Agreed. I’m honestly no fan of the show, but the characters also weren’t supposed to have a lot of money and care about their fashion choices. I remember kind of gritting my teeth every time dressed-to-the-nines, living-in-a-gorgeous-home Joey Potter talked about “being poor.”
I think My So-Called Life did the best job…

Sandra Bullock wouldn’t lie to us, Jessikin13.
Except more colorful and adorable.
It was amazing.
I like your stepmom’s style.
I had a similar experience. My husband and our son and I moved into an old townhouse in the Rittenhouse area of Philadelphia. Always seemed colder than it should be, weird smells, just uncomfortable vibe at times. One night, I wake up with a jolt and see something descending from the ceiling above our heads, coming…
Look, I know I’m stuck in the greys and no one will see this, but please, please, will someone sit down with me and talk about how off this show has been about 1995 fashion? Their opening scene was a party in 1995, and that was NOT 1995. It was 1989, maybe 1991 at latest.
They looked like they walked straight out of…
Right?
Wait, what? Why?
Let me get this straight. If a restaurant refused to serve black people and a black man who could pass as white ordered take out and brought it home to his family and then said, “Screw you, now you served black people!” you would argue that he was being disrespectful?
Or maybe the word you’re looking…
You have a point: In order to expect the right not to face discrimination, you have to respect the right of others to discriminate against you. Of course, try telling that to these people :
It all starts with the back-to-school feeling, a sensation beloved by freaks.... to crave the sensation of these objects without being trapped within the institution that requires them is twisted almost beyond measure. It’s political kitsch, regression to a dollhouse. “FRESH PENCILS,” screech these malcontent psyches.…
To be fair, I don’t think it’s the chatting part she finds weird.
That said, it sounds like you guys have a happy thing going, so don’t let the rest of us hold you back.
Your mother-in-law is a legend.
Also, is it just me, that I’d much rather someone think I’m having shower sex with my husband than think he’s pooping a foot away from me while I’m in the shower?
“We’ll take it from here.”
Jesus, a full minute’s worth of tossed shrimp at a hibachi grill? THAT’S SO MUCH WASTED SHRIMP.
My brother (Jewish) was dating a Catholic girl with a lovely and welcoming family. They invited him to Easter, where they customarily served ham. But they wanted to be accommodating to his beliefs (not that it matter because he was not observant and did not keep kosher, but they didn’t know that). So, when the whole…
My purse was stolen at the Israeli holocaust museum Yad Vashem while I watched a short film about concentration camps.
I went to a Catholic church one time for a funeral, and they had this cool footstool you could flip down. Totally comfortable at the time but, in retrospect, just not appropriate.
