Of course someone in the executive branch wants to discourage people from enrolling. The entire Republican party does. That’s why they cut the enrollment period down and almost completely did away with the marketing budget so people would actually know/remember that they had to re-enroll.  I wouldn’t be surprised in…

Not to change the subject but have ya’ll see Love & Mercy? I thought it was sooooo good.  And Elizabeth Banks is amazing.

Good lord, who pays for porn? tnaflix.com is a treasure trove of pretty much anything you could ever want.

Just make up the craziest activities you can think of.  

You should record your conversations with her.  That could be fun.

Oh, we just do our presents the next day :)  Actually, I already got one today because my mom didn’t want to go to the store and buy it by herself (it’s a big rug from Ikea).

And the thing is, she probably liked it too but because it belonged to them as a couple, she had to banish it from the house.  

So, not the soundtrack to the musical, which would make an awesome gift.  My cousin tried to give my niece a bible for her birthday.  She was like “what am I gonna do with this?”

Mmmm, BBQ pizza sounds awesome now. Also, I just saw a picture of a grilled cheese sandwich and now I want one of those too.

Oh, that reminds me of the time my friend was suffering with suicidal thoughts really horribly and that just happened to be the time her step-dad decided it would be a good idea to clean all his guns and have them laying out in the basement.

We had a roll of toilet paper one year.  It was very popular.  It’s always fun to see what people fight to get.

It’s supposed to be fun and creative. We have a good time. And our fundamentalist Christian cousins have put the kibosh on real gifts because “that’s not what Christmas is supposed to be about.” Apparently, they’re not doing Santa on Christmas morning for their kids either.

Take your star.

I used to listen to country music almost exclusively. Now the only song I’ve heard on this whole chart is the one by Chris Stapelton. And that’s because of YouTube reviews from Lost In Vegas. Those guys are all about him. I basically stopped listening to country when the Dixie Chicks were so fucked over. Have seen no…

Have you read or watched Big Little Lies?  The book is great but it’s the first time that I actually thought that the show/movie was better than the book.  There’s something about the domestic violence that is so much more visceral watching it rather than reading it.

And Carrie Underwood did not get famous from radio, she won American Idol.  And that was 13 years ago.

I mostly read stupid romance novels but the big non-fiction book of this year for me was Michelle Obama’s Becoming. I did a review on my YouTube channel (it’s just getting started so don’t make too many nasty comments about how horrible the editing is ;).

Rose: “Prost”

There were a ton of expatriates in Europe who decided to stay after the war. There was a lot to clean up, rebuild and put back together. Julia Child didn’t come back to the US until 1961.
