digitize high school yearbooks across Massachusetts in an effort to archive “as many of the state’s historically significant documents as possible and make them available online.”

Under the religious logic, viable doesn’t mean what you think it means. They operate basically on the dichotomy of dead fetus or not dead fetus. Because miracles. So they will wait up until the very last possible moment, until the mother’s life is in imminent danger, before they act. That’s the only way they can…

God has, hands down, the worst fan club.

This is just another reason why the US needs nationalized, single payer, healthcare. Churches shouldn’t be running hostpitals unless those hospitals are regulated the same as any other hospital and have to offer all of the same services, regardless of religious beliefes, to all patients.  This is pure bullshit.

One of my friends was selling tickets for a booze cruise just about a week before Halloween. He told me it was a costume party. It was like $35. All you can drink for 3 hours. So we figured we would go as Skipper and Gilligan. I was Skipper. He was Gilligan.

Not Halloween, but still a dress up faux pas (or possibly the greatest dress up incident ever, depending on your perspective): A few years back my brother and his girlfriend decided to throw a nice New Year’s Eve party for a few dozen close friends and relatives. They rented a banquet room at a restaurant, had an open…

Actually, I think “Classified” would be a better one for fun—

Damn, I admire that woman so much, both for her kindness and because she was still making doughnuts at 92. (BTW, Mother Wilder made self-turning twist doughnuts in Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Farmer Boy for the DOUGHNUT JAR, which sounds like the most amazing thing ever.)

The recipe won’t work. It’s a totally different starch with different properties—corn is a grain, potatoes are a root vegetable. That’s another article for another day.
